Sea Dip Motel & Condos Give me contact dermititis and Scabies Internet, South Carolina
I was a guest there for the weekend with my fiance for our vacation. I stayed there for from friday to sunday morning. On saturday my left arm ahd a small red rash on it , after i woke up. Later on that evening my face also began to swell up , and turn red . so i began to take benadrayl that day.
the next morning i woke up covered in hives and red skin with several samll rashes , my body was coverd. I checked out aorund ten am and proceeded to drive back home to Nc. When i arrived home four hours later my skin was weepin and in severe pain with noiticable swellin in my face arms and legs.
I went to the ER and got treated for Scabies and contact dematitis , along with prednisone and benadrayl. with Elimite cream for the scabies. I contacted the Sea dip fro two days with no call back. Finall y the manager came to the phone and said her exterminator said it was contact from a person. She was rude after i ask her to pay refund all of my money and pay for my hospital bill.
I informed her that i was seen by three docotrs and nurse who told me that I got this from the hotel and that my family would also need to be treated as well. She began to cuss and say im not given you anything back. I had to buy three types of prescriptions to treat both of the disease.

I agree with what was said before. It is almost imposible to get scabies from a hotel in the first place but 100% impossible to wake up with them the next day. If it was the first time having scabies, it takes weeks for them to manifest. Even If you have had scabbies before, it would still take 3-4 days for you to show symptoms. Not to be crass but the hotel owner probably wouldn't be rude enough to inform you, and your doctor neglected to, the most common method of transmital is sexual in nature.
They are widley considered an STD. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you may have a bigger issue at hand than the scabbies. Sure hope your husband doesn't read this. Same way I hope potential guest of this establishment didn't read this before ther were replys by people with common sense.

It appears the place was responsible in calling an exterminator who told them that scabies is transmitted by personal contact.
I feel sorry for you, scabies is a miserable condition. However, you did not get it from this establishment.

Scabies take much longer than 24 hours to manifest. There's no way you got them from the hotel and showed symptoms the next day. It simply isn't possible:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scabies
" The disease may be transmitted from objects but is most often transmitted by direct skin-to-skin contact, with a higher risk with prolonged contact. Initial infections require four to six weeks to become symptomatic."
You came in contact with the scabies long before this hotel trip.
also:
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/scabies/DS00451/DSECTION=causes
" The eight-legged mite that causes scabies in humans is microscopic. The female mite burrows just beneath your skin and produces a tunnel in which it deposits eggs. The eggs mature in 21 days, and the new mites work their way to the surface of your skin, where they mature and can spread to other areas of your skin or to the skin of other people. The itching of scabies results from your body's allergic reaction to the mites, their eggs and their waste. "
