Mites d By People Pets Always!

[Guest guest]

Majority of my infestation was face, hair, neck, upper back, under breast, and

shoulders. Worst was face, hair, neck. I would get whisp or bite feelings ankles

calve, never whelps or lesions like upper torsel. Now my immunity is strong

again

I no longer know these mites and parasites are in the environment. Yet they

surely are. This being the reason I can have pets, and not be reinfested. Not

unlike a animal with Lyme and weakened immune I was a host for infestation.

Demodicosis (Demodex cati, a Mange Mite)

The Demodex live in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands; problems develop

when the number of mites exceeds that which is tolerated by the immune system.

Usually the lesions are found around the eyes, face and head, and neck.

Demodicosis causes an inflammatory reaction, often leading to secondary

bacterial infections. Demodex mites can cause a patchy scaly reaction on the

skin surface, and what we term ceruminous otitis externa, a greasy ear

discharge. Immunosuppression, metabolic disease, and/or genetics may predispose

certain cats to demodicosis. A newer mite, Demodex gatoi has been isolated in

cats, and lives on the surface rather than down in the skin.
