Scabies are tiny insects that live in your skin, right?
Yup.
ETA: And I'm ignoring the beautiful Empress.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What is even happening?
Scabies isn't related to chicken pox. It's a mite. Also ringworm? Not worms. It's a fungal infection, like yeast.
vw, don't be silly, you goober. Not!Emily and Emily might want to look themselves over, though. I wonder how you caught it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Because lots of people aren't as smart as the Buffistas and think it's brought on by uncleanliness, multiple sex partners, etc.
I had no idea. Sometimes my ignorance really is blissful.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I had scabies, I had to apply the cream twice, about 7 or 10 days apart (IIRC). Because the eggs survive the first application, so you gotta get them after they hatch, but before they lay their own eggs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Heh. Well, my scabies was about 10 years ago, so that doesn't look likely....

Are you itchy?
Well, now I am.
But that's my special brand of hypochondria. Health class was a nightmare of imagined symptoms for me.
