How to prevent re-infection..

[gigi22]

Is this even possible? What kinds of things do you do to prevent re-infection with this or even other parasites, bugs, etc? (bug repellent? )

I am very concerned about my workplace. I am working hard at cleaning up my home, but some things at work seem beyond my control. What about shared resources, like the fax machine, or other things? I can get a rash just touching something.. I walked around work today to do various tasks, and picked up so much.. I am now itchy in several places, and got more bites and rashes...

If I can't prevent re-infection, what hope do I have???

I don't know what to say except that I no longer feel confident that you can stop re-infection or if it just persists and allows us to dream of our old lives on occassion. I am starting to think it goes with us wherever we go.

I know what you mean, lamb. We carry the stuff with us. But, I have been doing pretty well with the body stuff, and I leave my house with no itching and clean clothes, etc. I go into Target and touch a plastic bin, and *zap* I get bit. I go to work where this stuff is hanging around and I get bit and rashes form. I'm sometimes afraid to leave the house, because I've cleaned the home pretty well and I can sit at my computer and can go into most rooms and not feel activity - no biting and no rashes.. (bathroom and closet is a different story, and I'm still working on that..).. *BIG SIGH*
