notdelusional,

Please cite your sources for you statements about springtails and other collembola. On the face of it, your information sounds like the hyperbolic marketing one gets from HSN and QVC.

If good nutrition and a cleansing routine have worked for you, that's good news.

There are people who have had this problem and may help in a Yahoo group MORGELLONS_PARASITES, if you are interested.

Catsmine: I'm no marketer, I'm someone who just went through 6 weeks of hell, only to discover I had a parasite that I contracted from cleaning mold. If I can help others discover they too have a parasite, then I'll be very happy since NO ONE helped my husband and I for the past six weeks, not traditional practitioners - doctors and other health professionals, NOT ONE PERSON.

Fact is, it wouldn't hurt anyone to eat raw garlic and other foods rich in alkaline to try to raise the PH in their system to normal levels. What would hurt them is to continue using chemicals that may be exacerbating the problem. Parasites eat toxins so if we cover ourselves with pesticides, Windex and other home remedies that I've read all over these boards, we're providing them an attractive habitat. I don't need to cite sources, that is common knowledge about parasites. There are many Americans in general whose bodies aren't all that balanced leaving us susceptible to contracting parasites and all sorts of disorders. Why do you think the whole probiotic industry is booming?

Anyway, I'm sure you mean well but I've seen your posts and when a person is going through this, the last thing they need is the kind of attitude I've seen from your posts.

Notdelusional, I'll refer you to my response in the other thread you are trying to hijack. I have left this thread open long enough. Another round of urban myth and quack remedies will not help anyone.

I only get bitten when I go to a certain part of our yard. We all get bitten there. My husband have a small garden on that side of the yard.
