Still being bothered by bugs surprisingly. It got better when i was pretty sure it was fleas. However, whatever it was just keeps coming back. Then i realized, you can feel them bite, crawl, but cannot see them. It's some kind of mite species i am constantly getting attacked by every night. You can at least see fleas, and it sure as hell isn't scabies in this case. Not going to say it's dust mites since technically, they don't bite.
I have yet again redesigned my method of attack. Disinfectant spray on everything i wear and sleep on daily. This is way easier and cheaper to keep up with.

Does the horse medicine work against mites?

This is quite the infestation you have going on. Have you tried killing it with fire just to be sure?

I feel superheated plasma in the form of a cleansing beam will be much more efficient, although collateral damage should be expected.

I stopped taking the horse medication a while ago. It does affect arthropods. But, i'd rather do something easier. I do have a few doses left anyhow. It did help in the initial run for the incorrect treatment earlier. I've put more stock in contact killing plus insect growth regulation, and now repellant as well.

:beamz:
The person being beamed is a mite; not you. Damn these hlpbb emoticons don't fit the occasion quite :mad2:

I've always envisioned GTVA showers to be a de-powered beam system. You step into a booth, press a button, and after a few seconds of static build-up you're hit with a beam that cleans you right down to the pores.
I hope you don't need to resort to similar measures to get rid of the little beasties, S-99. Mites are creepy.

Could be bird mites.

Could you post the debug log?

:lol:
I laughed way too hard at that.

Yeah, it made me laugh too.
It probably will be a debug log as well by the time he gets this sorted if he wrote down the whole saga.

"-There were several different kinds of pests.
-They ran and they jumped inside our vests..."
I'm reminded of your troubles whenever I listen to that song. :)

Back after a while. I have no idea what kind of mites they are, quite possibly bird mites as there are plenty of bird nests close to the home and a bird feeder in the backyard that the birds love. Could be either rat or bird mites. All i know, is that i switched to disinfectant spray for spraying the whole entire bed in the morning, and the rug in that room; shoes included. Seems to be helping. They only like to reside on areas of my body where there is hair. So, they particularly like my head of hair, side burns, and my ears. I sleep with sealing ear plugs that people use for shooting guns to keep them out, because they go for the ears every time :ick:
Disinfectant spray of bedding, flooring, and clothing, seems to be adding up to something cheaper to do, and so far is working. Only been at it a week for the new strategy :)
EDIT: Nevermind, it's definitely bird mites.
-
That seems to be something that would be experienced / noticed by other residents of your area. The local doctors have any treatments available?

Time to go completely bald!

The bugs seem to have only targetted me. The only guy not from the locale. I'm sure i smell darn tasty. Disinfectant spray is cheaper and easier to keep up with and yielding positive results. Also beefing up what i eat. Garlic. Heard bugs don't like that stuff.

Speaking of bugs, here is an article about bedbugs and their new resiliency.

You know, this **** is encouraging to read when you are planning a trip to the US...
Apparently, cold winter has its good sides.

Yeah, seriously. I disdain the idea of living in an apartment or a hotel/motel now.
I've done some thinking. I believe i've had these mites since some time in alaska. At least the last 4 years. Just never really noticed until my spidey senses got activated from bedbug mayhem in lakeworth texas. The family i was living with was awesome. There place not so. We knew also know who brought the ****ers in.
These bastards were crawling the ceilling and walls in the day time looking for you. They also came out in droves if you sat on your bed at night with the lights on. Talk about killing 10 in a row and they kept coming. It's a weird thing recommending to your landlord that everyone moves to a different place, but she asked for my advice.
On mites...
I'm like the many human beings that has them and don't know it. Except i do know. Getting up with my nutrition that my body was missing for a long time, plus working out, being more cleanly (i was never exactly a dirty ****er), really reduces them bothering you so much.
