This next September when we celebrate our 6th anniversary it will be two years since the advent of the mysterious mites. Arriving at a time when we were very happy, within a week, these bugs had caused all normal life as we knew it to stop. We endured 2 and a half months of [...]
Early on in our experience with the mysterious bugs we found out about Kleen-Free enzyme cleaner and ordered it. It didn’t solve our problem, (see this post to see what did), but it did provide a lot of relief by giving us a product we could spray on our skin to relieve the creepy-crawly [...]
A reader named Rita wrote me about the solution she and her husband found for getting rid of a biting bug problem. I am always so encouraged when I hear a success story, and especially when someone takes time to explain the path they took along the way before they succeeded.
Sometimes I find it [...]
After nearly three months of dealing with some sort of ‘invisible’ biting bug I’d like to take a moment to detail what we would do if we knew at the start what we know now. If you find this post and you have just started experiencing this problem, this is a ‘best practices’ snapshot [...]

He is a very good doctor, but just so busy that up until now my husband and I saw others in the same practice (my husband’s doctor is in the same practice) as well as The Dreadful though Forgiven Dermatologist [...]
An interesting way the Lord has helped me cope with the bugs is letting me delve into learning more about the science of parasites (see here and here).
I am motivated to learn about things I was not previously interested in. I can get so immersed in learning that I nearly forget that these things might [...]
Lord,
When I am tried,
Oh, let my faith,
Being much more precious
Than of gold that perisheth,
Though it be tried with fire,
Be found unto praise and honour and glory
at the appearing of Jesus Christ,
Whom having not seen,
I love;
in whom, though now I see Him not,
Yet believing,
I rejoice
with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
Receiving the end of my faith,
even [...]
