Surf Doc,
What is the treatment for Scabies? How long do you have to wait to use a wetsuit that someone who was infected with Scabies used?

Scabies is treated with a scabicide (a treatment which kills the little varmints!). The popular treatments are lindane lotion, crotamiton, and premethrin.

An infested, yes that is infested, suit should be washed in very hot soapy water, thoroughly rinsed and allowed to dry.
