Damn since the nice weather came around I feel like the heat is making my skin more sensitive to these things or maybe they are just more active, does anyone know why? Maybe I have been reinfested ? Is this post scabies get more aggressive after ?
Thanks

I have noticed this as well , it seems when I start sweating I start getting more ichy. I work a construction job and i have to wear thick denim and as i work harder i feel more spots constantly bugging me. It is really hard to work like this. They are definetely more aggressive and itchy as your body temperature heats up. It seems as if though this is when they are most active and at night time. Damn these things.

Yes, scabies are drawn to heat. At night time they feel your heat and come out of your mattress and bedding to reinfest you and get some blood. Then they jump off of you in the morning.

Yup scabies love heat for some reason, they are attracted to it and probably think its a host, this is why htey climb on you at night while you sleep and are more active at night while you sleep.

I have also noticed this, the scabies seem to be way more active when it is hot, I also noticed if percipitation is around they will also be more active, say its raining or snowing, percipitation levels probably bring on moisture which makes the scabies more active. I have also heard people on this forum say that scabies are more active when your submerged in water.

From my experience and knowledge is they are attracted to heat and thrive during the evening hours, this is pretty apparant as htey are more aggressive during the night, I beleive that they are feeding for blood or burrowing around. If you have real intesnse spots try putting some vicks vapour rub on them, its not a cure but will completely stop the itching, they clearly dont like that stuff.

It must trigger something in them and make them active because I feel the same way. Once my skin starts getting hot under my jeans I can start feeling this tingling sensation from the scabies, it makes me want to intensly itch my skin during work. To be honest I shouldn't even be at work rite now its driving me nuts, but I need the money. I am glad to find this forum so I can understand them better. I beleive I have had them for 2-3 weeks as the itching and lessions just started developing. I will continue reading and post my updates here.

Yeah I think weather definetely has an effect on their activity, before it rains and stuff you will get more itchier. Especially in the summer months. You need to exfoliate your skin alot to get the debris up also.

So would it be easier to detect scabies during the summer then because of their activity? I know when I had scabies in the winter I couldnt really tell and now that summer has come along I do feel more itching in places that I do not even have bumps or lessions.
