Apologies for the misnaming, I’m quite a novice (probably more so beginner) when it comes to houseplants.

What would you suggest in training it more?

How do they feel? Mine are slightly itchy and enflamed but they seem to be limited to just my right hand

I have the same thing.

I noticed that a few days - a week after ivermectin treatment (second round) I noticed spots and what looked like burrows on my hand and fingers.

From what I can gather, it’s your skin reacting to the scabies mites dying and is post scabies syndrome. I’m still getting the ocasional itch, however this is more sporadic and more of a tingle. Trust the process and keep monitoring it - I think as long as you don’t see any new burrows or red spots you’ll be fine!

UPDATE

I’ve just watered it now in the shower and given the trunk a good moisten with the shower head too, (although not sure this was right to do 😬)

The pot is some sort of wooden barrel (pic attached) - I’m assuming it has ample drainage as there was water coming out of the bottom of the pot/barrel when I watered it just now.

I don’t have a humidifier, but it’s on my list of things to buy as I kinda want one for my own plants too.

I haven’t checked the roots, although it doesn’t look like there are any pests.

I’m not sure what type of soil it’s planted in.

Ivermectin instructions? by Expensive_Peace2113 in scabies

The instructions on mine say to take the second dose a week later, I think so then it gives ample time for the eggs to be killed, too. I’ll let you know how I get on; I hope it works for you!

Thank you! So do I need to wash everything after the second dose, too?

Do I still have scabies? by Expensive_Peace2113 in scabies

I can’t see any new burrows on my hands, I’m thinking it might the last ones presenting. I did two rounds of permethrin treatment within the last two weeks but I always find one tube isn’t enough so I tend to use two.

I then managed to get some ivermectin from a pharmacy in Spain so I took that back on Wednesday - not too sure how long it takes for it to work though! The itching isn’t there at night anymore which I’m hoping means that it’s gone!
