Can a hot tub kill scabies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A prescription drug, Ivermectin, is the preferred treatment. The person with scabies and his/her contacts should all take the medication at the same time. See this site for more info: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/scabies/basics/definition/con-20023488
