Guest guest Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 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 April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Yes, Cecilia I too feel constantly on the alert - my mind will never forget the horror, every once in the while if I get an itch, a normal itch like many times b4 mites visited me, I go on an all-out search and get out the hand-held microscope etc etc, and examine it every day, but then it stops itching just like all the times before mites. But I have never really escaped those days. In my 70 years before mites, I never thought twice if I had an itch. Now I live in fear of carpets,dogs and cats. When I touch an old dust mite carpet, my body begins to react in an allergic way.Not sure if that's all in my head or what. All I know is that even though we do heal from this, we are different people now.

No more mites, but some skinblisters on my 9 year old on and off. I also have stuffed sinuses at night and need to sleep 9-10 hours a night to be able to work, so some kind of fatigue. Also about once a week night sweats. This is nothing though compared to the mite-mare. My head still spins around mites and bites and even though I allmost do normal laundry (except only using towels once after shower) and cleaning only once a week, I guess my mind is still affected. Also losing a house and everything you own, that has put me in a bad economical situation is hard, but if we only have health in the family it was well worth it. Take care and good luck with the dog!

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Hi! So I´m not alone being still mentally affectes of the mites. I have the same issues as you, but I try to train ie try to cuddle with friends dogs etc (evven if I don´t like it) so that I will get used to it. It will take time I guess. I hope it soon gets better for you!

It would be wonderful if you could save to buy a house again, something with a small yard would be good for the girls. When they measure floor space here in the US they go by square feet... so I am not sure how large your current place is. I think a meter is close to the size of a yard (slightly less, but not much), with a yard being 3 feet long. So I multiplied by nine and came to about 621 square feet if it were measured as a yard. That is small for a family. > >I hope you can buy a house which would be bigger too! > >Yes, my health has been up and down alot.

It would be wonderful if you could save to buy a house again, something with a small yard would be good for the girls. When they measure floor space here in the US they go by square feet... so I am not sure how large your current place is. I think a meter is close to the size of a yard (slightly less, but not much), with a yard being 3 feet long. So I multiplied by nine and came to about 621 square feet if it were measured as a yard. That is small for a family. > >I hope you can buy a house which would be bigger too! > >Yes, my health has been up and down alot. I've been doing better since I started the Moringa... that stuff is amazing. Depression lifted with it. Energy went up. I just can't say enough positive about that stuff. > >I'm very excited about my daughter and her family coming from Germany in July for a month. We have lots of activities planned and my husband will be off work for an entire month too. So I'm really excited about it. My place is not that big either, but I bought small cots (fold up) for the girls to sleep on. > >I love being a grandma and I want to spoil those little girls of ours, well, all of them really. > > > > >________________________________ >From: " Cecilia Borg " <ceciliaborg@...> >bird mites >Sent: Thursday, June 7, 2012 1:46:57 AM >Subject: To > > > > >Hi, LInda! >Great to hear from you.

She also has gotten staph-infection on her skin on the buttocks, but I keep it down by bleachbaths and it is only very little. >>So I am mostly happy about our situation, at least if you compare with how it used to be before the move.

The mites are not disturbing my sleep either. Is is more like waking up in the morning to notice that I have a few new bites in the groin area, which is surely not healthy, but not devastating either. A full moon tonight is also not helpful. >>Apart from that and the strange film on my hair, my life is pretty normal and happy again. >> >>As for cleaning I do the hoovering once a week and a wet mopping with Lysol complete clean once a week. >>I do not need to vacuum the upholstery in the living room anymore. I still add Lysol as a conditioner in the washing machine. I do normal routine cleaning now plus a thorough cleaning in individual rooms now and then. Most recently I have cleaned the whole kitchen in and out, but without mopping the walls... that was a first ;-) >> >>Still believe that the ABX has been my life savior... and everyone in this group of course ! >> >>Best wishes, >>Aggi >> >> >> >> >> >> >>________________________________ >>Von: Cecilia Borg <ceciliaborg@...> >>An: " bird mites " <bird mites > >>Gesendet: 15:38 Donnerstag, 31.Mai 2012 >>Betreff: Re: I used Lysol successfully >> >> >> >>HI, Aggi! >>So sorry to hear you´re getting bit again.

Wherever it resides, it is nearly impossible to get rid of. I still have symptoms too at my home. Even with meds (and I'm taking a ton of them), I'm still getting sensations on the feet and hands. I did some soaks that Bill recommended and still getting these sensations.
