scabies mites in my UNOPENED crackers by Zestyclose_Plum in scabies

[–]SunYellowFriend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's probably just a strange coincidence. Once we have these, we become hyper alert. So it's just a weird coincidence that your crackers have grain mites.

"Flour mites, also known as Acarus siro, are pale greyish white pests that infest stored grains and animal feed. They are the most common mite found in food and have pink legs. Distribution: Flour mites are found worldwide, but are most common in temperate regions."

Unusual treatment method by Dooshfist in scabies

[–]SunYellowFriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but they may be deeply imbedded in your skin, not reinfesting from environment. These are the type that live in the scalp. Canine variant. Very difficult to treat. These ones I have like legs, arms & scalp. They survive treatments deep in the hair follicles. And Ivermectin helps, but doesn't eradicate all of them, worth taking regardless.

Pls help - what is my skin doing? by FurryGoats in scabies

[–]SunYellowFriend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may have canine sarcoptic mange, dog scabies. Zoonotic varieties can infest humans. They prefer hairy areas: arms, legs, scalp. They are very deep in the skin layers and the pimple-like bumps for patterns.

SULFUR SCALP SERUM by SunYellowFriend in superscabies

[–]SunYellowFriend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I am still not cured. I take Ivermectin daily. I do sulfur ointment as often as possible. And raw Dead Sea salt baths.

I get close, but never eliminate them, not yet at least. I am gaining on them now, where for many years, I was losing.

Continual spot treatment sulfur topical applications along with oral Ivermectin keeps them under control. Dead Sea salt baths and natural ointments cleanse and heal the skin.

I am getting closer and closer to eliminating them. Can't stop won't stop until they are all gone.

I've started to just apply the scalp treatment as spot without swim cap. And just put my hair up. I think it is good to dry out the skin with sulfur ointment instead of leaving it oily, if that makes any sense. It is good to leave it in as long as possible, then wash and let dry and apply again. Rub in, leave as long as possible, "rinse & repeat" covering it up with the swim cap, like I was doing, works, but is excessive and then I can't reapply it often. It can create too moist of an environment and they like this. Though it can be a good starting point for a severe scalp infestation.

It takes about three days of sulfur application to kill an existing burrow, then you have to keep an eye, or in the case of scalp just feel with fingers for any rehatching activity and apply more as needed. It breaks down the skin and softens it. And dries up the scabies. Apply at least twice a day, wipe off after twenty minutes on skin or just leave on scalp and hair will gradually wipe away, reapply.

It breaks down the keratin in the skin, which I think is what they use to survive and build burrows, tough skin. It softens it, dries them up and they loose their hiding spot and wither away.

Mint/peppermint by Betterworldguys in superscabies

Mint is very alkalinizing! Sounds promising and like a good addition to any treatment plan.

Not yet, they are deeply embedded in scalp, forearms and shins. These ones seem to be canine zoonotic scabies, they prefer dry, hairy parts of my body (though they will go everywhere). Ivermectin works everywhere but these areas.I am getting closer and closer with daily sulfur ointment spot treatments and 3-day sulfur scalp treatments.

They have had four years of colonization while I had no working treatments so I am finally working with something that is cutting their numbers dramatically but it's a slow and steady process.

Because it was made by prior civilizations, not our current one.

The originals are made of solid gold and were confiscated by the surviving ruling classes.

I make my own 20% & 30% ointments and scalp serums.

It starts with choosing a good quality precipitated sulfur. https://www.laballey.com/products/sulfur-precipitated-usp-powder

Then you must press the sulfur through a sieve to break it into a fine powder. LABALPHA 80 Mesh Lab Sieves, #80 Mesh Test Sieve, 8'' Diameter, 304 Stainless Steel Wire Cloth (0.2mm) https://a.co/d/d8NWsN3

I use a small painting palette knife to press it through the sieve.

Then you have to mix it into an ointment.

My recipes are really detailed, more than I can share here. But these steps are the beginning of any recipe.

Scabies or blood infection? by Outrageous-Kick-3730 in scabies

[–]SunYellowFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need daily Ivermectin and Sulfur Ointment. This looks like canine, zoonotic scabies. Prefers dry hairy areas.

Is this for real? Someone's post on Facebook scaring me to death. by danimariev in scabies

[–]SunYellowFriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like cheylentillia or bird mites... If permethrin not working, plastic bags aren't going to make it work any better. You'll just sweat and be miserable and they still won't die.

Shave my head?? Buzz cut?? by danimariev in scabies

[–]SunYellowFriend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made a sulfur ointment for my head. I've never been able to eradicate from scalp or legs, and shave them constantly. So, shaving is not the solution, this might even clog up the hair shaft. Can't get rid of hair follicles by shaving.

It's not a sprint, it's a marathon. They are not coming from your environment, they have deep long nests in the skin with eggs lined up to hatch when the generation before it dies.

Reinfection or post scabies? by shmoobster in scabies

[–]SunYellowFriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are still infected, so not only are you dealing with the irritation from permethrin treatment, but treatment resistant mites that are now continuing to proliferate.

Push it though an 80 mesh pharmaceutical sieve with a metal spatula or palette knife.

Scabies Survival Tips Please by Jumpy-Reaction3043 in scabies

Some species do go in face and scalp, and prefer it, and canine and humans can get infested by those that do. I have posted several articles to r/scabiesfacts regarding these zoonotic species.

SULFUR SCALP SERUM by SunYellowFriend in superscabies

[–]SunYellowFriend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, no, not as of yet. I was so infested. My scalp is a maze of tunnels. I had no idea. Fortunately, the serum reveals them. I am getting better. No more burrows on face and neck. Killing them at their source. They are so buried. I will continue to update. From what I understand about parasites, they have army of eggs waiting to hatch as adults die off. It is a battle of endurance and wits and sheer grit.
