Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Scabies Lotion Pray that this scourge never visits itself upon your hearth and home! Scabies mites are microscopic creatures that get under your skin and itch like the tortures of hell-fire and damnation on a hot Sunday morning in a hard pew. It ranks right up there with that old curse of "may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits". There is a blessing to be found in the plant kingdom however - elecampane a.k.a scabwort. The following remedy works as well on the dog as on humans. Fortunately (relatively speaking), the scabies mites cannot reproduce in humans or cats, but definitely do so in dogs. It is vital to take your dog to the vet for treatment if you suspect this invasion so that the cycle of reproduction can be stopped. If you see your dog losing fur (notably on the legs and tips of the ears) and harboring an unpleasant 'mousy' odor, take him immediately. It is necessary to launder daily anything the animals have contacted as well as several weeks of daily vacuuming. It is an exhausting situtation, best avoided in any of 100 lifetimes. Take 1 heaping Tbsp of elecampane root and 3 C. of distilled water and place in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and allow to barely simmer, covered, for 20 to 30 minutes or until it is reduced by half. Allow to cool, then strain and place your decoction (lotion) in a spritzer bottle. Spray when and where needed! Since scabies doesn't bother the faces of humans, we can only give a rousing quarter cheer for that blessed little bit of help. Scabies is also known as sarcoptic mange. Suzi What is a weed?
