Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Also if you're having a hardtime with them buggers in the eyes I use the back wand massager on closed eye to get them moving the put directly on eyebrow and blink constantly and after I add sulfur drops. I do the same process with the ears to eradicate them and add sulfur drops. - Adam On Fri, 22 Aug 2008 1:51 am, Adam wrote: > Pamela > I've used > > Biotene mouth wash, it is alcohol free and is antibacterial.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Thanks, Adam and everyone else that responded. Do you say that you use the Biotene mouthwash in your eyes with no problem? Also, are sulfur eye drops sold over the counter? I have some powdered sulfur that Mel recommended. Maybe I can make my own? Electrical tape, wow! I never would have thought of that. Amazing what we’ll try for relief! J I agree that the Neti pot has been helping and giving me some relief. I just don’t understand why my eyes are so swollen every morning. There are less of the mites on my body and in the house. I guess they know that their time is limited and this is their one last gasp. They are hanging on pretty tight to my ears, too. Many thanks for sharing.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Pam I use it in and on lashes as well. No problem its has bio-active enzymes no alcohol. It doesn't irritate or dry them out, the sulfur I use is ionic sulfur O2 water 500 ppm which you can buy 44$ a whole gallon that will last for months! I get a mini spray travel bottle filled it and sprayed directly at my eyes and then close and spray top lid and lashes, and with kleenex I wipe each eye inward out. It burns a fairly little for first application on eyes for like a second or two. It doesn't burn skin so don't worry bout that. You can buy a gallon of O2 sulfur at kornax.com here's the link : http://www.kornax.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY & Store_Code=KE & Category_\ Code=X On Fri, 22 Aug 2008 10:30 am, Pamela wrote: > Thanks, Adam and everyone else that responded. > > Do you say that you use the Biotene mouthwash in your eyes with no > problem? > > Also, are sulfur eye drops sold over the counter?
