Treatment
An ectoparasitic aerosol, spot-on, shampoo, powder or dip can be used to
get rid of the larvae. *
In patients that develop
severe irritation there may be an allergic reaction to the mite larvae, in which
case a corticosteroid (eg prednisolone) may be helpful to reduce the irritation.
If
untreated the larvae will feed for a few days then drop off.
*
Few products have been licensed specifically for use in the treatment of
harvest mite larvae, and ectoparasitic products vary in different countries -
but there are a range of different products available.that the veterinary
profession can recommend.
