On 6/20 I treated for scabies with Permethrin (and 7 days later again) and now I think I am free of scabies(well hoping). I've been borrowing a car from my grandmother, and left my car sitting in the garage for weeks now. I didnt do anything to my car other then leave it in the garage. When do you think it is safe to start using again? How about 1month ? What ever is sufficient time to guarantee I wont get reinfested if that was the original place i got it.

Thanks

Yes two weeks should be fine unless you had a severe case of scabies and were always in your car or something. Typically a person diagnosed with scabies rite away only has between 8-15 mites on them. A person with norwegian scabies can have thousands of mites on them and in this case the mites would have evolved and may be able to live off of a host for a longer period of time. If you were diagnosed rite away 2 weeks would be plenty of time for anything left in your car to die off. If you want to be on the safe side make a tea tree oil spray and spray it down and if you have extra money get your interior dry cleaned. Typically scabies will die after 3-5 days off of the host.

2 weeks of leaving scabies away from a host is an easy scabies kill, everything in your car should be fine after about 7-8 days guarantteed.
