A Shout Out to FritoLay

[Guest guest]

Hi Fritolay, I'm sorry - didn't realize you replied already, and am

having the worst time with this forum. It's really easy to keep

posting someone else's post and I don't really know yet how to

navigate this great forum properly. Sorry you aren't feeling well.

Hmmm. My MSM says it's for the TREATMENT of arthritis and arthritis

sufferers use it more than anybody else. I know that bird mites can

carry Lyme disease, like ticks can, but it's extremely rare for them

to be the vectors, so don't think the worst automatically.

I think you are sick because of the stress of moving and having

these mites for so long. It's normal to be sick after this much

stress. Sometimes you get sick and then suddenly you get better.

So if you think you have some mites in your nose, " Gargling " your

sinuses for sure, actually, I don't even think I'd use a Neti pot or

anything else that can't be autoclaved. Just one more thing to wash,

too. I'd just wash my hands well and cup them with whatever you are

using and raise my hands to my nose and " gargle " away. Warm salt

water? If you use a Neti maybe you can microwave your neti after use

it by filling it with water in it until it boils. That should take

care of the mites anyway. My sister uses a neti pot, but I swear she

gets tons of sinus infections, and I think some kinds of staph can

live in a neti, because only an autoclave gets 100% of bacteria. She

still swears by it and does put it through the dishwasher, but you

can do the " gargling " action without a special pot. Nasal passages

are the natural home of staph bacteria. Recently found this out. I

personally, would just wash my hands well, and wouldn't want to use

something that had been in my nose over and over again. Personal

preference. My sister would totally disagree, but does get a lot of

sinus infections and I don't.

So, I think the Iver will take care of those burrowing mites in

your nose pretty soon. What a drag for now though! I think I've

feel a real tickly in my left nostril for about a week now which I

hope is not a mite, as I am really allergic to mites. I was already

getting monthly dust mite shots for two years, and have had these

mites for just over two months and this time my dust mite shot blew

my arm up like Popeye, except the upper arm, not the forearm. I am

not itching today, because the shots do help for a while with

itching, but I'm sure I'm getting bit. FritoLay, you are a special

person, you help everyone, and I'm sorry I didn't see your reply

earlier, but this forum is still a mystery to me. Your cats sound

really beautiful. My cat is brown with a black tail tip, like a

cougar. She is quite ladylike, unlike me. LOL. My best, Katzy
