ABSTRACT
In Egypt, Sarcoptes scabiei is the most prevalent mites infesting man in overcrowded and poorly hygienic areas. Many effective acaricidal regimens are available, but as compounds used as insecticides. With the success of camphor oil in the treated human demodicidosis, it was applied for treating human scabies. Camphor oil with or without glycerol dilutions gave a complete cure with concentrations of 100%, 75% and 50% within five to ten days
