The purpose of this project is to develop a community scabies eradication and education
program for the highly endemic areas surrounding the Veron community on the eastern tip of
the Dominican Republic. It proposes the use of oral Ivermectin as a replacement for topical
Lindane--a readily available medical formulation, pesticide, and environmental toxin that is
reported to be banned in the Dominican Republic as well as over 80 other countries throughout
the world.
