I am not entirely sure what you are talking about. Do you have pets? Could it be fleas? Bed bugs maybe?

When checking google for "black pepper mites" I came across both fleas and bed bugs.

No not fleas or bedbugs.....these are mites and get into everything. click on this link for the info:

Biting Mites - Kleen Green Enzymes - Natural Ginesis

Chery

The humand and animal host has many 'guests' and these are not new.

The enzyme in the link you provided is probably not a bad idea, but there is an enzyme already on the market that can also do the job, it is Quick & Brite. This is super biodegradeable and can be used to wash body and hair - it just is not as 'fragrant' as the expensive stuff.

I am not a sponsor for the product, but I have used it since I found it approximately 20 years ago.

I use this disolved with water to clean Simba's ears (my daughter's cat), and then I place a few drops of olive oil to protect the cleaned ears from further sudden invasion.

It has been proven that if you wash the body's natural bacteria away too much and don't 'grease' it after the soapy invasion, the body is vulnerable to harsher invasions from all types of mites that are in the household.
So, my suggestion is to try a body lotion right after scrubbing for protection.

Hope this helps.

I have been fighting this invasion for 8 months . I provided that link because it explains what these things are: I have been to 3 Doctors who had no idea as to what I was talking about.. one told me I was obsessing.. in the meantime I am bothered all the time by this..in my clothes ,my sheets, my car... the product Kleen Green has really helped .. where do I find the product you suggested? by the way, I have no pets.. I think I picked this up trying clothes on in a discount store.

I have this same thing in my home too. I been searhing all over the internet and no one really seems to know what to do. These things are so small you can't see them, they infest you rug, clothing, bed and they bite like hell. At least the ones I encountered do, we may not be taking about the same thing. Also, they seem to be able to move through the fiber of clothing and bite. I tried sleeping once completely covered and within a matter of minutes could feel them on my skin. If I stand barefoot on my rug, I can feel them crawling up my leg. The only way I've been able to get a good nights sleep is to spay the rug around the bed with insecticide then spay the mattress with insecticide (non-odor), cover it up good after and hour or so and then spray the sheets, covers, pajamas, and myself with rubbing alcohol. I also turn on my air and fan to make sure the room is well ventilated. The next day, the same thing all over again. Don't know what to do.

There are several websites that give good info. Use Sulfur Soap to wash up in the shower... Selson Blue shampoo ... Kleen Green has helped me... there is Kleen Free and then the newer version Kleen Green .. I buy the concentrate 32 oz bottle and I fill spray bottles following the instructions and keep them all over the house and one in my car.. I use the spray on everything and it does not stain.. cover your mattress with a plastic cover .. I got mine at Wal-Mart .. wash your clothes and sheets with Borax or detergent and add 2 cups ammonia in each load.. these bugs love cotton or natural fabric. Go to the Kleen Green website to find out more mite info.

Oh my goodness. I have been battling these guys since we went camping in the summer. I thought they were lice, but there were no nits. I used at least 10 different types of pesticides and natural products, I would be clear for maybe a few hours - then I could feel them again. I went to the doctor also, who sent me to a specialist who thought I was imagining them because he couldn't see any legs. I didn't have very many then. I have had them under my nails, in my ears, in my nose (I see them when I blow my nose). I definately know they are in my car and I see them on my clothes. I can feel them crawl on my face and if a use a wet kleenex to wipe where I feel them I always see little black specks. I would appreciate any help because My home is very infested and I can't possibly vacuum, scrub, and launder anymore!!!! I have ordered KleenGreen and I will let you all know how it turns out.
