I've been suffering with mites and I've found that Dead Sea salts helps a lot with the itching. I put about a cupfull in a hot bath. Soak in the bath for 20 to 40 mins. I use anti-bacteria soap and rinse using a face cloth. I've lost found that after the bath and drying smother your whole body in olive oil and rub rigorously and you can feel like grit coming out of your skin. Then I jump in a warm shower and wash the oil off with a mix of 50-50 diluted apple cider vinegar and water and wipe your whole body down with a face cloth. The bath will open the pores, the oil will remove food source and vinegar will put body's ph balance to correct levels and prevent itching, also kills fungus and bacteria. Vicks vapour rub is also amazing but be prepared to feel really cold after. Hope this helps someone. Yes use on your hair too.
