Kleen Free for Scabies - 128 Ounces (1 Gallon)
Kleen Free is more Effective and Safer than Poison Based Products for Scabies.
Kleen Free is an All Natural enzyme based solution for scabies. Kleen Free is 100% Safe, Non-Toxic and Pesticide Free. It works by breaking down the outer exoskeleton of the scabies bug. Insects are made up of a high concentration of protein. When Kleen Free Enzymes are introduced to the insect, the enzymes act on the protein and cause the insect to molt (shed its outer coating) prematurely. Poison pesticides attack the nervous system of the insect, which is not always effective as many bugs have become immune to pesticides. Kleen Free is completely safe for humans, pets and the environment.
How to Use for Scabies:
All members of the family should take a soaking bath, preferably in the late afternoon between 4 and 6 pm using 8 ounces of Kleen Free in a tub of warm water. Soak approximately 20 minutes. Do not use soap or other products during this soaking process. Air dry. After body is completely dry, apply diluted Kleen Free solution to problem areas. Do not rinse. This soaking bath should be done daily. This process should be repeated daily until all signs of the scabies are gone. Plan on at least 10 days to 2 weeks of this process to feel comfortable that they are completely gone.
Dilute enzyme product using 1 ounce per 8 ounces of water and apply directly to affected area with finger, cotton ball or swab. Massage diluted Kleen Free onto dry skin giving special attention to areas between fingers, toes and under finger and toenails. Allow Kleen Free to dry when applied to the affected area. Many times men are carries of the scabies bug and do not get as infected as women. Scabies usually infects the very young, the very old or those with a reduced immune system.
Repeat this topical application daily to insure complete coverage - preferably morning, noon and before bedtime. Continue using until symptoms no longer persist -- usually 1 to 3 weeks -- depending on degree of infestation.
Use 4 ounces of Kleen Free in your washing machine to wash all clothes the clothes in the affected rooms. Wash all bed linens and night clothes daily. If you can not wash daily, put the linens and bed clothes every morning into a garbage bag and seal it until you can wash them.
All members of the family should wash hands in diluted solution frequently. (1 ounce with 8 ounces of water)
Dilute Kleen Free (1oz per 8oz of water) and use as a spray to clean the bugs off of the bed, bedframe, carpet, curtains and other areas where the scabies bug likes to hide. Scabies can live off of the human body for up to 72 hours so you should repeat this process daily until all scabies are gone.
DILUTED SOLUTION CAN BE USED AS OFTEN AS NEEDED.
NOTE: Scratching an infected area and then another non-infected area on the body can easily transfer Scabies.
NOTE:The effectiveness of Kleen Free can be reduced if used with other products.
TIP: Make sure bottle is kept capped to insure enzyme freshness.
What are Scabies:
Scabies is a transmissible ectoparasite skin infection characterized by superficial burrows, intense pruritus (itching) and secondary infection. The word 'scabies' is Latin for 'itch'.
Caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei, variety hominis, it produces intense, itchy skin rashes when the impregnated female tunnels into the stratum corneum of the skin and deposits eggs in the burrow. The larvae, which hatch in 3-10 days, move about on the skin, molt into a "nymphal" stage, and then mature into adult mites. The adult mites live 3-4 weeks in the host's skin. The motion of the mite in and on the skin produces an intense itch which may resemble an allergic reaction in appearance. The presence of the eggs produces a massive allergic response which, in turn, produces more itching. Scabies is transmitted readily, often throughout an entire household, by prolonged skin-to-skin contact with an infected person (e.g. bed partners), and thus is sometimes classed as a sexually transmitted disease. Spread by clothing, bedding or towels is a less significant risk, though possible.
It takes approximately 4-6 weeks to develop symptoms after initial infestation. Therefore, a person was contagious at least a month before they were diagnosed. This means that person could have passed scabies to anyone at that time with whom they had close contact. Someone who sleeps in the same room with a person with scabies has a high possibility of having scabies as well although they show no symptoms.
The symptoms are caused by an allergic reaction that the body develops over time to the mites and their by-products under the skin, thus the 4-6 week "incubation" period. There are usually relatively few mites on a normal, healthy person--about 11 females in burrows. Scabies are microscopic although sometimes they are visible as a pinpoint of white, but most people can't see them. The females burrow into the skin and lay eggs there. Males roam on top of the skin however can burrow and do, but both males and females surface at times especially at night. They can be washed off or scratched off (however scratching should be done with a washcloth to avoid cutting the skin as this can lead to infection), which, although not a cure, helps to keep the total population low. Also, humans create antibodies to the scabies mites which do kill some of them.
People with compromised immune systems do not develop antibodies to the mites and may develop crusted Norwegian scabies, where many form scabs or have very red skin especially in the elderly and the mentally handicapped where white or gray crusted areas develop with little itching and little or no red bumps and mite population numbers soar to hundreds, thousands, or in AIDS patients millions. These cases require additional treatment options to ensure a complete kill. Ivermectin is the treatment of choice in these patients combined with any other topical treatment.
The key is timing. All household members should be treated at the same time and cleaning must be thorough and simultaneous. Non-Toxic, Pesticide Free treatments are recommended because many have found complications later by taking Permethrin treatments (Acticin or Elimite) due to the pesticide content. Sometimes the effects of too much pesticide can cause bad complications for a year or more. Kleen Free is effective and the least toxic method of treatment.
Expect increased itching and red bumps for the first week after taking any treatment for scabies. The dead mites remain in the skin for 30 days. They are removed with the body's natural shedding process. During those 30 days expect new bumps and itching.
