Proof that living in dorms is like living in a petri dish: scabies outbreak!

This weekend, three Pennypacker freshmen were diagnosed with scabies, an itching disease that is caused by that nasty thing above burrowing into your skin and then laying eggs.

The university responded by providing freshman with a scabies-fighting cream that must remain on rubbed all over one's body for at least eight hours. Pleasant.

Additionally, freshmen were also encouraged to do laundry. Maybe they should also be prodded to shower more, yes?
