Re: Has anyone used Ivermectin or Stromectol to get rid of these things?

[Guest guest]

My memory is that this med has worked for people on the site, but only

temporarily. You might want to put Ivermectin into the search box, but

be prepared to struggle through a lot of repetition!

I think Mel is one of the most experienced persons w/ iver. If my

memory is correct, Mel has taken it for 2 years now without side

effects?

I don't think Iver alone will solve your problems but it will help

kill/purge your internal parasites. If you do this while you treat

your environment/car, you'll have much success. Treating body but

not env will re-infest the body. Treating env but not treating body

will re-infest the body...

Yeah, it's a tough road. Hang in there. I have iver on order (8

weeks worth) and waiting for it to come in.

I don't know what I have Mel... sigh...

A website says this about sarcoptic mange mites:

" Mite infections on humans are self-limiting (ie they go away on

their own) as the mite is not able to complete its life cycle on

the " wrong " host. The condition is extremely itchy, though, while it

lasts. The mites are most active where skin is warm (in bed and

where clothing is snug). "

HA YEAH RIGHT! I've just come to the point where I dismiss these

scientific claims of mites being unable to live on/in humans...

I don't itch so it's a mystery. Can't wait for iver to come in tho.

Hi HM. My husband had bird mites from about aug. 2007 to mid feb 2008.

He started Stromectol in November 2007 and took every week for 5-6 weeks

straight and we fogged our house with CedarCide about midway through his

treatment. He did not have any bites after november but had crawlies

for several days after we sprayed with cedarcide. Dermatologist gave

him medication called Gabapentin 300mg to heal damaged nerve endings.

He was prescribed 3xday but was only able to take at bedtime as they

made him so woozy he could not function. We also used a lot of other

things including windex which helped a lot but not completely for us.

We have had no activity since feb. Good luck to you and there are lots

of helpful people on this site. Joan

Hi Mel, so do you have an idea of what you might have? Since our

stories are similar, do you think you have sarcoptic scabies, not

bird/rat mites?

The specks I can see always exhibit key characteristics. To the

naked eye, they appear white or black. Upon closer examination w/ a

microscope the white speck looks is the infamous " lint fiber " thingy

but it's not a ball of just white fiber. There's always a strand of

black/navy colored fiber that's wound up with or goes through the

white fiber. jill has pics on her site that is exactly this.

The black specks I see, sometimes look like some debri but most

times are navy versions of the white specks upon closer

examination. They are balls of fiber. Weird. Many morgellens

folks describe this although I never caught anything ever coming out

of me. I do feel bite and stings.

If you purchase a used car, make sure it is free and clear!!!!!! My

nightmare started with that car. I wish I can just go back to the

that day I found it on craigslist and change it so that I never

found it.

Hi, Misty -

Welcome to the club no one wants to join!

I tried Stromectol for 2 weeks last year and seemed to get worse;

certainly made me feel sick.

I'd like to hear a bit, if you wouldn't mind, about the two people

who were helped - how long were they bothered and how long did they

take the meds? How long have they been over it?

It's good to hear all sides.

Thanks,

Bessie

Mel,

Ah shucks, any thing I can do to help

If what Kihun has is sarcoptic mange mites, he should go back and

read Frito's recent post about Borax (her message was titled " Borax " )

in it he will find a recipe for killing mange mites on dogs using

borax and hydrogen peroxide. It could be very useful to him.

I wonder if Fenbendazole (also a wormer) would be more useful than

ivermectin?

Mel has a FenBen protocol on her site.

Kihun, a question, have you experienced the " swarming " and night

biting that other people talk about? I think that is one way that

mange mites might differ from rat or bird mites. I don't know for

sure, I would have to do more research, but I think they stick

closer to the host than rat or bird mites, so your enviroment might

not be the nightmare that some other people talk about.

Is this the case?

Pretty good. I'm a few weeks behind you on getting rid of stuff. Just

have about three days more of work then the house will be pretty much

free of most nesting material. My mite load is low, the baths keep it

down, just no knockout. My house is too big with too many danger

zones still, so my hot spots get me now and then. I'm trying three

weeks of ivermectin, 12 mg, once a week, to see if it helps. I've

been slacking on the tea tree bath, which I think really helped you.

Overall pretty good and under control. And I finally manscaped almost

everything, lol, scary site in the mirror!

Keep going Tommy, you've already shaved your head, now shave

EVERYTHING. These buggies hang out on hair so give them less reason

to hang. I wish I had done it sooner. I keep my body well oiled so

whenever the hair grows back in it doesn't itch. And be sure to use a

sharp razor - it will help to prevent ingrown hair. Shave in the

direction the hair is growing to prevent irratation. Be sure to take

before and after piks so they can be added to the site family album,

just like requireshelp did...lol.

b

ps take the time when you get home from work to do the bath routine I

sent you and it will eventually, two to three weeks, bring your mite

load way down

Hello HM.

I, too, am a new member. I did try Ivermectin and had enormous success. The infestation began at a house in CT on about July 20th. My former fiance, three yr old son and I were infested there then. The infestation was horrific at its inception. We were tormented day and night, (especially at night), with crawling and biting. It was so bad, these things were biting our scalps, our groin areas, ect. Our lips, our nostrils and ears were actually bloody and raw. I was lucky not to have been working at the time as sleep was not easily acquired. We wound up throwing out all of the furniture, etc.- beds, couches, drapes, rugs... We hired a professional exterminator who returned week after week. Finally, in early August we moved out of our home and stayed six weeks between several hotels as well as a campsite. In the course of all of this mess, our relationship became extremely strained, and ultimately we decided not to marry.

Ivermectin was very successful at ridding our physical persons of these little bugs.

Before I went back and revisited the house to retreive some of my belongings after our breakup, my three yr old and I were actually free of the infestation for about a month. It was only after picking up some clothing (that I thought had been treated successfuly) that I and my boy managed to become reinfested. Since we left CT unfortunately we have infested two more houses. I tried desperately to get the CDC, and every state and local official to pay attention to our plight, but to no avail.

Problem: Ivermectin will get them out of your nose and orifices- temporarily... but as soon as you reenter your already infested environment or put on your already infested clothing, you reinfest yourself.

My biggest problem, I believe, is that after leaving my fiance, I bought a car and returned to his infested property with it to pick up clothing that was apparently contaminated. If I could throw away all of my clothing and my car, or get these items vaulted or tented and fumigated with vikane, while I and my son again retreat with Ivermectin, I believe we could be free once again. Problem? MONEY!

And now I have moved into a new home in desperation. I payed to live in a hotel room for a week and a half recently, while I begged for help from officials and hospitals. I simply could not swing it anymore.

What now? Well, I have an incredibly infested new home that also needs to be tented and fumigated. Wherever I go, I bring these horrible creatures.

Hmmm... Suicide is not an option, so I pray.

Yes, try Ivermectin, but simultaneously have professionals tent and fumigate EVERYTHING you own with something as serious as vikane, if you can afford it. Make sure that the people who do the fumigation use the maximum amount of the gas allowed and for as many hours as allowed by law, rule or policy. After spending that kind of money, you want to be sure the "fix" will actually work.

I wish you the best, HM. Happy New Year to you and to all who read this.

Hi s.ross01,

Thank you for replying to my question. I'm so sorry to hear you've

suffered so much and lost so much, especially your fiance. Just

curious, if the Ivermectin worked before have you considered taking

it again & this time staying home & treating your environment at the

same time?

Also, I'm curious did your son get treated with Ivermectin? And, how

long were you on it? People I've talked to have been on it 4-6 weeks

while living at home & treating their environment. It seemed to work

for them.

I would say I'm 80% better at this time. But I just got a

prescription for the Ivermectin today. Hope it'll take care of the

20% left to go.

A few things have made a tremendous difference for me: eating tons of

citrus (oranges, lemons) & a little Apple Cider Vinegar with

the " mother " daily to get my PH correct, ESP botanicals, alternate

taking baths in essential oils, salts or vinegar. I also like the

Dr. Bronner's soaps (Peppermint & there is a Tea Tree Oil).

As for my enviroment these are the things I saw the most improvement

from:

1st - Fogging with Cedarcide. I noticed a huge difference after

each fogging, but did not get rid of completely.

2nd - Spraying with Neem Oil. I bought a 2 gal pesticide sprayer

from farm supply store. I spray it everywhere like all floors,

baseboards, furniture (leather & cloth) and clothes in the closet.

Sometimes I go crazy and spray the walls & air too. Careful, it is

slippery on hard surfaces. I ordered Neem in bulk on line. If

memory serves I think you can get a gallon for arround 80 bucks. You

only have to use a little - it goes a long way. I think you mix 4

teaspoons/gallon to spray (I would put in extra since I like to go

overkill). Sometimes I add a little tea tree oil to the mix. This

is not an instant kill. It confuses them and they forget to

eat/breed. I found a study online where it was tested on chicken

farms and proved extremely effective at killing bird mites. (someone

on this site recently mentioned the same report I saw) In addition,

neem oil is a wonderful natural pesticide against many many bugs. As

a bonus, we add neem oil to our baths sometimes. Its found in most

natural scabies treatments. It kills the scabies mite & bird mites!!

I would spray the house with neem then fog with Cedarcide. We would

then leave for 5-6 hours. Did this about every 4-7 days. 4 days

seems the best. When I fogged/sprayed I would get crazy. I would

spray and fog the couch on the top & then turn it over and do the

same to the bottom. What is nice about the sprayer is you have a

wand and can spray under everything and in every nook & crevice.

3rd - Getting rid of mattress and going to air mattress. Huge,

Huge difference. Even though I had wrapped the mattress in vinyl, I

kept finding holes in the plastic.

4th - If you are spraying the neem and introducing water, you will

need to have a dehumidifier going. I like to go overkill & I have

two running at all times for a 1,500 sq foot house.

5th - Of course, the regular laundry every day thing and ritual

cleaning.

I've also done something called the " Master Cleanse " (I've done it

twice). It is cheap and very effective. I did this when I didn't

think I had the strengh mentally or physically to keep going. I got

my energy back, lost weight, felt so good on it & the bug levels

improved. If you want more info, I'm happy to email the book and my

suggestions.

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm happy to know the Ivermecitn

has helped someone else. Hope my info will help you!
