Pet Peeves

I stumbled across Permethrin cream ... yes, a cream that you " Rub thoroughly into all skin folds, between fingers and toes, under nails, and around the groin and buttocks; do not just put it on the rash. " Furthermore, it is 5% Permethrin, while the stuff you put on clothes only is 0.5%! An order of magnitude greater and you put it on your skin!

Apparently the cream is about the only thing that will get rid of scabies. Prescription only!

I think I just lost my fear of the clothes spray bottle dripping ... and will consider spraying clothes while wearing them, which is a big no-no on the label. I'll stop short of putting it on my skin

How times change.

Back in the day I used Kwell to knock down the scabies I'd contracted via casual sex; now Kwell is not recommended as its active ingredient, lindane, is deemed too dangerous.

Next time I bang a hot looking woman with a penchant for scratching herself I'll know what I need to end the resulting scabies infection.

FWIW of all the STD's I had during my halcyon days scabies was perhaps the weirdest, what with little mites burrowing under my skin, leaving "trails" showing their progress and location ...and that itch...

Nasty.
