The scabies came back!

by Poom
(Cote d'Ivoire)

Last August, I used pure neem oil to treat scabies and it was really effective. The third day, no itching, no new bumps on the skin. And I still continued to use the oil but mixed it with shea butter.

But this December, I noticed the bumps and the furrows or burrows again on my skin. Is it possible that the mites are still inside my body and bobed up when I stopped using neem oil? Or is it a new infection from outside?

Scabies and neem oil
by: Hi Poom

Hi Poom,

I suggest you re-read the information I give about treating scabies at home with neem oil.

As I explained there, neem oil will get rid of the mites, but unless you totally eradicate them from your house you will just become infected again.

Now, I don't think the mites survived for that long without blood in your house. But do you know where you picked up the infection the first time? Unless that source of infection has been removed, you will pick up the scabies mites again as soon as you stop using neem oil.

Thanks, B, for your prompt reply to my comment. In fact, i wanted to know if the scabies can still be in the blood but not on the skin after the four-month treatment.

I did stay away from the infection spot but you never know...

Mites don't enter the blood

Hi Poom,

Scabies mites burrow under the skin but they don't enter your blood.

This must be stopped
by: 3 seperate times, I had to deal..

Proportions! Just the people I know, who have gotten this new bionic form of scabies. Some are just recovering from the last attack a few months ago where as some are still trying to rid of them.
Others, "the newbie?s", are currently mistreating it, partially in denial, partially misinformed, partially with no medical insurance and, humiliated and embarrassed as hell.

I battled with it 3 times in less than a year?s period. One of the times, I was infected after going to the house I had first contracted it from(but didn?t know it at the time).

Second, when I visited this person, 6 months after the first incident ( myself being scabies free for about 5 months, and assuming him, and his family were scabies free too, considering the amount of time that had gone by).

I got it again. But this time I knew where it came from. That?s part of the battle as well. It got it one more time after that. It was from a friend who was still infested along with his family. They got me again; a 3rd time.

The permethrin cream worked every time but, NOT ALONE. It required disinfecting of all furniture, constant vacuuming, constant laundry, work, and money, everything else right out the window.
It is a nightmare beyond anything you can imagine; what is does to you and your family. My question; is this an epidemic? I still know people who can?t get rid of it and can?t afford to go to the doctor.

Permethrin cream is getting to be as demanding as illegal drugs. But this time, the dealer is not the one with access to it. It?s the person with medical insurance, and from what I see, it?s not the ones with insurance who are getting scabies. And if this isn?t remedied soon, MARK MY WORDS, we will have a REAL EPIDEMIC on our hands, that WILL AFFECT EVERYBODY!

Even with all that I?ve learned, I have now, for the 4th time, been contaminated by the same person who got me the last time, because he doesn?t know if he still has it. He thinks it?s gone. I?ve heard it before and I?m already preparing myself.

I WISH I COULD spend my time on other things. ANYTHING!!!!!

How did I get them?
by: covered with bites

I have just been diagnosed as having a severe case of scabies and seem to have thousands if not millions of bites and bumps. What I can't figure out is how I got them when no one in my home has shown any signs of having them including my 4 year old daughter so where does someone get them if they haven't had contact with the infected? Someone had to get them from somewhere to be able to spread them. Please help I've used the permethrin and treated myself and family just in case also steam cleaned entire house.
