Did I say scabies? I meant scurvy. That whole thing about Krauts and Limeys was a piece of pointless trivia about scurvy. The only piece of pointless trivia I know about scabies is that it was common amongst pirates in the 18 Century (as were a variety of other mites, lice and similar communicable critters). But that's not really that special - they were common amongst a lot of sailors of the period, pirate or otherwise.
So, yeah, my apologies to the class of Pharmacy students to whom I told a piece of trivial information that was not only useless, but also incorrect.
