I just realized that my husband and I had mulch brought in and I helped to put it out. I thought it started in the office. Something was biting 3 of us in Dayton. The room was steam cleaned last night and they said there is no biting today....I stayed home and went to the Dr because I thought I had lice or something in my head! My Dr. said my scalp was fine with the exception of bite marks! Today I washed my hair in Borax and Peroxide, Have used windex and Listerine directly on my body. Minimal relief. My husband doesnt believe me even though I do have these bite marks. Im wondering if the mulch or bumping into the bushes could have allowed a bird or mite to get on my body? Does anyone know of a Dr. that specializes in this? I have been absolutely miserable the past week and a half. I just realized that my husband and I had mulch brought in and I helped to put it out.

Did you happen to have topsoil or straw brought in for your landscaping? And, I wondered if your community was new construction? You mentioned that you were doing landscaping.

We have these small, itching bites on our arms. This sounds like the mites bites I heard about on Ron Wilson program. I have tried ice and Calagel for poison oak & ivy. Any other product one can think of please advise. My wife and I live in Ross Township and have been doing some landscaping at our home for the last 2 weeks.

If these mites only come with the 17 year cicadas, they probably haven't done much epidemiological studies on the consequences of the bites. If people were told to report bites and then keep in touch to update re. any unexpected health problems, we might actually add helpful information to the understanding of triggers for certain diseases. Just a thought. Patty Thomas I am wondering why the health dept. isn’t interested in keeping a data base of people who have been bitten.
