A practitioner took a scab from someone with a mild case, made an incision in the skin of a healthy person, and infected that person with the scab. Sheep-scab is a loathsome skin disease due to an acarian parasite.
I did find this link, but I don't think it will help out much, because there is nothing on the internet about it, other than this. http://en.allexperts.com/q/Wild-Animals-705/frozen-crab-life-thawed.htm. Or you can go to this link. Its about frozen lobsters coming back to life after thawed.
The best way to keep your lobsters alive for up to 24 hours is to store them in a lose paper bag with damp newspaper or in the shipping container in the coldest part of the refrigerator (usually the lowest shelf at the back or in the meat keeper) Donât even think about the freezer!
