[|Human|] My husband s dog got infected with ear mites. was treated by 2 different veterinarians, was prescribed a cream to be applied in her ears and the fur around them, plus disinfectant soap to bathe her with. We are reasonably confident she is now free of the mites,but my husband is continuing with the treatment. The problem is that my husband is convinced he has them now on his body. He itches, specially at night. So he has been scrubbing his body with alcohol ( I do his back). I wonder if he really is infected with his dog s mites, or maybe is something else. His discomfort started soon after his dog was diagnosed. I do hope you will have some suggestion as to what to do or what kind of specialist he would need to consult. Thank you for whatever help you can give us. YYYY@YYYY
[|AI|]  Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. Yes, it can be possible to spread to Human. Some species of mites can spread to humans from dogs. So you must examine the area of itching very closely. If you find some burrow or mite attached to the skin, then your diagnosis can be confirmed. If the diagnosis is confirm you can use ivermectin tablet and gamma BHC solution under your doctors' guidance. Till that time you can use cetirizine for itching. You can also apply calamine lotion for maintaining moisture. Maintenance of hygiene plays very important role in clearing the infections. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.  Thank you. ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist.
