Skin Scabies Native Remedies and Natural Medicine to Kill Scabies

Skin Scabies is a highly contagious skin disease predominantly characterized of intense itching, especially at night, which is caused by an infestation of itch mite called Sarcoptes scabiei. These tiny, burrowing, 1/3 millimeter long mites have been discovered in infesting humans for more than 2500 years already. They strike anywhere in the world, and had a whooping occurrence record of 300 million cases each year.

Any person can get scabies through a prolonged skin-to-skin contact such as hugging, holding hands and/or having sexual contacts with an infected individual. High chances of getting scabies can also occur if a person tends to share clothes or is sharing the same bed with an infected individual. In most cases, scabies can easily spread in common places where there are constant skin contacts – this actually includes day care centers, schools, hospitals and/or nursing homes. People should know that these mites can live 24-36 hours off from their host’s body like in clothes, bed sheets, mattresses, and pillows.

People who experience facial and scalp scabies tends to stay at home because it appears more evident and obvious – aside from its relentless itchy feeling and irritating discomfort, it does look unpleasant.

Getting rid of scabies is genuinely a universal demand of both infected and not infected people. However, Sarcoptes scabiei play things intelligently!
