Scabies infestation reported at several Prince George’s county firehouses

Instead of fighting fires, Prince George’s County, Maryland’s, fire department is fighting an infestation of microscopic mites. Scabies cases have been reported at several fire stations throughout the county.

“Once we were notified of the bites from the mites, we took immediate action,” Prince George’s County Fire/EMS Chief Benjamin Barksdale said

Barksdale said when the situation came to light last week, 205 firefighters were checked for the mite and its telltale rash, and 20 were diagnosed with scabies. The firefighters were assigned to 13 different unidentified fire stations throughout the county.
