I am in the same siutatution and feel the same as you. I don't know what to do either :(Replied by Scabiekiller (Ventura, Ca) on 07/04/2012
CLOVE OIL is like kryptonite to these little suckers. I mix grape seed oil and clove oil and lather it all over. Its works best if you massage it deep into the tissues. Be careful on how much you mix cause the clove oil is strong and can burn you, but it's still not as bad as the itching. I'm even adding a clove oil to laundry (with a 1/2 cup of Borax, also) to make sure the eggs and larve are dead. I make sure and disinfect my hands and arms with the clove mixture before I fold the laundry to make sure any bugs that might have been under my nails are dead. I spread DE all over the house and our belongings and have actually started ingesting it as a supplement and feel great. It detoxes you. Vacuum often and spread DE EVERYWHERE, especially your mattress and pillows. It's non-toxic and actually one of the most beneficial minerals for your health. Massage (deap massage) the clove mixture before getting in the shower and don't be scared when you see the little buggers scurry out from under your skin. They instantly die! Wash off after about 15-30 min. later and reapply as a moisturizer and bug killer often. Especially when you itch or feel those crawling sensations. Spray down shower with 50/50 bleach and water mixture after you're done showering and take your clothes IMMEDIATELY to the laundry (put them in a plastic bag as soon as you take them off). I add a little clove oil and Borax to the detergent and I add a little DE to the dryer. Wash and dry on HOT only! Keep doing this even after it seems they have been killed. The eggs can survive for awhile without a host. Hope you feel better soon! I do and it's only been 2 days since my regiment. As long as I have clove oil, I'm winning.Replied by Pat (Montreal, Quebec) on 12/07/2012
There are two types of mange.
For Sarcoptic Mange, use 1 part of ORGANIC neem oil with 9 parts of almond oil and put on affected areas after a bath with teatree oil. Do this, every evening or every three days, or once a week depending on the severity of the case. Be careful with the Eyes and any mucous membrans!
For all the Other type of Mange: Mix 1 spoon of Borax (never use boric acid!!!) with 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide 3% (in severe cases), or a cup of water and hydrogen peroxide for milder cases (mix 3 parts of water with 1 part of hydrogen peroxide so to have hydrogen peroxide at 1%), and apply directly on the skin with a cotton. Be careful with the Eyes and any mucous membrans!
These are the best natural options. Always work, but you need to be consistent!!! I have tried all with my little dog. These are the BEST. Just be sure to use the right method for the specific type of mange as described.

Use ion silver cream, or ion silver powder for info; go to the Bob Beck protocol. Garlic is a good insect killer and might be doing a good thing as well. Thank you for sending this message around dear scabie-fighters, we're fighting this disaster together much love.
And hopefully science will pick up on this and integrate this method as it is an overal good medicine. For more information, feel free and welcome, follow me on face book ~ Luis Jane
