No. Pets become infested with a different kind of
scabies mite. If your pet is infested with scabies, (also called
mange) and they have close contact with you, the mite can get
under your skin and cause itching and skin irritation. However,
the mite dies in a couple of days and does not reproduce. The
mites may cause you to itch for several days, but you do not need
to be treated with special medication to kill the mites. Until
your pet is successfully treated, mites can continue to burrow
into your skin and cause you to have symptoms.
