I was in contact with a colleague a little over 3 weeks ago. Today she has been diagnosed with scabies. Should I treat myself?

It is not necessary to treat yourself for scabies unless you develop symptoms. The chances of contracting scabies from a colleague you were in contact with over three weeks ago are very low. If you do experience symptoms, treatment is available with a prescription or over-the-counter option like Nix.
