      use Davis Sulfur benz shampoo to open your pores then pour lime sulfur dip over your body.  spray thyme oil over clothes, sheets, pillows, towels etc and use kleen free preformed enzyme cleaner to wash clothes.

        Apple Cider Vinegar works great!  It is by far the best treatment I have found for my hair and body! When I'm in the shower I have ACV in a spray bottle and I soak my hair and spray my entire body. Wait for 10 minutes, rinse.  It kills all forms of the mite including the eggs.  I did that twice a day for 5 days, once a day for 10 days, then every other day for only 5 minutes.  It is very drying so I use Moo Goo MSM cream on my face and body.  I have long hair so after I rinse I turn my head upside down and put conditioner only on the hair, not the scalp--rinse it.  I've easily spent a thousand dollars and the cure was quite simple. Also, I bought a 32oz bottle of permethrin and I put 1oz in each load of laundry so I didn't reinfect myself.  Cedarwood oil is awesome sprayed on my mattress and around my bed,  it kills the little bastards and the house smells great! Also, vacuum everyday. Also, I am taking neem capsules, MSM capsules, and NAC as a little insurance. I rarely feel a bug and I am immunosuppressed and taking steroids. Hope this helps someone! Peace!

    • I tried everything that's suggested for these parasites, and not much works

      I tried everything that's suggested for these parasites, and not much works 100%. However, I found that by washing my hair and combing it through with the shampoo on, and vigorously rubbing and cleaning my hair and scalp for 5 minutes non-stop, rinsing and then repeating, and keeping the washing, rubbing, and whatever else we do when cleaning our hair going for another 5 minutes, then combing through and rinsing, and then using a good hair conditioner and again really rubbing it into the hair and scalp without stopping, and then leaving the conditioner on while I deal with the body demodex I have all over me—washing with soap and water and again making sure I clean each area without stopping for a few minutes, stopping occasionally to rub the conditioner into my hair and scalp—it does seem to drown them. At least that's what seems to happen. I use something called Dimethicone on my skin that makes them come out, but you can only use it a couple of times a week. However, if you give yourself good treatment from the start and keep it up as much as you are able to, it will help you a lot. You can only leave the benzyl benzoate on for so long. Also, the hairdryer, if you can use it on the skin and hold it there for a few moments, helps dry it up, too. Homeopathy pellets with sulfur are excellent for skin mites and such. I think you'll find it's a combination of things that help you get rid of them for good. Good luck.

      I'm so glad I've seen your comment about them in your mouth and as a result your teeth falling out I'm having the same problem but when I Google to see if it could be the months making my teeth bad I have found nothing nothing no website has said that they even have said that they don't get in your mouth and something's causing mine to go bad and I've always had good teeth all my life they are getting bad quick their nail in my front for top teeth and I have no insurance to go to the dentist and I need to figure out something to get these out of my mouth so when I seen your comment I was glad finally someone is saying it is the mites.. if anyone knows anything I could use to kill these in my mouth I would be much appreciative of any advice I can get willing to try anything at this point...¯⁠\⁠_⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠_⁠/⁠¯

    • I have the exact same symptoms from these mites and I believe that they showed up on a lung extant as emphysema because I now have trouble breathing

      I have the exact same symptoms and they are in my lungs. I would love to know what you did to get rid the mites  or under control. You're right, they can be seen. The ones on me grow to be the size if a pin head and larger. My face looks like I've aged 25 years from the irritation and deed cleaning of my skin. They are on my back as well. Thank you and happy healing.
