One of the most highly effective ways to get rid of scabies mites is to sanitize your skin. The unique thing to understand about this particular mite is that it is parasitic in nature and it cannot survive without the human body. It not only needs the warmth of the body to survive, it also requires the nutrition it derives from your body to stay alive. The other unique thing about this mite is that an infestation with scabies can go undetected for as long as a month or maybe even longer. The reason for this is that the itching does not really start till then. The first two or three generations of scabies mites cannot bite you and cause itching. This particular trait is only unique to this particular mite. So when you have begun to scratch and have determined that you are suffering from scabies mites, you should also know that they have been residents of your body for a full month or even maybe a lot more. To begin with getting rid of the scabies mite, wash your entire body in a sulfur based shampoo. These are easily available over the counter and do not require a prescription of any kind. You must wash your body at least three times a day in this shampoo and hot water. This will automatically discourage the mites from growing in strength as well as numbers. Keep in mind that these mites cannot survive in hot water!
You can also take a sauna. This dry heat will also be very successful in killing the mites. If you can find it, add orange oil to the sauna. The citrus properties of this oil will help in sanitizing your skin and killing the mites as well. You can also make a perfume pillow of orange oil and keep it in your bed at all times. Fold a large hand kerchief and put a few drops of oil on it. This can be kept in all corners as well as the middle of your bed. This is a highly effective way of making sure you discourage these mites from strengthening. You must also make it a point to wash all your clothing and bedding in hot water to which you have added an anti septic liquid every day. This is extremely painful and will cause too much discomfort, but you must try to do this for at least a week for effective results.
