I've got a red mite infestation and I have been cleaning out my hen house and holding my girls while I apply barrier spray. I got red mites on me four days ago and changed my clothes and had a shower. I got a number of itchy red bites so next day bought some solution for nits and put it on my hair. Washed my hair again, shower with medicated soap, changed all my bedding. Still more bites. Bought nit barrier spray for humans. Whenever I go into the pen I cover myself with barrier spray. Still more bites. Yesterday another shower with medicated soap, and sent husband into the pen. Woke up today with more bites!
Have been on red mite info sites. They say humans can get bitten by red mites but no further advice about treatment. (Just showers/change clothes etc)
Anyone got any suggestions?
