Ear mites are a common disease in animals and are not usually contagious to humans. Ear mites, also known as ear scabies, are highly contagious between cats and dogs through close contact, mostly in the ear canal, and in rare cases on the head, neck and tail. It is not shared by humans or animals, so it is generally not contagious to humans. However, a very small number of people who come into contact with pets suffering from ear mites experience redness and itching of the skin, which is considered to be a high possibility of allergy, although it is extremely unlikely that people will develop symptoms due to ear mites in their pets. Therefore, if your pet has ear mites, it is important that you seek prompt treatment and reduce contact with your pet during this period. If the patient has ear mites, the patient needs to go to the otorhinolaryngology department for a thorough cleaning of the external ear canal, and the doctor will give targeted treatment.
