The Inhabited man

A talking flea makes a young man aware that he has scabies though he could have countless other organisms living on his body. Anxious, the young man visits a doctor who explains to him that whilst complete prevention is not yet possible, sound personal hygiene can cut down on the incidence of scabies.
