1.	Scabies (Sarcoptic Mange) 09/01/2000 - "Those who were not cured were then treated with 1% lindane lotion topically, as were the prison staff who had scabies. " 03/01/2008 - "CONCLUSIONS: The California experience suggests that elimination of pharmaceutical lindane produced environmental benefits, was associated with a reduction in reported unintentional exposures, and did not adversely affect head lice and scabies treatment. " 03/01/2008 - "In 2002, California banned pharmaceutical use of lindane because of concerns about water quality, as lindane treatment for head lice and scabies was found to be a significant factor adversely affecting wastewater quality. " 01/01/2007 - "Lindane lotion, approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of scabies and lice, poses risks of serious adverse effects on the nervous system.
