I'm surprised you haven't had any responses yet, Daisy! Most of the treatments on this site are very good. Your first line of defense is "dead-sea salt soap" or sulfur soap. Wash all over and leave on for a good 5 minutes before rinsing in your daily shower. A lotion with sulfur or store bought MSM lotion (a form of sulfur) is best for your face. There is a ZZ cream you can get on line which is fantastic for the face, but it is expensive. Ted's borax bath = (20 mule team borax @ Walmart near laundry detergents) (receipe found on this site) is a great bath soak, you can add Epsom Salts or Vinegar to the water too. Tea Tree Oil mixed with 50% mineral oil kills the mites, add a big pinch of sulfur to the mix and its great to battle them. Good luck! We all have been there. It gets better but it takes persistence and perseverence. :)Replied by Lynne (Wrentham, Ma.) on 12/30/2012
I am so relieved to find this site!! I received a very nasty spider bite last Memorial day weekend/2012 the bites came a few weeks later as mt doc thought I had an allergic reaction to the venom. I have been trying everything to suffocate the twisted little problem-solving back biter!! I have Fibromyalgia & for a very long time now, I wanted to write & recommend beeswax & banana hand cream, I tried it one night & just as one of you mentioned, as the bugger in my arm struggled to break free I felt another react rapidly squirming , so of course I covered my self head to toe, even around my eyes & into my ears, I awoke the next day not only feeling no bites but actually refreshed from my 1st good night sleep since May, I have to put all the other solutions this brilliant group of colaberators has put together but the light is finally in sight at the end of the tunnel, Thank you all so much for being so honest & forth-coming w/your research success as well as failures. I can't tell you I have been looking 6 mths daily 4 hours for an answer & this is the best Christmas gift I have ever received... I will right back w/ my research success & failures to keep the information flowing so we can help the next person who comes along needing a little hope, a little "FINALLY, YES!! "I am not crazy this is really happening to other people & by the grace of God they have all come together to give the cure others couldn't find not even the Pros. Thank you All & Happy New Year to all of you <3
