Running the gauntlet?

[Guest guest]

Well, I am running the gauntlet. My daughter has just come over from UK. She first went to my Mother's though my mother was so worried about my daughter bringing back mites she paid for my daughter to stay in a hotel while she was visiting. Anyway my daughter has, at my request, brought back a case of photographs from my mother's house. It had spent the last 5 months in the shed at the bottom of her garden, after being taken from a cupboard in her house at the height of her infestation. The small canvass case is inside some polythene bags & was in the cargo old of the plane flying over. The case is now on our front porch & I shall leave it in the garage over winter, the logic being that here in Minnesota the temps sometimes get as low as -34C & maybe that would kill any remaining mites.  I'm probably being paranoid, because bird mites have never previously shown any interest in us but knowing about other people's mitemares, I think caution is justified. Fingers crossed.
