[QUOTE="MAKAVELI, post: 1354730, member: 43825"] I said " states" as in the United States. In the United States, infestation with head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) is most common among preschool- and elementary school-age children and their household members and caretakers. Head lice are not known to transmit disease; however, secondary bacterial infection of the skin resulting from scratching can occur with any lice infestation. Reliable data on how many people get head lice each year in the United States are not available; however, an estimated 6 million to 12 million infestations occur each year in the United States among children 3 to 11 years of age. Some studies suggest that girls get head lice more often than boys, probably due to more frequent head-to-head contact. [url]http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/lice/head/epi.html[/url] Scabies is an intensely pruritic skin condition caused by infestation with the microscopic mite Sarcoptes scabiei. Millions of people worldwide are affected, and in the United States, the rate of infestation has been increasing for several years. All populations are susceptible, regardless of gender, race, or age, although children younger than 15 years are most frequently afflicted. People with multiple sex partners, those who are immunocompromised, and clinicians in direct patient contact are also at high risk for contracting the disease.
