Mange

Mange /ˈmn/ is a class of skin diseases caused by parasitic mites. Since mites also infect plants, birds, and reptiles, the term "mange", suggesting poor condition of the hairy coat due to the infection, is sometimes reserved only for pathological mite-infestation of nonhuman mammals. Thus, mange includes mite-associated skin disease in domestic animals (cats and dogs), in livestock (such as sheep scab), and in wild animals (for example, coyotes, cougars, and bears). Since mites belong to the arachnid subclass Acari (also called Acarina), another term for mite infestation is acariasis.

Parasitic mites that cause mange in mammals embed themselves either in skin or hair follicles in the animal, depending upon their genus. Sarcoptes spp. burrow into skin, while Demodex spp. live in follicles.

In humans, these two types of mite infections, which would otherwise be known as "mange" in furry mammals, are instead known respectively as scabies and demodicosis.

by: Failure

found a dog downstairs
locked him with the bikes
cried till he went hoarse
scratched the door to shreds
did no one tell you how
she'd leave you in this town
with her dog trapped downstairs
He'll die with no one there
locked the dog back in
turned the heater on
smelled the sour milk
felt the floor above
did no one tell you how
she'd leave you in this town
with her dog trapped downstairs
he'll die with no one there
crawl cause you can't limp
howl cause you can't speak
leave cause you don't care
run let the dog die
found the note upstairs
torn up in the trash
said she'd flown to Spain
special one-time fare
left with some old friend
always just a friend
crawl cause you can't limp
howl cause you can't speak
leave cause you don't care
run let the dog die
did no one tell you how
she'd leave you in this town
with her dog trapped downstairs
He'll die with no one there
crawl cause you can't limp
howl cause you can't speak
leave cause you don't care
