Scabies

[captkronos]

So if any of you have had this, you know it's a nightmare.  If you haven't, I'm gonna save you lots of heartache.  I probably got if from sex with some skanky chick, but I'm a skanky dude, so no judgement.  Anyway, if you ever DO get it, here is absolutely what works, forget everything else:

#1 spot treat with Benzyl Benzoate on a Q-tip.  You have to get it off Ebay.  It's not approved in the US to treat scabies, which tells you it probably works better than anything the Dr. will give you.

#2 Neem oil.  This stuff is a natural oil fron India.  It smells like jungle, onions, and gasoline.  I've grown to like it   You have to rub it over your body every night before bed.  Do it for at least a week.  They will tell you 3 days, trust me, a week.  

Get three sets of bedsheets and each day change them.  Wash in hot water, dry each set at least 3 times in the dryer.  

You absolutely can get it from pets, don't believe the Internet that you can't, it's just like a tick on a dog. 

Oh, and if you did get it from sex, you have man up and tell the chick you have it, because if you both don't treat at the same time, you will just pass it back and forth continually.  Stop having sex for a couple weeks until it's all gone.

Yikes!  Best wishes, captK.

It's all good, I'm clear and ready for my next mission.  I had it a couple years ago, was taking bleach water baths and all kinds of stuff.  Had it the better part of a whole summer.  You can't even hold your wanker to pee for fear it might spread from your fingers.

This reminds me of my favorite quote. I keep it with me at all times, and I often refer to it when I feel a need to bolster my spirits. I don't remember when or where I first read it, it might have been on a tube of ointment, or something, but I thought it was the most moving and beautiful thing I'd ever read: "Apply to infested area"
