Guest guest Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I think you were answering (maybe by mistake?) to someone who asked about GMO and how bird mites pass it on to people.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hi Rush I loaned my iphone to the nieghbors & I just got it back , the minute I touched it my hand got bit up , I waited a while not beliveing it , with in 5 hrs I had a swarm , my eyes , face , & arms were bit up . I put the phone in a bag & gassed it then put 1 teasp betdine on my wet hands & rubbed it all over , left the betadine on for 5 mins & rinsed , it killed them all then I showered with shampoo ,left it on for 3 mins & rinsed . So 3 days later , still no bugs on my hands at all . So... I pull out the iphone use it for 5 mins & they hatched & bit me up again . I repeated all the above steps & waited 5 days or so , this time they were weaker , & it took 20 mins for them to get my hands & forearms .... It will probally be many weeks of gassing & using, so that they hatch, & re gassing in a bag with c02 before the iphone is clear. I know once my laptop gets infested it takes a longtime to kill them all . I need to test heat treating on an old laptop & see if it still works . My regular treo 600 palm cellphone usually is clear in just 1 gas of c02, strange the ihone is resistant like the laptop & takes so many gassings & regassings .. C02 is more fluid than water so it should be able to seep into the device . I wonder if the bug lives off the electronics like red ants in florida eat electronics in air conditioners & stop lights, which has caused tens of millions of dollars of damage I read in an article. They use aspertame to kill red ants it said . Otherwise the man said the red ants would not die with all the chemicals he bought & dumped on the red ant mound . But 1 packet of nutrasweet (it contains aspertame) sprinkled on top of the mound did nothing, untill a light rain moistened it , then the ants came & ate all of it & the next day there were no more ants The end. Remember the ant traps the poster posted about ? cvs brand ant traps & how his bugs went to almost zero when he used them .. ? ..I called a 30 year pest control man & he said he bet cvs brand ant traps contained aspertame. He said I could make my own with aspertame ( nutraseet for coffe ) & karo syrup . I sprinke nutra sweet every month around the perimeter of each room , I never breathe it, it makes you feel funny ... One time I put 1/4 cup in the blender with an ocilating fan behind the blender & it coated the whole house in a light film . I didn like breathing it at all. I misted it but my house is decorated in borax & epsom so I am sure the aspertame tasted different mixing with the borax & epsom . I need to try it again after I do a big wash . I have cars the seem pretty bugless , I sprinkle aspertame in then monthly . I am not saying this will wipe them out but it sure kills ants, maybe the mites have sweet tooth too ? ..

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I hear they love electricity. That is probably why they love cell phones and computers. You know when you sometimes get that electric charge? Well i heard from dr s that they tested two people with m and their electrical body current was significantly hirer than a normal person. Maybe that is why they are so attracted to us.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I am confused about the whole fiber thing. People who have morgellons and the whole GMO connection talks about fibers coming 'out' of your body, right? I don't have any fibers coming out of my body. I only see fibers that are outside and want to attack me and enter my skin. They look like bird mites but are made of fiber. Is this the same thing? My theory is that bird mites (or whatever mites I have) began to hide or use certain materials in order to hide and get closer to their prey. This, as a mechanism of survival. So they must have figured that if people have fibers so close to their bodies, they could become fibers and be just as close. Of course, I'm putting it as a human who can think, but they might have other ways of understanding this at their own level. I said in my other thread, and I know this won't be easy to believe, but I have mites that take over my stuff now. I found mites taking over things like safety pins or pieces of tape and plastic. Nobody would believe this unless they saw it with their own eyes, I know, but that's what it is. I have some pictures, maybe that will help: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41448065@N02/4570854306/in/set-72157623856010281/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/41448065@N02/4570211763/in/set-72157623856010281/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/41448065@N02/4570211901/in/set-72157623856010281/ These pictures were taken after the mite had been killed and become visible. Before that, I could not see the mite. I could only see the object, and I could not see it moving, but I did see it change places many times. So it must have moved when I wasn't looking. You won't believe it but they also took the shape of boric acid when they became immune to it. They pretended to be "stains" of it, so I began to see tons of little drops of boric acid all over my room, all of them with the shape of the mite. And I could see them getting closer and closer to my bed--that was scary, I felt like in a horror movie. I'm starting to wonder what will they take over once they evolve any further.. Let me know what you think of this, Thanks. On 5/5/2010 12:21 AM, Zoe wrote: Hi Jess, When I tried to open the photos it brought up a message saying they were 'private'. Perhaps others in this group may know how to view them with the link you provided, otherwise you may need change the link to the photos in order from others to help you ID your possibly wood- burrowing pests. I mentioned the GMO info in my last reply to your post simply because you describe seeing 'fiber-like' things and so I thought you may want to know that there is a theory about a direct connection between mites, fibers, and GMO's. z3 > > > > > > I'm starting to wonder if it's really birdmites what I have or maybe > > > something else?

I hear they love electricity. That is probably why they love cell phones and computers. You know when you sometimes get that electric charge? Well i heard from dr s that they tested two people with m and their electrical body current was significantly hirer than a normal person. Maybe that is why they are so attracted to us.

It will probally be many weeks of gassing & using, so that they hatch, & re gassing in a bag with c02 before the iphone is clear. I know once my laptop gets infested it takes a longtime to kill them all .

I wonder if the bug lives off the electronics like red ants in florida eat electronics in air conditioners & stop lights, which has caused tens of millions of dollars of damage I read in an article. They use aspertame to kill red ants it said . Otherwise the man said the red ants would not die with all the chemicals he bought & dumped on the red ant mound . But 1 packet of nutrasweet (it contains aspertame) sprinkled on top of the mound did nothing, untill a light rain moistened it , then the ants came & ate all of it & the next day there were no more ants > The end. > >Remember the ant traps the poster posted about ? cvs brand ant traps & how his bugs went to almost zero when he used them .. ? ..I called a 30 year pest control man & he said he bet cvs brand ant traps contained aspertame.

I didn like breathing it at all. I misted it but my house is decorated in borax & epsom so I am sure the aspertame tasted different mixing with the borax & epsom . I need to try it again after I do a big wash . I have cars the seem pretty bugless , I sprinkle aspertame in then monthly . I am not saying this will wipe them out but it sure kills ants, maybe the mites have sweet tooth too ? .. > >Bye, God bless you Rush , > > > >Bill > >On Tue May 4th, 2010 9:20 PM EDT Rush wrote: > >>We don't know.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Jess, From your pictures it appears that your wood flooring is highly porous - I would be very tempted to have these sanded down smooth, and finished with a resin that would fill in all those cracks. Just a suggestion. I used to mop my wood floors with the same problem yours have with a high concentration of ammonia and borax. It pretty much ruined the finish which was pretty destroyed anyway, but it got rid of the bugs in the floor.DE did no good at all. I don't know how much good boric acid would do if it was just laid down in cracks as it appears in the picture. I think it is too spotty... Re: Do birdmites burrow in wood? Jess -I hope you aren't thinking of sending rubber bands & safety pins. Please be sure that you have some kind of bug that is clearly a bug.Bessie> > >>> > >> >I'm starting to wonder if it's really birdmites what I have or maybe> > >> >something else?
