Scabies - Dealing with Clothes?


If I placed all my clothes in a box and left it in a room for a week, would the scabies mites in the clothes die without me having to wash and dry them? I heard they die after a few days when away from a human body.

Jeeezzusss.... you are asking if you can kill scabies without having to wash and dry your clothes?

Wow, you really need to reconsider your approach. I would suggest boiling the clothes and spraying them with permethrin... same with all your bedding, couch, carpet, coats, pets, anything that might harbor the filthy critters.

I would treat them the same as head lice at least put them in the dryer my son got them from school easy to catch

I would at least put them in a hot dryer. ( But if it was me, I would wash them.)
