"A scabies outbreak is plaguing residents at a halfway house in southwest Albuquerque.So far, 17 women, two children and one parole officer have been infected with scabies at the New Mexico Women\u2019s Recovery Academy. Scabies is a skin condition caused by mites.\"We can't talk to you, we'll get in trouble\" said one of the people who was quarantined.According to the Department of Health, an inspector visited the facility last week.But the skin condition isn't considered a public health risk so the outbreak wasn't reported. The Department of Corrections, which operates the facility through a private contractor, said they immediately began to quarantine some of the residents, and sanitize the building.Employees told Action 7 News they weren't concerned for their health.Neighbors didn't want to go on-camera, but said they were upset that they were never informed of the outbreak -- except through conversations with residents through the fence.The community says it's a little bugged by the outbreak -- one which the Department of Corrections hopes will soon come to an end.\u00A0"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
