Introduction
Scabies is caused by the scabies mite known as sarcoptes
scabiei. The mites create microscopic burrows under the
skin and lay eggs there that multiply at a rapid rate resulting into bacterial
infections. This makes the immune system fragile and recovery becomes slow.
The itching generally begins 30 days after infestation
and during this no symptom period it gets transmitted to other people in the
vicinity as well. The scabies itch starts from one part of the body and spreads
to other parts due to constant rubbing and scratching.
Scabies
is a contagious infection that is known to run rampant in offices, educational institutions.
It gets transmitted through skin contact, sharing of personal belongings and
sexual intercourse with the person infested with scabies.
Treatment

There are many ways for treatment of scabies
including medicinal methods and natural alternatives. While medical methods

since allopathy makes use of various lethal chemicals that may result into
side-effects at some later stage.
Alternatively, natural medications have a healthy
impact on the body by strengthening the immune system and killing the bacteria
and viruses.
