Wow! I just spent 5 hours with my Mum. Reading, researching, learning, deciding and formulating a plan of action for her.

We have decided that most likely it is Scabies. All the pictures look the same. All the symptoms look the same.

If its not scabies, then the treatment we have chosen will probably cover whatever it is anyway.

I did get her an OTC scabies medicine, but will not use that chemical rubbish on my lovely Mum.

She will use a topical lotion which she is making up with Tea tree oil, neem oil and oregano oil mixed into olive oil, which is as per recommended. Googling that combo brought up plenty of hits….seems that is good alternative medicinal practice!
We had to figure out what quantities to use.

Scabies should also be tackled internally to, because of the eggs and larvae. After much reading (and to my amazement) we decided to play it safe and use an anti-parasitic medicine for that.

Humaworm ordered! LOL. My mum doing a parasite cleanse! What have I done!

By the end she was wanting to do a Liver flush too…..and I was like…..one thing at a time love….

She will have to detox the house, the dog will get some treatment too. my Dad, don’t know, extremely unlikely he will get involved, but that’s out of my hands.

I also gave her a big pot of Coconut oil to start, eating with, Oil Pulling with and massaging with. Her skin has become very dry.

I must say a great big thank you to all those that replies to the post. Seeing the feedback was so important. Lots of great ideas.

Carol specifically thanks for sharing your experiences and for urging action asap. You are a star!

She was not having any of my detox baths though! Heat is too much.
