Guest guest Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Sorry to hear about that mites are bothering you, . It is "living hell". Many of us here have the biggest problems in the scalp, so that is not uncommon, even though you also mostly have problems elsewhere too. Do you have lesions/bite on your body as well. I think the mites will cause you that, if it is mites, at least in the beginning of an infestation.If you have the small things coming from your scalp send them to a university with an endomotologist and they might be able to ID them for you.Best of luck!CeciliaFrom: <terelynjon@...>bird mites Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2011 7:23 PMSubject: What type of mite prefers your scalp?

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 All I can say when you talk about 'jumping' it really feels that way, but mine were mites, dropping down from ceilings or other objects. I never found springtails. I also had the feeling of burrowing on my scalp. The only thing that helped there was concentrated vinegar, I diluted 50:50 with water and sprayed it on my scalp twice a day. The burrowing, nagging feeling stopped within one week. What a relief that was. I still get mites in my hair, but they do not burrow any longer. I think a simple explanation when dealing with bird mites is the fact, that BM's live in the feathers of birds and that the hair structure is similar to feathers. They just look for protection. > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi, I have been living with some type of mite for over 3 months, since the end of May.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I've been using straight tea tree oil during the day and neem oil at night before bed, which seems to be helping. I'm also taking invermectin. I found a menthol eucalyptus and thymol linament to spray while I was cleaning out a bathroom cabinet and that is helping too. It contains alcohol also. I just tried to spray a ceiling, but got as much on myself as I did the ceiling. How do you spray the ceiling? I am short - 5'2 " .  I have 1 wooden stool left which is about 2', so that would put me up to about 5'4 " .    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I feel very loopy after spraying earlier with the IGR. Thank God I am off tonight. As I sprayed the ceiling a lot of it got on me. I'm waiting for my clothes in the dryer to finish so I can get a bath. As soon as I can get a shower curtain that I bring home and is not infested I'm going to put that up. I live in Richmond, VA and Hurricaine Irene has been blowing this way. My mother and brother lost their power at 5:30 p.m. -- so thankful I still have power. On Sat, Aug 27, 2011 at 8:50 PM, Benton <sarahbenton48@...> wrote:  Look in the garden supplies. Don't buy the cheapest one as it will break easily. I usually pay just under 20$ for a Round up garden sprayer.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I'd get a garden sprayer - yes, I found that eucalyptus, tea tree oil and oregano oil work really well on the scalp and seem to kill this pest.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Hi Guys, Just wanted to send my love to all of you as well ! I certainly wouldn't be on this earth anymore without this group. Been highly suicidal for about 1 year. Been fighting these bird mite monsters for about 22 months now and have almost got my home and car mite free, last battlefield will be the office though, which seems to be the hardest because of the carpet. Let us all keep helping each other, since the mental support is just vital within this fight! > > > > > > > > > > > > From: <terelynjon@> > > > > Subject: Re: What type of mite prefers your scalp? > > > > bird mites < http://us.mc1134.mail./mc/compose?to=bird mites%40 > > > > > Date: Saturday, August 27, 2011, 11:59 PM > > > > > > > > > > > >  > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I've been using straight tea tree oil during the day and neem oil at > > > night before bed, which seems to be helping. I'm also taking > > > invermectin. I found a menthol eucalyptus and thymol linament to spray > > > while I was cleaning out a bathroom cabinet and that is helping too. It > > > contains alcohol also. I just tried to spray a ceiling, but got as much on > > > myself as I did the ceiling. How do you spray the ceiling? I am short - > > > 5'2 " .  I have 1 wooden stool left which is about 2', so that > > > would put me up to about 5'4 " .    > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
