Mange Mites
Mange mites can infect humans. Mange mites are specific to dogs, but can live off other mammals' blood for three weeks. When the environment is infested with mange mites, a person can be continuously attacked by new mites. The ensuing sores and itchiness can go on indefinitely. Many Doctors think that mange mites can't infect or affect humans. They will diagnose mange mite sores as exema and blame it on "scratching", mental problems, stress or dust mites. Mange mite "allergy" means that some people in the family are invaded by mites more than others. Mites prefer young light- skinned females as new prey. The "bites" at first will often be concentrated in one area of the body, often the legs. Then overtime, the mites will migrate to other parts of the body and the sores will spread. Mange mites are barely visible, walk like crabs, and are actually spiders(Arachnids).
They are most active when the sun goes down. During the hours of dusk, through the night, and during the hours of dawn, until the sun comes out. Mange mites bore under the skin and lay eggs, and when the babies crawl out, they go to a tender place on the skin to make a new tunnel or they go to a another bore hole that hasn't healed over, and lay their eggs in it. Some sores will heal, but new ones will open up because new mites come in from the yard (they fit through the screen mesh) and crawl on everybody at night. Even people who don't get bites will be experiencing a disturbed sleep that may not actually wake them. People with extremely itchy open sores will certainly be sleep deprived. Chronic sleep deprivation can cause schizophrenia, attention deficit problems, learning disabilities, aggression, depression, lethargy, etc.
Mange mites also cause flu-like symptoms, staph, and the over-activation of the immune and nervous systems. Some Doctors think that the stress you are feeling is the cause of the disease. Actually, it is very healthy and natural to feel very concerned and "stressed" if you have spiders living on and under your skin. The cure for mange mite disease and infestation is all about cleaning up the environment. The source of the affliction is dogs. All animals including dogs, must be kept outside. Build a shed with a heater in it if you must, but don't ever let the dog or any other animal inside your house or car. Remove everything out from under the house. Hose and rake the dirt under there and enclose it with lattice or wood slats so that animals can't get under there. In the yard, cut the grass short and water it.
Remove foliage near the house. Mites like dark areas, dry dirt, dust, brush, shade, and junk piles they can hide under. Cars need to be stripped of rugging and treated with insecticide. Mange mites can live for weeks without eating. They can live temporarily on the blood of cats, rats, mice, mongoose, livestock, humans, etc. Remove animal habitats from the yard. The inside of the house should be like a hospital. Seal the building with door thresholds, put 1/4 wire mesh over the screens if necessary, caulking, etc. so that rats and mice can't get inside. Remove all the rugs, box springs, upholstered or stuffed furniture, and bedding that is too big to fit in the washing machine. Use layered bedding and wash weekly. Use futons or mattresses that are up off the floor on slat platforms for beds and couches, so you can mop underneath. Put the futons and mattresses in the sun from the time to time, and buy new ones when they get old. Mop the floors often. Open the curtains during the day to get light into the rooms. Remove all clutter and dust.
When the environment is mite-free, the healing of all the sores will take only three to six weeks. You will be completely healed, with only whitish scars to show from your ordeal. Health is our greatest wealth. If a child is suffering from mite bites it is very important to make the health and well-being of the child a much greater priority than the sentimental feelings you may have for an animal. Get rid of the animals or at least keep them out of the house and car. A fenced yard with a dog house may be necessary. A vet can provide a series of treatments for your dog that include complete submersion in mange medicine. If your yard is not cleaned and maintained as described as above, do not let your child go into the yard. the mites hide in tall grass and underbrush, and will jump on to your child's feet and legs, especially at dawn, dusk, night, and on dark cloudy days.
Scratching does not cause mite bites. When pigs get invaded by mange mites, the farmer scrapes off the top layer of skin to relieve the pigs. So please don't get angry at a child for scratching an itch. Correct the situation and the child will not feel itchy and will have no reason to scratch. The health and social repercussions from having open sores and sleep deprivation can be very severe and damaging. Use your knowledge and intelligence to over-ride your emotions about animals, so you can make the decisions that are best for your child's health and happiness. Animals are way less evolved than humans and should never be held in higher regard. Global warming is making pestilence more prevalent. Please share this information about mange mites.
