Can scabies infest your house?

Scabies is a skin infection cause by tiny parasidic mites. They live in the pores or hair folicles of your skin and cause a skin rash and intense itching. You can get scabies from skin to skin contact with someone who has them, from being outdoors, but mainly they occur in unsanitary living conditions. They can live in the blankets, bedding, and other fabric surfaces that have not been cleaned regularly. Scabies were a lot more common in the past before the invent of washing machines and when people had poor hygeine habits. They are fairly easy to cure on the skin--I believe calamine lotion kills them and I'm sure that OTC lice medication would also. But if you have a red, itchy skin rash it's best to see a physician to get a correct diagnosis because a fungal infection or allergic reaction can cause a similar looking rash. If you are diagnosed with scabies you need to treat all the surfaces you have come into contact with and alert the person you think you may have caught scabies from and those that have been close to you and in your house. Your doctor or an exterminator may be able to tell you the best way to treat your house.

What is the most effective home remedy for getting rid of scabies?

Ok, so I noticed what i thought was scabies 4 days ago so this is what i did. I researched the hell out of the internet and asked 2 pharmacists how to treat over the counter. The internet said a lot about tea tree oil, the pharmamcist said to use a lice kit all over your body but it isnt safe for more than 10 min and u need at least 20min to kil them using the lice kit. I took some info i gathered and thought id try this before i risked the lice kit and/or prescription Rx. i drew a really really hot bath, added 3 cups epsom salt, 1/4 cup coconut oil 1/4 cup tea tree oil. I soaked in it for about an hour washing with neem soap. your sking will be oily, LEAVE IT ON for about 30 min, dont towel dry, just air dry, walk around the house or something. I then got back in a very hot shower and washed excess oil off with neem soap. I then filled a spray bottle with hot water, 1/2tsp tea tree oil, 1/4tsp coconut oil. Shakke it well and spray all over you body every 30 min. Spray your bedding as well and let air dry. after about an hour i got a clean paper towel and wiped my body. They are really tiny but you can see them on white paper. they just came out of my skin and were dead. I did this last night around 7pm and haven't itched or noticed anything nearly 24hrs later. I will repeat this for the next 3 days or untill im sure they are gone. Fingers crossed. I really hope this helps someone.

What does it mean when theres a continuous itch that cant be scratched and a get a sharp pain when i pee?

My advice would be to go and see your doctor who will perform a few tests on you to see what this is.

Without having no test results it is hard to know what this is. However these are the symptoms of Thrush, when itching a lot and sometimes pain during sex or urination and an increased amount of discharge which can look a little like cottage cheese.

However I cannot be certain of this and the only advice anyone can give you is to go and see your local GP

Please leave me feedback or recommend me if you are satisfied with my answer.
