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.

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.
