~ A microscopic mite causes the type of scabies that develops in humans.
~ Without the help of a magnifying glass, sighting these pests is impossible.
~ It is the female mite that burrows into the skin and creates a tunnel where she may lay eggs, which take 21 days to mature.
~ After the eggs hatch, the mites continue to spread about the surface of the skin, where people respond to their presence, additional eggs, and waste through allergic reactions.
LAUNDRY SOLUTIONS
place it in a bag and tie shut keep in the bag for 2 weeks they will die from not having a host body
The following is not for the squeamish:
As these bugs/eggs start coming up out of the skin, these little volcano looking sores develop. When they become hardened they will fester into a little scab of sorts. Some will have a black dot. Some will have an orange looking small scab. These will eventually drop off. I guess these are the bugs, eggs working up out of the skin. These may be still itchy but heed the warning! these can be very sore to the touch and if you are scratching and ‘catch’ a scab with a fingernail and pull it off, you will not like it very much but be sure to continue with the peroxide spray as that is what helped the most with clearing up my sores. If the sores are getting harder and flatter you are winning! Be aware of any clear or red blisters as these may be new infestations. If they are not scabbing, keep neeming.
Diagnosis
The diagnosis of scabies comes when a doctor takes a look at the skin and scans for signs of mites. He or she will seatch for the characteristic burrows that come with the condition. If a mite burrow is found, the doctor may scrape the region for further analysis under a microscope. This type of examination will alert a patient as to whether or not they are plagued with the presence of mites or their eggs.
It is important to clean all clothes and linen associated with an infected person.
This process should occur before treatment using hot, soapy water on all clothing, towels, sheets, comforters, and pillowcases.
-BORAX with every load of laundry, HOT WATER ONLY!
-NEVER wear anything twice.
-Buy real tea tree oil(100% organic) not the pharm one, orange oil,peppermint oil, witch hazel, and Neem shampoo.. via health food store, or GNC.
-Put 15 drops of each into an unused spray bottle, with warm water,and 1 cup of witch hazel. i used this spray on everything ie, linens, clothes, shoes, sheets, pillows.
-High heat pillows in dryer for 45 min. ALL CLOTHES BONE DRY!
-I had bedding spray with permitherin in it, which i sprayed on everything before showering, and keep fans out, and AC on high, which is easy when you live in south FL.( BEWARE OF SPRAYING THE PERMITHERIN SPRAY WITH ANIMALS IN HOME!)
- Shower 2-3 times a day! & apply this oil concoction to effected areas every night and morning:
Purell sanitizer with aleo on body, air dry. I used a clean paper towel, fold it in fours apply 5-10 drops of all oils onto it, and wet with witch hazel, and apply to effected areas. Sleep with little or
no clothes on.(helps with smaller loads of laundry)
-Before Bath i shaved ALL of my BODY HAIR..
-3-4 times a week take a bath with: 1/2 bottle of hydrogen peroxide, 20 dropps of each oil, 1 cup of witch hazel, and 2 cups of LISTERINE CITRIS MOUTHWASH. My baths were always piping hot. Warning: IF YOU HAVE DRY, SENSITIVE, OR OPEN LESIONS ON YOUR SKIN BE CAREFUL!!
(AFTER my first bath with formula the ithcing dissapeared completely, and the effected areas were 80% clear!)
-Never use a bath towel more than once!
-Disinfect all areas in home with clorox wipes, lysol, and the spray bottle concoction.
-CHANGE BED LINENS Evert single MORNING! STRAIGHT INTO A PLASTIC BAG & STRAIGHT INTO WASHING MACHINE!
-Apple cider vinegar 3 tbsp 2 times a day, decrease simple carbs, and SUGAR! THESE GUYS FEED ON SUGAR!
- i was taking vit c 500mg once a day along with multivitamins. Substitute all fruit juices for water, and limit sugary fruits.
the skins from 12 or more brown onions, boiled in 1 liter of water for 2o minutes or so,then apply the liquid after cooling, all over your body. and don’t forget your hair. do this daily, or more often, for 2 weeks, to get rid of the mites as they freshly hatch. Of couse, you also need to take care of bedding clothes, etc.
For more sure cure use the onion, plus a lotion made from tea tree oil, coconut oil, neem oil, sulfer, margosa oil (if you can get it), eucalyptis oil, wormwood, lavender oil, tumeric, black walnut oil,
olive oil.
you might use the onion extract in the lotion, but I’m not sure, if it will mix well with the oils because of the soluble factor
"Treatments that Don't Work:
I will tell you right now that Jergens doesn’t work PERIOD. If it worked for your skin condition, you probably just had dry skin.
prescriptions don’t work(most scabies are now resistant to permethrin)and they mess up your skin. I ended up using THREE TUBES of peremthrin and it still didnt go aways.
Treatments that DO work
EAT RAW GARLIC
eat alot of raw Garlic
NEEM OIL
I had scabies a few months ago, and I got rid of it with Neem Oil.
And in between take Neem baths.
The Neem oil is a natural contraceptive, in other words the scabies cannot reproduce. So eventually they just die off. It will take about a month for them to finally die off, but it works.
And for your house i recommend Rid spray (make sure it has permethrin .50%) and spray it on EVERYTHING. You can also take neem oil put a few drops in a spray bottle and spray it on rugs couches ect.
Keep in mind that these scabies pop up to mate every 3/5 days so you need to have a defense ready for them when they dig out. I do not think it kills them below the skin.
CACAO NIBS?
I have gotten rid of this by eating relatively large quantities of raw organic cacao nibs. I was eating cacao because it gives you energy and for me it’s a very effective appetite suppressant, as well as being extremely healthy. I had scabies and was not trying too hard to get rid of it, since I was living alone and the rash didn’t bother me much. Within a few weeks, and not quite a pound of raw organic cacao nibs later, it just cleared up entirely.

To be more specific, if it helps, I would usually eat a couple small handfuls on an empty stomach. It’s a fatty food, so after that you don’t really even feel hungry.
I bought 2 empty spray bottles. I filled one with 3% hydrogen peroxide (full strength) the other with household ammonia (full strength) the ammonia idea came from a friend with morgellons disease which ammonia is claimed to relieve itching.
Here is the daily ritual: First thing, jump in shower (yes naked lol) and spray everywhere that may be affected with the hydrogen peroxide. This is going to light you UP!!! I warned you it can hurt. This pain will last awhile (more like an intense itching) but as you get better it will sting less and less. This will help to prevent secondary skin infections. (it doesn’t seem to be painful to spray in the genital areas for some reason although I was expecting that, I guess without any infestation there, I was spared the pain)
If it gets too much to bear, the ammonia will shut down the burning. How? I don’t have a clue but it also works during the day/night to relieve itching and the relief lasts longer than anything else. It can’t be good to spray these things on your skin so use your own judgement and certainly do not inhale the spray!! Use the ammonia any time the itching gets unbearable during the day/night. It will lite you up a bit on it’s own if you have open sores/ scratches so just be aware!
Do the same thing at night but apply the neem (full strength) to all affected areas after the spray. If you have the opportunity to leave this neem on for a day or two, it will help even more. Unfortunately, you will need to wash this off to go out in public since it is a VERY STRONG odor. Keep in mind that these scabies pop up to mate every 3/5 days so you need to have a defense ready for them when they dig out. I do not think it kills them below the skin. I believe it may get a few that way but mostly it prevents them from reproducing somehow. Keep in mind: anything you wash in the washer with a ‘neemed’ article of clothing with smell like neem a bit too. It probably kills the scabies in all the clothes at the same time. It will stay in your skin a bit too. Even after washing your skin, you may detect a bit of that neem odor but I feel it continues to work a little that way.
