The entomologist at the local university told me my samples were plants, not

insects.

Usually, I keep my bedroom windows slightly open at night to increase the oxygen

in the room. But lately, I've noticed the biting/crawling getting worse when I

do. There are bushes outside, rubbing up against the window. My sense is, the

plants may be creating some of this havoc.

Tried a lemon-eucalyptus insect repellent today, but it didn't work.

Also, tried using a citronella candle- this also didn't work.

High quality tea-tree oil works well for me. Also, neem oil is safe to use

around the sensitive eye area (really good for hair too).

HI CERPH

my windows used to be a nite mare , I sprayed the screens with dawn 1 cup & 5

cups of water , then later , borax water 1 cup per gal of water , I never feel

then coming in the windows anymore .

Also soaking the outside of your house with arm & hammer powdered laundry soap

1 cup per gallon will kill the bug . It leaves a white residue , which ashes

off with soap & water later .

Bye ,

Bill

I too found that tea tree oil is effective. Lavender oil and peppermint oil are also somewhat effective and they smell nice. I didn't find eucalyptus oil to be effective.

Dear Zoe,

I think this is one of the "sames" we can all claim - that whatever it is - it's certainly been more active at night and much less in the mornings - even disappearing for the most part.

Judy

Re: Question for Group

I've been really wondering why it does get worse in the evenings and better in the later morning. Do any bacteria, fungi, or viruses become more active at certain times. Plants grow in the dark hours not the light. Lots of organisms are nocturnal... is this a GMO nocturnal creature??? So freakish... Whatever this is is more likely to cause lesions and crawling if my skin is moist and warm... not cold and dry. When I would sit in our hot tub, I would get bites all over my skin in a complete ring around my upper arms and body at the water line. Yikes! I got so scared that I stopped going into it altogether.z3> > >> > > Would really appreciate hearing from you guys regarding whether or not your symptoms worsen in the evening.> > > > > > Mine get worse after sunset- but don't go into full gear until approximately 1am, and continue until sunrise (approximately 6am), and then taper off.> > > > > > Also, as crazy as this sounds, the biting and itching get worse after showering.

shared with this group last year.

D For me this supports the theory of agrobacterium even more. Very impressive

the time the university put into this. I have always had good responses from my

local extension office. GMO could be a large reason for this and immune system

makes us more susceptible. There is also theory that ticks and possibly other

insects may vector agrobacterium. So even if not directly related to insects

there may still be relation. M

http://www.naturalnews.com/025757.html

The term zoonotic refers to any disease that is able to jump the divide from

animals to people. Microbes created for bioterrorism are zoonotic. There are

many known zoonotic diseases, such as Lyme disease and malaria. Vectors are the

transmitters of disease-causing organisms that carry the pathogens from one host

to another. By common usage, vectors are considered to be invertebrate animals,

usually arthropods. Technically, vertebrates can also act as vectors, including

foxes, raccoons, and skunks, which can all transmit disease to humans through a

bite. Mosquitoes and ticks are the most notable disease vectors, although mites

and gnats may also carry disease. Enteric diseases are bacterial and viral

infections of the gastrointestinal tract that account for an under appreciated

burden of morbidity and mortality domestically and abroad.

The involvement of ZVED in creating the CDC webpage for Mogellons clearly

implies acceptance by the CDC that Morgellons is a disease involving not just

fibers but parasites.

ZVED's vision statement describes three goals: accelerating prevention, control,

and preparedness of ecologically mediated microbial threats; global vision,

global presence, global reach, and health impact; and working at the

intersection of human, animal, and ecological health to achieve healthier

people, places, and a healthier world.

Yeah. The night-time activity must be one of the 'sames'for all of us.

I just want to say that I hold everyone who posts on this website in my prayers,

cuz another one of the 'sames' is that having this affliction is tremendously

isolating. No one else on earth could possibly understand what this affliction

is like if they haven't experienced it. Most other people can not even believe

that we are all truly suffering in the way we are and would think we were

totally insane if fully we shared our experience with them.

I agree.

This is torture on every level, and in a time when others are less concerned

with the truth, justice, compassion, and love.

This world's spinning too fast. People don't have the time to BE with each other

(they're too busy doing things- and " multi-tasking " ).

Other cultures are content with DOing one thing at a time (aka- Zen). Western

" civilization " is congradulating itself in doing 10 things at a time.

It's as though the quality of life is going down, and the quantity is going up.

I would think if ticks which are of the same family could vector

agrobacterium that mites and perhaps insects in general could. I have come

across another article of interest on agrobacterium that should awaken us all,

this is written in the UK not the states.

http://www.i-sis.org.uk/Agrobacterium.php

Until quite recently, the genetic engineering community has assumed that

Agrobacterium does not infect animal cells, and certainly would not transfer

genes into them. But this has been proved wrong.

A paper published earlier this year reports that T-DNA can be transferred to the

chromosomes of human cancer cells [1]. In fact, Agrobacterium attaches to and

genetically transforms several types of human cells. The researchers found that

in stably transformed HeLa cells, the integration event occurred at the right

border of the Ti plasmid's T-DNA, exactly as would happen when it is being

transferred into a plant cell genome. This suggests that Agrobacterium

transforms human cells by a mechanism similar to that which it uses for

transformation of plants cells.

The paper shows that human cancer cells along with neuron and kidney cells were

transformed with the Agrobacterium T-DNA. Such observations should raise alarm

for those who use Agrobacterium in the laboratory.

The integrated T-DNA will almost certainly act as a mutagen as it integrates

into human chromosomes. Cancer can be triggered by activation of oncogenes (ie,

cancer genes) or inactivation of cancer suppressing genes. Furthermore, the

sequences carried within the T-DNA in the transforming bacterium can be

expressed in the transformed cells (the viral promoter CaMV has been found to be

active in HeLa cells [2]) and constructions currently being tested include

pharmaceutically active human genes such as the interleukins [3].

It is clear that little has been done to prevent environmental escape of the

transforming bacteria or to quantify such releases. In conclusion, a study of

cancer incidence among those exposed to Agrobacterium tumefaciens in the

laboratory and

in the field is needed. It would be worthwhile to screen workers for T-DNA

sequences.

Hope - this was as I suspected and I believe this to be accurate information. Thanks for posting it, although it is really bad news for all of us because no matter which insect you were bitten by or environmental toxin, there is a strong chance the bugs/mites/flies, whatever were carrying agrobacterium , Lyme and co-infections. The possibilities of what this can do seem to be endless and it is frightening. No wonder the lawsuit regarding nanotransformation.com. Big pharma definately want to keep the information regarding transmission of agrobacterium cross contamination quiet. I'm wondering if there is any stopping the agrobacterium. Dr. S believes there is... so we shall see. God help us all. Re: Question for Group

Hi Cerph

You asked: What spraying device do you use? A garden sprayer , chapin brand is

the best 130 years in business & gauranteed for life & , sold at all Ace

hardwares $10-12.00 for the 1 gallon sprayer .

If it breaks they send me a new part or sprayer the same day I call them .

Even an old windex bottle works fine though .

They still never come in my screens a far as I know . I did also move away

from the window they used to come in, but Islept under another window & they

didn t get me

Bye , keep me posted of any theing that helps

God bless you ,

Bill

Many people have issues with sulfa drugs. I have not heard of a connection between iodine and sulfur. Sulfur items are generally good for detoxification - examples are garlic and onions.

question for group

My husband is taking iodine painted on belly, (benedine) for his neuorapthy from chemo. I wrote about it but did not get one response from anyone.

He has to take an anti biotic to prevent the PCP pnemonia. Bactrim was the choice but he had an allergic reaction to it ( it is sulfer based) He was suing the iodine at the same time and I am looking for a connection. Is there an interaction between sulfur and iodine?

thanks in advance

[Guest guest]

I'm sorry you didn't get a response to your first post, Peggy. I'm

allergic to sulfa drugs. A lot of people are and may not even know it

because sulfa drugs are no longer the first choice for most antibiotic

applications, whereas they once were. There is not a problem with iodine

and sulphur-containing items, someone else asked about this recently. Our

biology requires both sulphur and iodine-- there's no way those two

extremely basic requirements are antagonistic. And of all the myths about

iodine that are perpetuated in Western medicine, that one isn't part of it.

ok back to bed for me.

I know of no direct connection between sulfur & iodine. (That's probably why nobody answered the first time.) However, sulfur promotes detox (more in some people than in others, due to genetic differences), & iodine promotes detox, & a few people have reported an uncomfortable synergy when 2 detox regimens are used together.I don't remember the nature of the allergic reaction. Is it possible it was actually a detox reaction, from detoxing uncomfortably fast? If so, the trick would be to moderate the detox with supportive nutrients.

The reaction is severe. It is full body rash, swollen and a skin peel, cracked skin and split heels. Eyes very red and sensitive to light, headache and general feeling of being very sick.

Those all sound as though they could potentially be detox reactions to me. So I would recommend that you go into major detox mode: extra vitamin C (like HUGE amounts, & I would prefer liposomal), detoxing baths or sauna or colonics, drinking extra water, maybe a liver cleanse. Rebounding. Salt loading for the iodine part of the equation.The detox equation is a complex one. Our bodies are designed to detox, but when they get overwhelmed, all the detox pathways get closed down. The more toxic you get, the harder it is to detox. You need to slow down the input of detoxing agents, until you get the output increased.AnneOn Nov 9, 2010, at 12:03 PM, peggy schlayer wrote: The reaction is severe.

It's not Sulfur, it's Sulfa! He is having a sulfa allergic reaction which could turn into the deadly s- Syndrome. He needs to go back to the Dr. who prescribed the Bactrim and probably get on prednisone or something similar to block the allergic reaction.

But they could also be allergy, and it seems unlikely to me that

detoxification (generally a good thing) is accomplished by an antibiotic

(people need to detox FROM antiobiotics). I just don't think that is the

answer here.

I think he's allergic to sulfa. I was given an eyedrop once many years

after it was first established I was allergic, they didn't ask me if I was

allergic to anything, turned out to be sulfa. I used the eyedrops , I got

itchy, had a metallic taste in my mouth, got sick. They said oops, you

really are allergic.

The question, as asked, was about sulfur & iodine. I am embarrassed that I missed this. I had a horrible allergic reaction to a sulfa drug myself, & know other people who have had, too. Sulpha drugs can screw you up all on their own, & it has nothing to do with iodine. (Blushing.)AnneOn Nov 9, 2010, at 6:49 PM, Demetrue@... wrote: It's not Sulfur, it's Sulfa!
