Arthropod or mites infections are rarely talked about, (except for Lyme from ticks; Malaria/West Nile from mosquitos; or bed bugs). Internal mite infections can be a part of the parasitic problem that has been unrecognized. They show up in sputum, feces, urine and can infect organs; as usual, better test recognition is necessary.
As promised to Smuse (and a few others), I've been collecting information for posting on parasitic mites that have been infecting people. Internal mites can be acquired from zoonosis (birds, mice, dogs, cats, and other animals), food infestation, plants, and environment.
In starting off this Series below is general information and then I'll present various findings as the posts progress.
It still baffles me....how are we alive at all? So many things that want to kill us....
The human body is definately a miracle.
What a multitude of diseases carried by these mites.
But of coarse I still had to find some mite, that is rare...the dairy culture mite...I suspect I got it from aged cheeses that sit in store deli cases, that the average person doesnt buy, because of the price, so they just sit there, but again I have to think about the fact, that even just aging there, the mites had to come from some where, there was a saource to bring them to the store deli shelves, I havent touched the stuff since....
One thing I can say, is the dairy mites cause the cheeses to break down, look like they have cheese dust, and that is what it is, the mites eat and tear it up and it drops all around the cheeses, makes the edges of the cheese like powder. I checked it with my scope and there they were.
Now I am not saying that all powders around cheeses are mites, but I found my likely source, aged cheeses.
I also have found their eggs in various dairy products, so sad...dairy was my favorite sin! Not anymore.
The human body is amazing as we've had to deal with these infections.
Smuse that is excellent information about the cheese! I love cheese.... what a drag! What you've said does makes sense because bacteria is very important to mites and they carry a lot of bacteria within them.
