It's just so confusing, because they're definitely chicken mites, im not sure which type, but they're not red mite or scaly leg mite. And with the amount of times I've read of them biting and leaving vicious red rashes, im so surprised that i don't have a mark on my body
I'm allergic to tea tree but i have been taking garlic capsules and rubbing a lotion mixed with permethrin over my skin. Theyre definately chicken related because they appeared after i spent a weekend looking after the hens for my mum. I'm just confused as to why they're not biting me
Thanks...
Last month i noticed that i had small insects crawling over my arms after putting the hens away for the night. Since then i have been finding these mites on my body every now and again. My mother regularly spends time with the chickens and she has recently given the coop a thorough clean out...
