I've been getting bitten up by something for months. It's sudden appearance we thought hives, then it started to persist and we decided I have human mange (scabies mites), but that didn't really match. Doctor agreed it just doesn't seem like a human mite infestation. So I did more research and experimenting.
Those darn wild rodents we can't manage to kill have spread a rodent specific mite and given my rodents the mite. The neighbors amount of pigeons living in their roof 5' away could also have fowl mites being spread by the rodents since they will form a temporary host. I knocked several off a gerbil onto some white paper towels. I tried to capture them but they are too tiny to swipe into something and can stick to everything. If I finally get them off my finger they climb up glass and get squashed in the lid.
For months I have been treating myself with tea tree oil and 10% sulphur soap and lotion. The dogs and cats were treated with revolution a couple weeks ago for suspected flea allergy since food allergies were not being discovered. I've got a bag of DE I want to roll in. Can I throw some between the mattress cover and sheets? They drive me nuts in bed so I switched blankets and vacuumed the sheets and pillows. My ivermectin is expired but we will probably get more and more 1cc syringes to treat gerbils and guinea pigs. I want to bathe in ivermectin too. :x These things are driving me and the animals crazy. We got a new poison to try to kill more wild rodents but the internet said as they die the mites may flee from the nests and dead rodents to find other hosts. It may get worse before it gets better. I foresee more dips in ice cold baths to stop the itching temporarily. Sometimes that's all that works.
