Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hi Pamela:well, first you gotta take the carpet out of the bedroom. rip it up and just have subflooring. slop mop the subflooring with bleach/water/epsom salt. i just use bleach and water. i have my air mattress right on the ceramic tiled floor. nothing under it. can your mites burrow into those wood boards? ensure that you are getting ALL the mites and EGGS out your covers before you use them.I bought my pocketscope from ebay. actually i bought like 4 of them within the past 2 years, bought some light bulbs for them from ebay, cause the lite bulbs kept burning out, tiny lite bulbs. these pocket scopes are really cheaply made.http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40 & _trksid=m38 & _nkw=pocket+microscopes & _sacat=See-All-Categoriesbut the thing is, is that all this time i was looking at what was probably pieces of dirt or debris and was thinking that that was probably the mites (you know on my arms and hands). but when i applied the nature's guardian essential oils to my hand, these tiny black things started floating around in the oil, so tiny that i could hardly focus on them, so now i ordered a 100X pocketscope from radioshack.com and i am waiting for it to arrive in the mail, like a kid waiting for his prize from the cereal box order. so, yeah, i am glad that i finally scoped them, wiggle around and stuff.I don't know about your curtains. i have the type of mites that don't last more than about 14 days in the environment, but, Rita has the type that last up to 8 months in the environment, so it depends. i did read a study about a person that had the norweigean crusted scabies, and they found mites all over the bedroom, chairs, curtains, walls., so I would say, especially in the bedroom, to clean, floors, walls, bed, etc., and even the ceilings...I stored my 2 beds upright in the family room, finally threw one out, but still have one stored in there, in case someone visits or by some miracle, i get cured. it's been over a year now.MelFrom: "trlyblest" <trlyblest (DOT) com>bird mitesSubject: Re: Pamela - Help for hair, nose and ears?Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2008 20:14:06 -0000 Pamela,For the sore behind your ear, try putting some type of triple antibiotic ointment on it for a few days, like NeoSporin or another generic brand. Worked for me. :)The Aquaphor is not mentholated. That's where the Listerine comes in.First...Try rinsing out your sinuses with a saline solution or saline nasal spray. Then w/a q-tip, swab the inside of your nose with the Aquaphor. Then gargle with Listerine. Repeat this 2 or 3 X a day. You can also take a syringe w/o the needle attached, put warm water in it to flush out your ears. My Dr. showed me how to do that. Simple... and It felt pretty good. Just be sure to tilt your head so that all of the water drains out. Then apply the Aquaphor. Don't put the Aquaphor down in the ear too far. Apply just enough "goo" so that the devils will get caught in it either by exit or entrance. Rinse out the eyes with any type of eye drops. Frito recommends Visine, while I had my best luck using Thera Tears. Rita used bleach to get them off of her eyelashes. Rinse. (I wasn't brave enough to try that!) Then slather the "goo" around the eyes. Whatever you do... DON'T STOP doing this. Keep at it. I had to do this for months before we finally whipped them! Of course we modified the poducts used. When we first came down with this, Vasoline was the only thing I could think of. Then suggested Aquaphor... turned out it 'tis a much better product!! I also kept a bottle of liquid hand sanitizer handy at all times and if I felt them on my scalp, I would put a couple of squirts on my fingertips and massage it in. Worked like a charm. Stopped 'em dead. I also used the Licemeister comb to massage my scalp after I washed my hair. This pulled out alot of stuff so that I could treat the bites that I used to have. For those I put Neosporin directly on the bites for a few days as well. How are the oils working for pulling the black specs off of your body? Still having success? Have you tried the Epsom salts on your skin yet? Some folks have had great success using the salts. Is the cleanse you're on working? Let us know how you're really doing overall...Hugs!
