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.
With proper treatment, the rash and intense itching of scabies usually begin to subside within one to two days, although some milder itching can persist for a few weeks. Without treatment, scabies can be a long-term infestation that can spread to other people. During the course of the illness, persistent scratching can lead to chronic crusting of the skin or to painful secondary skin infections caused by bacteria.
