Hello,
I am 30 years old and believe I have Demodex mites. Although I have not yet had the test to confirm it, after doing extensive research, I'm quite sure that this is what I am currently suffering with.
I have read about only two cures; rosemary tea, and Zhongzhou Zinc cream a Chinese therapy. (http://www.demodexsolutions.com/) Which although seems effective, seems also a long, somewhat drawn out and expensive process. If anyone knows of any other alternatives to these I would be grateful if they passed on the knowledge!
I wondered if anyone else has had demodex and what their experiences were?
Many thanks,
Sarah5
Hello,
Thanks for your interest in my post! These are my reasons for suspecting it's demodex: Since Christmas I began to break out with acne. I am 30 years old and have never had a problem with pimples before. I then did a parasite cleanse, but for reasons unrelated to my face.
My skin became worse and stayed consistently bad. I do have the feeling of itchiness on my face and scalp at night, as described when you have demodex. Also, at Christmas I went to stay with some people on a farm, who had 4 dirty, sick, dying old dogs. I know that the demodex mites can transfer from animals to humans so I'm thinking that this may be how it started as nothing else happened around Christmas to set off acne. Obviously this is speculation as to what the cause of my skin troubles may be, I also think it could be because of certain herbs I am taking which encourage the liver to push out toxins. However I've been thinking I've had demodex for about a month now and came on here to research it and was really interested to read Glaxony's experinces with it. Putting Rosemary tea on my face does soothe it and stop the itching which is why I've also thought it could be demodex. I guess I just need to suck it up and do the test to make absolutely sure.
