The 20 mule team is fine for scabies, but it is that say 1 teaspoon of borax mixed with 1.5% H2O2, wait until borax is dissolved, for 3-5 minutes, and then apply to the area. The 20 mule team borax is fine. Usually if that is dissolved and used wet cloth over the area several times this will save more money than the scabies in the tub.
For borax bath, you are going to need a lot more borax to fill the tub. It is one teaspoon per liter so add that until the tub is full.

I have a question. I have reading 2 different dosages of borax...i am treating scabies ...do I use 1/8 teaspoon of borax to 1 liter of water and drink the entire 1 liter in 1 day because I see another dosage saying add 1 teaspoon to 1 liter of water and take 1 teaspoon 2 times a day. Could you please let me know because I am very confused. Thank you. I am so excited to find this!Replied by Ted (Bangkok, Thailand) on 04/04/2015
1/8 teaspoon of borax in 1 liter of water is for drinking. 1 teaspoon of borax is for external use only. Ted
