Guest guest Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hi, !|Thanks so much for your info. My daughers blisters are on the buttocks and back thighs, so it seems to be much easier to try the vinegar on that area. It doesnt seem to be any harifollicles where she has the blisters though, but I will definately try your suggestion.Hope you had a great new years and talk to yousoon again.HugsCecilia From: "Goldstein@..." <Goldstein@...> Tim <bird mites > Sent: Friday, January 6, 2012 10:29 PM Subject: To Cecilia Hi Cecilia,I hope things are going much better for you and the family! Happy New Year to all.I just wanted to let you know that what I believe I've had is called folliculitis... I've been rinsing my hair after shampooing in the shower with vinegar. I told you about it a while ago and that I would give you an update. This stuff works. I think I've completely gotten rid of the folliculitis. I read on the internet how it worked for others and it appears at about 1-1/2 weeks to be working. I shampoo hair 2x, put on some cream rinse and let it sit for a while, rinse that off, then put on apple cider vinegar and let it sit on the hair for about 3-4 minutes, then rinse that off. My hair smells like vinegar even after rinsing it off, but that is okay for the time being. I just got my hair cut and you could really smell the hair when the hair dresser was cutting the hair. I didn't say anything about it.It appears that it is gone. I'll give more updates later. You have to be careful not to get the vinegar in the eyes when doing the hair. But this is all doable in the shower. Most likely is better than bleach.Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hi Sad girl I had tthes really strong bites too , piercers , hurt so bad . , I used to get them bad in the kitchen . I couldnt stop them until I took a whole gallon of water with 1 cup borax in it & dumped it on the floor & mopped it all over , my kitchen is 14.5 ft X 8ft . It stopped them , I did it daily. Also 2 cups epsom salts in a gollon of water really stopped them too, I left it to dry to a glaze & it locks the bug into its super hard salt crust. Even pennies on the floor would be bonded to the floor , I coulnt even knock them lose with my boot no matter how hard I kicked them. Bye bye bug : ) .. ..but with a little warm water the epsom melts away & rinses off when I wanted to clean it up. ( Epsom is a salt so it does rust metal , I put vaseline on the metal objects 1st , like light switch plates , rods ets Epsom is a huge deterent to bugs too. Rita an old poster taught us that , it works ! I know the feeling the they are coming from inside , I don't belive it though., I think they attack the same hole again & again. I use the peroxide mix of water & borax on it anytime I feel a bite . I kills it . For feet I soak them & soak them ....30 mins at a time in rubber boots. 2 times per day if needed with 4 tbls borax & 3 cups of water . I switch to epsom salt of the same amounts every 3 days or so, keeps them guessing so they don't get used to anything & become immune . I wear leather boots always & my feet never get bit. But if I wear regular shoes I get bit up. It is external , its a bug , kill it it will die. God bless you Sad girl, Bill ps tri-jet foggers from cedarcide ($200.00)filled with 1 cup borax 1 cup windex 1 cup epsom 1.5 gallons of warm water , and ran for 20 mins in each room was the turning point for the piercers ( granddadies I think they are ) . tri-jet foggers save alot of time mopping cielings , it makes a fog I can't even se thru in a 12X16ft room in 20 mins .. Again bye bye bug . ! . It works very very well pss how is it going with the bp ( benzyol peroxide : There is that peroxide chemical again ,this time using benzine as its weapon to penetrate into the skin. One poster used peroxide in voporizers , she said her birds loved to stand in the mist propelled from the vaporizer with a fan. & it helped clear the environment . ------------------------------On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 3:30 PM EST Sad Girl wrote:>>Yes,linda>One day this will be a thing of the past!>Imagine,how happy we will be then!:-)>>>>------------------------------>On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 16:08 PST Goldstein@... wrote:>>>Thanks so much Aggi and Cecilia.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hi CI did not feel enough energy to make Easter dinner, but made my boneless leg of lamb yesterday. I tried a new recipe which was amazing and if anyone wants the recipe I'd be glad to share it. Marinated meat for 2 days. I'm excited to have family here and can't wait, but there is still some nervousness about having them stay here, even though I don't believe we have mites at all now. There are still unknowns and I am trying not to dwell on them as Doris had said. My overall health and energy are pretty pitiful a good part of the time and I hope I can deal with having 4 people here in this smallish townhouse for a whole month. I am not used to having children around, although these two granddaughters are extremely well behaved and polite thanks to a fairly strict daughter and son-in-law who have pretty good rules and boundaries. But a lot of work for me and I'm a little concerned, but will keep it simple hopefully. (I always want to do more than what is really good for me). My son-in-law has a big Irish family, very tight knit, and everyone visits... so now you get the picture. I shouldn't complain and I love having everyone, but I hope I have the health and energy to deal with it all. Hard to go with the flow when you aren't feeling well. C, I was so happy to hear that someone returned your smart phone. My gosh that is incredible and some people are so honest. I would have located you too to return your phone. It is a life line for most of us. Hope you had not purchased a new phone already. Here in the US you can return almost anything up to a certain time, and believe me, I do. heeheeFrom: "ILIKE TREES" <wherearetheangels@...>bird mites Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2012 10:28:29 AMSubject: Re: To lindaGlad ,u managed make nice Easter dinner n doing good things,for self if ableWhat's,happening regards ur mess now n ur health?Glad daughter n granddaughter better yes,be lovely when u can see themNot easy so farawayTx x------------------------------On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 09:15 PDT Goldstein@... wrote:>I know you Doris and Cecilia have been through so much, but I am so sorry for your financial situations as well... just so hard to start over financially.

My overall health and energy are pretty pitiful a good part of the time and I hope I can deal with having 4 people here in this smallish townhouse for a whole month. I am not used to having children around, although these two granddaughters are extremely well behaved and polite thanks to a fairly strict daughter and son-in-law who have pretty good rules and boundaries. But a lot of work for me and I'm a little concerned, but will keep it simple hopefully. (I always want to do more than what is really good for me). My son-in-law has a big Irish family, very tight knit, and everyone visits... so now you get the picture. I shouldn't complain and I love having everyone, but I hope I have the health and energy to deal with it all. Hard to go with the flow when you aren't feeling well. > > >C, I was so happy to hear that someone returned your smart phone. My gosh that is incredible and some people are so honest. I would have located you too to return your phone. It is a life line for most of us. Hope you had not purchased a new phone already. Here in the US you can return almost anything up to a certain time, and believe me, I do. heehee > > > > > > > > Re: New to this group, and I hope you can help me >> >>I went to Dr. Zhang and he gave me some pills to keep taking to desensitize me, problem is he didn't believe they could be living on me or in me and now after 2 weeks I'm feeling a lot more pin bricks all over me all the time whereas before I was mainly getting bites on my feet and fingers at night..I think the idea of desensitizing is a good one as I still think these mites are around my daughter's family and cats but they're not bothered whereas I am but the fact that I'm not getting something to also kill them worries me since I'm feeling worse and feeling that he doesn't fully comprehend my situation and therefore I'm not being treated properly and may just be making my situation worse. >> >> >> > >> > >> > Hello all, I know, after reading many of the posts here, that many of >> > you are suffering terribly from multiple diseases, perhaps caused by >> > bird mites, perhaps not.
