Epsom salt baths and tea tree oil

Misdirected lashes, loss lashes, but, no inflamation or dry eyes..That was me, until about a month ago. I started using Tea Tree soap and Heyedrate solution. I'm pretty happy with the results. No more sudden itch. No more overly crusty eyelids and corners of the eyes. I understand I might have to continue with this treatment forever. I don't mind.

Thank you for the degree of information in this. Especially using terms like 'cylindrical dandruff'. It really helps clarify what to watch for.

Thanks Dr Schachter for the info.

Excellent info! Very Well explained by Dr. S. Schachter.

You stated that these mites do not live in scalp hair. That statement is incorrect. Demodex mites can live in ANY hair follicle anywhere on the body!

That is correct. Demodex brevis lives in the oil glands. The "T zone" on the face can be one of the most active areas affecting humans, without having an infestation, because of the abundance of oil glands. Western scientists are finding that most rosacea and acne cases are also attributed to these microscopic creatures. Chinese and Indian medical professionals have known about and treated demodex infestations for decades. There are OTC products available that are formulated to kill demodex mites. "Face Doctor" and "Face Surgeon" are two soaps that I am familiar with. There are also OTC treatments produced in the Orient that appear to successfully alleviate demodex symptoms as well.

Rita H. depends how many demodex u have..... hair follicles are the prevered place...... but they also use the public hair....shown as a light cover ofer the hair....(especially the males...m3.wyanokecdn.com/8ab4ed6ac1c9288676c7059bdd7101fd.jpg here u see it on a eye lash ( demodex brevis---) ur skin haven t to be oily to get demodex- if its as a massiv healt problem- its mostly host as a reason---not always----- my sister is infected too with to many demodex but she could reduce it---- i could till now but i made the same ---even more now-----the different is she had less conntact to the parents of us............. i had many contact (and my immun system was always bader). so u can t say its all the same------------my skin was also not oily as child--- i have demodex since im 3 years old but just on my skalp, and around body- as teenager massiv in hair and face. Now allover... sure every infection of mites are different and there are many ways how u can get demodex------ i would not trust much anymore human mediciners they still think the white stuff are death cells, thats also a mite- i film and study this animal now since over 6 month. called callused skin/dandruff...... africanhairblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/dandruff.jpg www.whatcausesthis.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/dandruff2.jpg all mites no cells- i got demodex before i had the callused skin mite that much....... ( i could slap this idiot of a mediciner ....he told the ppls thats a part of the skin ....but his alredy death) especially the use of ivermecin as a topic or oral would be between 20- 23.5 mg ivermecin once a week over 3 weeks- i got 2 mg from a doctor- used from animal medicin- so sure ivermecin dosent works well simple the the dose is wrong- so if it helps with animals and dosent work on humans that must be the reason.........

I don't know what to say, or even ask for. Michael I never in my life knew this condition ever existed. Why board certified doctors act like they have never heard of this is beyond me. I think whats worse is the fact that you get a quick referral to a psychiatrist and given a Prozac and Xanax prescription. For some reason, my husband is the only one who has the condition. He had it for a very long time and was bothered day and night with it, until one night he began to see small bugs come out of his face and burrow back down into his skin. That's when he about lost it. He has gotten worse and unbelievably, he has a separate condition- there is a different type of parasite which is in his arm. It looks more of a spiderish type of thing. It lays dormant for a while then begins coming out of his arm. There is a little tenicle that pokes out of the skin first, and then it starts burrowing out from under the skin. He's tried to pull it out and has made ugly deep scars on his arms. When he tries to pull it out, the best he can do is get pieces. We are thinking the only place he could have gotten this is at his dads old house that he had to clean out after he died. There were rats, animal feces and who knows what else. It was disgusting. Honestly, I'm afraid my husband is going to want to kill himself one day because no one will help him, not even the CDC. We're in San Antonio, and we should have someone who knows what to do, someone to help us, we are begging for help but we just get turned away like disgusting scum. It's embarrassing, humiliating, and it consumes our lives. We need a break, one helping hand, one person who will really look at this. If I cant get someone to help us, I am most likely going to end up a widow.

Michael, I'm sorry, I'm not trying to waste your time, and I'm not begging for your help. I just haven't gone back to check my messages. I'm not playing around with you and I've been overwhelmed with the way our life is now that it consumes every waking moment. es my husband is stressed. He went through 6 months caring for his dying father sleeping in a chair beside him every night. Yes, My husband's immune system is compromised. He takes medication , which lowers his immune system because he had colon cancer and his large intestine removed. His white blood cells would attack his system so now he has a very low immune system. He has the demodex mite and as been pretty good now at keeping them under control. He is on his 3rd round of Ivermectin, which is scary because that is poison in your body This thing on his arms is just something I can't begin to know what it is. It begins to develop a large purple bump on his arm which grows and sits still for weeks. Then he can feel it move around, like digging out of his arm. It digs its way out. It is small like a little fly. It has worm or grubs on the holes that it leaves. The grubs are slimy white and have these rows of dots vertical across their back. They die when they are out on the skin. He has been to doctor after doctor and of course, they think he is crazy. There is one doctor helping him and thought they could be Bot Flys, but they aren't big enough for Bot Flys. This all began when he began to clean the nasty conditions his father was living in. Animal feces, urine, rats in the garage. We never knew it was in this condition, he would never let anyone in his house until he became ill, had a stroke and we moved him out. That's when all this started. While his dad lies dying we noticed all these purple bumps on him but attributed it to him falling. They were particularly bad on his arms. But we didn't think much of it and my husband didn't start showing these symptoms until a month or so after his dad died. My husband was the one who had physical contact with him. He was his caregiver. This is driving my husband into a person I don't know. And I don't know what to do to help. I get frustrated too and wonder if its real, is it something else, even though I see what he experiences. jojomo1323@gmail.com

Thank you! This was the most informative info on the internet!! What about a sulfur based product on the eyelash line? I know it works for scabies mites. Would it also work for the demodex mites?

Mentioned the demodex mite to my opthalmologist who has treated me for ocular rosacea with doxycyline, and he poo poo'd it saying "that's not what brought you here, all you need to do is concentrate on what I'm prescribing for you, its genetic." $$$$$$$$ I've spent over $1000 on visits and anti-biotics. I'm weening myself off the drugs after halving the dose he recommended, didn't go back to see him because of the dollar signs in his eyes. Now, I'm looking into other causes including diet.

I was on that stuff for a few years and it destroyed my liver. I thought my liver was a lost cause because even after stopping in my mid 20s, my liver continued to decline. I was stuck paying $175 TWICE A WEEK for several months to have a nurse come out and run glutathione IVs on me in attempt to repair my liver. It worked, but holy hell it was expensive, and insurance refused to cover it. Most insurance won’t cover it. I am glad you are no longer on longterm antibiotics.

As well as using tea tree shampoo and eye wipes, I also use a half teaspoon of UMF20+ manuka (a type of tea tree) honey dissolved in a 1/4 cup of distilled water with a pinch of sea salt to make an eye drop formula to treat my demodex blepharitis. I use the a couple of drops in each eye 3 to 4 times daily. The results have been astounding. I highly recommend this method in combination with good eye hygiene. You can buy manuka honey eye drops but I personally prefer to make my own as they are far cheaper and just as effective. If you are making your own eye drops be sure to use a sterile container and dropper to inhibit any further infection and don't use boiling or hot water to dissolve the honey as it will kill any antibiotic properties it has to offer.

I've had demodex problems since I was very little but I only know now that it was a mite causing all of my problems. I'm so glad I know how to treat it now but I wish that a doctor like you had told my mom in the 90s to use tea tree oil! When I was younger I would get frequest styes and my eyelids would crack so much that the bled and burn, it was awful to go through as a small child. The only advice we got from the doctor was to use eczema cream and baby soap on my eyelids. It eventually would clear up and come and go throughout my life until the age of 28 when I would experience blepharitis again. Now I have so much more information thanks to the internet.

The cliradex wipes on their own worked but the numbers would always come back and come back even worse than before. Diet and hormones also play a major role in infestation. At the time I became infected I was under extreme stress (being cheated on by my partner) and also ingesting high amounts of processed food as well as alcohol. Since then I've cut all that out of my life which has also majorly boosted my immune system's ability to fight them.

She may have trichotilomania if she has recurrent missing eyelashes.

I have had a very difficult time getting any doctor to investigate the lesions I have had all over my body, for over five years, without being accused of self inflicting them. Not one of the doctors has done a skin scraping or listened to me explain what these very painful lesions were like. I have read whatever I could get my hands on and have tried so many treatments others proclaimed had worked for them, because I have been so desperate for a cure. Most things only lessened the severity of the problem for a short time and then it came back as bad or worse. I recently came across an article stating that a prophylactic dose of doxycyclene had been effective at eliminating mites that had burrowed deep into the pores of the skin where topical treatments could not reach and had no effect. I discussed this with my GP and she was willing to give it a try! I am about three weeks into the treatment and am actually seeing results! The areas of my skin that were the worst had grown thick and swollen. That has begun to heal with quite a lot of debis sloughing off. I has looked rather disgusting, but I am seeing new, healthy skin underneath and the thickness and swelling has disipated. The lesions have gotten smaller and some have healed. There is a lot of scarring where the sores have been persistant, one forming on top of another before it heals or two or more merging together to form a huge lesion. I am hoping I might see a specialist who treats patients who have been burned, because that is how bad my skin looks. When I was in my 30s and 40s, I was treated for what they thought was adult acne. I am confident now that demodex was the problem then too. Doxycyclene was the only prescription that healed those lesions. Hopefully, what I have written will help others facing the same problem and getting no help from the medical comminity!

Tea tree oil causes painful reactions to my eye even when held in close proximity to my sclera, never mind, getting it on the skin of my lid !!!

Anna Lisa - I know your post is old, but perhaps this will help you or others reading this. I am a researcher and have seen firsthand how effective tea tree oil is under the microscope. It literally causes the mites to flee from the area. Here is what I recommend: Assemble the following: 1. small shot glass or dappen dish 2. small clean eye dropper or tiny plastic bulb syringe 2. sterile non-preservative eye drops - or - sterile distilled water 3. tea tree oil 4. 50% isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol 5. Sterile Q-tips Directions: In the glass container use a dropper or syringe to measure out a drop or two of both tea tree oil and rubbing alcohol. Then add 2-3 teaspoons saline solution or distilled water. Swirl solution to mix. Dip the sterile Q-tip into the solution and gently rub back and forth across your closed eyelid, paying special attention to the lash margins. These mites burrow deeply and you are trying to flush them and massage them out. Toss out that used Q-tip. Repeat with another clean Q-tip. Dip into the solution and go over and around the area. If you feel that some has migrated into the eye and it is stinging, drip some sterile saline or distilled water onto another Q-tip and rub over the area that is stinging. This should make it stop. Make sure you go over the entire eyelid and eyebrow area. If you can tolerate it, go over the entire face and jawline including the earlobes and inside the nose. These are the areas they are always found in great numbers. Repeat this daily if you can tolerate it, or at least several days a week. Change pillow cases often. When you believe you have achieved good results on the face, continue on to the scalp as they are there in the millions. (No joke. Everyone I have tested has them all through their hair. They are quite disturbing to see on a 24" monitor that my microscope is tied to.) Soak all combs and brushes in peroxide or scrub with tea tree oil shampoo each week. Repeat this at least several times a week. This may be necessary for several weeks or months to eradicate the majority. Good luck!

where do these mites live in furniture carpet how the heck do you get them

Leave Tea tree oil on ten minutes then wipe with rubbing alcohol for extreme oily skin. Use eye drops and wipe eye lashes. Use tea tree oil wipes in eye lashes directly hair follicles. All follicles need cleared of sebum. Some tap water is gross 🤢

Do these mites lodge themselves into eyebrow hair???

Last night I helped a friend clean out his attic. As soon as I left the house I began to feel things crawl on me under my t shirt and on my face and hair. At first I ignored it, I thought maybe it was fiberglass from the insulation in the attic but then when I tried going to sleep that night when I turned off my light I began to feel a burning sensation on my eyebrows I began rubbing it and I noticed as I was rubbing it I started feeling my eyebrows swell up and felt numbness in the area. I thought maybe I had hives because I've had hives many times as a kid and I remembered the feeling of my face swelling only this time it didn't itch at all it still doesn't itch but when I turn my lights off my eyebrows immidiately start burning and swelling. I looked real close in the mirror and noticed what looked like dry skin between my eyebrows which I do get dry skin in that area sometimes but when I do I can simply brush it off. I tried brushing them off but they did not move at all I started using my finger nail to scratch them off and my eyebrows started swelling I started scratching my eyebrows to see if I see any and when I scratched opposite of the direction the hair grows a bunch of little white things would come to the surface of my eyebrow hair but doing that made them swell up and numb so much I stared feeling like pressure in my head kinda like sinus presssure. It's so annoying and it kept me awake all night. I'll just be sitting there and I'll feel a tiny tickling feeling on the side of my face, I look in the mirror and there's what looks like a tiny spec of dust on my face. I know it's not dust cause I doubt I would ever be able to feel one spec of dust land on my face. Also I been getting random little bites on my back and stomach that look like little pimples. They don't itch or anything I just feel a tiny bite and when I look I'll see a tiny pimple and they don't just go away after a few hours like bed bug bites or mosquito bites. Also whatever is biting me is smaller than a bed bug. I can feel them crawl I look at the area I feel them crawling and I feel the bite as I'm looking at the area and I will not see anything at all besides a tiny white spec.

Oh yea I forgot to mention the fact that it all started with my hands. My friend had a box of rubber gloves in the attic I put on a pair and when we were done, when I took them off my hands felt like old people hands very dry and paper like. They looked and felt so stranger my knocked were like super wrinkled and felt like my hands had no moisture at all exactly the way elderly people hands feel. It felt so weird that my first thighs was don't tell me I got scabies. But after worrying about scabies for an hour or two I realized it's not scabies because I don't feel any itch at all. I took a shower and when I was ready for bed the whole eyebrow thing started.

Since you were working in an attic, you may have come into contact with bird mites. Bird mites infect birds, their nests, and surroundings. When the baby birds have left the nest, the mites have no food so they migrate to where there is food via people or other animals. If there were birds in or near your friends' attic, that might be your problem. You can purchase Ivermectin 1.87% paste, for oral use in horses, at stores that carry farm/livestock supplies or online. Rub the paste into where your skin itches. I would reapply after bathing.

Yes. They can migrate to eyebrows and scalp, thinning hair wherever they infest.Colloidal silver kills them. Dab CS on eyebrows and flush eyes 2-3 times daily til you stop getting the crusty residue on your lashes.

This is an update to my comment from two years ago. I am still taking a low dose of 100 mg doxycycline once per day. I also used a 1.87% Ivermectin paste, topically, on each lesion for about six months. Another product that seems to help is Selsun Blue medicated shampoo with 1% selenium sulfide (generic). I use this all over my body with a body brush, as well as on my scalp with a shampoo or scalp brush. Nearly all of my lesions have healed, but two that persist on my scalp.Theyt have shrunk to a very small size, so I am hopeful they too will heal soon. I continue to get new lesions, but they are tiny in comparison and will usually heal in two or three weeks, instead of many months. My arms, shoulders, and face are covered with unsightly scars that burn if I'm in the sun more than a few minutes. If anyone knows a method to shrink scars, I would really appreciate that information!

I want to know how to get them out of my sinuses, and all other body cavities. I caught mange mites from my DOG an also some kind of filarial skin worms. Tea tree doesn't help at all. And which parasite builds hard little rock like nests in the skin? They are spaced about every half inch on my scalp. There are TUNNELS attached to them, and some of the tunnels are over an inch long!!! I've lost most of my hair, have painful mounds and sores, and they are living in every body cavity!!!

I’ve done research and have lots of data on Ivermectin to share. In desperation I’ve treated myself this year and am cured.
