, It is so understandable that you would be discouraged. I'm glad your mom does not think you are crazy. It helps so much to know others who have been through it can be there for us. I don't think God punishes in the way you describe, however. Just my point of view. Freezer does not kill mites. We tried it so many times... heat does. If you can safely put a few things in the oven at 150 degrees that will kill them or iron what you can. It also kills mold, viruses, bacteria.

I put my iron in the shed and just about everything in the shed got re-infested

after I used sulfur. I had a bad experience with sulfur b/c after I put it in a

couple of places - in front of my LR windows on the outside, the next day one of

my neighbors called the police. The police wanted to look inside and could not

believe that I had pulled out all of my carpet and thrown away my bed, etc.

They brought out HazMet to check the air in here and then made me leave b/c they

said it was too toxic for me to stay, so one nice policeman took me to my

mother's house. But almost as bad as that was the fact that when I used sulfur

it made the mites jump from one place to another. I put a bag of sulfur in my

shed and then they jumped into all the stuff I have in there - supplies, etc. I

have draperies, coats, clothes, books, etc. in there. I don't know but will

probably be throwing it out too. But if I can, will try to get an iron. I had

to throw the cover off my ironing board as it was infested too.

I had to throw iron and ironing board and cover away. They infested that and when ironing the mites would fall off and bite my feet. It was hideous. So many things thrown away. I know what you mean about pushing the mites to another area. Our area of initial infestation was our downstairs, but upon treatment they worked their way upstairs where we put our airbed for a year. They just follow you and can get pushed to other areas. It was pretty bad. Because we live in a townhouse that is semi-attached to 2 other houses we could not do tenting which might have saved our things if they used the right poisons... I think Tim or someone said this is the best method to get rid of mites throughout the entire house.

Hi - hang in there. I promise things will get better eventually. Maybe

not perfect but you learn what works/doesn't over time. One suggestion I have

to add to the great advice you have already received is to order KleenFree for

your laundry. I don't typically recommend/endorse name brand stuff as we have

all spent so much time, money and effort on fighting these bugs. But, our

clothing was so bad it used to " bite " within seconds of putting it on - the iron

helped but I feel like KleenFree really put us over the edge in terms of making

things at least wearable. Some folks didn't have luck with it but over the long

term it was one of the best investments we made. Another thing - try to get

crocs for shoes as you can wash them in your dishwasher. Be sure to disinfect

your combs/brushes after each use. Another thing to try that I discovered

through trial and error was Off Botanicals bug lotion - it kept the biters away

from me. It is made from eucal. tree. I am so sorry you are going through

this. We are here for you. Just keep fighting. And, no, you are not crazy. I

stayed at my Mom's last year when I was heavily infected. I can walk into her

place today and my skin literally starts to tingle within seconds. She feels

nothing and has no symptoms what so ever.

oh teresa, i am where you are on many things. one day i am praying and feeling

comforted then an hour later cursing god. i had to change the thought of

punishment for i have done some horrible things, but it's not what he does.

please hang in there. why us small group of people have been affected i will

never know. they are in my mother's home also,but she has zero symptoms. one of

her dogs got under my house one day and got them. it kinda helped me figure out

where they came from, since after that some dead rodent smell came from under

the house. it's been a little over 3 months for me. it's weird 1 of my moms dogs

and one of mine are like us, very allergic. i want to cry every time i see him

scratch. the shorts i am wearing soaked for over 24 hours, borax, arm and

hammer, ammonia, stored with moth balls the minute i put them on i get chomped

on. i get a terrible rash that spreads through the day. i am going to break my

anonymity, but i just celebrated 4 years of sobriety and this has been the

closest i have wanted to drink. even at times i get angry with god i continue to

praise him and comfort me through these times...and it works until i take the

control back. i listen to a lot of music and keep good thoughts while cleaning.

i clean houses for a living so it's like working 24/7. my boyfriend stays over

all the time and has never had one bite. but his house and truck make me very

itchy. this is the weirdest situation i have ever experienced and one of the

worst. because of these people on here and you i will continue to hang on and

fight this. i know it's not getting worse so that's a good thing. i might take a

solo trip to the beach or something to get cleansed spiritually and mentally.

feel free to vent to me anytime. my new purses are plastic grocery bags so i can

dispose of them. acceptance is the answer to all my problems today! much love,

alaire

Very well said and a huge congrats on your sobriety! I have quite a few friends who are recovering addicts or AA's because the meditation center I go to there are a lot of 12 steppers there. I used to go to CoDA - but haven't for some time. It seems everyone is recovering from something these days and everyone has issues they are dealing with. Almost everyone seems to have a parent that was an alcoholic any more, not to minimize what you have gone through, but just to offer some support. I do believe in the idea of getting right with God... one day at a time and in God's time, not ours thy will be done. <3 From: "alaire73" <alaire_fetters@...>bird mites Sent: Sunday, August 28, 2011 2:53:29 PMSubject: Re: I thank God for this group

Thank you. I'm having a harder time today. I drank some grape juice earlier

and I think that and the breaded chicken made the bugs on my scalp more active.

Then I went shopping with mother, neices and it just seemed to get worse. So

later I will wash with lice shampoo and try to kill them again. I have so many

questions. I can't ask everything at once. Yes, this is one of the worst times

of my life. I think b/c I see how " normal " people get to life so carefree and

we have to work really hard just to make life bearable. I got cold last night

b/c I sleep on a sofa with no covers or sheets. I haven't figured out how to

get that work out. I bought a vinyl shower liner hoping to maybe sleep on top

of it or something. I tried to find a long sleeve shirt to sleep in last night,

but could not find one out of my dryer that didn't feel buggy. I need to get an

iron so I can iron the things. But getting the iron home from the store without

feeling buggy is another thing.

Hi whatstheuseof not killing predator bugs

1. An air matress on a hard floor sprayed with 2 tbls cococnut oil & 48 oz of

water makes an area bug free, spray the cielig too

2. Drenched seats & carpet in 1 cup borax , & 1 cup spic & span & 1 gal

water make dead bugs instantly .

3. If you can't drench at the moment 1 box of baking soda with a pencil sized

hole puffed all over theick instantly stops all bugs for 24-48 hrs , they can't

walk in it & it driws the bug out , it hates alkaline burns , works miracles in

the shoes or better boots , for 1 hr the dump out & oil feet & put on socks &

enjoy

God bless you Whatstheuse ,

Bill

ps

Details :

An air materss is washable if defated & rolled up & folde 2 time & put in a 5

gal w/ 1/2 cup bucket w/ Arm & Hammer Powdered Laundry Detergent & soaked for 1

hr.

1 teasp Arm & Hammer Powdered Laundry Detergent per cup of water applied to the

scalp kills them too , then rinse in 10-15 mins , it is painless .then apply

this mix with a windex bottle

32 oz water

2 tbls borax , borax is a digestive poison

10 capsules of msm opened & emtied in tothe water from any pharmacy , msm is a

penetrant , & makes the borax penetrate in to he skin

Spray it into the scalp & leave it on till the next shoqer , it is painless &

works wonders , be persistant

Thw car will be clean if you soak the se & ts & carpet with

1 cup borax

1 cup spic and span

1 gal o water

then wet vac out & set hair dryer in the car propped in a 5 gal bucket to dry

it for 24 hrs with an extension cord .

the bug will hatch again so itis a weekly thing .

I use baking soda puffed with a hle in the box all over the car to help kill

the hatchlings , it works miracles to arrest all movement instantly , it is not

a total cure but stops them for sure . & it is cheap & instant . If the bug gets

in my seat I pull over & spraed iot thisck on the seat & it stops instantly for

days , vacums out easily , it is like carpet fresh , 'totally normal '

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

Summary :

Borax$3.99

Mustard 2.00

skin of egg $1.99 haven't tried that one yet

coaltar shampoo 5.99

Certain foods do seem to make things more active at times. Grape juice has a lot of sugar in it and the breading on the chicken would feed candida too. A lot of people who have this have commented about the issue of diet. It does seem to be worse for most of us depending on the type of food we are eating.

Hi!

had a suggestion on a steam press that I bought (threw it away as we moved) that really helped our clothes. She can probably give you contacts where you can buy it.

So when it broke, I bougth this steam press. I have been using it for about 2 months and it works great on T-shirts, pants, shorts, jackets, blouses, etc. Singer is a great trusted brand and believe it, this steam press is fast and easy to use. I also bougth a Kalorik Stand for 34" Steam Press. Now, I just sit down, watch a TV show and do my ironing. Make sure you buy a stand for this item, it makes using your press more comfortable and it secures it in place. Using distilled water is a must.The steam press surface is many times longer than a regular iron, so it saves you time and your arms will not be tired when you finish ironing your laundry. Be careful when placing clothes as the upper plate gets VERY HOT and if not careful, you may burn your hand. It takes some time to completely master this steam press, but it's worth it. It also makes me want to iron more often. It's a dream! Children's clothing is so easy to press with this. And fast.Full review provided by: Was this review helpful?
