Thanks for sharing. I, too, moved in a house in the woods a couple of years ago and I have been fighting some kind of mite infestation, especially bad in my hair/scalp area. I have always had thick, healthy hair. Now, I have lost about 1/2 of it and the texture of it has changed. I find weird looking specs and mites in my sink that fall out of my hair when I comb/brush it. I save many of them in a jar of alcohol (not sure why b/c the dermatologist thought I was a whacko for doing so)! Some of them look long with pointed ends like they could drill/bore themselves easily into a hair follicle. Most are black but some are brown. I have been using TTO, Borax, Cedarwood oil, neem shampoo/conditioner, Denorex, T/Gel, vinegar, baking soda, coconut oil, and more to try to eradicate this frustrating problem. I just want to shave my head!! Sometimes they get on my face, neck, and shoulders during the night and bite. I have been using strictly neem products on these areas with good success. I am now doing a cleansing...does cleansing help with these kinds of mite infestations?
