treating scabies

Treating scabies has been done for a very long time. More than three thousand years ago, written in the Bible, are verses pointing to scabies. Aristotle, the noted philosopher, wrote about many things, and it is believed that he was writing about scabies when describing this condition, even though he never used the name. So it is interesting that scabies is truly an ancient condition. As bad as scabies is today, back when the treatment was not as good, it must have been miserable for many people. Without antihistamines to use for treatment, the extreme itching must have been almost unbearable. To get scabies today isn’t nearly as big a deal, since modern medicine treats it quite successfully.
