can this product be used for mites in humans?

Yes. Some forms of mange (the mites) are transferable to humans. There is nothing in the formula that would hurt a human. It is just the 3 ingredients: sulfur, camphor (the strongest odor you smell), and mineral oil. It is the consistency of Desitin ointment and must be shaken vigorously to keep it mixed. Now that my dogs are clear, I have used it on my contact dermatitis with wonderful results. I also hear that it can be used on acne, any rash, any itchy condition. Use it sparingly...it goes a long way. If it gets too thick, you can thin it with baby oil. If you prefer less of a greasy feel, you can put a small amount in a dish and mix in a bit of corn starch. I hope this helps.

Maybe. Doesn't even work for psoriasis, but eases the itch. apparently it kills head lice, a quick Google reveals.

Absolutely! It's a blend of essential oils in a fractionated coconut oil carrier. It actually soothes bites and stings when put directly on the skin! If you put a few drops on pulse points, it gives even more overall protection from bugs!

I would imagine that you could, but why would you want to? The product is formulated to reduce sun damage and you would be creating further sun damage. Do you want better skin or tan skin? Every tan damages skin cells. Why not use a facial skin tanner?

I don't know exactly what ACARIL is; however, this works very well for my allergies. I am allergic to my cat, who sleeps in my bed, sometimes under the sheets, and when I wash my bedding frequently, I have no problems with my allergies, which are severe. Without this my eyes itched terribly, but they do not at all right after I wash my sheets. I used to work in a surgery center, and they use this to wash the curtains that separate the beds several times a year. I highly recommend it.

Just about any shampoo should kill the mites on the surface but a great home remedy for mites:Rub an over-the-counter acne cream over the affected areas. Check the label to be certain the medication's active ingredient is benzoyl peroxide. A 5 percent concentration should be enough to kill any surface mites. Apply the acne cream three times a week for 2 weeks.

Product is basically used for psoriasis sufferers, usually does not effect the face, so I would say no, not for the face.

I don't know. I used it for skin treatment on my face. Some discomfort but it worked. I have tinea versicolor.

It did work... but sulfur mixed in organic coconut oil also can manage mites and skin eruptions.

The literature with the product did not mention dust mites.Their customer service may be able to help. www.hospitologyproducts.com

It kills mites on contact and they are very hard to kill, over the counter products for lice are not as strong as what is needed for mites, so I would say "Yes"-it cleared the mites out!

I would say "yes". My good friend who has always used it says it works on dust mites and hair lice. It works on any bug with an exoskeleton. I've also used it with cinnamon and peppermint for spiders in the 100+ year old house I live in. This stuff is awesome. Be sure to use on pets and their bedding. Fleas hate it.

I'm not sure if it does...it worked pretty good for my dog but i think she has deeper ear infection than this could cure. The only thing I've tried for ear mites that worked was memetamax (sp?). Its prescription

It says it does. I did not have thought so I am not sure.. It worked so so with Mites

I wouldn't use this product on any part of the body. When I used it, my hands were covered with allergies. You can use some aloe Vera gel from any of the drug store or use some lime and sugar scrub to get rid of the tan and see results in a week.

If you use the soap regularly you should be able to interfere with the regular life cycle of the adult mites much like the fungus and acne it is more commonly used for. The mites are more hardy than bacteria and fungus thus you should try to be diligent and use the soap at least once per day, preferably in the morning for your particular affliction (as the mites come out in the dark to mate and make eggs). Other people have had success using sulphur on the scalp but there could be irritation so be sure to rinse well. Sulphur is a naturally occuring germicide chemical and you can get it in this bar of soap.

No, I don't believe so, Bryan. I have always used it for ear infections in my dogs. It works great! But I think there are other meds that cater to ear mites.
