Mites
Mighty Mites
They hide in your bed and breed on your face. They’re smaller than the period at the end of this sentence.

Why does having mites on your body cause poor sleep?
When you go to sleep, you suddenly become aware that you have a body… The feelings are not blocked by the constant mental activity, by being busy… and you start to feel the mites.
You itch. You feel the crawling… depending on the type of mites you have, on your face, on your ear lobes, in your ear… your eyes.
Or underneath your body… where it touches the sheet.
Or where the blanket touches your body…
Or in your anal area
your vaginal area…

On other “get rid of mites” sites:
there are thousands of mite species, and I know four that live on humans.
- ear mites/dust mites… interchangeable and I’ll treat them as the same
- demodex mites
- spider mites… or more precisely, the nymph of the spider mites
- Scabies
They all need different treatments, but those other sites don’t differentiate… they say “a mite is a mite” and therefore, when you read the site, you leave with more confusion than clarity. At least I did.
People try treatments for other mites, and don’t understand that it won’t work, because each mite is different.
People mix 7-8 different things, and have no idea what worked and what didn’t… if something seems to be working. I can sympathize: they want to get rid of the critters as fast as possible. Most don’t.
More and more confusion results.

Microscopic Mites breeding inside you
I felt that something is living in my intestinal track, maybe even my gall bladder…
I muscle tested what it was, and it wasn’t fluke, amoeba, or a worm… but yet, the muscle test said: something is living in my intestinal track, and diatomaceous earth muscle tested yes.
Then I muscle tested… more like guessed like in the guessing game: 20 questions… After all muscle testing is a yes/no “game.” I found that “spider mite” and the nymph of a spider mite consistently came up a yes. Information on the internet doesn’t agree with that, but hey, maybe the information is wrong, maybe I am wrong… we’ll find out, won’t we?
So for about 10 days I took diatomaceous earth in water twice a day, and that’s probably what kept the spider mites in check… because once I stopped… because I didn’t quite know what was inside me, the biting in the vaginal/anal area began in earnest.

Demodex mites
Rosacea is not an infectious disease, and there is no evidence that it can be spread by direct contact with the skin of an affected patient or through inhaling airborne bacteria. However, there has long been a theory that parasites within the sebaceous follicles of the face can stimulate inflammation.

The fundamental error of human thinking: that things are fixable
If you look, at least half of our time is spent fixing or being part of a “fix”.
The problem with fixing is fundamental and it is against Life and it is against Nature.
Nature, Life, never fixes anything, it continues on what is, and it either will live or die. Or it restores… but not fixes…
Nature, Life, doesn’t care. Caring is a human error.
Every solution to a problem creates a larger problem.

My story dealing with the mites
It started seven months ago. I accidentally discovered that I have mites living in my ears.
I searched the web and did what I found. I followed instructions. Nothing worked… At that point I had no idea that they live all over me… Until I did.
My insomnia suddenly started to make sense… the crawling sensation on my body, on my head, on my face… it was real, and I was in trouble.
It took me a few more months before I discovered that there are billions of people like me… and many of them have made their struggle public…

Coughing and sneezing in the morning?
Coughing and sneezing are designed by the body as a strategy to eject an intruder. Mucus membranes overflow and cover the offending object, the intruder, and then a lot of air is to push it out.
The question is: what is the offending object?
Instead of just labeling this phenomenon as “I have allergies” consider that a little observation, a little awareness, a little witnessing can make a huge difference.

There is an epidemic of biting microscopic mites that live on humans
This site is the result of my five-month struggle with these mites that have robbed me of sleep, of my social life, my peace of mind.
I have, to date, identified four biting insects that we’ll fight on this site, insect that attack humans. There are more that attack your pets, but that is not my topic… later I may add it, but not just now.
I have tested tens of solutions suggested by others, and another few that I thought of.
So far, I have gathered a lot of experience, but not real tangible results that would, forever, irreversibly, eradicate the infestation. 🙁
That is my goal… Too lofty, I know… It actually causes suffering on one hand, but on the other hand it forces me to continue going deeper and with integrity into the testing.
Wish me luck. Thank you
