Guest guest Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Lysol spray? Maybe. Not sure yet. A guy from a steam cleaning place emailed this to me: " One item many have used for sanitization is 91% isopropyl alcohol or distilled white vinegar. Vinegar is acetic acid and an insecticide as well as alcohol. Spraying the clothing items in this will help in killing the bugs. " Honestly, after using the mouth wash I felt so refreshed and then the vinegar, too but now I feel more biting. How long does one have to use these until the bugs are gone???????????

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I have tested isopropyl alcohol 70% as well as 99,9%. Both do work, the 70% version is cheaper. I spray it straight on skin, scalp and it does not dry me out. Kills the bug instantly. Infact, the alcohol plus a tic repellent has helped me the most. > > Lysol spray? Maybe.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Alcohol is what ive been using since day ??? mmm been 10 months since i came down with THIS! Have to be persistant with it on the seams of clothes and all around general. if you have animals you need to be careful.. Had some good news. when i went in for mri to see if my breast cancer spread the biting stopped.. It also stopped for the antibiotics after my lumpectomy... Here is a month later and the biting feeling is 10 fold and i actually grab the area and loudly say ouch.. (not my exact words) i had to quit hormones because of the cancer soo the hot flashes that can be caused by morg/mites is back bad. Im trying to quit smoking and i start radiation and a cancer drug next week....It really hurts though because the time i really need support i cant get it.. not even a hug.. > > > > Lysol spray?

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 My heart just breaks for you ceecee. I have been through such horrible times like this too when I didn't know how I could possibly beat the stress. You can beat it! I did and you can. We have to just take it one day at a time. None of us knows where the next day will lead. I just have to try to be in the present and not futurize. Sometimes the biting or crawling stop for a while, that is my experience, then it starts up again... could be the stage of the bug internally... new ones? I don't know, or fibers coming out? God only knows. The biting sensations came back full strength at the beginning of the nice weather here for a few weeks, but have subsided again, most likely because of the MMS or antibiotics I'm on for Lyme. I don't know. I hope you come to this site often to get some support because you will get it here. We understand here. It is just the most unsettling thing and to have breast cancer on top of it is just unbelievable. You will get through it; we're all trying to get through these terrible assaults and doing the best we can. For me there is a spiritual part of this that is bringing all of us a little higher after we go through the bitter valleys. I love spiritual messages sent here and I do need it too. So many good ideas here. Re: Ways to kill them Alcohol is what ive been using since day ??? mmm been 10 months since i came down with THIS!

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I fell for your situation! I really hope your cancer treatment succeeds and that the mites will go away!! Were you completely fine and mite-free when you were in the hospital? ALso when you went on hormones? Take care!Cecilia From: ceecee <hair2cut00@...>bird mites Sent: Thu, May 12, 2011 4:36:21 AMSubject: Re: Ways to kill them Alcohol is what ive been using since day ??? mmm been 10 months since i came down with THIS!
