I actually went to Europe in December, and I really am not sure where exactly I got the scabies. First I traveled to Italy, then I went to many hotels in Germany, then to France. But anyway, I know I got them there, because that's where the itch began. The itch just started under my buttocks, on the folding between my leg. I thought of it as nothing, maybe my skin was dry. Then I began to notice that my butt crack began to itch. And slowly, or I should rather say FASTLY it began to spread. I got back from Europe January 6th, and immediately I searched and came out with SCABIES. That was the only answer to this.
BUT I was not going to let this control my life. I've had experience with having itching infections since I was in 5th grade. My first one was on my feet One day when I was a Freshman, my mom put bleach and all this other crap on me, and VOILA! the itch went away. That itch that I spent years with went away. My mom was a genius! After that, I began itching on my vagina and surroundings (btw, excuse me for all this info, but I think it will really help people) And I used the same thing; bleach and this other that liquid she had made before, since she still had some.
Well, now, a college student, I do not have my mom's secret recipe, but I did know that I could kill them will acid and bleach :) I was not going to let them control me. You see, I see these little critters as people. They're just there bugging you, literally. They want to control your life, because they do. They don't let you concentrate because they itch so much. But anywho, I'm sure you want to know what I did. So I'll move on.
This is what I used:
Bleach
Hot Shot Bed Bug and Flea Spray (It cost me $6 at Walmart)
Top Care Hydrocortisone 1% Cream (To soothe itching after it dried. Didn't really use it though)
This is what I DID:
I washed ALL my clothes and put them to dry VERY well to kill anything that was there.
While that was happening, I went to take a shower. Here was my process:
I filled a regular water bottle half way with water and a little halfway with bleach. I washed myself regularly, but after scrubbing myself, I poured the water bottle ALL over my body, not just the infected area, just in case they're crawling somewhere we can't feel them yet. Wash the folds of your body, EVERYWHERE. Now, if you have open wounds, I'm sorry to say this, but it's going to hurt like a mofo. But just see it this way; you're killing the mofos! A little pain won't kill you.
Now, after you're done with that, dry yourself with a clean towel. Do not dress in anything that you wore before showering. Put anything you had to wash. Now, before changing, spray the bed bug spray all over the clothes you'll be wearing. inside, everywhere. Once you're done with that, you spray YOURSELF. Yes, yourself. As I mentioned before, It will hurt if you have open wounds (I had them) But oh well. Just spray some on your hands and rub it all around. Put your clothes on and begin to spray your bed. Remember to wash bed covers! Spray the matress first, then put your sheets and spray those, then cover, and so on. spray all around the room where you think you might have scabies. Spray all clothes just in case.
Everytime you change, remember to spray yourself and the clothes. Never use a towel twice. and if you do, spray it before hand.
How long did I do this for? For a week or so. Did it work? YES. I don't have scabies, thank god! You will still have a little itching afterward, because your body is still allergic to the eggs they left, but it will go away. I really recommend you do this. I know there's a lot of people who will say "uhm that's dangerous, read the label"
Yes, I read the label, and it's not like i did it for years. I had the feet infection for 5 years and my mom removed it in one day. Now you tell me, you want to try all these $100 products and let them fail, or you want to try something that is strong and get rid of it soon?
Good luck to those :) And remember, don't let them control you!!
