Guest guest Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Bill has posted in the past that cigar smoke seems to keep the mites out of his mouth and throat. Also, I live on what used to be a very huge pig farm (long ago) so when I first got infested and got no answers from doctors I started to read about mites that affected pigs. I did read about a sarcoptic (It has been a while but I believe that is what it is) mite that affects pigs and on all 3 websites that I found that talked about it, there was a side note that pigs affected by the mites would begin to more around frantically if cigarette smoke was blown on them. I think the pig farmers were using the smoke to determine which pigs were affected. I'm with fritolay I think smoking would just add to your health problems if you start doing it just to get rid of the mites. Also smokers and nonsmokers are affected by the mites so it is not something you want to take up if you are a nonsmoker just to see if it will get rid of the mites. > > > > > ----- Forwarded Message ---- > From: fritolay66 <fritolay66@...> > bird mites > Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 11:51:04 PM > Subject: Re: smoking cigarettes and mites > > > Would seem smokers and non smokers are affected.
