Notes: Don't worry, I'm not about to run to the drugstore for some Lindane. I was only just reading a Spanish novel where I came across the word sarna. Surprised to find an ailment with such a technical name in English going under such radically different form, I decided to look at other languages and, lo, only one overlap in the bunch!

Remarkably, sarna is quite a popular word... One of our most used phrases here is "Sarna con gusto, no pica".

I used to have problems to distinguish scabies from crab louses. Until I got the second quite a few times (consequences of being a hairy man).
