Not bad here...

...but some poor folks east of here got some heavy flooding.

Calling William Jefferson Clinton!

He took away three basic food groups.

This doesn’t explain the ethnic component of the scourge of rosacea. It’s no coincidence the research was done at Ireland’s National University. The Irish, Scandinavians, and other northern Europeans seem to suffer while Greeks, Italians, and other Mediterraneans appear unscathed. What gives?

Maybe latitude and vitamin D? Maybe genetics? Maybe some combination of the two?

Thanks for the link, I think I will check them out too...

mites (shudders- scrubbing face with cloth.... eewwwwwww)

Excellent point. My Irish father had it, not my Mediterranean mother.

Isn’t it amazing...all these remedies that we might already be using for their *advertised* benefits.

I’ve recently learned a bit about the uses of vinegar...and I am very pleased.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

They cause Demodectic mange in dogs.

I will try this next week..thanks for the tip. Nothing else has worked, seems less expensive than other things i have tried. Would be great to pass on to my daughters if this works :).

Olive Oil in the diet. Olive leaf is an immune system builder.

[Daffynition]

I hope-hope it does work for you! Couldn’t be less expensive, especially if you are given prescription drugs.

As I mentioned upthread, my mom was so self-conscious about the condition, and tried everything her docs suggested...I wish I had known then...

LOL! [giggles] Very good!
