Why Affairs Happen. As many as 65 percent of men and 55 percent of women will have an extramarital affair by the time they are 40, according to the Journal of Psychology and Christianity.
Nasty-looking scabs might also form over the areas you've scratched, and a bacterial infection may develop. If this is your first bout of scabies, four to six weeks may pass from the time the bugs latch onto you until the time you begin to itch. If you've had scabies before, the wait will last only one to three days.
I had a bad case of scabies recently on my back, stomach, legs, arms, neck and shoulders. It took 5 weeks with medication and home therapy treatments, but the itching has finally subsided, the bugs and eggs are dead. Now, the scabs and scars have to heal, which may take a couple more weeks or months even.
