Scabies mites do not thrive in salt water, but they may not die immediately upon exposure. While salt water can create an inhospitable environment for the mites, it is not a guaranteed method of eradication. Effective treatment typically involves topical or oral medications specifically designed to kill the mites. Therefore, while salt water may help reduce the survival of scabies, it is not a reliable solution for treatment.
