Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Once again great info Bill. I STILL have not used my tri jet fogger ($200), in a box, or my one quart of Cedarcide I purchased 2 years ago, but with all the spiders coming once again in my house, it will be used tomorrow. My husband is using silicone to fill in cracks between baseboards and floor today, places these buggers hide. I think the outside needs to be treated too, but with what? Every year since getting the mites we have also had these spiders and their babies in droves. Have DE on the covered pateo, will clean off and put down fresh. Must think of something... spiders are harder to kill than many insects. Of course, mites are the worst.From: " Doe" <doe1769@...>bird mites Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2012 1:15:37 PMSubject: Re: On the trail of a fungiHi Terry I used 1 cup borax & 2 cups epsom salts & 1.5 gallons of water in the tri-jet every 3 days for 1 month.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 And God bless you too Bill. Thanks for the info. I think maybe instead of spreading DE outside I will spread the A & H instead to kill spiders. Do you think the liquid A & H is any good? I bought it last time for wash, but have a hard time finding the A & H dermatologist tested... low odor version for me is best. I had no idea A & H was that deadly, so I'll be careful with it. I've only used it for wash and a few times in the bath with Borax.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Thank you so much Bill. I do believe this is a fungus that is causing that instant sliver of pain as well as the swarming that many of us have experienced. I, like many others, could not understand how a slow moving mite could suddenly be in your face. A pathogenic fungus with spores would explain it. I think the Betadine is an excellent solution as it is used effectively to instantly kill bacteria and germs in the hospital, it probably works well in this case too. Do you wear gloves, cause I know it will stain the hands orange. I have been using Lysol complete clean which seems to be working, but the fungus is persistent. I may have to switch over to A & H with Borax or Epsom salts. I know the fungus will have difficulty surviving that. As always Bill, thank you for instant and wonderful advice and recommendations.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 , do you think the spiders are related to the mites? I would truly love to know if this fungus is harmful to humans or not. I know that we feel the stinging and the swarming from the fungus and I can only assume that is not healthy for us, but it is also definitely not healthy for insects as it wipes them out. Despite Dr. Sparagano and others telling me that when I return home I will continue to be bedeviled by mites, I have not really had that problem. They seem to have either disappeared or been consumed by this fungus. I only recently saw a flying bug come into the house and I think that was because the door was open. I don't encounter any type of bug now. But, I am always waiting, for something. What kinds of spiders are these? I wish you the best in your continual fight against the microbe invasion.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 HI TERRYI will try to see what the type of these spiders are, but my husband and I have both gotten bites from them that look like a Lyme rash. They vary in size from tiny (baby) to about the size of a pea, once in a while blackish and usually a light tan. I'll see if I can identify.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 One thing I can tell you is that they are not web spinning spiders, but hunters... they are looking for food, but not by the means of a web.From: Goldstein@...To: bird mites Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2012 4:25:33 PMSubject: Re: Re: On the trail of a fungi HI TERRYI will try to see what the type of these spiders are, but my husband and I have both gotten bites from them that look like a Lyme rash. They vary in size from tiny (baby) to about the size of a pea, once in a while blackish and usually a light tan. I'll see if I can identify.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hi , you are awesome. I am concerned about your rash as well. I believe you and your husband both suffered together from the mite attack, then the attack from the fungus and now these spiders!! I can't help but think this is more than coincidence. Do you know if you were successful in completely eradicating the mite and the fungus? I think you told me that you thought you were about 99% clear of it. Have you had a sudden warm weather trend? It would be good to see the rash...any way you would be comfortable sending me a picture...privately. I have a good database finally getting build on images. But if you do not wish to, I understand. I feel as though I am really being a bit pushy here. If I am, please, anyone, tell me so. I just want so much for everyone here, all you truly awesome people, to be well...and me too of course. I probably have too much mother hen in me as well. (and yes, I hate saying " hen " as it reminds me of poultry mites). Terry And has anyone heard from Sharon? She posted her part one of her story and since then, nothing. I am concerned about her. > > > > >Well, I have successfully moved back into my home and before I ponder > > >too long as to the whys and wherefore art thou mite?

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I didn't keep a picture since we both were bit last year and the year before. I did take a picture, but I'd have to really search for it. I had changed computers and lost pictures so might not have any longer either.L.From: "mitesbegone" <no_reply >bird mites Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2012 4:33:36 PMSubject: Re: On the trail of a fungiHi , you are awesome.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 , that does not sound like your typical spider. That sounds like an arthropod, probably a blood sucking arthropod. Do they have segmented bodies? The aren't ticks are they? I know where you live they are endemic. Here is one site you might check out to see if you can identify the pest: http://bugguide.net/node/view/91197/bgimage I wish you luck with this. You have been through so much. I keep trying not to utter those three words " It's not fair " . YOU are in my prayers.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I completely understand. I don't want you go to chasing around looking for things. You are under enough pressure. I thought you currently had a rash. I misunderstood. No worries. Let's just get this newest pest to leave you alone!!

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hi The liquid a & h is just soap like tide but the Arm & Hammer Powdered Laundry Detergent contains sodium carbonate , it is only dangerous to breathe the dust of Arm & Hammer Powdered Laundry Detergent , when it is wet it is harmless , but it kills bugs . 2 cup in a hose end sprayer with 2 cup of water , mix & attach garden hose & spray away it kills spiders bees bugs , fungus , mold . It leaves a white caulky residue that sticks so it keeps killing mold & fungi . The white caulky washes off if needed with a brush & scrubbing.. The smell of the regulas clan burst version is low odor & is sold at most all grocery stores , you can smell it thru the box without opening it , it is mild in scent. I don't like the mountaln fresh scent, it is too strong. Arm & Hammer Powdered Laundry Detergent has cured many people by oaking in 1 cup of it for 20 mins . , if it dosent help with bugs, itches & lesions this mix : is also ver effective : http://www.earthclinic.com/Pets/dog_mange_cure.html The mix: 2 tblspns borax (20 mule team Borax laundry booster 16 oz peroxide (3%) 32 oz water. mix it , and the borax nuetralizes the peroxide, it is painless & the is no fizz or bruning from this mix & it is cheap If they are deep ones I use 8tblspns borax (20 mule team Borax laundry booster 8 oz peroxide (3%) 8 oz water.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Thanks Bill. I didn't realize there was a difference. Won't make that mistake again.
