Yes, scabies can be transmitted through direct contact with infested clothing or bedding. The mites that cause scabies can survive outside the human body for a short period, typically up to 48 to 72 hours on clothing. However, the primary mode of transmission is through prolonged skin-to-skin contact with an infested person. To prevent transmission, it's important to wash infested clothing and bedding in hot water and dry them on high heat.

Can amoxicillin kill scabies?

Amoxicillin cannot be used to treat nor cure scabies, but it is often prescribed when you have scabies to help in the fighting off of bacteria. When the blisters form on your skin and you scratch them whether knowingly or not, you cause infection. The Amoxicillin is only used in your regime to keep down further infection with your condition. If you have scabies, I would suggest taking it while you otherwise treat the scabies.
