Guest guest Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I still haven't had a chance to research...but I think I will be trying MMS. Is MSM different? I agree LJ, it is very overwhelming and confusing. I will also purchase from debbie's soaps. Thanks healing hope (marie?). Where do I buy wintergreen alcohol? On Nov 8, 2011 2:40 PM, " healinghope " <mfrreman@...> wrote: You are not crazy! The hot spots you have I did also. I believe the insect besides the bird mite I dealt with is springtails. MMS spray very weak initially, I would use 20 drops to 8 oz distilled water. Also MMS baths. If you itch use the spritzer bottle and nail it:) Also wintergreen alcohol mixed with white distilled vinegar sprayed on bedding will help. For my scalp I made liquid lye soap and left on my hair and scalp. Then shampoo and wash body with liquid lye soap. Lye soap sounds harsh, if you research it is milder and Safer than store bought. Then take a MMS soak. I will not recommend this for the children, your choice. > > Thanks. If I move how do I get them off me? My scalp either was infested or maybe still is. It itches a lot.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I believe it. From: "healinghope" <mfrreman@...>bird mites Sent: Tuesday, November 8, 2011 11:50:20 AMSubject: Re: For Linds - move if possible Homemade soap is authentic vegetable oils, lye and water. Lye soap is true authentic soap. The soap you buy in the store is actually not soap. It is a detergent. Almost the same as what you wash your clothes with. So the question you should ask yourself is why would I need to put detergent on my skin. Detergent is surfactants and chemicals that creates suds and bubbles. The problem with this is that this is what causes skin irritation. Not so with handmade lye soap. Natural soap is so good for your skin that it even repels bugs and mosquitos. But, most importantly lye soap is the best hydrating, moisturizing and skin smoothing soap. EVER!> >> > Thanks. If I move how do I get them off me? My scalp either was infested or maybe still is.

It will not damage upholstery or rugs. We used Windex for a long time and that works in my opinion. We vacuumed often too and disposed of the bag for the vacuum - kept vacuum outside the house too, not in, away from elements like rain, snow. Vacuuming up DE helped a bit although DE is hard on most vacuums except shop vacs I think. I'd wipe down all surfaces in the car with Windex. Shoes should be left outside too because they track things into the house from the car. We sprayed shoes with Windex, inside and out. >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> ----- Original Message ----- >>>> From: " Linds J " <lj_mom11@> >>>> bird mites >>>> Sent: Tuesday, November 8, 2011 10:52:34 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
