Mites

[browncircles]

Throw them away. Throw them away now.

I did hear that you can try that copper sulfate swimming pool algae remover (just a tad) in the wash to soak. I haven't tried it yet.

Michelle...Have you read anything about the cotton "theory and speculation"? Just read it and form your own opinion....Mine is that they love cotton...you will understand why I think that when you read about the cotton theory...I see them on everything though...doesn't have to be cotton...just seems like they like the cotton real well...and what Dr. Beverly said to do about holding a fiber and watching it move, check out a cotton swab(any brand), like Q-tips, or even generic...hold it up to a light and watch the fibers that stick out from the others...they will move for you...put it under a scope like the $10 one at Radio Shack, and watch...if you have any Eco-vie or DSP cream, put a little on there and then watch what happens to the fibers...or put it on a hair from your hairbrush...(probably been taken over by the Morgie too)...I guess this has nothing to do with mites, unless this parasite IS a type of mite, but I lean more toward a nematode in one of their stages...just my opinion...and it ain't worth a whole lot these days...being that the docs think I am delusional and have psychosis....and here is a big "WHATEVVVA" ... back at them...Kentucky haze

I've been seeing pink and lime green fuzzballs in my apartment this year as well and I don't have anything that color either in clothing, towels, or furniture, which since this disease I have little of anyway. How strange and no way coming from my environment. Right now I'm picking up some long clear fibers that are coming out of my head, looks like it could be hair, but moves around and feels like vinyl and is certainly no mite or normal hair. Once waiting on a pizza in a shop that had red plaid tablecloths with fringe and saw a strand of fringe moving around wildly and since I wasn't near it, I had to wonder if mites don't tangle themselves up in fiber also as it acted the same way I've seen things on me behave. Makes me wonder if somehow something from me didn't fly over there.

Well Snow, I sure would hate to think that my fuzzies made it to where-ever YOU are living, when I finally got them out of here!!

MANY years ago I took a group of cub-scouts on a field trip to a BIG garbage dump. We watched the tractors & movers burying mountains of trash into this HUGE land-fill. It was surreal to watch everyday items like your washer & old dresser, or baby carriage and old blanket, get SMASHED up with a load of rotting food and dirty diapers!! And buried in dirt, as though it could be planted to grow something... We then watched them create compost from waste lumber and scrap (moldy) wood and yard debris recycling that was all chopped up in a huge machine, before it was spread out to rot & age. They also had a special series of pipes to reclaim the methane GAS that the deep underground garbage was producing, and then burn it, (shooting up a large flame from the tall stack into the air--like a scene from hell.) and used that to turn an electric turbine for energy to run the whole show.

Every time I think about WHERE my garbage goes, and what is IN MY garbage, I have this image of hundreds of millions of morgies genetically morphing and breeding in this industrial waste-hole and crawling out with their "recycled MULCH product" into the wide open world--from MY vacuum cleaner dust bag, etc. It just gives me the total willies.

This WHOLE THREAD has absolutely nothing to do with mites, you guys know. I'm so sorry about this. I just had to share this image that I wonder about. How far do these things spread & move??? How individual?personal are they REALLY?

Dr. Beverly...what a giant breeding ground that would be...I hadn't thought about the dump, but where mold and toxins and bacteria, fungus, moisture, all that garb is...man, what a big giant city for them...so why in the heck to they have to bother us...personal? Possibly...so do they make mulch from garbage.? I thought it was from trees and soil...(there you go, the soil...probably from the rich soil from a garbage dump) hmm...never thought about that...I think I will use rocks and/or pine needles from now on...disgusts me to think about it...and by the way, I hate mites too...(okay, that wasn't funny...just had to mention mites one time...sorry)...but we got on a roll here that couldn't be left alone)...I guess they could somehow RETITLE our comments or move them..where, I have no idea...Kentucky haze

Out here in the "enlightened West coast" (ha-ha) they will collect your organic and yard & lawn waste SEPARATE from the garbage, and mix that with left-over wood products that are ground up, in order to create recycled community "compost-mulch" to SELL to help pay for the costs of curbside recycling program!! We are charged by the size of can that we collect of regular trash for the landfill each week, but everything that we managed to pull out for the curbside recycling gets picked up for free...
