Bed Bug Insecticide

Many population have issues with the primary treatments which are given by doctors-and many would say quite rightly so. The strong insecticides which are routinely prescribed can have short-term unpleasant side effects which are not separate to those caused by the scabies themselves, such as itching and burning.

The three most beloved treatments are Permethrin, Lindane and Malathion.

When finding at how to kill scabies, Permethrin is the most widely prescribed treatment. The side effects comprise stinging, itching and burning.

Lindane used to be the most widely prescribed medicine for scabies but since the Fda reported a higher incidence of seizures amongst users, it has fallen out of favor. It is banned completely in 40 countries and its' use is strictly regulated in 20 others. It has been connected with an growth in leukemia in children and non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in farmers who routinely use it on cattle and grain.

The chemical Malathion, although used more for head lice, is also sometimes prescribed for scabies. There is evidence to advise that Malathion can cause headaches, dizziness, muscle infirmity and nausea and even difficulty breathing.
