Abstract
[3] This experimental study, conducted at Siriraj Hospital, Thailand, aimed to identify the optimal heat and exposure time needed to destroy scabies mites and their eggs. Because this study did not involve human subjects, certificate of approval from the Institutional Review Board was not required. [6] Another previous study demonstrated that all scabies mites were found dead after incubating at 50°C for 10 minutes to 2 hours when incubating at 50°C.[5] However, this study demonstrated that almost all mites were still alive after incubating at 50°C for 10 min. [...]at 50°C, the shortest time that all mites were dead was 30 minutes which should be the optimal time for a scabicidal effect of heat. [...]our study highlights that a temperature of at least 50°C for 35 minutes is sufficient to destroy the itch mites and their eggs.
