Home Treatment

All persons in the household who have had contact with the infected person in the past month must be treated. This would normally include everyone in the home, even if they have no symptoms. (The symptoms may take 4-6 weeks to grow after an being introduced tho the house.)

It is important that the bed linen and clothes of everyone in the household be cleaned thoroughly as scabies may linger for a period of days after being treated.
Non-prescription pharmaceuticals for mites, or scabies

There are few medicines that can cure a scabies infection. Over-the-counter lice medicines are not strong enough to kill mites, or scabies. If you believe you have scabies, do not use products without a prescription from your doctor.
