Hi! I am at the one year mark… hard to believe and w much trial and error! Bless you w testing the water temp of your washer! I never tested the temp but washed all clothes and dried all clothes on the hot cycle! I started last year with what I think ( no biopsies) was brevis all over my body and foliculorum on my chest, neck, eyes, ears, nose and scalp. Interestingly, my whole body symptoms disappeared w two rounds of oral ivermectin ( likely brevis?) but didn’t touch the folliculorum. I had actually started using TTO ( mixed w other oil and don’t know per cent) all over my body for a couple of weeks and then finally saw my dermatologist ( who I think thought I was crazy!) but ordered the Ivermectin. She mentioned to me at the time that Paul Mitchell had TTO shampoo that I might want to try. I started using the TTO products but then tried topical ivermectin and metronidazol for 8 weeks while cleaning my lashes w Avenova and using X-Demvy ( this was through summer and early fall). The symptoms were better but not gone. I realized then that the more realistic goal might be control vs eradication (I have no immunosuppression, BTW). As I read more and more literature… TTO seemed to be the only think known to kill the Demodex. So, I decided to add some additional TTO (100%) to my 10 oz bottles of Tea Tree Special shampoo and combo leave in hair condition/body lotion to increase the concentration of TTO in these products. To be somewhat scientific, I added 1 ml of 100% TTO to the above 10 oz products and have used those products daily and have been in the best control that I have ever been in over the past year. I do daily shower/shampoo w the shampoo….I leave on my face (eyes, ears, nose) and scalp for a couple of minutes. Then after shower, I apply the leave in condition/body lotion all over my body including Face, scalp, etc. I repeat this application once during the day and then before going to bed. My skin is dry for sure. And I find myself differentiating itching due to Demodex vs dry skin. My legs were so dry, I tried this week using regular lotion on my legs. I have tried facial lotion and make up a couple of times but have developed symptoms. I have gone all year without makeup… except for 3-4 special occasions. Each time I developed symptoms, so I am holding off on make up for now. Hope this is helpful. I have learned so much from this group. Hope others will weigh in with their experience. If I were to give advice, I would recommend trying the TTO products w added TTO for 2 months before investing in a lot of the expensive products. And oh, back to the washer and dryer…. I will likely always use the hot cycle going forward. And I have reduced washing my bedding to every 3-4 days( from daily). And I have gone back to regular washing of my clothing (from wearing everything only one day and then washing). I have included a photo of the Mitchell products ( John Paul Mitchell listed as distributors on back in fine print). I do not have a photo of the leave in Conditioner/ body wash but you can find it on Amazon and I got it at either CVS or Target.
