"The dog species of sarcoptic mange can TEMPORARILY infect humans. Usually
the itchiness from this lasts about three weeks, or less. The mite can't
live in humans, so it dies. If the dog remains in the household and remains
infected it can continue to give its owners new mites, though -- so the
itching can last longer because there is a constant new supply of mites.
Cortisones are sometimes used to reduce the inflammation and itchiness. It
is not necessary to kill the mites because the are going to die, anyway.
