If you are pondering a fast way to kill scabies, you have likely come across all kinds of misleading information and advice online. Some websites will proclaim things like tea tree oil are an effective treatment for scabies, this is very untrue as tea tree oil is simply a antiseptic and antibacterial oil. Tea tree oil can help your skin in the post scabies period but is far from being a scabies killer. Then you have treatments like permethrin that is useful to some people in aiding them to cure their scabies but other people are reporting that the scabies seem to be resistant to the permethrin creams. Permethrin can also be very dangerous to your skin as it contains pesticides and incesticides that can lead to neurological problems and even skin cancer. This is why it is smart to treat your scabies using a natural cure, this will help you avoid further medical problems associating with products used to kill scabies.

There are increasing reports of people having problems with the traditional treatments prescribed to them by their doctor to treat scabies. Some of these products are Kwelleda-P, Nix, Lindane, Malathion and Permethrin creams. There have been many people reporting short term effects and long term effects after using these types of products, some of the short term effects are copy cat of the actual scabies symptons. The thing that is worrying many people are the reports of long term effects that are leading to much more serious conditions.

The three most common treatments are Permethrin, Malathion and Lindane.

The most commonly used treatment used to kill scabies is permethrin which comes in different brands and applications. It includes alot of side effects such as itching, burning and stinging of the skin, these are the short term effects that this permethrin chemical can have on your skin. Alot of people would do anything pretty much to rid scabies and this leads to such a huge demand for permethrin, this is why people are experiencing long term effects because they are willing to do almost anything to cure the scabies before investigating a little further to find natural cures.

Permethrin derives from Pyrethrum, which is a very common ingredient in insecticides and this is why alot of people would prefer to stay away from the stuff and find other treatments. You dont want to put insecticides on your lawn, why would you want it on your skin! Permethrin is also said by some to be a carcinogen which is extremly dangerous, not only to the skin but your neurological system.

Lindane once was the most commonly prescribed cure for scabies until the FDA reported lots of seizure incidents amontst infected scabies people who used it. Lindane was recently banned completely from 40 countries and had its use regulated in 20 other countries, this is a sure sign to be careful what you use to eradicate the scabies mite. It has also been associated with diseases such as non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and Leukemia, these are some more reasons why to look for alternative scabies treatments.

Malathion has been used more for head lice then scabies as it is known to cause shortness of breath, headaches, muscle weakness and nausea.

When these products are used properly, they will kill off scabies but it is unknown if this will bring on more disease or illness. Increasingly nowadays, many people are using natural remedies to cure their scabies which results in less or no side effects. So before you go ahead and treat your scabies it mite be worth taking a further look into other alternatives that will not do your body more harm.
