Scabies: 1st, you & all members of family need to be treated. Ivermectin is effective for treating scabies (oral or topical). 2nd, you’ll have to clean (ie. Hot water in machine) clothes, bedding & towels you have come in contact w. Some things like pillows can’t go in the wash- put them in a 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.
