[QUOTE="witzend, post: 209752, member: 99"] [B]Preventing reinfestation[/B] All family and close contacts should be treated at the same time, even if [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptomatic"]asymptomatic[/URL]. Cleaning of environment should occur simultaneously, as there is a risk of reinfection. Therefore it is recommended to wash and hot iron all material (such as clothes, bedding, and towels) that has been in contact with scabies infestation. Cleaning the environment should include: [LIST] [*]Vacuuming floors, carpets, and rugs. [*]Disinfecting floor and bathroom surfaces by mopping. [*]Cleaning the shower/bath tub after each use. [*]Daily washing of recently worn clothes, towels and bedding in hot water, drying in a hot dryer and steam ironing. [*]Consistently rubbing antibacterial lotion on infected areas. [*]Trying to keep infested areas covered by clothing or band aids. [*]Avoid contact with anus or genital areas, if infected, permanent damage may be caused [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
