Scabiosa gigantea (giant scabious)

What's in a name?

All flowers have a scientific name but many also sport a common name. With the exception of the stinking corpse lily (Rafflesia arnoldii), most of these common names are positive. Thus Helianthus becomes a sunflower and even the lowly Taraxacum officinale is called a dandelion. Now what could be more ego-enhancing that being compared to a well-dressed lion?

Other flowers are more often called by their scientific name. Campanulas may be known as bellflowers but everyone I know calls them campanulas. Similarly, Scabiosa may be called a pincushion plant but most people refer to them as scabiosas.

Scabiosa is a Latin word that refers to the insufferable scabies mite. This tiny human parasite causes unbelievable itching and is usually contracted with prolonged skin-to-skin contact with someone who is already infected (read: In adults it's usually a sexually transmitted disease). Children can also catch scabies from infected clothing and bedding as well as infected cats and dogs (it can cause 'mange' in pets). These days, a doctor will prescribe Kwellada lotion but in ancient times, rubbing the skin with this plant was the only remedy.

I caught scabies when I was nineteen. I was going through a bit of a sexual 'dry spell' at that time and I caught it from someone else's sleeping bag. I went to the doctor, bought a tube of Kwellada lotion, boiled all my bedding and clothing, and the itching was gone in two weeks. I offer this embarrassing confession as a public service announcement. I assure you, @flowerishness will return to less disturbing content tomorrow.

Unbearable Itching? Beware of Scabies!

Have you ever experienced intense itching, especially at night? You may have scabies. Scabies is a skin disease caused by tiny mites that burrow and lay eggs in the skin. In addition to itching, other symptoms that often appear are red rashes, small bumps, and scaly skin.

Why is the itching so bad? These mites release substances that cause an allergic reaction on the skin, causing an unbearable itch.

How is it transmitted? Scabies is highly contagious through direct skin contact with an infected person, sharing clothing or bed linen, or even through sexual contact.

If you experience the above symptoms, immediately consult a doctor to get the right diagnosis and treatment.
