Permethrin Cream is toxic by nature. The toxic permethrin cream has been proven to have nuerotoxic effects and can even cause tumors and cancer. Studies with permethrin cream and labs rats have resulted in lung tumors, cancer and death. An over-exposure to permethrin cream can be crucially damaging to your health.

It’s important to know this fact now, before you use this toxic permethrin cream that doctors still prescribe and pharmacies still sell when eradicating insects and mites. Permethrin Cream is a proven mitacide and will kill scabies, head lice, body lice, pubic lice and other parasites and insects. There’s no denying the fact it will kill insects and mites — but at what cost? Is the sacrafice of your good health and peace of mind worth a quick solution to the problem. We don’t think so, and I’m sure you don’t either. Check out what the we found the EPA and over governing agencies reported on Permethrin cream toxicity and safety hazards below

“Permethrin acts as neurotoxin, slowing down the nervous system through binding to sodium channels. This action is negatively correlated to temperature, thus generally showing more acute effects on cold-blooded animals (insects, fish, frogs…) over warm-blooded animals (mammals and birds):

permethrin is extremely toxic to fish and aquatic life in general so extreme care must be taken when using products containing permethrin near water sources
permethrin is also highly toxic to cats and flea and tick repellent formulas intended and labeled for (the more resistant) dogs may contain permethrin and cause feline permethrin toxicosis in cats
very high doses will have tangible neurotoxic effects on mammals and birds, including human beings.
Permethrin does not present any notable genotoxicity or immunotoxicity in humans and farm animals.

Permethrin is classified by the US EPA a likely human carcinogen, based on reproducible studies in which mice fed permethrin developed liver and lung tumors Carcinogenic action in nasal mucosal cells for inhalation exposure is suspected due to observed genotoxicity in human tissue samples, and in rat livers the evidence of increased preneoplastic lesions lends concern over oral exposure

Recent studies have linked permethrin exposure to Parkinson’s disease, including very small (per kg.) exposures: « Our studies have documented low-dose effects of permethrin, doses below one-one thousandth of a lethal dose for a mouse, with effects on those brain pathways involved in Parkinson’s Disease [...] We have found effects consistent with a pre-parkinsonsian condition, but not yet full-blown parkinsonism ».

Due to high toxicity for aquatic life, permethrin and permethrin-contaminated water should be properly disposed of. Degradation is quick and should the chemical be trashed far from any aquatic life, the negative effects would be minimized. Ideally, in a non-industrial context, the contaminant can be set in the light to induce photodegradation. Contaminated water set in direct sunlight exposure will be cleared of the permethrin and any known pollutant subproducts after a few hours.

Recently, in South Africa, residues of permethrin were found in breast milk, together with DDT, in an area that experienced DDT treatment for malaria control, as well as the use of pyrethroids in small-scale agriculture.

The use of the substance has been restricted by the US government, although such restriction is outdated now.”

If you need a safe and non-toxic solution to your insect, parasite or mite problem learn more before you buy.

Check out this document posted by the FDA warning citizens about toxic scabies lotion Lindane.

This is really disturbing to think doctors are even prescribing this toxic scabies lotion as a scabies treatment. If you are limited to putting only 1oz of Lindane scabies lotion on your body how are you supposed to effectively treat for scabies if you have it all over your body. You can’t?

You need a non-toxic scabies treatment, unlike Permethrin Cream or Eliminte or Lindane, that you can feel safe using. Fortunately, there are non-toxic scabies treatments available.

These toxic scabies lotions and treatments take advantage of the fact that people are desperate for solution to scabies and will try almost anything to stop the itch. It’s absolutely outragous these companies are willing to sacrifice people’s long term health in order to turn a quick profit. Some of these toxic scabies lotions are even outlawed in some states because of their proven negative effects on people’s health.

Don’t feel like you have to sacrifice your long term health in order to get rid of scabies. Find a non-toxic scabies treatment that is right for you today.

Skin Parasites

There are several forms of skin parasite that can cause suffering and illness in people, and most are well known and understood. They take the form of miniature insects – mites, fleas and ticks to be broad – and show up in a number of ways, causing a variety of skin problems that can be a source of notable pain to the inflicted.

Scabies
The Scabies Mite Among the most widely recorded instances of mites in humans are some that feature the the Scabies, or Itch, mite. This miniscule mite feeds on our blood and eats tiny tunnels in the skin where the female lays her egg stays for her lifetime. The creatures are spread by one to one contact, as they can not survive without a human host. The tunnelling of the mites instigates very serious itching and discomfort, and leaves behind a tiny indication of a line where the mite has burrowed under the skin.

Inflammation of the skin also occurs, and scratching by the patient is inevitable, and simply exaggerates the problem. Identifying scabies is quite quick – the discolouration of the skin and the terrible itching are ever present – but it might also be a symptom of other similar infections , and is thus not easy to diagnose correctly. One notable problem is that the symptoms may not be felt until several weeks after the mites have come to live, leading to the problem being much advanced by the time it is diagnosed. Once spotted, however, scabies can be treated with a choice of creams and lotions and other solutions, and is not difficult to treat very swiftly indeed.

Ticks
Ticks are distinguished from mites in that they exist on the skin, and feed on our blood by eating their way into the skin and securing themselves by way of very powerful protruding barbs. This is one facet of ticks that live on mammals and humans that instils them extremely horrible; it also makes them supremely difficult to remove with ease, and whether on a human or animal, it is dangerous to simply pick a tick that is in the process of eating off the body. This action will to leave the jaw section – the anchor – in the first layers of the skin and, in a number of cases, can impel surgery being necessary in order to prevent serious infection. The agreed method of removing ticks is to encase them in butter or oil, or other fatty substances, which serves to suffocate the mite in a short time. The use of fats results in a relaxing of the creature’s grip, and it should thus be easy to remove. Ticks, in particular those found in tropical countries, can carry a number of very problematic fevers, and as such ought to be treated with a degree of necessity in all cases.

Morgellons
Morgellons Syndrome One of the more interesting problems associated with skin parasites is that known as Morgellons Syndrome, a recently investigated condition that is as interesting as it is troubling. Morgellons syndrome is a parasitic infection with a very odd feature – there are no parasites medical institutions as a delusionary condition. However, it is accepted as not being an entirely modern condition, just one that has been pictured more widely in recent years. Treatment for Morgellons syndrome often follows that undertaken for similar delusionary illnesses, and so far it has not been viewed by the medical profession as anything other than a problem akin toan inexplicable psychological

The scabies mite is a wingless insect and often called the Human Itch mite or Scabies itch mite. The tiny insect is just visible to the eye (about 0.4mm) and is tiny, eight-legged creature with a round body.

I liked the scabies mites video below because it actually shows what the scabies mite looks like and also demonstrates how it moves. Imagine these tiny insects buried into your skin while scratching and biting.

The female mite is drawn to heat and odor from humans.  The mite makes a burrow, laying eggs and secrets saliva and feces that cause an allergic reaction. Larvae (babies) hatch from the eggs and travel to the skin surface, lying in shallow pockets where they will produce secretions.

The female scabies mite burrows into the skin and she lays 1-3 eggs daily.  If the female mite is not killed, she will hatch new eggs for 5 weeks.

The scabies rash is caused by the mite, its eggs and feces; the skin becomes irritated and inflammation usually occurs.  The scabbee rash is extremely itchy, which often causes sleeping problems especially in infants and young children.

There are non toxic and toxic (prescriptions) scabies treatments available on the market.  A non pesticidal treatment you might consider uses a surfactant called Mitactin.

Scabies is a contagious skin mite that effects many different races and social groups of people. It is a common misconception that you must be dirty to get scabies. When in fact; anyone, any gender, any race or age can catch scabies.

There are two ways to treat for scabies. These is a non-toxic over the counter treatment for scabies and a toxic scabies cream which requires a prescription. Toxic scabies treatments may be very harmful if not deadly especially for children and adults with lowered immune systems. Learn more about our non-toxic scabies treatment.

We often get asked if you can use only one product instead of buying a complete scabies treatment system. Joe L. had one of these questions recently.

Joe asked, “All the symptoms say scabbies, but my wife does not have it. It has been going on for 6 months and has recently gotten much worse. I itch all day, but worse at night and early morning. I think it is scabbies because I can feel them burrowing I think. Is the Mitactin Deep Cleaning Salve the best way to start out and make sure it works since I am on a very tight income or do I have to do the whole system treatment?”

Our individual products like the Mitactin Salve that Joe mentioned will provide a great deal of relief for scabies. However, our complete non-toxic scabies treatment is really recommended (not to mention guaranteed) to eliminate scabies completely. Our individual products are meant as refill items for individuals who have a severe case of scabies and need a little more product to complete their treatment.

Be careful when choosing a scabies treatment as many available scabies lotions are toxic to your body such as Permethrin Cream and Elimite. You don’t want to get rid of scabies in exchange for even worse health problems cause by toxic scabies lotions.

Think we are making this up? Do some research on the ingredients in Permethrin Cream and Elimite. They contain toxic pesticides which are proven to cause major health problems espcially in severe cases of scabies. Choose a non-toxic scabies lotion to eliminate your scabies problem.

Scabies is not a term you hear discussed at the workplace or possibly at family gatherings but it is a very wide spread condition still present and causing problems for people.

Scabies is known as a highly contagious infection caused by a tiny microscopic mite. These mites are usually only about 0.3mm long and burrow into the skin of humans. The female mite burrows under the skin and lays several eggs.  Once the eggs hatch they come up from the skin and attach to the hair shaft for a few molts before growing into adult mites and starting the life cycle over again.

One serious symptom of scabies is intense itching. This itching is caused by an allergic reaction to the feces and saliva of the mites. Itching can still occur after all of the mites have been treated. The more times you have scabies the sooner you will start to feel the itching once you have picked up the mite. Itching increases at night with a scabies infestation and can also become worse during a hot shower.

Many people resort to any scabies treatment they can find, including toxic treatments such as Permethrin Cream and Elimite. These scabies lotions are extremely toxic to your body and contain toxic levels of pesticides. Before resorting to these toxic scabies treatment like Permethrin and Elimite try doing some research for non-toxic scabies lotions available.

Scabies is common among humans who live in overcrowded conditions or if good hygiene is limited.  However, you can be a very clean person and still catch scabies. Scabies is contagious and can be passed by close personal contact with an infected individual or by sharing objects such as sheets, towels or clothing with an infected person.

Scabies will usually burrow into warm folds in the skin. Some common locations of scabies on the body are between the fingers, wrists, armpits, elbows, nipples, genitalia areas, around the waist or the soles of the feet.

Larger infestations of scabies can be called crusted or Norwegian Scabies. This is condition is caused if there is a very large amount of mites on the body. Your normal case of scabies consists of no more than 15 mites on the body at one time. A case of crusted scabies will have thousands or millions of scabies mites on the skin. This is usually caused in people who suffer from a lowered immune system. An individual with a case of Norwegian Scabies does not scratch.  These cases are known to happen with people who live in institutions. This can also happen to people with a skin condition that lowers the amount of sensations on the skin such as syringomyelia or leprosy. Norwegian or crusted scabies will travel to the scalp of their victims while a normal infestation is not usually noticed above the neck.

Preventing scabies can be difficult because it is so highly contagious. However good hygiene is the most important thing you can do. Washing sheets and bedding daily can help to eliminate problems with scabies. Also not sharing items of clothing, towels or bedding with others can also be helpful to prevent scabies from attacking you and your family.

So every now and then I get an itch on my ankle or leg and put the Q-Based Sulfinex Cream on and it goes away.  My skin is highly sensitive and every time I have an itch, I figure it is something from the cats.  As far as the Mitactin goes, I’ve had a bump form in my left nostril a couple weeks ago.  Thinking it was one of those critters,  I put Mitactin on a Q-tip and put it on the lump in my nose, which hurt.  After doing this for two days, the lump disappeared.  There was a place on the outside of that nostril where it looked like a mite got into.  Now it is again on the other nostril and I am all out of Mitactin.  That is why I ordered Mitactin.  It all really works.

I am suspecting that I originally had bird mites under my skin.  Someone had given me a birds nest (I am an elementary school teacher and collected nests).  I had taken it and put it in a large plastic box where I kept other nests.  Only thing, each of those other nests were in individual plastic bags.  I was in a hurry moving and did not put the last nest in a bag.  When I did remember it, I found at the bottom of that box black, small period size dots.  I destroyed ALL the nests!

Then we got the kittens two years after our move.  I still had a few bothering me once in a while.  I think that perhaps the cats got these things from me, although I am doing great and have been so for the last 2+ years.  I am thinking it was bird mites because my daughter called me last summer from family camp in Michigan, asking me what company I purchased my creams from to help get rid of my mites when I had them.  I gave them your website.  She told me that a 12 year old boy found a bird’s nest which had an egg in it.  He handled the egg and nest for a while.   A few hours afterward, he had a body itch he’d never experienced before and she thought it sounded much like my former experience.  I am inclined to agree.

Thank you for Q-Based Healthcare!  Truly, it saved my life.  When I was first encountered with this problem, I tried everything and no doctor could help me.  I believed they thought that I was crazy.  I tried things like Kleen Free and another product and spent a lot of money.  When I found your product, I was so thrilled to find out it worked!  I took down a mosquito netting, which was over our bed four years ago and should have kept it.  It was literally covered with black, small period like dots which I am sure came off of my body during the night.  By the time I found Q-Based products, the critters had multiplied on my body a hundred fold and thus it took much longer to rid them from me.  I am forever grateful for Q-Based products and will forever keep Mitactin and Sulfinex in my house for anything that comes along.  Thanks, Q-Based!!!  SS

I talk to people with scabies everyday and the most commonly asked question is “Why Me?” People assume that just because they bathe regularly they cannot catch scabies. This is a common misconception. Scabies is highly contagious and therefore easily contracted by personal contact. Scabies symptoms usually starts out as a pimple like rash and is usually extremely itchy. Most of our customers complain about not being able to sleep at night because the itching is uncontrollable. Usually the scabies mites are more active at night and sometimes they are biting you from being re-infested in your mattress. Another reason that people have trouble diagnosing scabies is because scabies mites are microscopic and cannot be viewed with the naked eye. Some customers report they can actually see the mites, however it is not actually the mite they are seeing but the remaining feces and bodily secretions of the mites once they burrow into the skin. Most of the scabies mite burrows will make zigzagging shapes in the skin, which can be another symptom of scabies. Our most popular products used for scabies treatment is our non-toxic lotion for scabies. The surfactants in our scabies products cause the scabies mites to dehydrate and die. We even have many customers who order Mitactin by the gallon or half gallon. The Mitactin is good to use anywhere on the body. Some most common spots to have scabies symptoms on the body are where body parts meet causing more heat to be generated. The scabies mites are attracted to body heat. Symptoms usually occur on the arm pits, genital areas, wrists, ankles and behind the knees.

I received a call last week from a woman who was stating that she is having rashes on the skin and is feeling like things are biting her. She needed suggestions of scabies products that would work fast and safely on her. She has a lowered immune system and was scared to use the doctor’s toxic treatment of Permethrin Cream because she read the side effects online. I assured Ms. Taylor our scabies medication is complete safe and non-toxic. She decided to give our products a try because she was not able to sleep at night because of the biting and itching. She also needed something for her home so she purchased a mattress bag and our PuracleenRx Disinfectant Spray.

Ms. Taylor from Atlanta Georgia called me back today and let me know she is feeling much better and the biting has finally stopped and she is able to sleep at night again. She was so happy! I was so excited that I was able to help her with getting rid of scabies.

Have you ever asked the question, where did scabies originate from?  Since I have been employed with Q-Based Healthcare for almost 3 years now, I have never been asked this question until I spoke to Pam.  She is one of my customers that was having difficultly getting rid of scabies. I guess when you are infested by these little creatures, it makes you curious and want to understand them more. Possibly your doctor did not inform you enough about what scabies really are. Some people assume it is a horrible disease. Actually, it’s not, they are microscopic scabies skin mites.

Scabies is known to be very contagious, if you come in contact with an infected person or item for a short period time it can be contracted. You should be very cautious when you are traveling to unfamiliar areas if you do not want to come in contact with scabies mites. Scabies have been around for a very long time. They were first recorded 2,500 years ago and have been affecting humans ever since. Scabies mites can affect anyone, it does not matter what your personal hygiene is, your age or your race. They live on humans and transfer from one person to another.

Some Common Places where you can contract scabies are Nursing Homes, Hotels, Motels, and Crowded Public Places including your friend’s homes and theaters as well.

Pam from Austin, Texas called me for help the minute she found out she has scabies. She went on a cruise during the summer and brought back home a special guest with her — scabies mites. The scabies symptoms did not start to form on her skin until 3 to 4 weeks after the cruise. Symptoms of scabies started off under her bra line, and within weeks, the tracks seemed to be more and more. Worst yet, at night they seemed to be more active. She was constantly scratching at night and sometimes it would wake her up. Pam had to take so much Benadryl to relieve the itching and help to put her back to sleep.  She couldn’t stand the torturing from these creatures so she decided to visit her Physician, who automatically diagnosed her with scabies. He prescribed her Elimites to use, but before she started the scabies treatment, she got curious and started to do more research on scabies and found our website. By the time she was through reading our website, she was glad she had decided not to use the products that the doctor had prescribed to her. She discovered Elimite is toxic just like Permethrin Cream. These are commonly prescribed lotions for scabies even despite their toxic properties.

Pam lives alone so she only had to worry about herself and her environment. Pam decide to call in and talk to me, she had many questions regarding scabies infestations. She purchased our Mitactin Scabies Combo, 32 ounce disinfectant, 32 oz. Eco Dust, and a disposable mattress cover. She wanted to make sure these little creatures will be completely gone from her life. She took every precaution and suggestion given to her, and sure enough after completing the scabies treatment and post nodular treatment, she was finally free. Even now, Pam still uses our disinfectant cleaner and in fact she still has our disposable mattress cover on her bed. She also ordered another set to bring it with her whenever she travels. Pam is not the only person that takes extra precaution, most of our staff here at Q-Based Healthcare do as well.
