Scabies: You & all of family need treatment. Ivermectin is effective (oral or topical). Clean (ie. Hot water in machine) clothes, bedding & towels. Some items can’t go in wash- place in big plastic bag & tie it up for at least 48 hrs because scabies can survive w/o being on humans for 24 to 36 hrs. Vacuum floors, carpets & upholstered furniture. Clean all hard surfaces.
