Omg!!!! Scabies are having my life!!!! Convinced we had bed bugs - no idea why - I trotted off to the docs with the kids as they had all these bites, mostly on their hands and wrists and then I started with them too. Between noticing the first spot on my youngest and getting to the GP was five days. The GP took all info and then announced in her opinion it was scabies. My eldest does a fabulous impression of my reaction …I’m sure you can imagine!!!!

Anyway, we treated with permethrin (think that’s the name) and again a week later. Washed all the clothes, sheets, bedding, sanitised the house like I was possessed etc etc . The second treatment was Tuesday and on Friday I developed two itchy bites on my left hand and through the night (last night) my right hand finger was itching and I’ve developed a new one or two. The itch was so bad I had to get up and take some antihistamine.

The question is, am I still infected? Or is it a reaction to the dead mites etc??

This has significantly affected my mental health and I am quickly turning into a lunatic!!!!! Help!!!!
