I have read alot about the use of tea tree oil for scabies and have tried it myself without any success, it really has a powerful scent and when used undiluted on the skin it can make it even more read. After using it for many months this is not a cure for scabies unless I am supposed to be using it with some kind of oil as a carrier to penetrate the skin more. But I doubt it is a cure for scabies, I think the Australians just make this up. Just wanted to put that out there

Yah, I have tried this for months and tea tree oil certainly doesnt do anything but stink. You need to get some sulfur soap and creams and boom scabies gone, they hate this stuff and its actually good for your scabies lessions as it flattens them out and drys them
