Getting Rid of Scabies - no nasty chemicals included

The eggs can get left behind with the first treatment and after a few days those same eggs will hatch into larvae. A few days after that the larvae becomes the mites, giving you the problem all over again. Therefore, it is vital that a second treatment is done to ensure that the scabies are eliminated. This is a common mistake made by many people who are looking at getting rid of scabies, they only do one treatment and the scabies return and the whole process has to be done again. The first treatment will not have had any real benefit.

Get rid of the scabies first time, treat everyone once and then wait between 7 and 10 days and treat again.

Anyone who has come into contact, that's skin-to-skin contact, with the infected person must be treated to prevent re-infestation. All family members living in the same household most definitely need treating. Then it's a case of working out who else has been in close contact. Think about this carefully.

Close skin contact is needed for example a quick handshake probably would not be enough to pass them on, but a prolonged handshake would. I know that it's a hard subject to approach with people particularly if they are not family members but you do run the risk of being infected again if not. This is a risk that you may choose to take - I will leave this decision in your hands.
