Answer 1

Your doctor can get you a permethrin cream that you rub all over your body - that is the only way to get rid of the little buggers!

Answer 2

A quick trip to the doctor will fix you all up in a hurry. My son got that when he was a baby. The doctor prescribed a cream that cleared it up in two days. I of course had to keep applying the cream for a week but he was symptom free in two days. You would only need to make an appointment for one person in the family and the doctor will prescribe enough cream for the whole family if you just ask.

Answer 3

You'll need to disinfect all your bedding, clothing, and towels - wash them in hot water and put them in the dryer. Spray mattresses and couches with anti-scabies spray. Your doctor can provide you with a lotion that will help with the itch.

Answer 4

There is a medication that you take once and it kills all the scabes. Then after 10 days you take it again just in case. You will need a script from your MD for this. Wash all your clothes in as hot a water they can take. Good luck.

Answer 5

It took you about six months to get them from whomever you got them. I read once that they are kind of 'there', but it takes six months for them to 'really' be there.

You know what I mean? About six months ago, you all were around someone with them.

As for getting rid of them, sorry,...................I dunno.
