Guest guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 This bacteria is it. Doxy kills it and bleach bathes are recommended. Keeping clothing etc. and environments clean help. Insects, mites, spiders carry it. It aids the critters. From personal experience, olive leaf powder will help rub it off the skin. It forms the biofilm. Recent studies show that the infected female gives birth to infected off spring. Thus the increase. Kill it, and the critters can't live. Exert: Wolbachia are endosymbiotic bacteria that live inside the cells of their invertebrate hosts. They are transmitted directly from mother to offspring, and spread through populations by manipulating the reproduction of their hosts. The most common reproductive manipulation responsible for the spread of these bacteria, called " cytoplasmic incompatibility, " arises when infected males mate with uninfected females, resulting in fewer offspring than normal. There are fitness costs for the hosts associated with Wolbachia infections, most commonly involving a reduction in egg production. Theory predicts that this detrimental effect of Wolbachia on its host should result in selection for the bacteria to evolve a more benign lifestyle, changing the bacterium from being parasitic to more mutualistic. We document such a shift in a Wolbachia infection of fruit flies (Drosophila simulans) from California. The shift occurred extremely rapidly, over 20 years. Consequently, Wolbachia-infected hosts now have higher rates of egg production than their uninfected counterparts. Changes in the genome of Wolbachia seem to be responsible for this, rather than changes in the host genome. Our study reveals that bacteria and their hosts represent components of a dynamic interacting system that can evolve rapidly over time.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Hi Thanks for the information about This bacteria ' This bacteria is it. Doxy kills it and bleach bathes are recommended. Keeping clothing etc. and environments clean help. Insects, mites, spiders carry it ' .. Where ever did you learn this ?, I have suspected a bacteria for years by the way cuts don't heal from the bites. I bathe in Arm & Hammer Powdered Laundry Detergent & it stops all the bites I get somtimes . The sodium carbonate in a & h soap kills mold , maybe & probally also kills bacteria . sodium carbonate is the main ingredient n the mold control product sold at Home Dept called concronium mold control for $19.00 per gallon , concronium mold contains 84% sodium carbonate . It works very well ,espexially when back up by an application of Peroxide & borax & water mix on bad spots after showering & left on to leave a borax residue to resist bugs. ------------------------------ On Sat, Mar 10, 2012 1:32 PM EST Benton wrote: >This bacteria is it.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I just realized when reading this that once infected with this bacteria, a person would be a magnet for all mites, spiders, and bugs. It's inevitable that this person would eventually get bitten from something that passes a dreaded disease. Critters love this stuff!
