- Taking our survey
- Giving us any feedback about the site and its information
Projects, Goals, & Ideas
- Develop free and simple software, or web-services, for use in scabies control. For instance: screening forms that automatically generate treatment lists, and treatment logs that automatically create lists and dates for check-backs. This could greatly reduce the organizational effort required to quell scabies outbreaks.
- If this site garners enough traffic, it might be used as a vehicle to approach the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture scabicides in order to sponsor mass treatments in areas hard-hit by scabies.
