Borax and Hydrogen Peroxide Soak
07/09/2009: April from North Florida, replies: " For mites on the dog -- try covering the dog with mayonnaise!!! Leave it on as long as you can before rinsing it off. After rinsing I like to shampoo the dog and rinse with vinegar and water. The dog may smell like a salad while wearing the mayo, but the mayo suffocates the mites. We run a dog rescue and take in babies with all sorts of skin ailments, and this works like a charm getting rid of mites. Lots of people claim dogs with mange are incurable - well, the mange caused by mites is taken care of with mayo every time."
April thanks for posting tis.. I did this twice in 12 hrs to my little female pooch
it is awesome.. and the mayo also made her coat smooth and the vinegar balanced out the residual redness of her skin .. I can't believe how well it worked and how calm it made her.. like she was getting a spa treatment .. the may gave her instant relief
guess the mites are less active right away?? And she just laid there I was able to leave the mayo on for over an hour each time. I put sterile gauze pads in the apple vinegar and let them stay on her deflated mite sites......again AWESOME.. about 75 to 80 percent better after the first treatment and a small gain after the 2nd on.. I am letting her skin recuperate and w ill do it again in a day or two
my question.. how often to you do this treatment.. how long does it take ( does it vary) to eliminate all the mite sites? and more specific instructions would be appreciated
a big thanks from me.. and great big wet kiss from Roxie...KA from La Mesa California

Infrared Sauna Blanket: Gradually work up to 1 hour, and gradually increase the temperature. Drink lots of water after use. Do this everyday.
Bio-magnetic Pair Therapy: I noticed a difference almost immediately. I had 7 treatments at 45 minutes per session.
Megadose of Vitamin D3: My daily dose of D3 is 20,000 ui as recommended by Dr. Berg YouTube. I noticed Scabies were disturbed when I took this. (Please note: Scabies parasite are like hornets. When you disturb their nests they fight back and make you feel uncomfortable, itchy. So when you are feeling uncomfortable, or if your skin breaks out, this is a good sign you are winning the war.)
Figs: Are a natural parasitic. I noticed scabies were disturbed when I ate figs regularly. Eat them every day, 1/2 cup cooked or dried.
Avoid Sugar and Excess Meat and Dairy: A healthy immune boasting diet of raw nuts, raw seeds, vegetables and complex carbs.
I saw a Licensed Bio-magnetic therapist. She trained under Dr. Groiz. The magnets used for this therapy are very powerful, so I believe one should leave this type of treatment to the experts. A fridge magnet strength would be about 40 gauss. We are talking 3500 - 5000 gauss strength for this type of treatment.
Borax and Hydrogen Peroxide Paste, High Heat
★★★★★
Now, order the 4 pack of Borax on Amazon and go to the dollar store to get the Hydrogen Peroxide.
1.Run a bath as hot as you can stand (they cool off quickly) and boil 2 cups of water to which you slowly add 1 cup of Borax while stirring constantly, then add one cup Peroxide (the 3% normal stuff sold everywhere). Pour this concoction into your hot bath, swirl it around and get in and soak for 30 minutes (don't forget to dip your head into the bath at the end--they are on your scalp and in your hair, too, just like dogs).
2.When done get 1/2 cup Borax and 1/2 cup Peroxide, mix together and apply head to toe while standing in your empty tub (if you have someone to heat your Peroxide before mixing that will make a smooth paste, otherwise the rough Borax may irritate your skin but works just the same).
3. Use a hair dryer to blow dry the concoction on your skin (don't go near water--electrocution risk). Dry hair and put a disposable plastic shower cap over your head to sleep.
4. Put on clean clothes, put your old clothes and used towel/washcloth directly into plastic bag and take to laundry room.
5. If you feel a bite (bites are sharp like a needle piercing your skin, itching is not sharp) get the hair dryer and blow the spot at the highest temp you can take without burning your skin--start close then slowly increase distance away from skin and work back to close again, do this for about 20 seconds. Critters don't like heat and the goal is to kill them before they lay their eggs.
6. Continue baths, post-bath Borax/Peroxide for 1-2 weeks. You should feel better day by day, especially if using the hairdryer trick, too.
Wash all bedding/towels daily (put plastic protectors over your mattress and pillow), all clothing worn daily. Wash in hottest temp and then, if possible, dry in sun before drying in dryer for 30 min. at hottest setting. Let clothing/bedding/towels go unused for 3 days after washing before using again. I have read the critters die after 2-3 days off a person, but I also read where some lived for 18 days! We want them gone!! If you can sleep away from others, even better.
Make a spray of your pet/livestock store 10% permethrin and water in a spray bottle (1 oz. Permethrin to 4 oz. water) and spray everywhere you touch--chairs, sofa, bed (with bedding removed), pillow, area in laundry room where you put your plastic bags with dirty linens, inside dryer, inside washing machine, hairbrush and comb, laundry basket, car seats, steering wheel, arm rest, etc. Vacuum daily all rugs, tile, floors. Sprinkle Borax on all carpets and let sit overnight before vacuuming up the next day (wear a face mask so you don't inhale)-- Do this once. I also sprayed all carpets and floors and furniture with the Permethrin solution but I don't think that's necessary and it makes your house smell toxic--air it out and use fans to blow the smell away. Spray can be applied to furniture and car seats daily. After 2 months of unsuccessful treatments I was willing to try everything. They also tell you to make a skin lotion of Coconut oil (the kind you buy for cooking) and Tea Tree oil (also available on Amazon, use 5 drops per ounce of oil) but this just made a greasy feel and can't say it repelled anything--may make your skin sting from sore spots or if you rubbed the Borax in too hard. Hair dryer trick much better and instant relief. Don't lotion up until baths and post-bath solutions are done--the goal is to change the Ph of your skin and repel them and lotion invites them.
Do the baths, Borax/Peroxide after-bath, Hair dryer, and clean, clean, clean, and you should be good within 2 weeks or less. A dose of Ivermectin doesn't hurt, but at $90 a prescription can't say it helps, either. Dosing yourself in Insecticide (Permethrin) and leaving it on only causes it to create toxic response as it is absorbed into your body and liver (I did this, too) and the Permethrin alone doesn't do the job unless you only have one or two red spots under your watch band, between your fingers, at your waist or under your bra (critters like tight, warm spots to live).
Good luck, you will survive this.

Hello,
I look at earth clinic about over a year. My problem I have scabies for two years and it won´t go away, whatever I do. The mites are deeper under the skin, you can see nothing on the skin, also light red dots. All medecine or home remidies don´t reach the mites enough. Outside, inside and bath treatments also in combination. (I think it is scabies, because eight family members where also infect, also creams don´t reach, because of the deeper inside of the mites, and a dermatologist (skin doctor) said that that was scabies (I don´t know if he see a mite, or he thinks of the skin reaction). I havn´t this skin reaction but the horrobil feelings (stinging, burning, itching, the same as the other family members). And the first skin defensive is missing by myself, because I got it from a short touch from a family member and from there it spreading over the whole body. Now I have it from toe to scalp and I must have thousend or millions of mites. Ivermectin in sereval times help the other family members, but not me. Some people in the internet tell something about red bird mite. I don´t know. (And it is not a re-infection (all cleaning is done), it don´t go from my body). I lost 30 kg weight and my immune system is going down (blood values, you can see it). And I have often short cold chills.
What I have done outside: Permithrin also 4 weeks, Crotamitex, benzoylbenzoat, malathion, bleech, tiger balm, sulfur cream 20% mixed by myself, coconutoil with clove oil 50/50, other oils with etherial oils (lemmon, oregano, champhor, thymian, tea tree, also combinated), garlic in cream, ballistol oil, peru balsam, sulfur lime, MSM cream, turpentine oil, CDL, DMSO, dermatomic earth, enzym spray (KleenGreen), papain (enzym) spray, castor oil and so on
bath: bleech, CDL, epson salt, sea salt, borax with hydrogen peroxid
what I have done inside: Ivermectin tablets also several times, Flucanonzole several times, another woorm tablets, anorganic sulfur, turpentine oil, CDL, DMSO, oregano oil, garlic, bitter herb teas (Yarrow, nettle, horsetail, birch leaves, sorrel (two tablespoon of each in a big tea pot with hot water 15 minutes to let go and drinking over the day), wormwood extract powder, eat hot (chilli), eat a lot of tumeric, eat ginger, eat no sugar and less carbohydrates, eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, fermental drinks, supplements (vitamin C, vitamin B complex, OPC, Q 10, enzymes, probiotics, propolis, bitter melone capsules, grapefruit capsules, vitamin B 3 with flush, and so on
homeopatic: sulfur C 30, arsenicum album C 200, sepia C 200, kalium sulfur C 200, psorinum C 1000, causticum C 30, natrium muriaticum 1 M, staphesagria C30, apis C 30, azadirachta,
All treatments only reduce the speed of spreading. When I do nothing it is spreading extremly. What I recognize after 1-2 weeks you must change the treatment, because the mites have gotten used to it and adapted.
The sulfur C 30 helps best for 3 days (better then permithrin or ivermectin), then no more, castor oil (when creaming over 5 days the whole day) pulls something out of the skin (3000 or more pimples), but it doesn´t reach to cure, causticum helps that the burning isn´t so much,
I need something for the horrobil stinging pain, I can´t anymore. I`m desperated. Have anybody an idea for the horrobil pain? (I think the mites won´t go away in future) Thanks a lot
If you find that after applying the vinegar, your skin is even more itchy, then it's a sign the vinegar is working. In this case, add more vinegar until itching goes away. Then pat dry.

In the moment I taking vitamic C, OPC, probiotics, magnesium, Q enzyme Q10 (a lot of vitamin C, because I think it helps a little bit), for the skin I spray with KleenGrenn enzyme spray or with borax/H2O2 (that was Ted advoice here for dogs), and then I taking homeopathic remedy sulfur C30 three times a day, that's how I get through the day and it doesn't spread so much, but it still stings and burns and itches.
What I tried in the past can you read in my first message. What I do sometimes is to sleep in pur castor oil (I bought a bath tube, where I filled in castor oil and there I have been there for three days, that reduce it (to suffocate them), but not all, then the burning/ itching and the stinging will be greatly reduced, I get about 3000 pimples where it burned and stinged before, and it comes out of the skin (pimples) and it comes very small like grains of sand out of the skin, thats a little bit painfull, but not so much. The advice for castor oil comes from (KleenGreen), they wrote me to put it in the evening on the whole body and then wash off it the next day, then spray or cream the body (with enzyme spray or a cream where you put enzyme (papain) in it) and the next evening put castor oil on the skin and so on. The castor oil should kill the mites immediately on the surface of the skin. Because it is a thick oil. But it is very oily and you have to be careful not to get anything dirty. And I noticed it helps against the burning and itching and so I thought I try it with a bath tube with castor oil. When I reduce the burming /itching/stinging, I feel better and then I gain weight again. But it don´t reach to heal. (I creamed with castor oil 5 weeks and some mites get through somehow)
The stinging and burning is all over the body, but the most on the whole scalp, behind the ears, neck, face here eyebrow and around it, tempels, nose and around it, lips and around it, chin and below, back up and down, butt, knees, feet, ankles, wrists, elbows.
The feelings what I have it is burning, itching and the painfull stinging, sometimes the stinging is until the bone/ a pain of the surface on the bone, (I think, when the mites are deeper and reached nerve tissue, which is connected to the bone.) I have short cold showers/chills (I don´t know the right word in english, I hope you understand me) over the whole day. I get more warts. More edema on the ankles. Dry skin, with very, very small skin flakes. ( I had no skin problems before, had rarly creamed (only in the cold season and then with a homemade marigold cream) only washed with water and a organic soap.
KleenGreen told me, when you treat the mites are extremly they start fighting extremly back with the painfull stinging. I can confirm this (when I took a very good preparation for the immune system, they attacked me very hard, and I had to stop)
Today I will start with a homeopatic treatment, that somebody told me. Here I can´t put anything on the skin, but I will try the urine remedy after that. And I will wash my hands with bicarb/backing soda or vinegar. When the homeopatic treatment works I will write here.
Thank you very much for your answers, thank you so much!!!

In dogs, there is a type of scabies that cannot be eradicated by using internal or external treatments. It can only be killed by improving the immune system. 'Selenium' has been used successfully for this. Perhaps you may have a type similar to this.
In addition to what you're already taking, the following taken daily, will help to strengthen your immune system;
- Selenium
- Iodine
- Vitamin D
- Bone broth (boil raw bones for 2 hours, discard bones)
- Raw fresh garlic (4 daily, crushed, mixed into butter or extra virgin olive oil, with food)
- Raw fresh radish (2 small)
- Beetroot (1 small, or ½ medium size, raw, grated in salad or cooked)
- The juice & pulp of 1 small Lemon or Lime
- Unfiltered Extra Virgin Cold pressed Hemp seed oil (1 tsp)
- ½ or 1 cabbage leaf or any other cruciferous vegetable E.g broccoli. It's ok to eat these raw on occasion but if eaten daily should be cooked (boiled & water discarded) to avoid affecting the thyroid.
- Potato (peeled, cooked, no green)
- Sauerkraut 1 tsp (must be from the refrigerator section as it has 'live' bacteria)
- Milk thistle tea (1 tsp seeds, ground up, boiled 5 minutes)
- Olive leaf tea (5-10 leaves boiled 5 minutes)
- Wild caught, cold water fish eg. salmon (3 times a week)
The reason for the above in bold, is because they are the most important for immune health.
Eliminate the following;
- All grains, as they produce yeast (may make scabies thrive)
- Vegetable fats or oils (except for extra virgin coconut oil/fat & extra virgin olive oil)
- Alcohol
- sugar (genuine honey is good)
- Condiments such as soy sauce,
Use Himalayan pink salt or any other natural salt in cooking. Avoid table salt.
Use Filtered water when drinking or cooking.
Avoid the following cookware; aluminium, non-stick & enamel. Instead use stainless steel & oven-safe glassware for baking.
I wish you all the best Tebora...

I've been to 5 drs and 4 dermatologists… they all use the same playbook to take No action and minimize and blame you for your skin condition. They don't want this infectious disease reported. The CDC has removed it as a reportable infectious disease. So it doesn't have to be reported at all.

I tried your remedy and I am getting the white shards! I have a few questions that I hope you could please answer. Did you apply to your whole body including hair and then leave on for 10 minutes and wipe the shards off. Or did you leave it on your body?
Neem, Coconut, Clove and Tea Tree Oils
I'm so happy it's working for you! Yes even hair, I did hair only overnight and slept with a bag or shower cap on my head. I'd have to wash 3x to get the stench of the neem oil out though, but still well worth it in my opinion. At the beginning I would rinse off in the shower and apply again. Depending on how much time I had. Also I did notice when I added a dash of hydrogen peroxide it got the last couple of deep ones in. Towards the end I was sleeping with it on overnight. Don't put hydrogen peroxide on hair though.

- NAC & other supplements Vit C 7,500 mg etc
- Daily Clothing in ziplock labelled day week leave in 10days
- Daily Permethrin on itch spots - night and day yes
- Daily Laundromat - 30min and leave sit in heat 15min longer
- Mats that cover Floor all bedding and towel
- Daily Spray - Kleen Green benches steering wheel surfaces and van floor
- Weekly - Clip nails often
- Weekly - Permethrin weekly
- Weekly - Head - ivermectin or Permethrin mixed with 1/2 the quantity of conditioner
- 3 weekly Moxidectin 1/2 dose ? Full (neurotoxin)similar to ivermectin a stronger version
If anyone can suggest another treatment, please do so. Thank you.
Hair Dryer
★★★★★
Yes, this absolutely works! Just blast the parts with heat using any hair dryer. Blast it every time it itches. So keep your hair dryer nearby. Once a week apply permethrin lotion leave it for 24 hours. In two weeks time, they're all gone.
Tea tree oil applied to skin everyday for one month as prevention. You really can't kill all that is in the environment. So just make sure they dont have any host for a while until they all die out eventually. If u can use tea tree oil soap and shampoo, the better!
You don't need to suffer yourself with all those bleach, peroxide soaks.

I bought 1kg sulpher powder from eBay...Every night I put it on my body after a shower and also on my eyebrows...It was working slowing but the bugs would scramble into my nose, on my eyelashes and hair...It was like a never ending story until I found one thing that has more or less got rid of them. Cello/sticky tape!
After putting on the sulpher, I would wait a minute and then run a piece of tape across my eyelashes..Do it very gently and pull from the inside out slowly...Do both lashes and then proceed to your eyebrows, from the outside in this time...Don't worry, you wont lose any eyelashes or brows if you do it this way and slowly...I was doing it 3/4 times a day and you will be surprised how many stick to the tape....Next and just as important, run you vacuum nozzle over your hair daily for just a few minutes and this will suck up any in your hair...Try and get lengths of hair shaft.
Next and equally important, vacuum your mattress and rub the sulpher into it and place a sheet on top..I did this twice, about three days in between.
Back to the tape..I used darker pillow cases so I could see the bugs..They were mostly white and ran the tape over my pillow cases (with pillows on) every day...You will see them sitting on the pillow cases..You can use wider tape or thinner tape but try and buy a good quality one as it has much more adhesive to pick up the bugs...I do this every day as they will keep coming back but they wont get a chance to lay eggs...I also run the tape over my face and caught a huge one in it..
No need to wash bedding every single day in hot water as it's time consuming and who has time to do that...The bugs have almost gone and my skin is clearing up and that terrible itch has subsided to zero...The tape combined with the sulpher is the key...Keep it up for months, even when the itch stops so you completely break the cycle..Dip your finger in the sulpher and place it inside your nose..It wont hurt you and they will come out..Have your tape ready and place some over your upper lip as well to lift any that have fallen out of your nose...This really works as I'm almost cured and you wont have to go through all those expensive creams and lotions or maddeningly washing your bed linen daily..Plus, it's easy and you will get great pleasure seeing those disgusting pests stuck to the tape..Make sure you fold the tape over its self to trap them and dispose of them into the rubbish bin..I keep a plastic bag to throw the used tape into it.
After 3 months of this, I feel great again..I wish I bought the tape months ago. Good luck everyone and you will get rid of it like I did.

Borax
Thank you for all your help with what's posted. I've read extensively.
I believe I had scabies, it was misdiagnosed as many things and finally treated w oral ivermectin after about 6 months. It seemed to be clear. That was in the spring of 2014. I spent a lot of time in the ocean that summer. When it got colder and I spent less time it came back. Clustered bite marks and other itches. I should mention that prior to the ivermectin (stromectol) I went through three episodes of nodules. When it came back I did several treatments of permethrin and had die offs. At the same time a new sensation had started very tingly around the bottom of my nose and nipples and tops of toes. Heavy treatments of sulfur seems to stop it for a bit. Then in the winter I did home crusted scabies w Iver paste and once a week perm. Almost gone again but then came back. In the summer in the ocean it goes away until I stop swimming. Also sulfur soap keeps it down. I now think it's Demodex and not scabies. Maybe I had scabies maybe not.
I've been taking the borax 1/4 teaspoon w distilled water one liter for 5 days. I immediately began having a sensation that I haven't heard people mention, which is increased pricking sensation on torso. Not so much itching. Back of neck is itchy. I can see some cylindrical dandruff in my beard but not eyelashes. Is this sensation from the borax normal? The ocean where I am is very salty and when I leave it to dry on my skin I get 12-24 hours of almost nothing. I intend to begin baking soda and have no bath tub so maybe spray with borax peroxide or Epsom salt?
Many thanks, Ted!

I got a kick out of Rees comment about my having lots of health problems. I have lots of health problems because I test when most don't. I am on my second round of blood cancer in 3 years because I test before problems become clinical.
It's the high jumper story. What are you? "I'm a high jumper". How high do you jump? "Pretty dang high". And how high is that? " Way higher than most folks in this area". Exactly, how high is this? " A little less than 6 ft."
Partner, I don't know what you are, but you are no high jumper.
Most folks don't know their problems because they don't test. They don't know their health condition until it hits them in the face. I know where I am because I test.
Going to Dr Shallenberger in Jan. because he has a test like no other physician on the planet. He gets it down to the cell level. I was successful in the paper industry because I listened to folks smarter me. At 78, my challenge is my good health and I still listen to folks smarter me.
What tests are you talking about? For openers, all on EC should take their urine and saliva pH test once a week. That will keep you busy for quite awhile. Take your glucose and blood pressure daily . Chump change. Spit in a glass of water and you will know about your Candida. No MD needed.
A few tests and you will know more about your health than your MD.

I then read that they die at 120 + degrees. I just happen to have a FIR sauna and cranked that bugger up to 160 to 180 degrees. We bagged all clothes and bedding in plastic bags daily and scalded the little bastards daily in the wash.
What you have is a chore on your hands and you can not half-ass it, least you spend years on this project. We shucked these rascals in a few weeks.
Usually when someone says they are treating a friend, who they mean is themselves. You amongst friends, so speak freely. I wish you well.

I had forgotten about beating my body with a birch branch to draw my blood to the surface. A sauna over there is a form of socializing. All the hotels have a public sauna and I would never go to one again. The place is saturated with all the toxins from thousands of people's sweat. I was learning in those days.
Read that both the Saunas in the US and Canada are restricted to not exceed 194 F. Here is a good sauna URL for folks that want to learn more. ======ORH=======

Your sauna reaches 180' F. Great. That is the appropriate temp for ANY sauna for recreational use. That doesn't mean your skin temp goes that high.
Our skin temperature (down where the mites are hiding) do not reach high enough temperatures to kill the little bastards. Your body self regulates and cools itself thru sweating, circulating cooler internal blood to your extremities, etc.
If you actually got the deeper layers of your skin heated enough to kill the scabies, you would be subjecting your skin to burns.
I explained how hot water can burn your skin. You disregarded that, saying you were talking about air temp. That doesn't matter. If you got the deeper layers of your skin hot enough to kill scabies, you burn your skin.
The sauna method does NOT work without harming the person trying it.

A thought first: First check the possibilty that it may be 'folliculitis' as scabies is often diagnosed incorrectly.
I scrubbed my large area of infection on the knee with neat conditioner (I use any unbranded name). They are better than the one that is head and shoulders above the rest for infections. I use neat conditioner for most things especially eczema.
This cleared the area of surface critters. However, I notice there often isn't a distinction between 'I'm free of them' to 'I'm free of the infection underneath the skin'.
The following is not for the faint hearted. I can only say this is what I did and not saying do it.
I poured a very small amount of 33% peroxide into a small glass. I then add a little water. The mixture was very powerful, way beyond 10%.
With a cotton bud I rubbed into the infected burrow lines till they opened and whoosh the peroxide just killed everything. The process was so painful that I thought I couldn't bear it but I keep pushing the bud. The off white residue was hard so I washed it down. Later, I repeated the process on the missed areas.
I can always tell if there is any infection under the skin because if I press an area it feels like a pin sticking in me. My knee looked like I had fallen on gravel that cut deeply into my flesh.
At last the infection had gone. Now I am recovering and applying simple balms to the sores. There is no scarring of 'burnt' areas.

Most people on here (including myself), may click "Yea" to bleach bath, and attribute the cure to the bleach bath (as I did), but I also used Permethrin a couple days before the bleach bath. This is probably true for many others here--so it adds confounding variables.
That's why we need controls.

Ted's Remedies
Re Ted's formula for mite infestation and your question on Ted's use of DMSO...
I've been using DMSO longer than most any other "curative" item ...about 30 years. Just used it a day ago on Impetigo case which is children's infection by bacteria. Used Bentonite clay, DMSO, H2O2 and Colloidal Silver to form the "plaster"... Wrapped infected finger with clay mix. Let dry and washed off. Then assuming for caution sake the infection might also contain spores of fungus, also applied to dry surface, a powder form of anti fungal and held that in place with paper towel. Finally, a re application of the Clay / DMSO mix.
The point is the DMSO was used easily on child with no ill effects. Only helped. I also use DMSO on any sign of Bells Palsey, for instance....I mix DMSO fifty fifty with colloidal silver and apply on affected side with white paper towel. Only ten days ago I suddenly had a swollen forefinger on left hand. Out of the blue....couldn't figure why since I'd done no exercise/ yard work etc the day before....I used DMSO straight on swollen area. Worked the area and now days later no swelling. I found I could "move" the swollen joint and "pop" it in place. Almost no sensitivity now.
I'm just trying to point out all the times I use DMSO. Not weekly, but I bet I use DMSO eight or nine times yearly on myself, and have now for over three decades.
Watch on youtube, DMSO, dr Jacobs, sixty minutes and you'll find a great three part program on DMSO.

Borax and Hydrogen Peroxide Soak
When I tried the olive oil & sulfur I didn't repeat it or keep it up. Perhaps a mixture of sulfur + olive oil + coconut oil + a few drops of tea tree oil would be a good combo. The olive oil sticks around longer and the tea tree oil might interfere with offspring reproduction.
Hey all these trials are just slightly educated guesses. The good thing is they are natural. That's not to say they can't hurt you (like the burn I gave myself from cayenne in it; still have a few red patches from that! ).
Your technique of looking for dead mites the next morning is interesting. Sounds like you have a scientific perspective, trying to find evidence like that. Bravo! It's a tough problem to solve without good feedback, and that is limited.
If you assume there are several or many (another unknown to factor in) different groups of bugs & their offspring, your collection method might not be representative of all of them. But it's the best idea I've heard of.
I might give it a try to see if I can even spot one of the little buggers. I spent 5 minutes trying to see if I could spot one with a magnifying glass on my leg with no luck. One problem I foresee with the clear tape approach is that there will likely be lots of dead skin cells on the tape and they may actually interfere with spotting bugs. Worth a try tho.
