Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Thank you, I have been so many places I can't remember where to find anything. I don't have an infared light. I am going to do a scrape sample I think. There are that many and I am totally freaked. I brought home a full protective suit from work, a respirator mask, and hair nets. Like the garbage bag idea and will use. Brilliant. I think, I just may make a hoodie out of one and work in layers of protective equipment so I can immediately peel off one layer after exposure taking the samples, then another transporting and packaging, and so on. That way at no time would I be unprotected. A healthy dose of sulfur on my skin, hair, etc. and peel the last layer in the shower. Be back later tonight when the job is done. Thank you.manymites <manymts@...> wrote: Fritolay,The following is from the birdmites.org strategies page on collecting a sample:"To capture mite samples from a heavily infested room: Place a pan of hot, steaming water in the middle of a darkened room at night. Place a single light over the pan, preferably a red IR lamp. Leave the room undisturbed for a couple of hours. You will need to use a strong magnifier to see them in the water. Place samples in a vial with alcohol to preserve."(I have tried using a glue trap instead instead of the water with no results) Since they are most active after 5pm I would try to go in around noon time to place the bait in hopes of reducing the risk and leave it until the next day. I think it's pretty hard to avoid being attacked unless you cover yourself completely. I would get myself in a rain suit, googles, respirator, gloves and feet inside garbage bags taped around the rain suit. That's what I did a couple of months ago when the infestation was very heavy inside the house. I even used clear plastic wrap around my head to seal around the head and the googles. It seems like an overkill for just a couple of minutes but I guess it depends how much risk you are willing to take. I went into the attic last weekend just covered with Eurax from head to toe and got really infested. It was hard to get them off me, even after three baths.It just occurred to me that as an alternative, you could cover yourself in vaseline. Maybe they'll stick to the vaseline enough for you to grab them after you come out of the basement. I think I'll try that myself. Regarding getting the items out of your basement without infesting your first floor, the only suggestion I have would be to try and place the items inside plastic bags prior to getting them out. That obviosuly won't work for bulky items. Another idea would be to spray insecticide in the items themselves prior to taking them out. Hopefully they will go and hide away from the items to avoid the insecticide.Good Luck- MMPS. Don't worry about the links, looks like you have enough in your basement to worry about.> >> > > > > http://www.newhope.com/nutritionsciencenews/NSN_backs/May_99/nutrientp> > rofile_s1.cfm> > > > I have heard many times the question about why mites will affect > some > > in a household, but others are left untouched.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Hi Fritolay. We did try glucosomine when Neal first came down with rheumatoid - also several other medications which did absolutely nothing for him. He has been on Methotrexate and Enbrel injections since 2001 and that keeps the rheumatoid more or less in control. He had a hip replacement in 2001 and will probably have to have the other one done in the next 1-2 years, but so far his joints have stayed fairly stable. They do ache etc, especially after he does any work but no swelling and soreness to speak of. He is a natural born workaholic which is very difficult for him as he keeps trying to do things he used to be able to with ease. The joint pain is normal with inver and his are worse while he is on it. I hope your problem will go away with taking sulfur. I tried to take it but it made me nauseated and I had to stop. Wishing you all the luck with your problems.
