I was astonished when I cam to know that I can actually pass on the scabies to my cat.I have decided actually to keep my cat separate from me while I undergo treatment for 2 weeks.Hope that will work since I'm gonna try some new products that people swear by And for all of you out there with scabies, tea tree oil only takes the itch away but doesn't kill the mites plus in some cases it causes severe burns to the skin like it did to me.

Seems like it from what I have read form other threads in the forum ,that is what it looks like vigorous cleaning is needed , my suggestion would be to keep washing all clothes and linens in hot water but include borax. Changing of sheets has also helped me get better sleep.

I got scabies form my girlfriend she started with a rash that we though was an ellergic reaction to a flea shampoo we used on our cat after the little bastard jumped out out window and spent his very first night outdoors.

don't shake hands or hug itchy human or animal strangers,scabies is very contagious

Different anti-itch medications are available in the antihistamine class. The most common is diphenhydramine (Benadryl). Other medications used are triamcinolone 0.1% cream, hydroxyzine (Atarax).

I know that a lot of people say that tea tree oil doesnt kill scabies,
I have read a lot of reports saying that its more effective than 5% prem cream.
With 5% TTO, all scabies mites were dead within three hours, whereas terpinen-4-ol alone required 11.5 hours for 100% mortality.Does use of Tea tree oil actually help scabies?
