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.
Thaw whole frozen lobster in brine in the same manner allowing three to five hours per package for thawing. Frozen whole lobster should be separated and placed on a tray in the refrigerator. Do not thaw frozen lobster meat in warm water or at room temperature. This causes quality loss and drip loss. If you wish to thaw small packs in a hurry, they can be set under cold running water. Always remember that frozen lobster products are not shelf stable unless frozen.
