So I posted about mites recently and just found out its scabbies...what would you do?
 
I was unfortunate to have a (unknowingly) scabies infested couch in my room at my fraternity house.. itches like crazy in places you never knew you had..

creams will take care of it, but steer clear of your situation if you can.
 
I am in the medical field for home health. We get exposed to this stuff often and luckily I have yet to catch it. A urgent care trip for a Rx in a cream form will have you clear in 24hrs. Dont touch anyone that you like but if you have enemies now would be a good time to give them a hug or hand shake, lol.
 
LOL @ above poster, hes talking about a customers vehicle, she called saying it was dust mites and guess the story changed and now its scabies, id stay real clear and tell her sorry due to enviromental hazards i cannot do your vehicle, you might need to take it to someone who can remove biohazards from a vehicle, that thing would need a UVC light inside of it for hours or ozone might kill them but i dunno...how do you get scabies inside of a car, how dirty can people be?
 
That car needs Elimite(permethrin 1%). Scabies is nasty, and this is onetime the sterile types seem to be true. Dirty people get scabies.
 
swanic brought up a good point, i bet you could kinda charge extra and just get some bug bombs containing pyrethrum and then vac/steam the car afterwards....but imo i would have to double charge for a vehicle like that, think of the costs of dictors bill if you get them, they are blood sucking vermin. so its up to you but imo the extra cash is not worth possibly having the worst itching/burning EVERYWHERE, places you didnt even know existed will itch.

Thats just wrong. Ive known 3 people who have gotton scabies and they were not dirty people . Anyone can get it !
 
If you get it, can't just cream it and say wala - have to dump your mattress, sheets, stuff like that too :bolt: My sister is a vet and although she is super clean - some things come with the job from time to time :/ I'd pass though bro!
 
From what I've seen first hand, I think that I would pass.

The nastiest job that I ever took on involved a 2004 Bounder in which a pressurized black tank spewed most of the contents all over the WC. There was corn kernels, bits of paper, and God know what else, stuck to every surface in the WC.

Luckily, the owner did not use the blue additive for use in black tanks and everthing came clean and the RV was sanitized.
Even though I had used two Tyvec suits, I still disposed of, and was compensated for, my shirt, jeans, and Timberlands; as I had 4 pugs at home that were my babies.

Good luck ShineTime.
 
Steam might kill them but you'd want to be in a full biohazard suit while doing it lol. Those things SUCK. I caught them once from I believe the berthing ship (i.e. where we slept) while the aircraft carrier I was on was in drydock and considered "uninhabitable" for sleeping. That meant a few thousand people shared a few hundred beds when on duty at night every few days (the rest of the time we lived off the base in hotels).

I started getting itching that I thought coincided with a detergent change or something on my part and I was literally taking benadryl for weeks until I was out at sea on temporary duty to another ship. I went to medical again and the Doc says "hey I think this is scabies". I had to use the cream and then haul ALL of my clothing and sheets down to the laundry area and have them wash everything in HOT water.
