Full question:
I have recieved Scabies from work, and need to know, can I bill them for having to wash all my clothes, blankets and fabric materials? I was not told that the costume I would be wearing had scabies, and then when I reported it, they just turned the other way, and said sorry. Then left. I can't afford to have everything cleaned, and that is the only way I can get rid of the scabies is by treating myself after all my laundry and fabric items are cleaned.

Answer:
To succeed in a negligence lawsuit, you must show that your employer owed you a duty of care, that they breached this duty, and that this breach caused your injury. In your case, you would need to prove that the scabies infestation did not arise from other sources and that proper care could have prevented it.
