Guest guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 My sister seems to have picked up a resistant form of Scabies from a hotel room. She has tried taking Ivermectin and using Permethrin cream, but the darn bugs keep coming back. It has been very traumatic--the whole story is too long to post. I wondered about using DMSO with something like Neem, or perhaps some kind of bath. Any suggestions? Apparently this is becoming more common--makes me itch just to think of it!

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 I caught them one time, once over with Scabiol and they were gone, but no idea what is in that.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Mara, this is Obie, saying that I had a case of Scabies last year; worst experience of my life. I came to learn that Scabies are little bugs which are lipid dissolvable, that the secret is not drugs, but soap blended with water and a little added food grade alcohol. They will dissolve quick enough. If she'll put her solution into a garden spray bottle, a big one, she'll have enough to complete the job. She should wash all clothing and linens each day, open her bed and generously spray the top and bottom sheets, leave it open to dry, spray the seats she sits in, including the autos and they will leave. And she should spay herself and rub it in. They will die, she will survive. Obie. ___________________________________________________________________ My sister seems to have picked up a resistant form of Scabies from a hotel room.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Have read where DE is preventative (used for livestock) but not for infestation. I would use Happy Jack mange soap/shampoo. Works for killing chiggers. Hot brine bath would do it too. Re: Scabies My sister seems to have picked up a resistant form of Scabies from a hotel room.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Oh, thankyou, Obie. I haven't had such a good laugh in days! And I missed the typo till you mentioned it. It's cracking me up!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 How about Tea Tree Oil, with or without the DMSO R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I've had them twice; first time picked up from trying shorts on at store, second from buying the right sized shorts then taking them home and rinsing them only in the washer (no soap) and then drying them, and that turned out not to be enough to kill them. Considering that second experience, Obie's cure makes a lot of sense. Depending on the area of the body infected you may choose soap/alcohol solution or DE. Diatomaceous earth will kill them, but food grade DE makes a muddy mess if you sweat. Swimming Pool Grade DE will kill them and is comfortable against the skin and won't turn to mud. DMSO and some otherwise therapeutic oils did not stop them for me and only made me more irritated. It helps to understand what they do and how they live and reproduce. The females burrow into the skin making them hard to kill. They lay eggs in the burrows. When the eggs hatch the new females make for a new burrow but the males crawl all over the place looking for females to mate with. When the eggs hatch the egg detritus stays in your skin and makes toxins adding to your misery. If you keep up the pressure with DE it will kill all crawling mites and you will break the reproductive cycle. But the itch can last 3 more weeks after the death of the population because all detritus- eggs and dead mites- must break down. It is misery. I never found an itch reliever that helped but that's not to say their isn't something. I now keep a box of pool grade DE on hand. There have been a few suspicious itches since. I keep a small container of PGDE in the bathroom. At the first crawly itch I'll use it and it works quick. DaddyBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I just had another case of these critters the last 2 weeks. I tried neem seed oil, DE by itself but the results are slow and with the rubbing between the legs at work it wouldn't take long for it to be gone and I'd have to reapply or suffer. I found a good remedy that works for me. If you're not allergic to sulfur, then try the De La Cruz brand of Sulfur Ointment 10%. You can find it in the Hispanic food section at most Walmart stores for just under $5.00. They also have a sulfur bar soap from the same maker for around $1.00. I noticed immediate results and just 3 days later they're almost gone. I, too, use food grade DE to " dust " my underwear, pant legs and house. Seems they come around this time of year and show no mercy. Hope this helps your situation safely and quickly. yHave a great day!  Subject: Re: Scabies To: DimethylSulfoxide-DMSO Date: Sunday, January 10, 2010, 7:06 AM  I've had them twice; first time picked up from trying shorts on at store, second from buying the right sized shorts then taking them home and rinsing them only in the washer (no soap) and then drying them, and that turned out not to be enough to kill them.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Thanks everyone for your Scabies suggestions. I am passing them along to my sister--might even try a few myself just to be proactive-- I'm really getting a little paranoid about this having watched what my sister is going through. A couple of you suggested sulpher treatments. Is it hard on the skin to use these--any downsides? This group is the BEST!! I can always count on it for great information.
