The infection is accompanied by itchy sensations, aggravated at night, numerous rashes, which, without qualified and long-term treatment, are converted into pustules and boils.
In case of manifestation of scabies, all family members and persons in contact with the patient are sent for diagnosis to a dermatovenereologist for disinfection and preventive treatment (if possible infection is suspected).
The essence of the problem
Particular attention is given preventive measures preventing the spread of the disease, especially disinfection.
Types of processing
Current decontamination
Current disinfection can be carried out by the patient himself or by those around him, its main goal is to get rid of ticks that have multiplied among the clothes and household items of the patient. Disinfection at home begins with the isolation of the patient in a separate room, the issuance of personal linen, bedding, hygiene items and utensils.
The room must be wet cleaned daily - wash floor coverings, furniture, doorknobs and switches using a soapy soda solution. All clothing and personal hygiene items of the patient must be boiled or poured with boiling water, after washing, ironed on both sides.
Those things that cannot be boiled must be disinfected with antiseptic sprays, taken out for 5 days in the air or for a day in the cold. Children's toys, shoes, books, magazines are disinfected by placing them in airtight bags with the addition of an antiseptic. Also, all items of clothing, beds and sofas, pillows and other things can be treated with A-Par aerosol or spray. Things after processing do not require washing or washing.
In addition to the room where a family member with scabies will be placed, the entire apartment is disinfected. All surfaces and objects touched by the patient are wet treated with chloramine (5% solution) or soda solution (2%). For ongoing disinfection, spraying with A-Par aerosol can be carried out.
Disinfection inside the house can also be carried out by spraying a 2% solution of chlorophos or a 0.3% emulsion of karbofos (consumption per 1 m² of surface from 50 to 150 ml), or a 3–5% solution of lysol (0.5 l per 1 m²).
For disinfection of rooms, pollination is also used with 5% dust of acetophos or methylnitrophos, 5% dust of karbofos, pyrethrum powder (consumption of 25 g of powder per 1 m² of flooring).
To avoid re-infection of the patient, it is advisable to take the following measures:
Disinfection is carried out twice - when a disease is detected and at the end of treatment.
Disinfection of linen at home
If a person has scabies, they urgently organize a disinfecting treatment of all his clothes, bed linen, towels by boiling with the addition of washing powder or 1–2% solution baking soda at least 10 minutes. It is useful to soak bedding for a while in a solution containing chlorine:
Room processing
Final disinfection
The final disinfection is currently carried out only in public organizations, children's institutions, hospitals and dispensaries. It is carried out by employees of disinfection stations in a physical and chemical way.
Physical disinfection is boiling or chamber disinfection of clothes and bed linen. Chemical processing carried out by soaking linen in antiseptic solutions, spraying the surfaces of objects and furniture with a 0.2% solution of Medifox or Medifox Super, 0.5% Tsifox emulsion.
Final disinfection consists of the following steps:
When diagnosing scabies to treat and prevent the spread of the disease wide application received the following funds:
Thus, disinfection is an important measure to prevent the spread of scabies, significantly reducing the risk of contracting this unpleasant disease.
After recovering from scabies, a person needs to know how to handle things. Disinfection for scabies is a long and important process. Since the scabies mite is resistant to external environment and can live normally for several days in addition to human body, then the course of disinfection must be carried out immediately after the start of treatment. If you do not process the products used by the infected in time, the ticks will pass to people in contact with sick people. The process of disinfection begins immediately with the start of treatment of the patient.
Algorithm for processing things and rooms for scabies
Disinfection consists of several stages. It:
- preparation for disinfection;
- first processing;
- cleaning and washing household items;
- cleaning of premises;
- post-treatment treatment.
Preparation for disinfection
To get rid of scabies mites, a temperature of 60 degrees and 1 hour of time is required. Subject to the rules of disinfection, the scabies mite, after 5 days, will die. But before processing utensils, decide whether they are needed in the future. Unnecessary belongings are easier to throw out or burn, because tick larvae and adults live on them.
Scabies disinfection is an important process.
Gloves must be used during handling. The first stage of processing utensils is preparatory. It is important to buy a pair of gloves at the pharmacy, and rubbish bags at the supermarket. It is imperative to prepare 2 sets of removable linen, headwear and bath accessories (for each family member). Put this good separately for each. After sleep, the linen on which they slept should also be changed every day. The same is done with the outfits that were worn during this time. The garment must be washed and ironed. Can the laundry be soaked in hot water for 1 hour using a chlorine solution or boil for 10 minutes with powder.
First processing
On the day of the start of treatment, change bed and underwear, wash. Prepared sets of clothes and bath accessories should be placed so that they are in direct access, but do not come into contact with contaminated clothing. Every day, patients should change clothes and bedding, and then wash with funds. Take out mattresses, pillows, blankets daily in frost / sun. Avoid contact of the infected person with soft toys, and toys with the residents of the house.
Handling is part of the disinfection process for scabies mites. But necessary measures take when there are no children and animals in the room. Since treatment with agents (chlorine-containing disinfectants, Spregal spray and A-Par, Medifox or Permethrin preparations) is unsafe for people and animals. soda though safe remedy but you have to follow the safety rules.
Cleaning and washing products
After drying, it is recommended to swallow the products. The second stage is the washing of a household item infected with a scabies mite. Process products that people used 3 days before the start of treatment for scabies. For this, the garments are placed in washing machine with washing powder. The water temperature is 60 degrees. Washing time - up to half an hour. It is better to dry in the sun. After drying, you can, if desired, iron the washed.
There are items that you don't want to wash. You can read about this on the tag of each product. Put such products in a sealed garbage bag and seal tightly. Without access to the human body and skin, after 1-3 days, the scabies mite will die. Only after 3 days the decoration can be reused. In addition, an iron with a steam mechanism will help. Iron the product on both sides.
Mattresses, pillows, blankets, if it is not possible not to use them, it is better to take them out in the sun or frost for a day. If it is possible to place these bulky products in freezer- quite a couple of hours. You can also use A-Far. Outerwear better to put it outside. Direct sunlight and frost affect scabies mites, destroy them at positive temperatures in 3-5 days, and at frosty temperatures - in 1-3 days. After processing, it is required to ventilate the room. To wash bedding and underwear, you can also use a 1-2% soda solution. Keep boiling for 10-20 minutes.
Be sure to clean the room and disinfect from the tick.
Indoor cleaning - milestone disinfection from scabies mite. After all, the scabies mite is able to live in the external environment for a couple of days. He lives on upholstered furniture, soft toys, clothes, carpets, etc. Special cleaning to get rid of scabies mites is not necessary. Enough of the usual cleaning. But it is better to pour chlorine-containing disinfectants or a 1-2% soda solution into the water. Treat door handles, window sills, furniture, switches with a hot soapy-soda solution or a chlorine-containing agent. It is mandatory to process products, wash floors, vacuum soft things, carpets, and wipe surfaces wet wipe. Disinfect in the bathroom, drains, sinks and inventory. After each meal, thoroughly wash the dishes, and if necessary, boil for about 15 minutes. All robots do only in gloves.
When cleaning the room, be sure to pay attention to the toys that the child comes into contact with. On the smooth surfaces ticks do not live. So just wash them. Also place soft creations in a bag and seal tightly. You can throw it outside for a while under direct sun or place it in frost. You can also put this stuff in the freezer. The duration of the procedure is about a week.
Bed bugs got their name because of their localization. They are also called linen, bed, household, room. Despite the fact that ordinary-looking insects do not represent mortal danger, their appearance in the apartment is comparable to natural disaster. extremely difficult. Even if the entire population is destroyed, and one fertilized female remains, the colony will recover in 30-45 days. Therefore, the treatment of things and clothes from bedbugs is a mandatory item in the pest control program.
How do bedbugs get into an apartment, house
Bedbugs are small in size, they are predetermined by satiety and can vary between 3-8 mm. A hungry insect has a flattened body shape, which provides it with protection from mechanical impact. Impresses only the blood of humans or warm-blooded animals.
On a note!
It is not always possible to reliably identify the cause of the appearance of pests. The myth that bloodsuckers choose premises with unsanitary conditions as their habitat has long been dispelled. Bedbugs are equally likely to be found in a luxurious mansion and in a dilapidated barracks.
There are several ways pests enter the house:
Due to the nature of his work, he often travels on business trips. Hotels come across different, in some traces of bloodsuckers are visible to the naked eye. The wife is worried that bed bugs on clothes will get home. Therefore, in order to prevent insect attempts to enter the suitcase, I always keep it closed. Upon arrival home, the spouse immediately shifts all the things into a large hermetically sealed bag and hangs them in the closet only after washing.
Vladislav, Moscow
If a wardrobe, a chest of drawers with things is located near the recreation area, then the probability of finding pests in the wardrobe is quite high. An insect could get into the apartment on the brought clothes and settle directly on it, especially if the thing is not in daily demand.
The second option, why bedbugs live in things, is the large population. forces the younger generation to look for new habitats. Dark corners, joints between pieces of furniture become an ideal refuge for them.
Most often, bedbugs are found in clothes made of synthetic fabrics. On such material it is easier for the pest to move. They do not deprive their attention of natural fabrics. Sleeping accessories, pajamas with the smell of a person are of the greatest interest.
On a note!
Bedbugs in clothes made of wool, in fur products do not linger. Their paws are not adapted for movement in a thick woolen cover and the insect tries to quickly leave an uncomfortable place for it.
After successfully getting rid of head lice, it is important to disinfect all items in the house, including combs, combs, bedding and personal items. Treatment for lice and nits is an integral part of anti-pediculosis measures.
If you skip this stage, the risk of relapse is likely. Fallen nits will again crawl onto a person and begin to multiply.
Is it possible to independently carry out disinfection at home, or only a sanitary and epidemiological station will help in this matter, we will find out further.

How to handle things and toys

In what form are the preparations used for the treatment
In pharmacies and shops household chemicals they sell a lot of drugs that promise to get rid of insects in a short time. Not all are easy to use, many are toxic and are not suitable as a disinfectant for rooms where small children live.
Briefly consider the form of release and the effect of each type of insecticide.
- Preparations in the form of dust (powder). Inconvenient to use. They can penetrate the respiratory tract of animals and humans, provoking the development of an allergic reaction. It is difficult to apply in the processing of bedding and toys;
- Poisonous substances in the form of ointments, gels and creams are also impractical to use as room disinfection. The oils contained in the chemical leave marks on clothing;
- The use of sprays and aerosols is the most convenient and effective method processing apartments, furniture and clothing. During the application of the aerosol, skin contact with the poisonous substance is excluded. Respiratory organs must be protected with protective equipment;
- A solution prepared on the basis of a concentrated chemical. The inconvenience lies in mixing the drug in the right proportions, otherwise the method is effective and efficient;
The pencil is not suitable as a means of treating furniture from lice. In the absence of a chemical, it is allowed to use an anti-pediculosis shampoo, which is used to wash the hair, diluting it in water and applying it to the surface.
Chemicals
Demanded and trusted by consumers are recognized chemicals containing active substances pyrethroids, chlorpyrefos, cypermethrin.
Effectively process things and the apartment:
To disinfect the bed, pillows, carpet, it is necessary to carry out Veda, Ithax, Nyx. These funds have a high activity against linen lice.
In order to destroy pests from the hairline, the head should be treated with Hellebore water or chemical medicines - Nyuda, Paranit, Pediculin.
Self-treatment from lice or disservice?
In case of severe infection of the object and no result from independent measures, call a special service.
Qualified disinfectors, armed with high-performance equipment, will carry out disinfection activities in one stage. In their work, they use a fog generator that sprays a poisonous substance in the form of a cloud.
For all work, a conscientious company provides warranty. Deadline - up to three months. The warranty is valid subject to the recommendations of the disinfector.
All drugs used in the work are certified and have high activity against bloodsucking.
A note about pediculosis
The head may itch for another reason - the healing of erosive lesions. The wounds seize with a crust, the tissues tighten and itching occurs.
If after anti-pediculosis measures you find an egg, try crushing it. Nits click - it means they are alive. It is necessary to carry out a double persecution of pests with an interval of 7 days.
It is important to observe preventive anti-pediculosis measures in order to prevent re-infection. Treatment of living quarters and household items is an integral step that will speed up recovery.
The specific smell of clothes purchased in warehouses and second-hand shops makes many people wonder how second-hand things are processed. And some people even ask whether things are dangerous after such processing, and whether such processing is harmful to the health of those who buy them. This peculiar odor is familiar to everyone who has ever gone into outlets, where they sell used items, and for many it is one of the main factors repelling purchases.
1 Disinfectants
There is nothing shameful in buying such clothes. They sell both used and completely new things with tags, which for some reason did not suit their owners. Sometimes you can find products from famous brands clothes and shoes that will give a personal touch and allow you to buy an exceptional piece of clothing at a ridiculous price compared to the prices of new items.
Compliance with such standards also includes checking at customs the concentration of chemical fumes to ensure that the percentage indicated on the export certificate corresponds to the actual percentage of concentration of the emitted chemical fragrance. So, ideally, there is no danger of infection or a chemical threat to health in imported clothes.
2 Steam and chamber processing
You can find out exactly how the imported goods were processed in the certificate, which should be in the hands of a trading organization or entrepreneur. If things were imported from a country with increased level bacteriological and viral infection, then the treatment is carried out by a special method of chemical spraying in chambers that are hermetically sealed at the time of disinfection. In this case, formaldehyde or methyl bromide is most often used. In many countries there are special factories that sort, disinfect and pack so-called products in special hermetic bags, in which case the trading organization is obliged to ventilate the unpacked items so that they do not spray toxins in rooms where there are many people. On the positive side, in the occluded space, the already processed material is automatically re-processed.
Steam processing of things
The steam method is used in cases where things can be irreparably damaged in another way. These include furs and sheepskin coats, leather and suede items, shoes and bags. They are simply processed at a lower temperature of the steam, while the first category is under red-hot steam. Although lowering the temperature does not always help, and things arrive at retail outlets irretrievably lost: crumpled to the point of non-ironing, shrunken up and down, with damaged fur or woolen weaving.
3 Combat odor
many potential buyers good things at a relatively inexpensive price are stopped by the specific smell of hand-me-downs from clothes, which soaked through the shops. You can remove a kind of fragrance in several proven ways. Many regular customers of these stores know perfectly well how to clean bad smell second hand clothes. There are several reliable and proven methods:
- dry cleaning (for upper and delicate ones like cashmere);
- repeated washing in flavored detergents;
- single wash with airing in the cold;
- soaking in a solution of ammonia;
- rinsing after washing in vinegar solution;
- placement in a separate compartment of the wardrobe, where aromatic sachets or special air vents are stored;
- careful ironing with a steamer or a special steamer.
It is not very easy to remove the peculiar smell of a hand from things, but it is quite possible. It is sometimes almost impossible to remove sometimes unnoticed stains, because of which the owner refused the thing, and the seller discounted it.
The world is divided into 3 categories of consumers. Some categorically deny the possibility of buying used items, others buy them with fanatical persistence to save money and look decent, others visit stores in the company of fans and sometimes even buy a couple of things, while carefully hiding the origin of what they bought. As in any controversial issue, this one has its own arguments and counter-arguments that convince and do not convince opponents and supporters. The former talk about the possibility of infection, the latter about disinfection. Then opponents talk about the dangers of disinfection, and supporters about certificates and international standards. It is customary to talk in a half-whisper about cases of terrible infections from acquired socks or hats, or simply to think about how to remove the second-hand smell from clothes. There is nothing shameful in buying this kind, provided that the thing is of high quality, practically new, and at the same time inexpensive and purchased in a decent store where it has a certificate, it is guaranteed to be ventilated and ironed, without stains or damage.
