EVERY DAY CHANGE EVERY PIECE OF CLOTHING AND BEDDING THAT TOUCHES THE SKIN. ALTERNATE SHOES, COATS ETC. BEST TO LEAVE LAUNDRY BAGGED FOR 2 WEEKS THEN WASH & DRY NORMALLY
OR DRY LAUNDRY ON HIGH HEAT IF YOU DON'T WAIT 2 WEEKS.
DAY 1, 2, 3 Use sulfur cream head to toe on dry skin each day without showering or bathing in between treatments. Suggested time: before bed allowing 1 hour to soak into the skin
DAY 4, 5, 6 Don't use cream. You may bathe & shower, suggested to simply use water and allow the absorbed sulfur to continue to kill the scabies.
DAY 7, 8, 9 Use sulfur cream head to toe on dry skin each day without showering or bathing in between treatments. Suggested time: before bed allowing 1 hour to soak into the skin.
NEXT 2 WEEKS Continue salt baths (20 mins hot not scalding water with 1.5 cups epsom salts, 1/2+ cups sea salt), showers and use of neem-citrus and carbolic soaps. Moisturize skin with cocoa-essential oil bars at least once per day according to your comfort. Best to continue laundry and changing sheets routines.
NEVER THROW AWAY INFECTED CLOTHING OR BEDDING WITHOUT BAGGING AND CLEARLY MARKING ON THE OUTSIDE FOR THE WASTE REMOVAL AND SORTING STAFF "INFECTED WITH SCABIES". BTW the scabies I contracted originated in a couch in a recycling facility. If only the owners had marked it infected, it would have saved 7 people from infection and a dozen from treatments.
Questions and Answers
Q. I would appreciate it if you would expound further about what is going on with the scabbies during a typical night.
A. The scabies are either growing under your skin, or weaving in and out as they do twice in their lives. They do not want to migrate off a live human body. They can however fall off and ALL methods of scabies eradication require you to change the sheets nightly in order to avoid reinfection. Many treatment failures are said to actually be reinfections, for instance from a chair, or shoes, or bedding.
Q. Will I have to keep my entire body, head excluded, covered with the sheet until I arise?
I suggest rolling yourself up in one sheet, head included or changing your pillow case nightly as well as the sheet.
Q. Other than the obvious, what is the purpose of having clean sheets for these bugs?
It is widely know and not disputed that scabies are spread by skin to skin contact as well as through bedding, clothing and other items that touch the skin of the infected person.
Since the bugs do not want to run away from you, sleeping between sheets does not increase your infection, but as you are killing them through treatment, you do not want to reinfect yourself with yesterday's scabies on your unwashed sheets.
Q. Should I assume that whenever I feel a bite that it originates from a scabies mite either inside of my sub skin or on the top surface?
The bugs on top of my head this morning which I quickly applied a mixture of Castor Oil mixed with some Rosemary Essential Oil throughout my head and I noticed that all of the moving around stopped as well as a few dead bugs. I also had discomfort in my left foot and applied the same mixture and oil, the discomfort stopped.
A. You likely felt them weaving in and out of your skin and the ouch was each one burrowing by a nerve. The essential oils likely numbed your skin for a time. The essential oils that directly contacted a mite killed it, or caused it to run away from your body.
Remember this is one reason to change your sheets before bed! There may be runaway live scabies looking to get back in our skin. They can live about 3 days off the skin, more when there is moisture. Drying them out kills them. If you can get a dehumidifier and use it in the rooms you are in this may help.
There is also tremendous itch when the immune system reacts to the waste they leave behind and reacts to the dead bodies left inside your skin as they are pushed out by the body. Alas, the dead ones and waste will continue to emerge from your skin for a time - as short as a few weeks, as long as a few years, but always getting better.
