Mange in humans often happens when they touch an infected pet or handle its belongings. Sometimes, it can be passed on in crowded or unsanitary environments. Additionally, people with certain health conditions that affect the skin's defense mechanisms might be more prone to getting mange.
Humans can get mange by coming into direct physical contact with an animal that has the mite causing mange. It can also occur if you use contaminated items like bedding or grooming tools of an infected animal. Poor hygiene and a weakened immune system might increase the risk.
Mange in humans is usually contracted through close contact with infected animals, especially dogs or cats.
