Spider Bite, Herpes or Mites?Question by J (J) on 10/13/2007

If the application of pure lavender oil is applied to a small area, and the red spots move, than a nanoninsect is residing under the skin. A larger area application with sufficient frequency using lavender oil for most simple cases would kill it.
If not another remedy is supersaturated or saturated borax solution in 1% hydrogen peroxide is applied later in case the red spots should still be recurring, although the previous application of lavender may have just moved their bites to other areas.
One remote possibility is possibility is microscopic mites exists on the bed or pajamas. A simple home remedy one that has worked with me quite well is 90% alcohol plus 10% orange oil, sometimes citrus oil insecticide. Lemon oil will invariably work the same.
I would spray this on the bed of orange oil with an aerosol mixed with the alcohol, either ethyl alcohol (the alcohol found in vodka) or isopropyl alcohol (the alcohol found in drug stores) can also be used too. In case you are wondering what is killing the insect, it is the d-limonene which is more than 90% are found in both orange oil and lemon oil. You can get them from your favorite stores that sell essential oil. It works just the same whether the orange oil or lemon oil is obtained from synthethic or natural sources.
