Re: Doxycycline- plus surfactants

[Guest guest]

Hi Fritolay- please let me know how your doxy experiment goes. I have

something painful inside my nose for about a month now that does not

seem to go away with anything I've tried so far.

While you are in the thinking mode I wanted to share one theory:

I've read that insects have a wax coat that protects them from

insecticides and the way biological pesticides work is in combination

with " surfactants " to get rid of the wax surface so that the enzymes can

get to the insect body.

Reading on surfactants it appears that they lower the surface tension of

the material they become in contact with. For example, soaps and

detergents all use surfactants to loosen up the dirt. Windex also

contains surfactants, that's why it bubbles up a little when you shake

it. Concentrated soaps like Dawn also has a bunch of surfactants. Would

that be the reason why Windex is so effective and diluted ammonia isn't

against the mites?

Diluted ammonia doesn't contain surfactants and in theory the protective

layer of the insects would prevent them from being harmed by the

ammonia. In the case of Windex, the surfactant may loosen up the

protective wax, thus leaving the insect body vulnerable to the ammonia-D

in the Windex.

Any comments are welcome- MM

This could be the reason the Borax has an affect on them. It is a

salt.
