Wash linens and bedclothes in hot water. Because mites don't live long away from the body, it is not necessary to dry-clean the whole wardrobe, spray furniture and rugs, and so forth.

Mites can only live off the body for up to 24-36 hours. If they are on the couch, and it would make you feel better, then spray the couch with some lysol.

My family had scabies last year and what a pain it was to get everything washed, and they also had a cream to use from the neck down.

Hope you get rid of them quickly (((((( jbug )))))))
