  I am SO SORRY to hear about all of this. It is truly hell. And to have it cause your son to live away from you — I’m so sorry to hear that.
  
  Have you been keeping specimens that you are able to pull off of you? Can you bring those to a local specialist? Someone who researches arachnids and mites? (Although I reached out to someone in my local area (Ontario) and they said that bird mites cannot live off of human blood…. so maybe that won’t work). But something physical that you have that you can use if you sue for malpractice? Are you actively still finding them?
  
  I totally empathize. As I write this I am lying in my vinyl-wrapped bed, with a tea tree oil mask on my head, covered with an uncomfortable shower cap, my freshly scrubbed skin covered with vaseline and neem oil, with rashes all over my face and body. We feel your struggle. Keep up what you’re doing and try some of these new tricks that you see here —- maybe something will help to break the cycle. I personally am completely dependent on enzyme spray, although WTF knows if that is even working. It’s the unknown of it all that’s the absolute worst.
  
  Keep fighting 🙂

  I am so sorry to hear both of your stories. I went through it all too and thought I would never ever get out the other side. Please see my story that I’ve posted today – I really hope it can help you too.

Recommended Treatment Provider

We recommend you use a licensed professional to address a bird mite problem. Don’t wait or the problem will get much worse and more expensive to treat. We have a list of pest control companies that are specifically qualified to treat bird mites.

They come to your house for no charge and give a free estimate.
Even if you decide not to use them, you get free professional advice.
Most pest control companies have never dealt with bird mites before. You need to use a bird mite specialist.

Follow this link to find a Qualified Local Exterminator near you.

Keep in mind that if bird mites are not treated correctly, even if the correct chemicals are used, they can become resistant to those chemicals. Don’t use a pest control company unless they have extensive experience treating bird mites.

Also, many of our readers have followed up with (or used outright) natural solutions and pesticide-free, such as on our Treatments Protocols page Follow this link to that page.

Natural and DIY Solutions

In addition to local exterminators, we offer a list of other natural, non-pesticide and/or do-it-yourself products that we have found helpful on our Treatments Protocol page. Follow this link to the Treatments Protocols page.
