Re: Scalp parasites..??? help
I was just about to open a post on the subject. I have 'em [demodex mites]and it's worst than you would think. They carry fungal spores, mycobacteria, anaerobic bacteria and virusus.
Not to mention the fact they are a problem all on their own by frigg'in up your immune-cells, which they can penetrate. Plus they have antigens which give you allergies.
I am trying an aggressive approach; I am using tar shampoo {which has very strong smell unfortunately} I can feel little digging sensations in my scalp after using it, so it did not kill 'em yet. I surmise it will take a lot of work to get rid of these.
I have had the opportunity to observe them under the microscope and the ones I have seen, look different than the typical human strain. I wonder if these are a cross-species from a pet I once had which died of a "skin disorder". It was a ferret. Anyway, this is not suppose to happen, but maybe it was never observed---and the ferret may have had a highly pathogenic strain and made the cross. [hypothetical]
I am just wondering if these things are the primary cause of my over-all symptoms.
