Imagine lots of sweaty people passing through the same room, day in and day out. Although gym personnel clean the locker rooms a few times a day, it can be in vain. There is only so much that they can do to prevent scabies from spreading. They can’t control who brings them in and what kinds of people come in. The best thing to do is choose a gym that has good cleaning methods. If you don’t have to, don’t sit on the benches and don’t leave your clothes lying around. Being careful goes a long way.
