Scabies in eyelashes and need advice

Posted By Distraughtinfl (Tampa, Fl, Usa) on 05/09/2012

I have it in my eyelashes, nose and ears. I'm planning to use the treatment with the clove oil, orange oil, tea tree, oil, etc. For my hair/scalp and body. But you can't leave that on your eyelashes for a half hour. You can't use bleach there either. What do I do for these areas? That's where the infestation is worst. Please help, I'm desperate.

Try virgin, unrefined, organic Coconut Oil. It's a natural anti-biotic as well as many other things. I'd be surprised if it didn't work and you can leave it on overnight and wake up to beautiful skin and eyelashes!! Use it for the rest of your life - eating 1-2Tbsp every day will also benefit you enormously. Its uses are many and varied. Just remember to get the quality stuff, NOT the deodorised one!!!

Wash and dry your face. Then splash a mixture of apple cider vinegar and borax saturated water on your face (getting your eye lashes good and saturated) and let it dry (be certain it is completely dried before you open your eyes or it will sting). I did this 2-3 times a day and in less than a week the itching stopped (guess the critters were killed off). I don't know if I had scabies, mites or whaterver, but the acv/borax water worked for me.
