Hello all...
It's been a while since I have posted, but thought you would be interested in this !
Last weekend was the worst so far ! :-(
I had TERRIBLE itching for two days straight - no sleep at all and I pulled HUNDREDS of thin white fibers out of my eyebrows, eyelashes, and nose. It was becoming unbearable!
I desperately looked around for some kind of a natural "cure" and came across the salt and vitamin C deal.
Well, after only ONE dose, the itching began to subside. After 12 hours I was able to sleep! :-) !
I am now on the second day and feeling much better having just woke up after about 6 hours of sleep :-) !
Anyway, what I am doing is taking 3 grams (about 1/2 a teasthingy) of sea salt in a glass of water along with 3000 mg of vitamin C.
Repeat every 6 hours for a total of 12 grams (18 max) of salt and 12000 mg of vitamin C. They say it depends on weight, but my 150 pounds is liking this dose.
The other reason I was becoming panicked is I developed two small lesions on my left palm. I managed to dig them off with a razor blade and the next day I had a larger one on my right palm. This one is still inflamed and sore and has tiny spikes around the edges. The next day there were NINE more in a circle near my thumb. They are all only about the size of a pencil eraser (or smaller) and haven't produced any fibers yet.
I HOPE this treatment will clear them up. I will also treat them with peroxide and cut out all sweets and breads with yeast for a while to help starve off the critters.
Any questions, feel free to ask, and I will try and post any updates.
