Mr rabbitears, I'm not sure what a moderator is but I am willing to try. I have read your post on mites and triclosan in particular. I was recently cured from what I believed to be a mite infestation. I used triclosan powder for it's insecticidal properties. Have you heard of this? Under what mechanism does it work? How are mites and collembolla similar? Can bird mites or collembolla cause morgellons or Lyme disease? Can these mites become resistant to the triclosan? Although my nightmare is over I am haunted by the memory of my ordeal. Your post are very valuable. How may I contribute?
