That is true as well. It's not a good idea. I just don't go in there anymore. I hate the critters. Christard and Lover of God |

(OP) User ID: 72403579 United States 08/11/2016 01:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't think you can get it from cats or dogs. I did ask the vet about that when it happened. He said that the animals don't pick up the human mite. It only comes from other humans. But, I seriously think that there might be some danger of acquiring these bugs from being in the Goodwill or a similar thrift store. My son was working there through the school district. He's special needs. That was an arrangement they had. He was the first one to come down with them and then, they spread to all of us. It was a truly horrible situation. I had never had lice or scabies or bed bugs or anything like that before. I hope to never have them again. They are awful. Christard and Lover of God |

During winter I put in in the dryer. Life is a spiritual war and no matter where we lay our head, we live in a warzone. There will be casualties. You do get to choose your side. I chose the Bright Side where my God fights for me. Others chose the Dark Side and fight for an entity that views them with disdain and discards them. |

User ID: 59490123 United States 08/11/2016 02:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I would assume, that by the time the clothing is "processed" from donation to rack ... any scabies would be dead - they only have a two week life span and they don't lay eggs in clothes ... that being said, why would you put anything on that you haven't washed first ... even from the store- they have dye residues and harsh chemicals on them to keep them "wrinkle free" during transportation tip: if you include a few drops of a menthol or highly aromatic oil (Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Lavender, Clove, etc) to the wash rinse cycle - that alone is enough to repel these little beasties ... put it in you own bath water - if you have any notion that you may be exposed to someone with these parasites - you become "repulsive" to insects of all sorts there are about seventy varieties of these "aphids" that move between plants and animals to lay their eggs ... some live in hair, eyelashes, eye brows (lice) in your crotch (crabs) on the surface, chiggers, (fleas are a different family) These "bugs" are so small that they can hide in skin pores and that is where they deposit their eggs, which takes your body two weeks of scratching and anti-body's attention to rid yourself of their presence - people with weakened immune systems suffer the most I know this, because I just researched it - because while mowing tall grass, I got infested with "itch mites" - chiggers - harvest itch to the old-timers ... and found the critters responsible, crawling on me ... identified them, on-line and got rid of them - and learned how to prevent getting them - without using chemicals - which I am now sharing with you ... so you don't have to deal with this problem that seems to be on the rise PS "bed bugs" are a whole different family - the aphids don't need blood, just warm moist environments - the fleas, mosquitoes and bed bugs, and flies need blood which makes them dangerous - but also easy to control, with DE (diatomaceous earth) and the good news is, you can PREVENT them from getting on YOU, with aromatic organic oils ... all delivered to your door my amazon LOL Last Edited by Sunny Daze on 08/11/2016 02:09 PM |
