Where do you get the diatomaceous earth (Food grade)? I haven't heard of it but since the hurricane, many, many pestilences to deal with so think I might try that also.
Glad something worked for ya!

I used one tablespoon mixed in my milk or Orange Juice for 10 days with 10 days off for six months. No more scabies, mites, etc. I dusted myself, my whole house (wearing a dust mask, of course) with the stuff and around the outside of my house. I vacuumed indoors the following day. It's cheap and works great! Take care. ransley <[email protected]> wrote: >Daddybob, thanks for info - what is best way to take it ? - Richard< You don't *take* DE for scabies, you apply it externally. You can take food grade DE for intestinal parasites, but you never take pool grade DE internally. BTW, my own recommendations for EXTERNAL use of any actual pesticides such as Sevin (Carbaryl) or Permethrin are to be taken with a huge dose of caution. I can apply Sevin to my body but a couple of days of it made me feel woozy. I can't take skin contact with Permethrin, it irritates me and makes me itch as bad as scabies. Ode suggested an OTC Lindane medication, and I'd bet Lice Spray and/or Lice shampoo would work, but I can't have any contact with Lindane. I killed Termites in a building with Lindane once and I couldn't go back in it for a month. DB No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
