I have read that in HIV infections, the follicle mites increase. So, I am thinking with my Lyme, lowered immune system, the mites are raging, too.
I get worse in the spring and around full moon also.
I think geranium oil is also good as a tick repellant. Mites and ticks are the same type of bug, arachnids.
I am wondering if the mites interact with the bacteria and fungal spores somehow. Also with the Lyme bacteria.
Since I have read demodex mites only come out in the dark, mine start itching about 4AM, I decided to treat them without turning on the lights. I rub on the alcohol hand cleaners and that seems to stop them. |
