Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 My favorite Adidas trainer pants that I've adored for 10 years has burned! Grrrr I'm mad at myself. I should've been more careful about Nylon melting as ppl here have said. Cotton fine. Nylon, becareful!!!! (actually don't nuke nylon at all!) My polyester shorts come out fine though.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I agree with requireshelp. Maybe you should work on your attraction to them. You can do this by doing simple things like cutting out sugar and alcohol. It took me a long time to realize the problem lied more with me than my environment. The more I worked on myself, the more they seems to disappear. I would also suggest a parasite cleanse. > > My guess is that you are killing mites off your cloths by boiling/microwaving/ironing them, but your environment/body is still contaminated with mites.. Microwaving cloths (but moistening them first) has never failed me, as long as my body and the environment is decontaminated. > > > > > > ________________________________ > From: leigh_anderton <leigh_anderton@...> > bird mites > Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 9:23:39 PM > Subject: microwaving > > > I have tried microwaving, ironing, steaming, etc. I doesn't seem to help. Is there something specific I can do? Even tried boiling clothes, still seem to live.. Are they immortal? Right now I am baking my sheet. Hope it works!LOL I am also dipping my dogs in paramite, for cattle. Let see how that works.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I prefer baking my clothes in the oven. 170 degrees for 30 min. This works for me unless they are coming out of my body. Which has happened several times. I literally had flames coming from a pair of pants that I put in the microwave. Zipper must have been exposed, although I tried to keep it hidden.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Doesn't that melt the plastic zippers in the oven?

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 , I have never ruined any of my clothing when baking them. I would put my oven at a lower temp if it was available. 170 is the lowest it will go. I also preheat it. None of my plastic zippers have melted. The only time I have done this is when the mites seem extremely bad or when I am getting ready to go on a vacation. The last thing I want to do is infect the people I am visiting. So far I haven't passed it on to anyone that I am aware of. When I am done baking them I put them in the ex-large ziplock bags they sell for storage and put those in my suitcase.
