Here’s a weird trick: Scabies mites are nocturnal partiers. They love to dance under cover of darkness. So, if you wake up at 3 AM with your nails digging into your waistline like you’re trying to excavate diamonds, that might mean survivors are still throwing raves.
But—and this is the kicker—your skin’s nighttime freak-out can also be a phantom itch. Your brain has been conditioned to expect torture. If you don’t scratch for three nights straight, you’re probably cured. If you scratch like a werewolf on a full moon, you might need to reapply the scabicide. Use a calendar, not your hopes.
