9Scabies Prevention
The best way to avoid scabies is to reduce direct skin-to-skin contact with infected people. Also, avoid using unwashed bedding or clothing that has been used by people with scabies. Scabies mites would live for 3 to 4 days after falling off the body, so take some precautions to avoid another infestation. Wash your pillows, towels, bedding, and clothing in hot water. Also, dry them in high heat to get rid of all mites and their eggs. You should wash rather than vacuum them. Use hot water and bleach to wash for the best results. [9]
