A practitioner took a scab from someone with a mild case, made an incision in the skin of a healthy person, and infected that person with the scab. Sheep-scab is a loathsome skin disease due to an acarian parasite.
I did find this link, but I don't think it will help out much, because there is nothing on the internet about it, other than this. http://en.allexperts.com/q/Wild-Animals-705/frozen-crab-life-thawed.htm. Or you can go to this link. Its about frozen lobsters coming back to life after thawed.
Lobsters are usually caught in an underwater trap called a lobster pot, baited with dead fish. Lobsters usually feed on bottom dwellers like clams, snails, and crabs. Lobsters live in the murk and mud at the bottom of the ocean. Lobsters can grow up to four feet long and weigh as much as 40 pounds. It is believed that lobsters can live as long as 100 years. Lobsters have a crusher claw and a pincer claw; some lobsters have the crusher claw on the right side and others have it on the left.
