    Ugh... Mites, I think.

    Finally the store I get my herbs from got some wormwood capsules in. AND thank goodness!! because after a month of using the liquid extracts I must admit they don't seem to work for me, at all! My sores were coming back and I was starting to get the itchies again. I did not get any blood work...

    Ugh... Mites, I think.

    ML, are you using a liquid or capsule combo? I have tried 3 diff brands all containing the hull, clove, and wormwood that are liquid extracts and they are all absolutely horrible tasting!! I'm still patiently waiting for the wormwood to be restocked so I have no choice but to take the liquid...

    Ugh... Mites, I think.

    did you give the combo a try? I was wondering the same thing, my local supplier of the wormwood has been out for over 2 weeks and it won't be in any time soon. However I have seen the combination of the herbs (liquid form only at this store) and sent my dh to pick some up after work. I don't...

    Ugh... Mites, I think.

    oh Miss Lydia this HAD been a total night mare for sure! I am doing so well now, I continue to take the the herbs and I will continue through the new year and then skip a week and start again for a week and skip again. I don't know, I'm NEVER going back to where I was and so I must say I'm...

    Ugh... Mites, I think.

    Hey I just wanted to update those who have read this thread. Im a firm believer in the magic of the zapper but I want to say this. Though the zapper took my itch almost entirely away instantly!! I wasnt satified with the results completely because I was still covered in a rash and I was still...

    So I just wanted to share a nice introduction story... Recently (well about a month ago) I introduced my new little runners to the rest of the flock(4 other runners 2 drakes and 2 ducks). BACK STORY- I had lost my girl Francine to a dang skunk this summer and her sister Dottie seemed...

    Ugh... Mites, I think.

    I tried soaking in baking soda once but not Epsom, the Dr suggested the Epsom but I don't have any on hand. The baking soda definitely brought me relief for about an hour, then the bites (pin pricks) and intense itching was back. I didn't like the thought of sitting in the "bug water" I was...

    Ugh... Mites, I think.

    this is going to sound totally insane, but desperate times call for desperate measures. After 6 months of intense itching to the point of bleeding, sleepless nights,countless forums about bug infestations, Dr's apt., being so miserable feeling trapped inside my skin and people saying I'm crazy...

    Ugh... Mites, I think.

    Thanks Amiga for the link I checked it out and posted hopefully I will get a response. The doc prescribed me a cream called Pramosone. Basically a band aid not the cure. She also suggested I get a lotion called Sarna, which I did. This summer when it started I instantly chalked it up to little...

    Rash from ducks??

    Blondiega1 what was your final outcome? I've been itching like crazy on my legs since at least July and our symptoms sound similar. I've had my ducks over a year and never experienced anything like this, I can't imagine I'm allergic to them, they don't let me get close enough to have a...

    Ugh... Mites, I think.

    Anyone have any experience with CERCARIAL DERMATITIS??? I think I may have contacted it by standing in my ducks pond to clean it out. (I do that to save my back incase anyone is wondering what I was doing in their pond to begin with) OR... Anyone have any experience with BIRD MITES??? Im...

    *~*Runner Duck Club*~*

    Today a very special package arrived. I have been in need of females to add to my flock and when Francines eggs didn't work out and then she died I was completely at a loss. Not only was there no babies to add to the bunch but my sweet girl was gone too. The day Francine passed away my husband...

    Egg questions!

    If you used it yesterday it was probably fine (the egg) otherwise I think cooking it up for the ducks is great idea and if you just mash it all up shell and all, that too is added calcium for the girls. As for the duck laying an egg on the patio, you'll have that. My guess is the reason you...
