My best advice is from an Japanese guy who taught me .He is a Veteran Uber driver in L.A. and it worked for me like an magic.
It's Lemongrass oil.
It smells good and it takes care getting rid of that nasty critters from your body and also kill them at same time.
Put drops of that oils into your shampoo & conditioner too, then put on your palms & rub it all over your body after the shower . Make sure wash your clothes in hot water and put it in hot heat dry. Clean your house, bedding, garage and yes, your car interior too.
Good luck.

Infrared Sauna Blanket: Gradually work up to 1 hour, and gradually increase the temperature. Drink lots of water after use. Do this everyday.
Bio-magnetic Pair Therapy: I noticed a difference almost immediately. I had 7 treatments at 45 minutes per session.
Megadose of Vitamin D3: My daily dose of D3 is 20,000 ui as recommended by Dr. Berg YouTube. I noticed Scabies were disturbed when I took this. (Please note: Scabies parasite are like hornets. When you disturb their nests they fight back and make you feel uncomfortable, itchy. So when you are feeling uncomfortable, or if your skin breaks out, this is a good sign you are winning the war.)
Figs: Are a natural parasitic. I noticed scabies were disturbed when I ate figs regularly. Eat them every day, 1/2 cup cooked or dried.
Avoid Sugar and Excess Meat and Dairy: A healthy immune boasting diet of raw nuts, raw seeds, vegetables and complex carbs.

In summary… -Ivermectin - I was recommend to take 10 days apart, but seemed that 8 days between doses was more effective. - 50/50 solution of boric acid and hydrogen peroxide. I used paper towels (too many unfortunately, but didn't want to re-use a cloth) to wipe over affected areas multiple times/day. Will dry out the skin- but my skin has recovered relatively fast after the mites left. - Sulphur supplement (1000mg 3xday) - Sulphur soap (2xday) - loads of turmeric in my food and as tea - acupuncture helped with inflammation and sleep - little to no processed sugar and minimal ultra processed foods - hot showers or bath (bath with boric acid & hydrogen peroxide was best). - also started using a (homemade) calendula oil with lavender and tea tree oil on my face and hair which my skin loved and seemed to ward off the spread to my face and head. Best of luck to everyone!!

Now, order the 4 pack of Borax on Amazon and go to the dollar store to get the Hydrogen Peroxide.
1.Run a bath as hot as you can stand (they cool off quickly) and boil 2 cups of water to which you slowly add 1 cup of Borax while stirring constantly, then add one cup Peroxide (the 3% normal stuff sold everywhere). Pour this concoction into your hot bath, swirl it around and get in and soak for 30 minutes (don't forget to dip your head into the bath at the end--they are on your scalp and in your hair, too, just like dogs).
2.When done get 1/2 cup Borax and 1/2 cup Peroxide, mix together and apply head to toe while standing in your empty tub (if you have someone to heat your Peroxide before mixing that will make a smooth paste, otherwise the rough Borax may irritate your skin but works just the same).
3. Use a hair dryer to blow dry the concoction on your skin (don't go near water--electrocution risk). Dry hair and put a disposable plastic shower cap over your head to sleep.
4. Put on clean clothes, put your old clothes and used towel/washcloth directly into plastic bag and take to laundry room.
5. If you feel a bite (bites are sharp like a needle piercing your skin, itching is not sharp) get the hair dryer and blow the spot at the highest temp you can take without burning your skin--start close then slowly increase distance away from skin and work back to close again, do this for about 20 seconds. Critters don't like heat and the goal is to kill them before they lay their eggs.
6. Continue baths, post-bath Borax/Peroxide for 1-2 weeks. You should feel better day by day, especially if using the hairdryer trick, too.
Wash all bedding/towels daily (put plastic protectors over your mattress and pillow), all clothing worn daily. Wash in hottest temp and then, if possible, dry in sun before drying in dryer for 30 min. at hottest setting. Let clothing/bedding/towels go unused for 3 days after washing before using again. I have read the critters die after 2-3 days off a person, but I also read where some lived for 18 days! We want them gone!! If you can sleep away from others, even better.
Make a spray of your pet/livestock store 10% permethrin and water in a spray bottle (1 oz. Permethrin to 4 oz. water) and spray everywhere you touch--chairs, sofa, bed (with bedding removed), pillow, area in laundry room where you put your plastic bags with dirty linens, inside dryer, inside washing machine, hairbrush and comb, laundry basket, car seats, steering wheel, arm rest, etc. Vacuum daily all rugs, tile, floors. Sprinkle Borax on all carpets and let sit overnight before vacuuming up the next day (wear a face mask so you don't inhale)-- Do this once. I also sprayed all carpets and floors and furniture with the Permethrin solution but I don't think that's necessary and it makes your house smell toxic--air it out and use fans to blow the smell away. Spray can be applied to furniture and car seats daily. After 2 months of unsuccessful treatments I was willing to try everything. They also tell you to make a skin lotion of Coconut oil (the kind you buy for cooking) and Tea Tree oil (also available on Amazon, use 5 drops per ounce of oil) but this just made a greasy feel and can't say it repelled anything--may make your skin sting from sore spots or if you rubbed the Borax in too hard. Hair dryer trick much better and instant relief. Don't lotion up until baths and post-bath solutions are done--the goal is to change the Ph of your skin and repel them and lotion invites them.
Do the baths, Borax/Peroxide after-bath, Hair dryer, and clean, clean, clean, and you should be good within 2 weeks or less. A dose of Ivermectin doesn't hurt, but at $90 a prescription can't say it helps, either. Dosing yourself in Insecticide (Permethrin) and leaving it on only causes it to create toxic response as it is absorbed into your body and liver (I did this, too) and the Permethrin alone doesn't do the job unless you only have one or two red spots under your watch band, between your fingers, at your waist or under your bra (critters like tight, warm spots to live).
Good luck, you will survive this.

one time I went to the dermatologist and she gave me four rounds of the treatment.
I expected it to help but then the scabies spread to my back, stomach and neck in a very bad way.
I started to use natural remedies _ coconut oil unrefined (cold pressed- this is important aspect! ) and warmed it up with tea tree.
well this also seemed to make it worse, I even tried putting the diatomaceous powder on my skin to suffocate them.
I started to think the scabies must be bad in my house, since I live in a studio apartment. Even though I was cleaning thoroughly it felt that I kept getting reinfected.
Eventually, I went to stay in a community for 10 days, with fresh bed sheets and towels. I just took two bags with fresh clothes that I had washed at 60 degrees.
I took the cold pressed coconut oil with me and a box of Epsom salts (magnesium salt) and a box of regular table salt. Every evening I would take a bath and put Epsom salts in it and have a good soak. My skin would feel very itchy and then I’d rub the skin with regular salt. This stung like crazy but I know it killed the scabies. I would leave the salt to sit on my skin for 15 mins and then wash it off. After the bath I would cover my whole body in coconut oil ( be sure to also have short fingernails) and leave it on overnight. In the morning I would put another round of coconut oil on my skin.
This has really helped.
I am now back home and am almost clear of them. I still use coconut oil every day. I don’t have a bath here but if an area is itchy I rub Epsom salts into the affected area or tea tree which is great for the itch.
I hope this helps you all!!

Hello,
I look at earth clinic about over a year. My problem I have scabies for two years and it won´t go away, whatever I do. The mites are deeper under the skin, you can see nothing on the skin, also light red dots. All medecine or home remidies don´t reach the mites enough. Outside, inside and bath treatments also in combination. (I think it is scabies, because eight family members where also infect, also creams don´t reach, because of the deeper inside of the mites, and a dermatologist (skin doctor) said that that was scabies (I don´t know if he see a mite, or he thinks of the skin reaction). I havn´t this skin reaction but the horrobil feelings (stinging, burning, itching, the same as the other family members). And the first skin defensive is missing by myself, because I got it from a short touch from a family member and from there it spreading over the whole body. Now I have it from toe to scalp and I must have thousend or millions of mites. Ivermectin in sereval times help the other family members, but not me. Some people in the internet tell something about red bird mite. I don´t know. (And it is not a re-infection (all cleaning is done), it don´t go from my body). I lost 30 kg weight and my immune system is going down (blood values, you can see it). And I have often short cold chills.
What I have done outside: Permithrin also 4 weeks, Crotamitex, benzoylbenzoat, malathion, bleech, tiger balm, sulfur cream 20% mixed by myself, coconutoil with clove oil 50/50, other oils with etherial oils (lemmon, oregano, champhor, thymian, tea tree, also combinated), garlic in cream, ballistol oil, peru balsam, sulfur lime, MSM cream, turpentine oil, CDL, DMSO, dermatomic earth, enzym spray (KleenGreen), papain (enzym) spray, castor oil and so on
bath: bleech, CDL, epson salt, sea salt, borax with hydrogen peroxid
what I have done inside: Ivermectin tablets also several times, Flucanonzole several times, another woorm tablets, anorganic sulfur, turpentine oil, CDL, DMSO, oregano oil, garlic, bitter herb teas (Yarrow, nettle, horsetail, birch leaves, sorrel (two tablespoon of each in a big tea pot with hot water 15 minutes to let go and drinking over the day), wormwood extract powder, eat hot (chilli), eat a lot of tumeric, eat ginger, eat no sugar and less carbohydrates, eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, fermental drinks, supplements (vitamin C, vitamin B complex, OPC, Q 10, enzymes, probiotics, propolis, bitter melone capsules, grapefruit capsules, vitamin B 3 with flush, and so on
homeopatic: sulfur C 30, arsenicum album C 200, sepia C 200, kalium sulfur C 200, psorinum C 1000, causticum C 30, natrium muriaticum 1 M, staphesagria C30, apis C 30, azadirachta,
All treatments only reduce the speed of spreading. When I do nothing it is spreading extremly. What I recognize after 1-2 weeks you must change the treatment, because the mites have gotten used to it and adapted.
The sulfur C 30 helps best for 3 days (better then permithrin or ivermectin), then no more, castor oil (when creaming over 5 days the whole day) pulls something out of the skin (3000 or more pimples), but it doesn´t reach to cure, causticum helps that the burning isn´t so much,
I need something for the horrobil stinging pain, I can´t anymore. I`m desperated. Have anybody an idea for the horrobil pain? (I think the mites won´t go away in future) Thanks a lot

***PLEASE*** Let’s get the word out all the Drs, dermatologists, and medical professionals, CDC and Health Dept are covering up creepy eruption scabies epidemic in Florida. I don’t care who you go to for a diagnosis and treatment… they will NEVER do any tests as I increasingly got more horrific symptoms and was told I needed mental help.. I’ve been to 5 drs and 4 dermatologists… they all use the same playbook to take No action and minimize and blame you for your skin condition. They don’t want this infectious disease reported. The CDC has removed it as a reportable infectious disease. So it doesn’t have to be reported at all.
I too recently moved to an apt in Florida and started having worms in my mouth, lips, and eyelids which now are everywhere in my skin and internally. beads falling in my eyes. I
I don’t have a cure.. I’m using DE and Neem and Nac… I switch back and forth with EC remedies. Salt baths help.

Hi there, I wanted to share my experience with people on this website because it helped me. It has been 1 1/2 year that I have been struggling with these mites. Was never diagnosed. I am not healed yet but I think I am getting better.
First time I was able to recover after 1 year of treatment, but I got reinfected. I do not know what I did wrong to get reinfected, probably I just did not kill them all and it started with one pimple, then two, then I got Covid, and within a couple of months I had rashes all over my body again.
First time I used prescription medication heavily. I used a lot of ivermectin because that’s the only thing that helped me. I did 7-9 rounds of that med. I also used permethrin which didn’t help, sulphur, which kinda helped, spinosad, Benzoate etc- they all kinda helped, but again, only thing that really worked was ivermectin. I got ivermectin through the online pharmacy called plush care. My body took it ok but my hair did fall off a bit after this nightmare.
When I got reinfected, I thought that maybe it’s some kind of auto immune rash instead of scabies. So my doctor prescribed me one month of antibiotic doxycycline that only made things worse. Both times when I got infected and reinfected, I had Covid, so I think that made my immune system weak and let them flourish. I am not immune compromised but I do have autoimmune thyroid disease Hashimoto, so am
Wondering why it’s so difficult
For me to get rid of them. I do not know what is the type of this mite- so resistant to everything and lives all over my body, in hair too. They are definitely invisible, so either scabies or demodex or both?
My mom showed mild itchy symptoms but my husband and my son were OK. They didn’t show any symptoms but I still treated everyone- my husband and my mom with Ivermectin and my son with permethrin cream.
When I got reinfected, the doctor prescribed ivermectin again because it worked for me before. I did 6 rounds of ivermectin:
Wk 1- 1 round of 4 pills, wk2- 2 consecutive days of 4 pills, wk 3- 2 consecutive days of 4 pills, wk 4- 1 round of 4 pills.
That helped but still didn’t kill them all, my problem was that I also had them on my head which I discovered too late. I have read posts on this website and started trying different remedies. I think mixing different methods works best- it seems to me that when I try something new, it works right away but then it’s time goes by, it becomes less effective. I think the most effective for my body was bath with borax and hydrogen peroxide 3%. I put approximately half a cup to one cup of borax, and one cup of peroxide in the bath and soak. when I started doing that my body got dry and they died, but I felt that something weird started happening with my head. I think they all went to my head to escape the over-treated body, and at night I would feel them crawling in my head and it bothered me so much. Something was going on in my hair, I started researching thinking maybe it’s demodex mites, because sometimes I also felt my face was troubling me, they were moving from my hear to face.The combination of borax and peroxide worked for my body, but I didn’t wanna damage my hair, so I started using vinegar for my hair, and that helped. so now the most effective combination for me is a bath with borax and peroxide, and I wash my hair with lice shampoo then rinse it with very weak, diluted vinegar. I leave the rinse on my hair for 10 minutes and then I wash it off and put conditioner on to protect my hair from drying. I do this twice a day and it keeps them away for now.
I also have a spray which has borax and vinegar- little bit of a stronger version for my head, so when I feel something moving in my head, I just spray and zap them and they stop moving. that has been my main regimen that worked so far but I did notice that they respond better to various treatments so I do other things as well.
I washed myself in bleach bath. I have put half of a cup of a bleach in the bath and that really worked!!! I had nothing going on for good almost like day and a half after! I am afraid of using bleach too often though. I also used DE three days in a row -at night after the bath I would cover myself with DE and go to bed like that. I think that also helped. To prevent my skin from drying I do a mixture of either body lotion or coconut oil with drops of clove oil, Tea, tree oil and neem oil and I put that mixture all over my body and I walk like that for the whole day because it kind of keeps the skin moisturized and creates unfriendly environment for bugs. The paste of borax, hydrogen peroxide and water was good too. 1 portion of water to 1/2 peroxide and some borax to make it into the paste. Put it on skin and let it dry. That helped especially with everything head/face related.
I noticed, when I was working hard on my body, they would run to my head. It was really surprising for me, and I wanted to prevent that. Ted mentioned some kind of essential oil barrier, so when I was treating my head I would put of essential oils around my neck so they don’t go down, just to prevent them from moving from one place to another. Be careful with essential oils, always dilute them especially tea tree.
Internally I started taking metronidazole which is antibiotic for demodex, I got it online through wisp pharmacy. The standard dose for demodex is 250/ three times per day for two weeks. That’s what I’m doing now. In addition, I drink a little bit of diluted vinegar in the morning. I also drink one teaspoon of DE in a big glass of water. I also take neem capsules, NAC and MSM. I take it all because I am so fed up with this and I am really fearful that it’s not going to work, so I’m trying to do everything I can.
I also went to sauna quite a bit to sweat them out, and I did ivy drips, I’m not sure if ivy drips or sauna worked. I usually dry sheets and clothes on two circle so I dry things for two hours. I have been sleeping by myself now, the bed is covered with a plastic cover, and sheets on top, and instead of the pillow I just fold the sheet into a square and sleep on it, because pillows are very hard to wash. In the morning, I just send it all straight to wash. and of course I’m spraying everything and your car could be a big problem, especially the seatbelts which I didn’t think about before.
I hope it works for me and for you, and I wish all of you to feel better soon. It is so heartbreaking this whole thing- my whole family thinks I’m crazy, doctors don’t know what’s going on. Only we know how much suffering we have to go through. I only hope that I’ll be able to cure it and it’s not morgellons or something like that. It is so frustrating. It’s scary. In my case it has been one and a half years I have been battling with this. I am wishing to all of us speedy recovery and to forget this nightmare once and for all.

After battling scabies for 4 years I have finally reached the end. At the feed store, they have a horse shampoo that is yellow and it's made of citronella. I went to Walmart and bought one of the scrub gloves. I wet my entire body including my hair and put the citronella horse shampoo in my hair and all over my body I let it set for 5 minutes and then I would add water to the glove and scrub my skin. This has eliminated the mites. I've done the exact same thing for my dog after I shaved him. And I I have also used it on my cat. I would really like for you guys to get the word out. It is amazing and works wonderfully.
I also make a liquid solution of potassium hydroxide - you can find the exact measurements online to make a cleaning solution - and I put a half a cup of it in my laundry to kill the mites on the clothing. works wonderfully.

I tried everything, nothing killed the scabies and made them come out of my skin like the neem, coconut, clove and tea tree oils. Probably thousands of tiny salt like shards came out of my skin everywhere - even where I wasn't itchy. It is extremely important to slather it in on every inch of your body multiple times a day until you stop feeling them. It takes about 10 minutes of massaging to really notice. So disgusting but so happy they are gone.
Mix neem and coconut oil 50/50 and then add about 5 drops each of tea tree and clove per tablespoon of neem and coconut. You'll need about 6 tablespoons to liberally cover yourself. The oils are what brings them to the surface. They are dead when they come out.
I did it for two weeks every day and then slowed down but still do it every now and then to make sure
I spent hundreds on different treatments and was at my wit's end and this was the solution. Ruined my hair and put so much toxic crap on myself over 8 months - the worst. Lost so much sleep, avoided people and activities

Aside from finding the right remedy, I know now that everyone's skin and bodies are different and through trial and error found the appropriate mixture that has worked specifically for me. I have extremely sensitive skin and can't tolerate the majority of products (both prescription and OTC) as they often trigger adverse and allergic reactions. So remember when reading this that "less is more" when you first start out using the method and mixture ratio that has worked for me.
I used organic 100% pure clove bud oil, cold pressed 109% pure coconut oil, 100% organic pure aloe vera gel, tea tree oil face and body wash for sensitive skin, Loma Lux Eczema Pill (sulphur tablets) and white 100% cotton gloves (to sleep with on my hands to help prevent further injury of unconsciously scratching/itching open skin lesions during the night - to promote my healing.
For me the ratio of mixture that I found specifically appropriate for me was this.
1.) Seven (7) drops of clove bud oil to one (1) tablespoon of coconut oil.
2.) Two Loma Lux Eczema tablets once per day (taken at bedtime). My initial dosage was 3-4 tablets for the first two weeks.
3.) Put on a fresh clean pair of the cotton gloves daily at bedtime.
4.) Use of permetherin 5% spray to treat bedding (sheets, mattress, pillows) furniture and interior rooms on a daily basis.
Every other day in the evening at bedtime I would apply the clove bud oil combined with the coconut oil to my skin (from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet - including face, scalp, inside my ear lobes, under my toe and finger nails, etc.) And on the in between days I would apply the pure sloe vera gel several times throughout the day to promote healing.
The tea tree oil face and body wash I used throughout the day several times using a slightly textured wash cloth with warm water.
Honest to God I am finally feeling relief from the insane itching, my skin lesions are all almost completely healed. Most of the scabies and demodex mites have died and exhumed from my skin (hundreds of them). I am almost in full remission after 11 + years.
Currently I am researching for the best mite killing laundry detergent add-on and hope to update this post when I find the best additive.

Turpentine bar soap cure overnight. Lather your body up to 5 times and let it sit on your skin for 2-3 minutes then rinse off. Repeat as needed. Do not put anything on your skin after you rinse and dry. I ordered my bar of soap on Amazon Search Turpinetine Bar Soap by Diamond G Forest Products. It's the best 9 dollars I have spent. I also ordered the Pure Gum Spirits of Turpentine to put some in the hand soap and hair shampoo to keep them off of me. Wash everything for the next few days to get rid of them.
I do Cryotherapy as well to freeze them suckers off of you. Keep in mind you will be cold, but you will see the parasite fall off your skin like dust. I praise God he placed this in my path to cure.
