Re: can it be Demodex in my case ?

[Guest guest]

Hi, Boaz, if you read my very first posting again, you'll see

that you do fit the criteria for rosacea. You do NOT have to

have the pimples to have rosacea. Remember, not all rosacea patients

get all the symptoms. It can look very different in people. You have

redness and flushing. I think you probably have rosacea.

Yes , demodex can live on your body without current contact to pets. I never

said that I'm sure that pets transmit the mite or make it worse, although I

do suspect they contribute to rosacea in SOME cases. cea is a

multi-factorial disease. I think, nutrition affects it, by changing the

composition of your facial secretions, making the mite's environment more,

or, less favourable, depending on your nutrition. Immune system also plays a

big role, apparently. Many things can make the rosacea worse once you have

it, like adding fuel to the fire, but if you get rid of the mite (as much as

possible), then it doesn't matter what other factors play into it. Like, if

you put out the fire, it doesn't matter how much fuel you put on, it just

won't burn, right ?

I think that's how it works. So , please try it, and good luck, let me know

how it goes.
