The itching sensation woke me up around 1am and I was so distracted by it I decided to do some more research regarding demodex mites. In particular, their lifespan and how to eradicate them.
The word pyrethrin stood out to me and I remembered seeing something like this in our medicine cupboard. It was a bottle of head lice shampoo called Pyrenel Foam contained Pyrethrin and Piperonyl Butoxide.
At 7.30am, I was in the shower and used the Pryenel Foam as an insecticide. It foamed beautifully in my hair and I used the lather to coat my entire body in foam. I was careful to avoid my eyes but I applied it to the lower half of my face. I stood in the shower (with the water turned off) and waited for 10 minutes before rinsing it off.
Perhaps it was overkill, but I then followed my morning routine of washing, blotting with paper towel, applying ointment and dabbing the pure TTO as needed.
Over the course of the day, I could feel a couple of new bumps forming low down on my right jawline and dotted the pure TTO during the course of the day.
For several hours I didn't experience any itching on my scalp or body but as the night fell, I started to feel like things were moving on my skin. I will do the full body and hair treatment again in a few days time.
