Dwivedi and Sharma (1986) performed another scabies study using a very
similar plant extract concoction. The scabies treatment was 54 mL of Karanj oil
with 18 mL of garlic extract, 9 mL of lemon extract, 9 mL of onion extract, 1 g of
camphor, and 9 g of turmeric powder. Again, infected pigs had 20 mL of the drug
applied topically daily for 5 days. The results were similar to the previous study.
The healing process was observed by day 3. All of the treated pigs showed no
clinical signs of scabies for 90 days (maximum days of testing). The thickening
and wrinkling of the skin did progressively decrease over the 90 day period.
However, the 4 control pigs with scabies continued to worsen after 90-day posttreatment
(Dwivedi and Sharma, 1986)
