Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

With the catchy name and glowing reviews you may get suckered into buying this. Don't (and I am a real person, having scabies problems, who bought this, not someone from a competing company, as their site claims all of the negative reviews purport). The two times I have put this on the bugs actually became MORE AGGRESSIVE and bit a lot more. Pure misery. I could feel them crawling around, more active than usual, and I got more bites (which you can feel) in a short amount of time. This product must have been made for some other intent, like moisturizer, failed, and got repackaged as something that can play off people's fears and need for a solution to a bug problem. My experiences leave me wondering if those glowing reviews are people who work for the company, because I just can't believe someone 'felt them crawling around' like they were in dying agony because of this lip balm trying to call itself a bug cream. Give me a break. It has neem as one ingredient, which works ok on its own to some extent, but won't get rid of the mites (and you smell like rotting garlic). Sulphur ointment helps bring down the red welts--meaning it kills the eggs and female mites dredged into your skin--most bites flattened out within a few days, and were a slight discolored mark after about 5 days--as long as you leave it on longer than the 10 minutes the 4 oz jar recommends. I leave it on overnight, shampoo with neem in the morning along with a neem soap or sulphur soap. Nothing seems to work perfect. Reduce your clutter, put clothes in storage, only have clothes that you don't mind putting in hot wash and hot dry cycles. Mop your floor every few days (or shampoo your carpet as much as you can). Wash your linens at least once a week. If you can get an Rx for permethrin cream--get it. It works best, but you have to do all of the other home upkeep things I mentioned, because if one mite is on one shirt that you forgot to wash and dry, or you miss an area of skin with the cream (I've actually had bites on my face--which are rare but can happen). I've tried the apple cider vinegar--can't say if it really works. I just read about hot baths with salt--4 to 5 days in a row for one hour each time, 2 lbs of salt in each bath. It sounds intense, and requiring a lot of drinking water. Citric acid in a bath tub soaking for 20 minutes in warm water works reasonably well for having a decent night's sleep (I'll even put the sulphur cream on my hairline so they don't crawl on my head--though it can be harsh if you over use the it). Ivermectin works decent as well, but you should try to get the most extended dose you can, and practice clean house keeping skills. I probably got this at a cheap airbnb--just as a warning--since you trust someone to change linens and keep the place you're renting cleaned. Doesn't always happen. But don't buy "ScabiBLAST"--I feel it's cleverly marketed to desperate people who will try anything to get rid of a bug that is really difficult to get rid of. And I'll be contacting the BBB about you, ScabieBLAST poseurs. Photo below is of my neck with multiple bites that I got WHILE I HAD ScabieBLAST ON!
