Bird Mites/ invisible arthropods

Many stories are read on these are prolonged. With good reason I know. I read one good article where a man repelled them finally after 9 months. I have read many articles where people have spent thousands of dollars over several years to no avail. This article tells you something about the problem. http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2015/02/mites/dunn-text
I have seen people use remedies like suntan oil, or diatomaceous powder. My dermatologist chose to treat it as scabies as symptoms were so similar.

Wherever they come from, or however long they stay, they are real.
I have tried many remedies. Goldbond medicated cream with menthol will give you relief.
Many people will never confront these. Some seem more susceptible to the ivasion. Like me.
There is little comfort to be had when heavily infested. It is not your fault though. Always remember that. It is important.
Not everybody can get them. Another important thing as they can force isolation. Don't let them because many people you are around will never know. I hipe this helps you. Live Long and Prosper.
