Scabies advice?

This site was a huge help to me when I was first dx'd with H2. My best friend has been one of my biggest supporters, even though she's always been std free and didn't really know what I was going through physically. For the past 2 wks she has had insane itching and a blistered rash on her waist, forearms and thighs. She was dx'd with scabies today and was told to wash her entire house down, clothes, etc and got a script for a cream that makes her sick. She's pretty miserable and although I've been googling, I still don't know enough about it to be of help. Has anyone here experienced this before? Or have any advice? Thanks...

Oh jeeze... I have no idea ... but the CDC has this info about getting rid of them in the house as well as a bunch of other great info

Doesn't sound like she has to wash down the whole house ... they only live 3 days away from human skin :p
