It says right at the top to NOT USE LINDANE VICTOR!! DANGER DANGER

I have six people in my house. My husbands sister lives in the basement appartment with her father and she brought it home to us. after about two weeks we all are in terrible pain. My two girls are 5 and 2 and they cant do any dramatic treatments but the doctors haven’t helped. please help us. if you have any idea of how to help children and clean my house with non toxic cleaners let me know.

Please help my 3yr old son was diagnosed with scabbies last week at the time he had only a few spots on his inner thigh now a week later he has them all over him body ,face everywhere ive judt the creams the doc gave me and they havnt worked can anyone suggest anything that i might be able to try thank you

ok wel i have had scabies for like 3 months and i have tryed lice killer and scabie cream and nothing is working i really need help its on me havds my whole chest and stomach and my legs it like it keeps spreading no matter what i use i need help asap i cant even sleep from the itching ugh,,,, im beging to get hopless please help me!

I used Nix over the counter. One pharmacy I called said nothing over-the-counter would work, but I was desperate. I was so grossed out by the yuck of bugs eating me…

Nix works! I used it every day for three days, which is not what the label says (it says two treatments a week apart) but I couldn’t stand the thought of waiting to see if it was working. Within two days, I could tell it was working because there was no spread. The existing sites still itched insanely but I was able to bear it knowing it was working. Now nine days later, they’re completely gone. TRY NIX!

I was absolutely desperate, so I have been treating these things with nothing but IcyHot for about 5 days now and they are almost all gone! No more extremely sore patches from them digging in either. If I knew it was this easy I’d have done it months ago. It is unbelievable the misery they cause.

Here is what does not work.

Tea Tree Oil, or any of the usual herbals. I have not tried Pine Oil, or PennyRoyal, or Oregano, but did try Citronella oil, Pepper (which is the source of the insecticide Piperine), Tea Tree oil, Goldenseal, MSM, Clove oil and Neem. While there was relief from itching and there was peeling, the redness persisted. Thyme oil, Chapparal, topical vinegar, Citronella and Camphor is supposed to work. I think the camphor is the key, as any insecticide remedy I have seen include camphor in it. It is the phenols in thymol and other herbs that the insects do not seem to like.

What did/does work:

25% precipitated sulfur in vaseline. Simply mix one tablespoon of dry sulfur with 3 tablespoons of vaseline. You get a yellow custard like paste. It smells like brimstone, but does not burn. Don’t get it in your eyes, as it will cause tearing. Leave it on for three days. Reapply often. Change clothes every day with newly laundered clothes, laundering your old ones that day. Every day launder your bed sheets as well. Handle old clothes with sulfur/vaseline on hands. After three days, take a bath with borax and baking soda in the water. Put sodium carbonate (baking soda) and borax in your wash every day. Wash on hot twice, and dry on hot twice. Put everything that cannot be water washed in a plastic bag with a dust of diatomaceous earth, boric acid, and talc and pack it garbage bags with 40 moth balls. Leave for two weeks. Take the clothes, bags etc out, vacuum them, and send them to dry cleaning. Wear throw away plastic gloves and use the sulfure and vaseline on hands. Avoid most contact with uncleaned clothes. Dust furniture with boric acid, diatomaceous earth and talc and leave for three days, then vacuum carefully and steam clean. While vacuuming or dusting, wear a 3M cotton dusk mask. Diatomaceous earth is a fine silica powder and it is really no good for the lungs. Boric acid is poisonous to ingest. 6 grams could kill you. Don’t put it in a steamer, or steam or iron until it is vacuumed completely. It might be a good idea to ventilate well while cleaning. There is no guarantee that spraying furniture with permethrin and pyperonil for mites will do a complete job as you have to get it on the insect. The powder will, as the insect will eventually get into it. Children should not get powders on them. For that matter they should not get permethrins on them either. As far as lindane goes, I have seen dogs that had to be put down because they got too much on them. They lick their fur and if you wash them with lindane, they will get brain deterioration. If you have kids, then they should stay elsewhere while this powder disinfecting is going on. To disinfect children’s bedding, it would be advisable to clean it with a steam cleaner with borax and baking soda in the steamer. If it can be afforded, chuck the stuff, as that is way more sure. Clean all surfaces that may stand it with 1 gallon of hot water with one cup of javex bleach added. Borax and baking soda washing water will do for sensitive surfaces. It is not a bad idea to bathe in water with about 6 caps of bleach added. Nurses have noted that this seems to help. No worse than a swimming pool. Protect your eyes. Once the house is more or less disinfested, and in about one week, do the sulfur body treatment again for three days.

well it all started with my sister catching scabies and well needless to say it was very contangious i got it my mom and dad also! well we use this cream for 14 days it should go away but i am still itching anyone help!
