“All moan and groan but no cure.”

If you are infested with these buggers, you’ll itch like crazy starting about 4:00 in the evening throughout the night. They don’t stay on the face. Your body is their playground. When the itching starts that means they’re waking up and looking for romance. Fill your tub with the hottest water you can stand and mix in 2 cup of borax and 1 cup of 3% peroxide. Soak in this until the water cools. Use a scrubee on the places you can reach and have a kind friend scrub your back. Duck your head under water to soak your hair. Some people use a snorkle to keep their head under water. Don’t let the water out of the tub until you’ve put your glasses on and looked at what’s floating on the surface. You see that this method works really well. Dry off with a clean towel that you change every day. Rub in Permethrin Cream 5% that comes from India via ebay or maybe Amazon. Keep out of your eyes, but everywhere else...between toes, belly button, goodies. Leave on overnight and shower in the morning. Rotate with cedar oil. This is a DAILY routine. If you are severely infested, twice a day may be necessary to start. Ivermectin by mouth really helps. Some individuals use the horse paste topically.
Wear clean clothes daily. Use hot water in the laundry and add 1 cup borax or ammonia to water along with regular detergent. Wash pillow and dry in hottest dryer. Spray bedding and furniture with Sawyer Permethrin Spray (Walmart camping section...not just a spritz, but a good wetting. Let dry before using. Good luck to everyone suffering from these little @#$%&*.

After all the crap I did to keep Covid at bay (so-far-so-good), I honestly can’t tell if your post is BS or the truth! (The snorkel seems a bit over the top, so....)
