I would just like to thank everyone for all your posts. Me and some of my coworkers are currently trying to rid ourselves of these mites. We don’t know where they came from but we can only assume from all of the trees around where we work. This all started 2 months ago, but then I didn’t know what was the cause of my extreme itchiness. I thought I was imagining it until 2 weeks ago one of my bosses was basically covered in bird mites and went to hospital to find out what was happening and that’s when they told her it was bird mites. Since then we have been fighting them. It has only affected some of us, and a few of my coworkers that have not had any problems.

This is very exhausting but now that I’ve found your web site I have hope that I will be able to rid myself of these things. I’m getting ready to try the dawn dish soap now since everything else I’ve done has only slowed them down. I did discover that you actually can see them if you put glycerin or tea tree oil on your skin. I was shocked to see all of these black and brown specs all over my body. Before I couldn’t see anything on me but I knew something was there.

Well thank you all for sharing your experience and I hope to be free of these things soon
