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 post-treatment (Dwivedi and Sharma, 1986).
