Will uv light kill scabies

Answer 1

I don't know, but i've had it with these mites and started treatment this morning with a Verilux UV Light. I had been using the light on clothing, bed and dog beds.
Spent three weeks on the Dermisil.com sulfur soap and Tree Oil mix, and it spread near everywhere. The one thing that did work very well was soaking my feet and hands in the Sulfur - Tree Oil solution. I had gotten to the point of crusty raised calluses that cracked open. Very painful on knuckles, finger joints, foot heels and even the bottom of my feet. Those cleared up quickly though with the Dermisil soaking treatment. The full body bath though seemed to spread the mites everywhere. And yes, i did augment the bath treatment with the frequent and direct application of a Dermisil sudsing mix to the outbreak areas.

Another thing i'm trying that is showing some positive (but painful) results is scratching vigorously the raised outbreaks with a rough soaked in 90% alcohol. Yes, it really stings. But if the the sore is open, the little bastards die, and the outbreak dries up without spreading. Not fun, but that's where i'm at.

One thing is that things have gotten far worse since i started treatment. Initially the outbreak was only confined to my feet and toes. Kind of like athletes foot. And in fact, i had great success treating the itch with tinactin fungal spray. This went on for years, but it was no big deal. Something changed recently. Might have something to do with a the fact that we took in a rescue dog. Adorable, but had a mite infection on his toes that he licked raw. He's on Tea Oil and Chinese Hoe Hin White Flower Balm. Seems to work well, but symptoms return a week or so after treatment is discontinued.

Early test results on UV light indicate a drying out and shriveling effect on the outbreak areas i treated. Length of exposure was less than five seconds. I'm hopeful.
