Suggest Remedy For Lice And Itching On All Over The Body

F or a year I ve been itchy. Thinking it was from a chair I bought at a Good Will store, I kept it covered. Long story short: I have a serious case of lice. They are even in my toothbrush which I have discarded, of course. They are everywhere! Now I m getting bites on my body and when I scratch I see, thur a magnifying glass, lice and eggs. They are in everything I have touched. Are they lice? I am treating myself with the lice kit from drug store. They are in my nose and I have the bumps on my face which I think are lice (?) under my skin. I live in the woods in a cabin that has knotty pine paneling. What to do???

Hi,it seems you have scabies. In any case, if I were your treating Doctor for this case of severe itching due lice or tics,acarus , I would come up with Benzyl benzoate , it should be applied to all body,then when it is dry repeat,leave for 30 min, then repeat after 7 days. Also you take Spregal,it is a aerosol bottle of lotion used for topical treatment of scabies, you can spread it not only for your body instead Benzyl benzoate, but also spread on the chair, sofa and other infected areas. Wash and change bedsheets ,iron them, iron your clothes.
