The text is separate and located in the right half, in black, set against as grey background. image: a depiction of the mite that causes scabies. The silhouette of a soldier is superimposed on the mite's body. text: A. GAMES IF YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM SCABIES Scabies is caused by a small insect which burrows into the skin. This insect can pass from person to person. The burrowing of the insect in the skin usually causes itching. If you have been on leave, either you may have infected someone at home, or, possibly, someone at home may have infected you. Scabies can cause much suffering to children and babies: If you have been on leave during the past six weeks, you should write home at once and ask if anyone at home has noticed any spots on their body or limbs, perhaps associated with itching. If anyone at home has these symptoms, they should go to the doctor, or, if they have no doctor, to the hospital for Treatment. In civilian life treatment can usually be given without loss of working hours. If they are in any difficulty at home about where to go, the Medical Officer of Health, in any large town, or the County Medical Officer, if they live in the country, will give them all the information they require, without charge.
