Natural health with Megan Sheppard: Scabies and Pancytopenia

My daughter has contracted scabies, and I am at a loss as to how we get rid of them for good. Please help.

The scabies mite (Sarcoptes scabiei) is a tiny wingless mite that is only just visible to the naked eye. The female burrows into the skin and lays up to three eggs daily for about five weeks, at which point the eggs hatch and the cycle begins again.

The itching rash is an allergic reaction to the mite, its eggs and faeces. It appears in folds and crevices of the body and has a characteristic blistered appearance in a zig-zag pattern.
