Scabies
Scabies is a skin condition caused by scabies mites, which are insect-like parasites. It is passed through skin-to-skin contact, and is typically passed through sex. Scabies is not dangerous and can be cured. The only definite way to prevent scabies is to not have close, intimate contact with anyone. Condoms are super great at preventing other STDs (like HIV), but they don’t protect you from scabies. Scabies may seem kind of scary, especially because it’s so easy to spread. Luckily, scabies is very treatable.
