I think it is very likely that strains of scabies are becoming resistant to permethrin and other treatments, and I really do support your topic as if they are resistant to certain types of treatment then they could possibly be growing in size or becoming more stronger which mite make them even more resistant. As far as what they look like, scabies can not been seen by visible eyes but there is a video of them on this forum I will post below. I would love to hear more about resistant scabies and why the government hasnt come up with alternative over the counter treatments as of yet! Especially with all the people who can't get rid of their scabies.
