Question: I have scabies....how do I get rid of them?

Answer: Scabies is a terrible problem to deal with because they actually burrow into your skin and live in your body feeding on you. They aslo cause you to itch and produce a nasty rash that if not treated can easily become infected.

To treat scabies, you have to get them off of your body and out of your house. Be careful about what Dr's try to prescribe for you. The most common prescription is either a permethrin cream or Lindane.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has classified the insecticide permethrin as a carcinogen because it causes lung tumors in female mice and liver tumors in mice of both sexes.

Lindane has been banned in California and many countries around the world.

I recommend a non-toxic, pesticide free product called Kleen Free as well as a combination of other products. It is effective at removing scabies from your body and your house.It also provides immediate relief to the itching caused by scabies. Here are several ways to use the products:

Add it to your bathwater and soak in the tub for 20 minutes. Try to do this between 4-6 pm because the bugs usually come out of their burrows during this time.

If you have any scabies in your head, I recommend a product called NitFree Lice Infestation Removal Kit. This is a mousse shampoo made with the same enzymes contained in Kleen Free. It is formulated for the hair.

Apply a diluted solution of Kleen Free directly to the affected areas. You may also use the NitFree Mousse for this.

After drying, apply a good moisturizing lotion to keep the skin moist. This will help with the rash.

Add the product to your laundry to help clean away any scabies that might have come off your body during the night. Wash your bed linens and bed clothes every morning.

Dilute the product with water to make a spray. Use this to spray on the bed and the surrounding area to help clean and remove any bugs.

Used correctly, Kleen Free and NitFree will help you fight your scabies outbreak so that you can get back to feeling healthy again.
