5:00:21 PM | To Terri regarding bird mites, my husband(well ex now) and I had a similiar problem, we first had a bird mite infestation before we got morgellons. Birds came in thru a bathroom vent and built a nest and one died and the mites came.
My immune system had been recently compromised due to high stress and once the birds were removed the mites searched for a new host, which unfortunately became me.
Anyhow, we took a sample of the mite(by putting out bowls of water w/ lights over it)to an entomologists and he verified we had a cyst mite which lived in my skin and then I gave to my husband.
We moved out for months, had carpet ripped out, and ceramic tile and pergo flooring put in and threw out everything. We were desperate as we tried everything we knew to do and I was so isolated and missed my children and friends and needed to get back to work. My kids lived away during this time, my daughter did get bit by the mites and ended up w/ morgellons but my son is still fine.
I don't know if that is necessary now- to do such extreme things as we did- throwing out all belongings and removing all carpet, as I have now had good luck w/ menthol crystals.
We had to change our diets, no gluten/wheat, dairy, soy, and low sugar and use a lot of oils to suffocate the mites. Now we do very well using tea tree soap and Jason Aloe lotion. The protocol on the website would be most helpful too. We are doing much better and I am back to work and living more normally again. The diet change was a huge key in this happening. Also the protocol. Much love and hope and prayers to you! |
