Question 1

CAN I PUT THIS ON MY SKIN TO KILL SCABIES

Accepted Answer

This is not for use on skin. Try Kleen free which is a natural enzyme cleaner. Really helped, and with buying the concentrate, it's very affordable. Something that seems hard to find when dealing with scabies. We also found hibiclens really helped. We applied it like body lotion from the chin down and just left it on until our daily showers, washed our hair with it, and then reapplied. We really noticed a difference after just 3 days. It's not cheap, but also not insanely expensive. It will not form suds. Suds are produced by adding unnecessary ingredients to products. The product ingredients do the work, not the suds. Anyway, we applied the hibiclens with a regular old spray bottle. Just a very light film was all we used, so a 32 ounce bottle actually lasted quite awhile. Much longer than we expected. It is pink. It cannot be added to wash because it could stain. That's where this product is your go to. It kills mites in the wash. We had no problems with staining from the hibiclens after it dried.Hibiclens does not say it is for scabies. It's a hospital grade hand cleanser with residual benefits. Always do a test spot and proceed with caution. Especially when dealing with children. Our treatment of using this product in the wash (of course all bedding and anything else that touches the skin must be changed and sanitized every day). Nobody ever mentions what they treated their hair with, and those evil little mites love hiding there. We used the hibiclens, using the spray bottle again for short hair, and a basic syringe to apply a small even amount directly to the scalp in stripes, then rubbed it around for very long, fine hair. We left the ends of the long hair alone as the solution rinsed thru it anyway. Applied hibiclens to our skin right out of the shower, and carried around a little sprayer of the Kleen free enzyme cleaner to spray on itching patches throughout the day, right over the hibiclens. All of us in the family, whether diagnosed with scabies or no followed the same treatment routine. We treated early with the first signs (went to the doctor immediately instead of using a wait, see, and pray it's not scabies mindset because the earlier they're caught, the less tunneling and number of mites are available to make you miserable). They are extremely contagious, so we figured why wait and pass these back and forth, we treated aggressively. Everyone. So far, it's been 2 months since anyone had any symptoms, so we think we're done. It's easy to get tired or distracted, and skip a step, or a day of sanitizing everything. It's a lot of work, while being driven to the edge by constant, terrible itching. It makes it impossible to get a full nights sleep, so you're barely functioning plus adding a whole new time consuming routine to your day, but it only takes one day to be back at square one. That means all of your previous hard work and money have been wasted. We went at it with an attitude of 'this needs to be treated like we've all become diabetics, and skipping steps or putting in half an effort could have severe long term consequences', so we would stick it out and be grateful that we could be cured. Sanitizing your bedding and clothing with this is a must. We found our super energy efficient washer and dryer didn't get hot enough to kill the bugs. Adding this to your wash from day one will eliminate any chance of the mites surviving on your clothes. Don't overlook furniture and carpets. If you touch it, it has mites (but again, do test spots so you don't ruin anything). That includes blankets, pillows, comforters, hats, mittens, scarfs, and so on. Get mistress and pillow covers that specify they keep mites and bedbugs out. Not just covers to keep allergens out, and make sure they have sealed zippers, or you will be buying new mattresses. You can then infect the new mattresses. The better mattress and pillow covers cost a little more, but far, far less than new mattresses. Remember to wipe them down with a product that not only disinfection, but also has insecticidal properties, and attack the scabies mites on all fronts. Please respect others and don't spread them to your co-workers. Ideally stay home, but if that isn't an option, either come clean about what you've got and warn others, or if honesty isn't the best policy, pick something contagious and tell people around you, that you've been exposed and are trying to protect them from catching it. Like pink eye. It could be in the family but you're not currently showing symptoms. It should keep everyone a step away. Don't forget to clean everything you touch at work too. When you're finally free of scabies, post what worked and what didn't. Recommend products like this, because if you help one person cut their misery short by posting a positive product review, your endless itching wasn't in vain. Good luck.
