How do you know if you have a scabies mite or some kind of other mite? I keep reading about there are mites such as bird mites, rat mites and so forth

I am trying to figure this out as well, I had recently broken out in a few rashes in typical places I would never get them before with acne or rosecea. I have yet to really itch at all and think I may have come across scabies from children. I will wait a week or two and if I start itching from the scabies I will then go see a doctor immediatly, or I mite just get a natural treatment online and give that a shot as more of a precaution. Infact that is what I am going to do to keep my mind at ease as I have enough stuff to worry about.
