Re: Mycodex / Uncomfortable Salt Treatment

[Guest guest]

1. A web visitor recommended the following to treat pets with mites (quoted below)

"Mycodex House Spray is the only spray that worked in my house for Mites & fleas, I got mine from my vet but you can find it online. If you must use chemicals please don\'t waste your time with other things I tried it all even commercial brands and an exterminator & nothing else worked only the Micodex. I also spray windex inside my windows and around the doors on the outside. Works well. We also had springtails @ the only thing that kept them away was cleaning the floors with windex until we finally found and fixed the leak that was attracting them."

Maybe it's worth a try -- especially for those with pets.

2. I noted that several people expressed the discomfort associated with grainy salt granules on their bodies, bed sheets, clothing; and embarrassment of people noticing "white powder" either on them or in their environment. The salt granules don't dissolve in creams or cold water. How about dissolving the Epsom salt in hot water first, then allowing it to cool down, adding it to their creams / wash lotions and/or pouring it over your body? Has anybody tried that yet??

I tired that last night. It didn't kill them all. My my coat of

epsom salt wasn't thick enough. I think it discouraged them from

certain spots but not kill them. Plus I knocked the power out twice

from my blow dryer. I had to go ask my neighbor to restart it. I

felt one crawl from my cheek and into my ear. I was too tired from

cleaning to do anything. Can anyone give me their EXACT bathing

routinue along with how long it takes? I've taken two showers this

morning and it didn't really do anything. Rita? How many showers a

day? What was your daily cleaning rountinue? How often did you treat

your cube?

,

I wash my skin with Dr. Bronner's castile soap with tea tree oil. It

seems to kill whatever is on my skin, but does not get whatever is

deep inside my skin. The first time you use it it will sting a lot

because it's killing things. After that, it doesn't sting too badly.

I sometimes use " Margo " neem soap from India. It's not as strong as

the castile soap and not quite as effective, but sometimes I alternate

cleaning products. The Margo soap is mild enough for my eyelashes,

and I've used it to get the colonies out of my eyes. I try to leave

the soap on for a few minutes before I rinse off. I use a rough nylon

wash cloth to rub the soap off my skin. For shampoo I alternate

amongst Head & Shoulders, Selsun Blue, Sulfadene (dog shampoo), and

Koo-dies (lice shampoo). I only bath once daily to give my skin a

chance to replenish its natural oils. After the shower, I towel dry

with a microfiber kitchen towel. I bought a 12-pack of them at

Costco. They are large enough to use as small bath towels. I change

the towel everyday. I use almond oil mixed with neem oil on the pubic

area, to keep bugs away from my crotch (sorry), and Dr. Bronner's

peppermint lotion on the rest of my body. Sometimes I rub neem oil on

my ears and the nape of my neck. The Dr. Bronner's products have

worked pretty well for me. I work and cannot go out with salt all

over me. I've been cleaning my work space on Sunday mornings, when no

one is around. When I spray the epsom salt solution, I am careful to

wipe it off the electric cords and anything plastic, otherwise it

dries and looks a mess. If you can't do that, get some BEST YET from

cedarcide and spray that in your work area on a day when no one is

there so the smell won't bother them.

Gotta go,

My bathing routine takes about half an hour. First I wash absolutely

everything with Dial antibacterial bar soap, then I turn off the

shower and put on a coat of tea tree oil conditioner, paying special

attention to areas that the mites like, such as my head, feet, inner

thighs, forearms, and chest. Then, I rinse lightly and make sure a

good bit of the conditioner stays on me. Then, I leave the shower,

pat down with a towel, put vaseline in the key areas the mites like

and spray repellant elsewhere.

During the day, I use Picardin repellants that don't smell and are

less toxic than DEET, they are only effective for some 6 hours, but

it helps sitting in the car or bustling about in my quarters. There

are a lot of Picardin repellants out there. Since I use it everyday,

I make sure the amount of Picardin is low, like 6% During the night

I use Lemon-Eucalyptus and Cedarcide.

I've found that it helps to shave off all body hair. Since I'm a

guy, I've also shaved my head and shave it every day. As far as my

leg hair etc. It takes too long to shave everything every day, so it

gets long fast. I think my electrical razor can't handle all the

shaving, one part already broke and I think the other is going soon

as well.
