    Put ammonia in the wash.  About a cup or two.  Buy Permethrin from Amazon.  Put that on yourself.  Good luck.

    Bath in 1/2 cup of salt water for 20 minutes, air dry if it still seem like you are itchy after 2 days repeat process. It you are worried about dry skin spray aloe vera juice in you after you bath too. And apple cider juice you can also spray in you.

      You have to make sure you wash everything sheets, blankets, clothes in hot water and dry in dryer on hot heat some ppl dry twice but they don't live more than 72 hours on surfaces and things make sure you vacuum furniture and rugs if they are in your mattress, but a plastic mattress cover that has a zipper on it on your mattres, that will protect you and suffocate the mites.

    Hi 

    Please don't cry I know what your going through, it's a disgusting skin condition !

    have you been to the doctors they gave me Pretherin cream, I've had it for about a month have become obsessed with it, but this seems to be working, hopefully. Go back to the doctors and get it sorted, my husband funny enough hasn't contracted it.

    please let me know how you get on xxxx
