Guest guest Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 kihun - I have gone around the block with this many times in my mind. And here are my conclusions, for what they are worth: 1) maybe you are noticing things that have always been there, that you are just more alert to it because of your situation. 2) if in fact it has something to do with your presence, then go to the Avianweb - biting mites. The webmaster reported over 1000 bird keepers writing to her about this problem, and she is calling it a global epidemic (not a kihun epidemic). If it is an epidemic, then in time pretty much everyone will be affected one way or another. 3) you have to work, you have to live. You didn't ask for this. Live your life to the best of your ability. What's the alternative? Do we all drown ourselves, like lemmings to the sea???

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Sorry to hear you had a bad day. I am not sure what to do in that case. The one person who got them from me was a friend and she let me know immediately. I was able to tell her about baths, cloths and DE. Its quite a different thing with people at work. Their responses may not be so polite if you were to tell them the truth to help them out. Wish I had some productive advice to give. Hope you feel better and that those you work with are not affected long term.J.

I'm at a conference and I baked all my clothes before going. But we have a workshop all day in a closed room, about 20 of us. I have the crawlies today.

I just was so stressed out thinking that I'm the cause. I kept on thinking of them going home and just hanging their sweaters or coats in their closet and the rest is history. Have you guys had this happen? What do you do (what can you do???) in this type of situation? Stressed... kihun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Perhaps the room you were in was infested with collembola, and that's why people were scratching, and why you felt crawlies. myrtle > > Such as your co-workers? > I'm at a conference and I baked all my clothes before going.
