Isn't Doxy for Lyme? That's what I thought it was for. My doctor prescribed two other antibiotics for the Lyme, but she said alternatively we could switch over to Doxy.

Re: What are the black specks???????????

My cousin said doxy is a Trish springsted recomendation he siad that explains why some here rite good reviews for it. Is this true? I think this makes sense theres lots of antiboitics but the reviews here awlays talk about doxy. I was thiniking maybe it would be nice to talk about other drugs too not just ones Trish likes. I am kind of afraid of afraid her now mostly stuff she recomends, does anyone know of other drugs other than doxy that could help with bird mites?

I can so relate to what you and your husband are going through. It would be such a relief if we were simply delusional and could just visit a a shrink to get better. Let me know if the doxycycline helps you. We it is 2 times per day for 1 month and it didn't help. I keep wondering if it would have helped at a higher dose like 3 times per day, as it did with Rose.

Hey - Doxy is for Lyme's, I believe...my dr. did some blood work and gave

it to me. I have not had the extensive lyme's testing done as of yet but plan

to do it - I am sure I have it, along with morgellons (sadly enough)....but

hopefully because of this site I have started to address things early enough

that maybe I can get a leg up on getting better. I am going to try the doxy

3x's a day...I don't think it can hurt.

This rings true to me I have had the soft and hard specs the hard ones are weird bothered me but diid go away I really think I Had Lyme otherwise why would I have responded so well to the doxy but Bobby I think the combo You mentioned sounds good. Thank You RFrom: bobbyboyd99 <bobbyboyd99@...>bird mites Sent: Tue, November 30, 2010 4:59:42 AMSubject: Re: What are the black specks???????????

, I went to see a caribbean island Dr who treats parasite issues every day. He said something very similiar. Doxy 100 mg, 3 times daily for 30 days, at the same time Vermox two times daily for 10 days, and to use the perm cream every three or four days. I stupidly did not use the perm cream like you are suggesting is important. He also said what I have sounds very much like advanced Lyme, even though I always test negative..I've read some say the black specs that come out of your skin are some type of mold, mine were soft, never hard. My Derm could not ID mine that I took from the tub other than organic matter. Bobby

Hi SB6IRL

My Dad taught when I was 7 years old not to touch dead birds because the mites

from the animal might get on me & they are hard to get rid of, sometime

resulthing in fumafation of the whole house & if that did work possible

destruction of the whole house. Ask any chicken farmer , there is your expert. I

asked one he said white wash the whole chicken coup with lime water , it is

highly caustic. & if that dosent kill them burn the coup .

Here is a great post from a farmer :

Mites and farmer tricks

link

bird mites/message/10634

I don't know where you people are from, whether it be city, or too far north to

know this, but " mites " are nothing new, and there is nothing " foreign about

them.

I was raised, and still live in Louisiana, which is called, " semi-tropical. " I

was raised on a farm/ranch. There are so many different types of mites, that

bite, that I will not begin to try to list many; I will give a few examples.

Warm blooded animals get lice; plants get lice; they are not the same type of

lice. the " lice " that infest your turnip green patch, will not bite you because

it suddenly " got warmer " in the US. The mites and lice that infest your chicken

house, will not be satisfied with sucking on turnip greens; but they will crawl

all over a human and give you the " itch " for many days after you have gotten

rid of the mites. There are " redbugs, " picked up from walking through grass,

brush, or sometimes dirt. They will burrow under your skin and make you want to

take a wire brush and shed your won hide off. There are seed ticks that will

cover you from brushing against the wrong tree limb, or infest your living room

when you buy that " real " tree at Christmas. The " Mange " in dogs, or as we

humans dislike having to call it, " Scabies, " that will infest you and all your

pets. There are hog lice, chiken mites, Sarcopic mange, ring worm, ( & scores of

other funguses from cattle and horses and dogs), that humans can get. There is

the " creeping crud, " a fungus, that sometimes does not show to the naked eye for

months, but will make you claw until you bleed, usually starting at the

ankles and working up; it lives in the soil. While we back woods, country people

may call all these vermin and varmints funny names, and we may seem

stupid to some, we know these critters you are talking about; they were here in

the US long before you went overseas. It is just as possible that you caught it

from your Georgia tent mate when he returned from leave, as it is that you

caught it in Iraq, or some other " hot " place.

We have put a couple of cap fulls of pine oil or bleach in our bath water for

years; we have cleaned our houses with pine oil for hundreds of years. We have

dabbed pine oil, turpintine, and sometimes if desperate enough, coal oil, on

redbugs, (and various other critters that attached themselves to us), to kill

them for hundreds of years. We have coated ourselves in various kinds of fats,

mud, and paste to keep them off, and to kill them when they decided to live on

us anyway. We have bathed in baking soda, salt and epsoms salt to keep from

itching; smeared paste from mustard, baking soda and tobacco to help. We have

taken the " skin " from egg shells and pit on bad bites, to draw the " itch " out.

We have chewed on the sulphur ends of hard matches, and made a paste out

of " flowers of sulfur; " which bugs hate the smell of, and it keeps the bites

from getting infected. One of the bad things about itchy bites, it all that

scratching and hot, blooding flesh, attracts even more critters.

As for borax; you can buy " 20 Mule Team " borax powder; it's been around longer

than any of us. We wash with it, neutralize orors with it, remove stains with

it, etc. Most of all, down here, we have been rubbing it on our meat in our

smoke houses for ages; flies won't even light on it. we just wash it off when

we take it out to eat. I heard in the eighties, that they were " blowing "

recycled, chipped up, news papers into the walls of old historical homes to

insulate them. Guess what they were soaking the news paper in prior to drying

and chopping it up? That's right...Borax. Not only does it kill bugs, repel

bugs, repel rodents and prevent them from chewing and nesting in the paper

insulation, but it makes the paper fire retardent. You can make your on roach

and ant bait with it by mixing it with flour and sugar, or just corn syrup and

Borax. You can use it like carpet fresh, and you can wash your walls and floors

and counters with it; use it as a paste for scrubbing; just don't rinse it too

well, and you will see a lessening of itchy critters. And for people that want

their clothes clean, but do not like fragrance fumes, etc., it's the best for

your laundry.

If the varmints are eating your ankles up, mix some borax with your lotion or

vaseline; it will repel them and has antibiotic properties

story. I hate that my dear husband cannot fathom that we still may have mites

and we also have morgellons. He just can't go there. Even with real symptoms,

even with positive id's - he just can't bring himself to face the reality of the

situation. Which leaves just me to deal with this and our kids. I wish he

would quit searching for the silver bullets and so called experts. Any advice

on how to get him to accept that this is our plight and to pitch in to help me

You know Rose Dear if you and your buddies cry wolf enough times sooner or later

you lose credibility. I don't see how anything positive can result from all

these juvenile threats of leaving the board. If you wanna leave, just leave and

spare the rest of us the self-absorbed mellow dramatics.
