I was very happy to find that common table salt in a warm bath cured my Scabies. After soaking for 15 minutes, get out of the bath and drip dry. Do not use a towel, but if you must, just pat dry with kitchen towels as they are more hygenic.If needed, repeat after 4 days.

I feel this treatment should be made public, as it is free of harmful poisons associated with common cures prescribed by the physician.

The salt will get into the mite holes to kill the eggs, and also kill the mites on the surface almost instantly.

This is something all families have readily available in the kitchen, and is very simple to use.

Make sure all bedding is washed in at least 50 degrees, and clothing is changed and washed as hot as possible.

    I heartily second this post. I had scabies and had applied peremethrin all over my body but could not get them out of my nose. I thought I was going to go crazy because my nose was intensely itchy for a whole year. I found some message board where someone said that salt was effective so I soaked my nose in hot salt water. The itch went away IMMEDIATELY!

    Thanks for that suggestion. I am going to try it. I think the reason this is not something that is recommended as it's not something that generates any money for these greedy evil pharmaceutical companies. Just how I feel about them is all.
