Listen EVERYONE, the only way to get rid of these mites, which yes, veterinarians do learn about, and know very well, these mites can spread microplasmas, lymes, and other bacterial diseases, CAN ONLY BE DESTROYED WITH VIKANT FUMIGATION. I know so many of you are suffering, and vets learn about these mites plaguing farms killing millions of live stock. As humans, your only option is to tent your house and fumigate, with a fumigant that leaves nothing behind, and gets behind the walls and in every oxygen molecule even in your pillows, and you should go to a chlorinated pool, throw your clothes in a fire, and soak in that pool with anantiparasidic dip and Lyme sulfur prescription from your physician, this is a veterinary disease, you must deal with it like a vet, VIKANE FOR HOUSE, leave everything even your wallet and keys in your house, let them tent, throw out your clothes that you are wearing when they tent, your socks, bras, underwear, and even shoes bath in a pool (you should shave in advance especially men) and have new clothes waiting that have never been near your house. One mite surviving on you can reinfest. The CDC methodically tries to reduce hysteria, but I know you need some guidance. Boric acid and pyrethrums are just not as strong but very bad neurologically and carcinogenic, Mites are contagious technically, and yes they can harbor bad diseases. Listen do it right or not at all, remove all trees within 20 feet of your house, spray spectrocide on your trees up to 5 ft, pit down pellets and water grass with spectrocide, and lawn to reduce many mites infesting from a nest in your property you don't know about, (these are Arthropods, treat them as such) and Vikant your home with everything you plan to keep. Try to sign up for a bug insurance plan, or sign a 10 year contract for better rates because VIKANT is expensive. Also do your car, bikes, every single things you own, get rid of sheds on your properties, or plan to gas those too. You likely have thousands hiding in your homes, and just one surviving will reinfest. Be ruthless. Deal with it like a farmer or vet. Don't stay at a hotel when you gas. You need a dip and a pool with chlorine. Mites are hardy and strong, the only solution is to gas and enter knowing you are not bringing one mite back. -

Since it appears that the CDC isn't looking here and this has turned into a (much-needed) chat board, here are a few of my thoughts based on my own 2.5 years of experience and what I've read on other boards from people who are farther down the road on this. -- Continual use of pesticides, obsessive housecleaning, and tossing all of one's belongings provide little, and only temporary, relief and have obvious downsides. -- Humidity and the presence of mold may be a factor that attracts the bugs to a home or office, where they "find" those of us who are susceptible. -- These bugs are on clothing made in China in clothing stores. Absolutely certain of it, have experienced it many times. -- Many people who have or had Lyme Disease are susceptible. Lyme organisms actually alter the immune system. Bacterial coinfections, parasites, and fungal issues from long-term antibiotic treatment can cause additional systemic weaknesses for Lymies, thus making us vulnerable to opportunistic species. Ditto for other illnesses that compromise the immune system. -- We need to find help to understand what it is about us that attracts and "holds" the bugs, as opposed to others in our environment who are not bothered by them. -- We know that MDs won't help us, but NDs (Naturopathic doctors) will and now we've learned that Eastern medicine specialists will help us. -- It may be that many of us have underlying (internal) parasitic conditions, as someone from CA mentioned last week. She suggested an ND (integrative medicine practitioner) and Eastern medicine. I just made an appointment with my ND (who couldn't help me when I thought it was bedbugs but now that I have fibers and see that it's mites infesting me, she can work with me on a parasite and detox protocol). -- Another factor may be poor methylation, which compromises the immune system. About 1/3 of the human population has this to some extent. Again, the ND can help with this. -- It seems the more aggressive I get with these things, the more aggressive they get. Reading all of your heartbreaking stories, I know that I need to try something different, with no time to waste. I will let you know if I have any success with a parasite protocol, diet overhaul, and methylation boost working with my ND. Failing that, I will try Eastern medicine. Failing that...well.... Here is a link to a lengthy parasite thread on LymeNet for anyone who is interested: http://flash.lymenet.org/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/1/122300 A number of Lymies have mentioned these mites and are referred to this thread. Good luck!REPORT COMMENTS

My wife and I have been cursed by this plague for the past 5 years, we have gone to 8 doctors and been dismissed by them all as being nuts. I spray our house with pesticides every month, take a shower twice a day, change the sheets every night, only wear clothes once before washing in borax or bleach and have only had nominal success killing these things. We cant see them but can feel them walking on our skin and sharp bites. If MD's didn't learn about it in school then in their minds it does not exist. MD's are worthless......at this point we must find a cure on our own. But i am afraid that my wife and I might die of Pesticide poisoning before we find a cure.REPORT COMMENTS

I am in favor of starting a new petition I do not identify with Morgellon and consider it an obsolete label. Textbooks have been revised and emerging zoonotic conditions have to be addressed. The common posts report parasitic afflictions, period. I share the tooth, hair loss, super host specific, ultra invasive of all body cavities, these things feed, breed and live off, on and in me. They chase the food I eat to the back of my throat, they sense waste product as well of a full bladder and bowel. I spit and cough them up upon awakening. I pee and expell them otherwise. Visible to the astute observer by starting from the outside in so to speak, meaning since they move so quickly, I would start to rub my deeply infested scalp for starters, raise your eyes above the head, keep staring, they WILL enter the observers visual field as long as I am present, then repeat the same when I scratch my skin, cuticles, eyes, ears,hard to notice on casual contact as these things merely blend in with the skin because of their translucent appearance and zig zag, jump too fast, thus easily missed during the polite eye contact of an MD, until they hear of the "bug" story and I get shoved out of their precious office so fast and again I just want to just die after such repeats in 8 year and lost a couple of $$$ grants, friends, family and health. Cancer now, about to shave the head again after hair re growth post chemo. A seasoned RN, I tell you, priority within the medical system merely shifted to highly acute patient care, brilliant actually, however, chronic conditions falling through the cracks in general as we have Evidence based medical practice mantras. I need a PCR, tissue FISH and one person MD or not to spend 30 minutes with me under bright light, quiet, giving me once the benefit of doubt. Humans lived for centuries in molded housing with bird nests, rodents etc , however, we live now in changing times, mutations within the animal kingdom is recognized and not yet in humans. There was a recent local news report of an extreme mite infested coyote staggering barely alive through a suburban area here and animal rights group came forward to save the animal! I almost cried again telling them silently to come over to my place and save me, I the one that contributed to save people's life for decades. Now sleeping on an air mattress, all bare, like a leper, I that once had a great income, lifestyle, well groomed, etc. now I surrender to sleep knowing these things will find their resting place in my nose(Co2) and all other orifices. In the morning these days, I wait to let the light in pretending in a delusional state on purpose that my life is normal again just to keep bearing this torment. Then I hit the shower, brush my teeth and stir these hellish invaders up again, watch them hovering around my eyes,face mouth, hands arms, legs all the day, walking, talking, eating, ( yes on airplanes too ) , Btw, no one in the medical community cared about my reporREPORT COMMENTS

This is the sort of thing you don't "get" unless you"ve been through it. The varmin are subtle stealth intelligent and from hell. Trying to explain it to people and how they reinfect and last for looooong periods off host is exhausting as folks have little reference point. Have you noticed of those that do believe you they come up with suggestions that cost a lot of money? Tired of trying to educate friends docs trying to proove its real (and as we know IT'S ALL TOO REAL) tired of getting eatin alive. I shudder to think this is epidemic yet we will reach a tipping point where thousands if not millions will break their silence and come out of the closet so to speak that they have a skin parasite of some sort.

I wonder what would happen if, while you were waiting, you were handling a pen, or touching a desk....or sitting on a stool, Do you think if a another person touched the same items they would get it too? I have read of medical personal getting this. Yet, I've also seen drs standing in the exam room door way, not coming all the way in to the exam room, tell the patient they r crazy and that there are no bugs . Yet they wont go near them!!! What's that about?!?!? They call people liars and delusional but won't touch them. These doctors that are acting this way, either don't believe what they are telling their patients, or arnt quite sure whether to believevthem or not. OR know something, but don't know how to treat it, are afraid of contracting this bug and being riducled by their own colleagues, in the exact samer manner they ridicule and dismiss their own patients. My best friend has this. I do not. But I've known her to be nothing but solid, steady, mentally sound and honest. I have seen these crittersvin their diffrrernt stages of life. They are real. This is real. She is real. I have watched her become a shell of the person she once was. She actuyalky got ride of these several times, for a few months each time. She evtually found a leak in the roof of the house she lives in. She got that fixed anfvstarted up her regime again. It's now been about a heart she has been mite free. I do think moisture is part of this problem. But now even though the bugs and crawly sensation is gone, her health is seriously challenged. She's just getting over menegitis and has been fighting a lung infection that just won't go away. 3rd round of antibiotics. Her hair has been fallingvout , has no energy. She was one of those people that was up at sunrise and kept going till 11. She's almost 60 yes old. I don't know how to help her, except listen and keep telling her she is loved, she matters and not to give up. That goes for all you thatvfeel alone and isolated. YOUR LIFE MATTERS.REPORT COMMENTS

Congressman and Congresswoman, My biggest question is, Why are we writing to you? You have no degrees in medicine. Also, if you want to read our mail, you can, and if you don't want to read our mail, you don't have to, which is exactly what you are doing. Kind of a stupid system, don't you think? Everyone knows these mites are a medical problem. Everyone knows we need medical help, not political help. But, that's our system, Write your congressman for medical help. Just reading that sentence makes me want to laugh. Our medical system's a joke. Why can't we write to the NIH or CDC?? Is it because they won't know what to do, even if you did write them. Kinda like what happened when Ebola struck our shores, or Zika, or hurricane Katrina. They, along with state and county, are a joke, just one big costly duplication of backward, disconnected health care services. They spend trillions on health care, and the World Health Organization (WHO) ranks America 72 in health care. And, a major insurance company says that 50% of the money is wasted. In other words, our medical system is just one big clinking, clanking, clattering collection of caliginous junk!REPORT COMMENTS

Read the book The year of the mite. This is written by a women that along with her young daughter and spouse became infected and her house infested. This is SO well written. I loved it. This would be perfect to share with non believing family members and friends. It would really help if doctors would read this too. Also she consulted a dr Olivier sparango that specializes I mites. Especially bird mites He states that these mites can and do live on and Reproduce on humans. That people and their homes can become infested. His studies are current not some quoTe from a 60 yr old medical journal. Google his name. Google the book. He didn't write the book but the author did consult with him. I hope this info helps someone. I found it to be very validating on a subject that just hasn't had the scientific or medical community behind it like it should! Was easy to read even funny in some parts. Somehow the author manage to keep her wits and her sense of humor about her and it comes across fully in this non fiction real life current day horror story.REPORT COMMENTS

Hello, this is my second signature to the petition. I am a 66 year old disabled senior woman who was exposed to hundreds of wild birds living in the Redwood and Cypress groves within feet of my 3rd floor deck in a senior complex in Freedom, California that I had just moved into. My neighbors dog had a horrible skin and nasal condition. I took the dog to the vet and then cared for the animal by bathing and medication for 2 weeks. I am confident that the poor animal and I have bird and/or rat mites We live in a semi-rural area near the fields, and hills in south Santa Cruz County. I have been medically neglected, sent away from several emergency departments in my community without being allowed to see a doctor. The HHS Santa Cruz County Public Health Clinic, where I went to report myself and my care provider who contracted this parasitic mite infection from me, under the Health and Safety Code, Title 17 section 2500 (mandatory reporting), is trying to force me to take an antipsychotic medication called Pimozide, and telling me that I have a delusional disorder. GOOGLE THIS 2008 bird mites case in Long Island New York. It made the news because the woman was so infested that they took her from her mite infested home in a hazmat suit (abandoned birds nest in bathroom vent). The woman and her daughter were put in a quarantined hospital room and successfully treated, according to her attorney that I spoke with. She sued the landlord apparently. I am filing a complaint against County employees with the Board of Supervisors in Santa Cruz County for the horrible medical practices that I have been a witness to. I have been informing through emails the media, not sure if, when or how they will get my story out. God Bless you all, stay on them, and I don't just mean the mites. Make our local government officials accountable. This problem we are having is real and it is spreading. My friend and care provider is becoming worse, he is still working out in the public, although he is on workers comp. because of this, he has been told he is fit to work with IHSS clients without restrictions! Unreal. He has taken a leave of absence from me, so he is not turning in time cards. The WC doctor says he is fit for duty, so he cannot receive WC monetary benefits. I have been self quarantining for almost 2 years. Tired now, mites moving out of my nose again, must go to shower. Stay strong and fight! Love, Diane DiMariaREPORT COMMENTS

Attention CDC and Homeland Security !!! You have an enormous calamity under your purview and we, the undersigned, have a life-threatening situation wracking our bodies and destroying our lives. This is affecting far more Americans than Zika, and "taking us out" indefinitely. You MUST take action NOW to investigate this seriously with rigorous scientific methodology, and fast-track an effective treatment through the medical establishment (after educating them). My nature is *not* to be a conspiracy theorist, even after contracting Lyme Disease 15 years ago and reading about Plum Island, just a bird-flight away from Old Lyme CT. HOWEVER, CDC and Homeland Security, what a great way to establish dominion, by gradually disabling a population, first with a disease that alters their immune systems, followed by bio-engineered invaders that seek them out and torture them to complete disability and suicide. A PERFECT WEAPON for those who are patient enough to wait for their "enemy states" to collapse. Taking Lyme out of the equation and just considering a bio-weapon to gain control of corporate America , I note that I have seen these bugs in places full of goods manufactured in China and in conference rooms frequented by east Indians and in boxes mailed from postal stored operated by same. Truly these countries are trying to take over our corporations, which you well know, Homeland Security. I'm sorry if this seems like a psychotic rant; I assure you that I am eminently sane and rational, but I am being F'ING TORTURED by these bugs, now fibers, and facing the prospect of losing teeth like many here.

So many products are 1% active ingredient or 5% active ingredient. If thw CDC joined hands with medical researchers to create something that works I hope they don't pussyfoot around. 5% MIGHT work on the body but on the scalp if the critters get established they follow the hair shaft down and lodge deeply under skin on head. This requires big guns like a 5 or more percent rotenone.

If your a doctor listen to people. If you can't listen or help, please just be kind. My post was way too long. Sorry. It got broken into 1/3s. This is the end. One more thing b I came across a book on Amazon called T THE YEAR OF THE MITE. This was written by a woman who got bird mites when her psrnter bought chickens for their daughter for 4 H club. They brought a,few of the babies inside the house......... Yep you guessed it. The author and her young daughter got t Them, but her spouse did not, well, not at first. She tried to the very end to say she didn't get bites, even tho she admitted she did. This is non fiction book. True story. Very well written. Some medical info, but is broken down so u can actually understand it. I'm not trying to sell anything. I don't know the author, but I was really glad I read the book. It was informative and validating. I would suggest giving it to your doctor or family members to read. In the back of the book is the name of the Dr that actually studies these very types of mites. He is on the ball and current. Its been a few months since I read the book. I can't remember the Dr that she sees name. Last thing. Very last promise. I saw a TV commercial for an insurance co that COVERS BIRD MITE!!!!!!!!!!! I WAS SO SHOCKED AND THRILLED TO SEE THIS. SOMEONE IS STARTING TO LISTEN!!! I Dont know if I can post the name or not. Its one of the HUGE home insurance co. Here in the U.S. It starts with an F. After I saw the ad on TV, I googled the co to see whwt they cover exactly, They don't mention it, in their online ads, but I have now seen this commercial several times. I did not misunderstand. It did say intact say they cover bird mites!!! I hope this info helps someone. Take care everyone. Don't quit.REPORT COMMENTS

Or at the very least wear a mask so your not breathing it in directly to ur lungs. All that stuff soaks into your skin and affects your Organs, just like the mites do. I'm not saying don't use them. Use them wisely. But many people try the perm bases products and even tho it wasnt effective for some, they keep using it. If u don't notice a big diff, then don't keep exposing yourself to it. I also, like many people, strongly believe that the homes and people that have become infested are also dealing with a moisture and mold issue. That attracts all sorts of bugs. These r the people that don't seem to know how they got the mites. Then there are the people that rescued a cat or bird or found birds nesting in their attic or eves of their homes or mice and rats. Got rid of the nest and chaos followed. Then there home and bodies become infested. Sugar has got to go from ur diet. Just must. My home in Arizona had a slooowww roof leak in the back end of the house. The wood had started to rot and mold. There were mice and pack rats coming and going. We didn't no this tho. It was an old room that had been added on years before we bought it. It mostly just had old art supplies a kiln, fabric, stored in cardboard boxes in it. It was very neat and tidy but as it turns out very very damp. As the wood breaks down, thwathwat kind of becomes like dirt. This attract bugs mold and mice to eat it. The mice and birds have mites. After a year of trying e verythung to rid bodies of this mite, fnally discovered the leaky roof. ripped out the rotten wood and drywall. ran my huge kiln which heated the room and helped dry e erything out. That help instantly and for many months the mite pop. Dwindled as did the bites. Then it started up again, in the main part of house. Turns out the tub drain had a tiny leak. Again moisture was building UNDER the house. We could hear the mice coming back AND squirrels! We fixed the leak. Put a couple of traps under the house and blocked all the ways they were getting in under the house. Its been almost a year of no mites. No mice no birds. My home is a 75 yr old river rock house in arizona. I truly believe moisture is a big component with these mites and of course the animals that carry the mites. I know many of feel like you don't have choice using toxic chemicals, and maybe you don't. Please just be very very careful. I know your all trying to take of your health, this is one more important thing. This is so so so sad. Please, those of you in power to help, that might maybe reading this CDC post because a family or friend or even YOU r dealing with this nightmREPORT COMMENTS

I'm not sure, that even if some gov official or someone that works for the CDC will be enough to turn the lightz on this issue to bring attention. Here why. The simp!e reason, that- that person will get on line to try and figure out what's biting them, then They will read all the Horrific stories about drs telling their patients that they are crazy. So they won't go see their drs. They won't tell family members because they have read family members don't believe them. They too tell them they are crazy. The newly infected people will suffer In silence for fear of being labeled. Dishonored and disrespected and disowned by the Very people that should be standing by their side. Its not the family's fault. They have been raised to believe and trust doctors..... Even over life long family relationships with people they know to be mentally stable. God help the infected person that is or has had a drug problem. This is SO HEART BREAKING. Plus I'm just shocked when drs ask if you've traveled outside the U.S. WTF does that matter any more????? you can go to, or come from another country in 15 hours!!! Someone that is a carrier but isn't infected, sits in a plane seat for HOURS, let alone lay over times in various airports. Someone unknowingly sits in their seat and BAM! CONTACT IS NOW MADE.. so many questions. why DONT some family members get it and others are truly sick and suffering?? Then there are the few drs that DO believe, they DO listen. They DO want to help. They might even do a skin scraping. But because these good kind drs can't get the training they need, they don't know that a skin scraping will actually destroy these Microscopic mites and even the ones that are visible. The lab report then comes back negative. That good intentioned drs, now wonders if maybe you ARE crazy..... You begin to wonder too. Plus people are wrongly being told that these bugs don't carry viruses or other bacteria that CAN make one deathly sick. Also, people being forced to self treat with chemicals or even prescribed chemicals r taking a huge risk of becoming chemically reactive to all sorts of every day chemicals. This is called MCS or MULTIPLE CHEMICAL SENSITIVITY.. it is also one of those illness that drs don't believe in. Please take a few minutes too google it. But MCS is finally starting to get the attention it has so despertly needed. These bug killing Chems are neuro toxins. They are made to kill bugs, but prolonged use can be deadly to humans and pets. If when u use them they don't seem to be making a worth while improvement, then quit using them. Permethrin is very very toxic. Yes it is found in a type of chrysanthemum and daisy too, but what you buy in the store is the synthetic version with other Ingredients to enhance It and make it stronger and last longer. I have MCS. It is also a very isolating illness. U can become deathly reactive to normal everyday cleaning producREPORT COMMENTS
