scabies in psych ward
hey guys i potentially have scabies as i have was in close contact with some who had it four weeks ago and i just found out today which is my third day in this private mental health facility. we are doing precautions of isolating me in my room, washing all linen, replacing all my clothing until mine are washed correctly and doing the ointment treatment. however i have limited supplies in my room to busy for the next 3-4days and im wondering if there are somethings i could be allowed to stay with me. so if anyone know if i dont have NOT touch any of the following items for the 3-4 day isolation period please let me know:
- books (reading hardcover book, sketch book, journal)
- my giant insulated water bottle
- my toothbrush and water flosser
i dont really understand if these are included in the objects that shouldnt be touched so the mites dont transfer to human host before they die… even my phone i feel puzzled about…
i dont want to send myself into a panic or get paranoid but the hospital staff havent explained the extent of things i need to leave alone and had to find information online and im feeling on edge as i came in here for continued treatment for my depression and anxiety and now im isolating in a room alone for several days for.. scabies..
