Mange mites in pigs
for chronic mange you can give every 5 to 7 days for up to 4 weeks. It is hard to overdose on Ivomec. For a "normal" case of mange you give two doses about 10-14 days apart and that is it. From then on you will want to worm your piggy twice a year (spring & fall) as a precautionary measure.
It usually takes that second dose to get the larva stage of the mites that haven't hatched yet. BUT, make sure you do it twice -14 days apart!
It is a good idea to change bedding when you are done with the 2nd dose even though the medication will kill any new mites picked up.
Can a human get mange? If so, what would it be like? Mange on a human is usually an itchy red rash...REALLY ITCHY!! You shouldn't have to worry too much about that as most cases on humans happen when the pig is really loaded with it and people take them to bed with them. The mites don't like us as well as the pigs so it's usually a light case and will go away on it's own with simple nothing.
They really don't like us too well and will leave on their own. Washing with alcohol might help with the itching.
