These mites are easily passed between people. Direct skin-to-skin contact is the most common way to share the infestation. The mites can also be spread through infested:

  • furniture
  • clothes
  • bedding

Facilities where people live in close contact to one another often see infestations spread easily. These may include nursing homes or extended-care facilities.
