Hello Tebora, how are you doing? I see you haven't posted regarding this for awhile, but I just wanted to add my two cents.

In his book Olive Leaf Extract: Nature's Antiobiotic, Dr. Morton Walker includes an extensive list of conditions he believed OLE could be useful for, and scabies is on that list. He described Olive Leaf Extract as something that works from the inside out rather than on the skin. When you take OLE, the active compounds circulate in your bloodstream, and because lice and scabies mites bite and feed on blood, he believed they end up ingesting those compounds. In his view, OLE interferes with the parasite's ability to make essential proteins and neutralizes enzymes they need to feed and reproduce, basically turning your blood into a “bad meal” for them while remaining harmless to you. He also wrote that OLE boosts immune activity, which doesn't kill lice or mites directly but can help the skin heal and reduce irritation. This is how he described its effects, even though it isn't part of standard medical treatment.

I've had anecdotal success with OLE for head lice, which is also on his list. I was exposed to head lice repeatedly over several years — real head‑to‑head contact because it involved children and hugs — and during that time, the only time I actually got lice was when I stopped taking OLE. My husband and I had been taking one capsule daily for general immune support. When I stopped, I got lice; when I resumed the OLE, the problem resolved quickly. I used Denorex Therapeutic shampoo, changed pillowcases, and that was it. The only combing I did was with a regular comb after showering. Within a day of resuming OLE, the issue was gone. I believe I took four capsules the first day to get it back into my system.

Years later, when I worked in a nursing home and a patient came in with scabies, the administration offered Ivermectin to employees who wanted proactive protection. I never got scabies, and I didn't hear of anyone else getting it either.
