A member asked:
Is spraying your shoes with lysol effective in getting rid if scabies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No : If you have scabies you need to be treated with a topical scabicide such as 5% permethrin. Spraying lysol on your shoes will only kill some of the microorganisms on your shoes but will have no effect on you.
