Guest guest Posted October 10, 1999 Report Share Posted October 10, 1999 Scabies is a highly contagious parasitic skin infection caused by mites. I would suggestion that all the clothes in the family be boiled so that there isn't a reinfection. You can take oatmeal baths to help control the itching. Or make a tea of peppermint, pennyroyal, rosemary, sage, spearmint and thyme to add to the bath. You can even make a thyme vinegar and rub on the skin. Make sure plenty of garlic and onions are eaten. Dottie - M. Walker <ole_crone <herbal remedies > Saturday, October 09, 1999 11:45 PM [herbal remedies] Scabbies > " M.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 1999 Report Share Posted October 10, 1999 I would also put tea tree oil in your laundry and lotion, liquid soap and shampoo. As it will also kill the little varmits, Kim in Utah - Carl , Dottie, or Sparkle <tapakey <herbal remedies > Saturday, October 09, 1999 5:32 PM Re: [herbal remedies] Scabbies > " Carl , Dottie, or Sparkle " <tapakey > > Scabies is a highly contagious parasitic skin infection caused by mites.
