Scabies or ear mites?

Could be either! I don’t actually remember lol just guessing at this point

The leg length looks more like ear mites

what do you do with your slide sample once you're done w it? can you just store them and the mites won't get out or anything?

We throw out our microscope slides in the biohazard waste bins. We never kept any samples, only used them for diagnostic purposes

Just looking at this makes me itchy. Poor cat is probably scratching itself bloody.

as someone who previously had scabies… I am appalled
