      There is a way out.

      It’s been nearly 3 years since this nightmare started. I think I’ve aged about 20 years in that time.

      There is a way out. I still get a few bites a day but it’s slowly getting better and better and I have no doubt that in another few months I’ll be completely free. There isn’t a silver bullet for this mess. But for me kleen green got me my life back. Initially I soaked my hands and feet and sprayed every time I was bitten and sprayed my place daily.

      They got into my head, I was having dizzy spells, convinced I was going to die, I was struggling to get my words at times, I’d slur and not be able to think of what I was trying to say. There was constant pressure in my head. Hundreds and hundreds of bites a day. My hands and feet were buzzing with them.

      In the end, clean eating, daily magnesium and high dose vitamin c got them out of head and muscles. Kleen green got them out of my hands. My feet have been the tricky part but I’ve found that pure tea tree oil on them does a better job than the kleen green I. My feet.

      Now I’m just hoovering once or twice a week and spraying with KG. I’m going to try the colloidal silver to see if that will finish it.

      Don’t let anyone tell you these things aren’t real. They drove me half mad but it’s real. There is a way out and if not a cure there is most definitely a way to live a normal life again

      Your story could be mine – I am also three, almost four years with this nightmare, and I can’t buy Kleen Green here! But tea tree oil has been a saviour. Over the last three months the problem has graduallly got better. I am still getting the odd bite, and didn’t suffer with them in my hands or feet, just everywhere else! I bought a couple of pairs of exfoliating gloves a while back and scrub every part of me with them daily – no special soap, although for a while I was using Head & Shoulders for my hair and as a body wash. I had to narrow things down, as my bathroom began to look like an operating theatre. I even bought surgeon’s scrub – it didn’t do anything more for me than ordinary shower gel. Neem oil around my hairline at night also helped enormously. Silver MSM cream seems to have left me unmarked on my face. My guess is that they got into my sinuses, nose still itches on and off, but nothing like it was six months ago.
      Interestingly, I am now being treated for hyperthyroidism. I lost a ton of weight that I didn’t have to lose in the first place, and consulted an endocrinologist. Not sure yet if I will need surgery to remove thyroid which has a solid mass on one side and many nodules. Doctors and dermatologist did not believe it was a mite problem. I haven’t even mentioned it to the endocrinologist, I’m waiting for results of Gammography, biopsy and blood tests which I’ll get on 22nd of Sept. (Thursday this week). This is not the first time I have heard of the thyroid gland being connected to a mite problem. I still think these things are bird mites, even though I have no real proof.
      For anyone else with this living nightmare, I can only suggest treating your body first, before any kind of manic cleaning, which took over almost 24/7 of my life. if only I had known! I didn’t believe they could get into your skin and cause so much chaos, I was too busy cleaning, steaming, washing and disinfecting everything else.
      One other thing: I stopped eating meat. My sugar intake is low, I hardly eat anything sweet, but I was extra careful after doing *some (*far too much) research on mites. Maybe co-incidence, but, not eating meat (or fish) seems to have helped rid the body of these miniscule monsters from hell.

      Hey Milly

      I think all of our stories are so similar and so sad. What country are you in?

      I wish I’d known what I know now at the start, i think I could have stopped it getting to the point it did. I’m the same, so many potion bottles in my bathroom, thousands in debt from moving and staying in hotels to try and get away from them and buying everything under the sun to try and kill them.

      I’ve heard of the thyroid being connected as well. I think they’re attracted to certain things in the body, illnesses or whatever. I just wish I knew what it was for me, because no one around me gets bitten.

      I’ve also heard that not eating meat helps. The lady that sells kleen green in the uk is very big on the alkaline diet, and that involves cutting down on meat, carbs and sugar. I’m going to give it another push and see if I can finish them with that and the colloidal silver. I’ve not ordered any yet as I’m trying to keep my spending low. I might also try the silver MSM cream on my feet. But the tea tree oil has been a god send. There’s a shop by me that sells it for £1 a bottle which has honestly been saving my life. It’s crazy to think that such a small thing can help. Nothing else really worked for me,the neem oil did nothing really.

      I set up an email if you ever want to chat thefirstruleaboutmiteclub@outlook.com

      Xx
