I searched about scabies on the forum and found nothing, so here is my story, maybe it can be useful for others.
It felt like this :

It wasn't shingles in my case but I was in the same state of mind- I'm obliged to accept this thing, so let's explore and look for the causes.
It lasted ten days, moreless. The first day it was only small pimples below the neck on the chest. It was itching in the night, before sleeping. I thought it was some kind of allergy or food problem. So I did nothing.
The second and third day, I had more and more pimples on the inner side of the arms. I didn't knew what to do with it and it was quite surprising, because with the keto diet, supplements, sauna etc I'm not used to be sick.
But after three days, I knew I had to find a solution. When I had pimples between the fingers, and intense itching in the night, I thought of scabies, because two months before my sister had it. It began actually four months before, with only little pimples between the fingers, and she took ivermectin/stromectol to treat it. It was not extended everywhere on the skin like in my case (more impressive and a little scary).
I did a quick search and found some essentials oils, but at the fourth and fifth day I had pimples everywhere. Back, feet, thighs, belly, chest, arms, and especially hands... The itching was intense and I couldn't sleep for a few nights.
So I had to do something about it. I thought that natural treatments would kill quickly the mites, but that was not all.
I did saunas, put DMSO, took salt bathes (releaving the itching), and had to do some research. I found that sulfur was used to treat scabies before antibiotics (sulfur thermal sources). So I tried a garlic paste along with essential oils. Eventually, I went to see the doctor and took ivermectin/stromectol, but nothing else. Some doctors say everyone in the family should take ivermectin/stromectol, some say that only ascabiol should be used on the skin.
Also there was a lot of contradictory infos, about what to do, what to clean in the house, the effect of heat and cold on the mites, and so one.
I read a lot of horror stories about families who couldn't get rid of it for months. I thought that during a social crisis without much medical aid, it would be awful.
I searched about natural immunity and why some people wouldn't be infected. I still don't know why. Also, there are epidemic cycles of 30/40 years that could imply an immunity. But apparently, if you had it once you can still have it again and again.
The days following the ivermectin, I had a lot of small blisters covering very large portions of the skin, especially on the hands. I thought it didn't worked and I took all the alternative treatments I could find :
- salt bath every day (I have not found epsom salts at that time)
- neem oil (mixed with macadamia and jojoba oil)
- fresh aloe vera
- liposomal vit. C + supplements (zinc, etc)
- bone broth
- essential oils : mainly tea tree and clove oil (+ ylang-ylang, orange, roman chamomile, lavender, lantana, blue tansy - I forgot lemon litsea). [mixed with the neem oil/macadamia base]
essential oil replaced ascabiol, which I thought could be dangerous.
- diatomaceous earth (i tried it once, but didn't found an easy way to use it).
Also, I washed my clothes and sheets at 60 degrees celsius everyday -, and changed my mattress.
After one week oiling myself constantly (to kill all the mites on the skin) I felt that I've learned my lesson and that the mites were not useful anymore. It is a very disturbing feeling to know that mites are creeping and laying eggs beneath your skin, I had enough of it.
I still don't know how I got it. My sister had it more than two months earlier, and no one else in the family had it. Two month is more than the average incubation period.
The doctors I saw told me that if someone is infected in a bus or train, and if you sit at the same place just after, you can be infected too.
Also, before the first pimples, I had a strange feeling of dread, like suddenly if someone was hiding and looking at me.
Anyway, I think the ivermectin/stromectol worked, but would had prefered to be able to treat it naturally. I just was fed up. But still, I didn't put ascabiol on my skin.
Now, ten days after the first pimples, the only thing I have is redness on my skin, which will be all gone in a few days.
I'm happy it was only scabies and not morgellons ! http://www.sott.net/article/234663-Morgellons-Disease-and-The-Quantum-Leap-of-Awareness
So, maybe that my story will help if any of you have the same thing - I hope not! It is not a serious illness, but it's still annoying and perhaps very annoying if it lasts long. Parasites are very nasty!
