Welcome message from fellow sufferer

[Guest guest]

Welcome ,

If you are here you may be feeling some of the desperation I felt when I got here. If so, you are in the right place. I hope you will find here what I am finding, which is a rich source of experimental procedures others are using, testing, explaining, and reporting back to us. Some of the solutions are safer than others, and these days I am choosing to use safer products on my body than in the past. For one thing, for me, I've been fighting what ails me for so long that I have had to do the same thing I do when we have a really rainy April: get on with my life the best I can in spite of it.

On top of the amazing synergy here, and the really rare lack of judgmentalism and gossip, this group is very encouraging. And active. They may not answer everything you write, but that may also be that so many people post every day that your message may "fall down" the list. Don't be discouraged, it's never about you, messages just sometimes slip past everyone's notice. If that happens, just RE-POST until you get the answer or info you are after.

You are no longer alone.

My wish for you is the same as it is for me: to get over this like (uninfected and thus clueless) people in my life keep telling me.

Meanwhile, check out the files the moderator has posted

bird mites/files/

and also go take a look at (and maybe join) another group created by a member for members to post their own critter photos and articles. It is brand new (last week) so there is not a lot up there yet, but there will be. Among other things, we are preparing a Word form that people can complete so we can compile a continually evolving source of organized data.
