If only tears killed bird mites

[Rvigil]

We have a micro ranch with peacocks, chickens,turkeys and a goat. We had pigeons, ringneck pheasants, geese, and ducks. All of a sudden I got very sick and had what I thought was a cold sore on my upper lip. This sore hurt so bad I cried and it grew to the most ugly large sore. I started to break out on my face and realized that any sore, cut scrape, and even a scratch would not heal. I was sick for 5 days straight and I slept for 3 of them. I had a sore throat swollen glands, fever and fatigue. I cried so much during those days. I finally went to urgent care. The Dr said I had a virus and the sore was just bad luck. He gave me an antibiotic and I felt I little better. The sore went down, but has never gone away. It was over a month when we realized that something is biting me. I told my husband that something is crawling on me and biting me “I think we have flea’s”. I researched bugs and found invisible bug’s. I thought that’s what was happening. Then I found a little red bug and found that is was a mite. I researched and realized that bird mites bote and can’t be seen. I am the only one that feels them and gets bit. I am very allergic to their bites and they swell and ooze then pop. I realized that the mite is attached to the scab and they keep making it bleed to feed on me. We had pigeons at the time and they were in their pens. My husband had to get rid of them asap. We started buying pesticide after pesticide and natural oils. I have dogs and cats and a pet sun conure so natural was the best option. I have sprayed my house with clove oil, vinegar,borax, baking soda, eucalyptus and rubbing alcohol. All of those things just made them attack me and bite me. I vacuumed so much that I had the most debilitating panic attack. I was hopeless and thought I just want to end everything. I bought a steam cleaner, vacuum filter, bags and mite proof mattress covers. I am so tired of being attacked and they always land on my face and bite so hard. I still cry a lot and yesterday I bought a uv light with an ozone generator. I am going to try that and hope it helps. I really just want to burn my house down and sometimes myself with it. I have a fantastic husband and a beautiful 4 year old daughter. I am not social because everyone thinks I have acne. I am 44 years old and it’s embarrassing. This is utter hell and I pray it will end soon. I don’t like to leave because I am afraid to give them to someone. They jump off of me and I can see them. I wear glasses and the mites jump onto them and crawl all over my face. It’s pure agony. I am afraid to wear contacts because they land on my eyelashes and I am afraid one will get on my eye. They crawl in my nose and ears and bite. I cannot eat because I am so grossed out by the thought of bugs in my food. I cannot sleep because they feed on me at night and I have horrible nightmares. I am so emotionally exhausted and frustrated. My husband is so supportive and loving, but I am afraid my life might not be normal again. He tells me “we don’t retreat,we reload”. When I cry my daughter says “why are you crying mom? Daddy says it’s going to be alright”. God please give us all the strength to fight these awful bugs.
