Scabie treatments failing?
We have answers!
When diagnosed having Scabies the Doctors or medical professionals prescribe Permethrin as the first drug of choice. This drug has been in use for some time and those that have had to use this to kill scabie mites repeatedly have enabled these parasites to be drug resistant.
Various factors come into play here that could of caused this. First was the application of cream put on correctly? To thin of a coat can leave scabie mites with a diluted treatment. Thus there living for another day.
They have been introduced to the pesticide.
Yes this is a pesticide to kill them and with their mutating capacities they build up resistance and do not die. Another factor is not leaving the cream on long enough. It used to be 8 or so hours but now it has been suggested to leave on for a much longer time frame. This presents a problem as most people just do not have the time in the day or night to accomplish the proper time element. So again the scabie mite is introduced to the pesticide but not long enough to for a kill. It might kill some but others that continue to get past the application become a stronger generation. So the scabie mites seem as they go away but only to return a short while later and reproduce again.
So what does one do?
There are natural products that do not enable the scabie mite to build a resistance. Re-infection from sources comes into play along with a host of other factors that you need to deal with. If not you just kick the can down the road and never really get rid of them.
According to reports, there is also other drugs used in other Countries that have been very successful such as Ivermectin. As of now the FDA has not endorsed the use of this drug for scabie mite treatments. We are not Doctors so we cannot endorse any drug to be used for anyone. We can however report findings from other medical sources to you for reading. Doctors have prescribed Ivermection for off label use in the US for treating scabie mites.
