Does anyone have any info on the UV light? Or have any luck with using it? Also... what is the heat treatment being used in the home? at what temp does it have to reach to kill them.. like inside your car during the summer? thanks... ANN

Bird mites - a global epidemic

The bird breeder/keeper world has been dealing with this problem for a long time. The webmaster of the site below received over 1,000 letters from her members complaining of this problem. She wrote to the CDC.www.avianweb. com/bitingmites. htmlIt is not clear if these mites are a vector of a far more serious problem - Morgellons Disease - which the CDC is finally studying.We do know that many people who start out with a "mite problem" end up with Morgellons Disease.

Hi Ann,

I have an air purifier that has a UV light as well and I really think

it does help. I think it draws in any microorganism in close

proximity and the light " zaps " them. Just be very careful about

using such a light because it can cause eye damage if you look

directly at the light. (this one has the bulb encased within the

purifier) I bought the air purifier at Walmart for less than $100 and

I have been happy with it so far. Hope that helps. You might search

this site for others who have used the UV light as well to hear about

their experiences.

I just wanted to quickly answer your heat treatment question.

At the end of last year a few people were doing this on this forum,

I heard about the heat treating from a friend who posted on this

site and that is a big part in how we rid our home of our 'mites'.

I hear that in order to kill the mites you need to reach a temp of

at least 140 F. When you heat treat the house has a gradient of

different temperatures, so you want the coolest areas like by the

windows and furthest walls from the heaters to reach that temp.

Which means other areas of your house will probably reach the 200 f.

range.

To heat treat our house which is about 1500 sq feet we hired two 150

btu propane heaters and 2 large propane tanks (not the bbq size ones

or they will freeze up on you as the pressure drops too rapidly)

We heat treated our home once a week for 3 weeks which was enough to

erradicate them, we did an extra 2 weeks to make sure....we had this

biting crawling plague for 6 months. I dont know if it will be as

effective for every one - but I do believe the person who originally

started heat treating also got over them....it was very effective

for our family - and as we did it during the middle of freezing

winter, anyone doing it during the high heat of summer will find

that mother nature is on their side.

let me know if you have any more questions

p.s. I should also say that while we heat treated we would take

ivermectin once a week,spray our selves down with listerine in the

bath, and spray windex through out our home weekly as well as all

the daily laundering.

website is awesome and any newbys will find it a great resource.

Z,

I was the original heat treater. I believe I got after 6

consecutive treatments but I then made the mistake of bringing my

dog back into the house. My condo was reinfested and I have been

just too sick to do it again. I did remove my dog permanently,

found her a good home and treated a few more times. Right now I'm

not living at my condo and my parents refuse to heat treat because

of damage to their cabinets.

I think it will work in on any type of mite. My problem with the

condo is shared walls. They have so many places to retreat to and

them return so it takes many heat treatments. Its easy, but very

draining to do. I'm 50 yr old female and sick with this parasite.

I'm so excited that my idea actually worked for someone.

God gets all the glory.

Well I never did know who to thank for the heat treating idea. I

thought it was Som, he doesnt post anymore...

So yes I do thank God but I am also extremely thankful to you too!!!

Heat treating worked very well for us, I noticed its effects

immediately.....each saturday after we heated there would be almost

a complete die down until about thursday....then finally they were

just gone. During that 5 week period we also put our lovly cat and

dog in quarintine for a month and re-homed them....I dont think we

could have done it with them still in tow - though we miss then

awfully as you must yours.

I also can see how you came so close but with shared walls, and your

dog, it didnt quite kick it....I am sorry that your parents arnt

willing to heat treat....we didnt have much damage at all to our

home. But anything I didnt want to risk I placed at the furthest

point in the house from the heat.... anyway thank you a million

fold, and I do hope and pray that you get well and rid of these

things for good.

We also definately had some sort of parasite along with the ride, we

are still on a parasite cleanse 6 months after getting rid of the

mites, and it seems like it has completely gone yet I will stay on

the cleanse perhaps indefinately....God Bless

I am not sure if it is one parasite or a collection

red streaks on our skin. Very straight and they could be inches in

length. Also a strange sensation under the skin, especially around

my feet. This was a completely seperated thing from the 'mites' as

they persisted for months after the mites had gone (the biting and

crawling).

The first parasite cleanse I used was by the company health walk, it

was called paraclear and now is called revoxil...it was very good,

helped with the mites as well, cost around $20 for 120 capsules -

pretty cheap.

The one that we are currently on I got from a very good naturopath

that we have been seeing. Anyway this product can not be brought

over the internet, I dont know where else to find it but it is by a

company called enzyme solutions and is formula 29. I do think that

the revoxil is equally good though. You can actually see the

parasites being cleansed out of your body in stools.

What about you are you doing any parasite cleanses?

And if so what kinds and how have you found them?

I have not had any symptoms for at least 3 months now. I am not

sure if it is coincidense but when we added in the opaline by

opaline solutions, that was around the same time that they seemed

gone.

Are you on opaline? if not I strongly recommend it!!! As do others

who are on it.

[Guest guest]

Z....I have the same symptoms as you however, I also have another

parasite that I can see in my skin identified as a nematode. If I told

you about it, you wouldn't believe it.....my family doesn't even believe

me and they have seen it.

I am using opaline and a parasite cleanse called Paratrex. Have also

been taking a medication called praziquantel and an antibiotic,

minocycline as well as Accutane. I take these for the nematode. I

recently went to a Chinese doctor and he told me he has seen this before

in China. He also says no problem getting rid of it. He gives me herbs

to brew into a tea. We will see.
