Update and questions for Jeff, Z, Frito

[Guest guest]

Count me as another dehumidifier user. We

are starting the 4th week and it seems to have made a significant

difference, after we purchased 2 more, for a total of 3. Also added Nylar and

bifitherin to the vacuuming. I am starting to have longer periods of feeling

normal.

Jeff – if we have Collombolla, would

the dehumidifiers still work to eradicate those?

Thanks J. for the tip about microwaving my

sheets – has saved me lots of time and energy.

Also, wanted to share that Ross Dress for

Less has all sizes of satin sheets for very cheap (9.99 for twin) and the mites

cannot seem to grow in those.

Also, J. iodine works like magic in, on

and all around the ears to help clear up mite bites. I thought I would have to

go to the emergency room a couple of times, mine were so bad, but I knew

antibiotics would make my situation worse.

I love the ESP soaps, and they are making a

lot of nasty stuff come out of my skin.

Z – how long do you remember using

the ESP soaps when the biting stopped completely?

I am sleeping on a massage table in the

living room and can finally get a good night’s sleep away from the

infested bedroom. I think the bed rails were too close to the floor and they

could hop on me all night.

I have been using saran wrap over the top

of my face when I sleep to keep them out of my eyes. It works better than

anything else I have tried.

So does using lavender baby oil gel to

keep them out of my private parts.

I started 1 tspn of Himilayan sea salt sprinkled

on every meal and some buffered vitamin C to accompany. Does anyone (Frito?) know

the best amounts of these to take for good results?

Many thanks, all. You are my lifeline.

Hi Pamela,

As far as I know, ALL life forms depend on water. So if you can make

it dry enough for a long enough period of time, it should kill

whatever is there. The question is whether a dehumidifier will make

it dry enough to kill off whatever your particular pest is. Maybe

there are some life forms that can survive indefinitely at humidity

levels lower than what the dehumidifier can produce. I don't know

anything about Collembolla, but via a google search I found:

http://www.collembola.org/

Which states:

Ecology: Collembola are soil and litter dwelling, preferring wet or

damp surroundings. ...

Abiotic factors: In Hypogastruridae, the development is impacted as

follows: 1. the lethal temperatures are -4°C and 28°C, 2. the optimum

temperature range is 9°C to 12°C, 3. the hygrometric optimum is

98-100% relative humidity; 4. the lethal hygrometric minimun is 93%

relative humidity (Thibaud, 1970:161-173).

So, if the type of collembola you have also requires high relative

humidity, then I think a dehumidifier would be particularly effective

against them.

Good idea to sleep on the massage table in the living room. If you

can get some plastic sheet (drop-cloth -used to protect furniture

during painting) to drape over the side (but not touch the floor) that

should make it especially difficult for mites / Collemolla to climb up

the legs of the table and get to you. I used a drop-cloth over my bed

for that reason.

Pamela

I must stress that when I got the order of esp products in the mail

we were having such success with the heating that I KNOW my

environment was free of the 'things'. I still had a few of them

comming out of my skin, so for me it was a couple of days before

christmas that I got the products and by christmas day they were

gone.....

I would be so interested to see if others had that sort of quick

response if they used the esp away from their infested environments.

I have also had an experience of picking up something again from

sleeping on an old couch at my nightshift job (I got this job after

the epidmenic to pay for the debt) .... why this possibly could have

been in some random couch months after getting rid of our

infestation, I just dont know.....but I was able to get rid of that

in 2 days as well....I soaked all my clothing in water like Rita has

suggested, and used the esp and I didnt need to treat my home

environment at all....that was months ago now, and I have simply

avoided the couch at work like the plague....this 'thing' is so

strange....

So Pamela, that was my experience, It sounds like you are getting

better....if I were you I would just keep doing exactly what you are

doing now and wait it out....If you are seeing a few days per week of

freedom from this, then this should all be over in a month for you...

Having periods of time where you feel normal is so encouraging!!!!!!

When I reached that point it was all down hill for the 'mites' from

there....faster than I even dreamed was possible....I had my life back

Your welcome Pamela. You may also want to try the sulffer and Oragano oil. Big helps.

Salt and c is a pace not race kinda thing. Start at a one to one ratio. 1000mgs c to one tsp, which equals 1000mgs salt. I started at three and three thousand and it took me a week to reach bowel tolerance in which everything did not come out of me. If you increase you do it in small increments in weekly periods. Too much too soon can make you herx pretty badly and you don't want to do that. A mild herx, one in which you can still function is what you want. It is a time investment in which you will find quite worth it. Keep fighting girlie.....Frito
