Showers Of White Scalp Flakes On Your Shoulders Or In Your Eyebrows? Do You Suffer From Intense Itching? Read On........
My sister started calling me and complaining about her arms itching so badly that she would scratch until her arms bled, and still the itching would persist. She also was starting to notice a shower of flakes on her shoulders everytime she scratched her head. Her itching was rapidly becoming so bad that it was waking her up at night. She kept a stiff brush on her bedside table so she could scratch her arms with out causing the damge she was experiencing by scratching with her fingernails.
Because I am a nutrition product formulator, my sister wondered if I had any idea what would cause such intense itching. I had no clue why she was experiencing such discomfort, so I began the research process. It was not easy to drill down on the cause of this intense itching, but I came across some bits and pieces of info that led me to other bits and pieces. Turns out that the veterinarian sites had information about a parasitic skin mite with the odd name, demodex, that sounded as if it could be the cause of my sister's itching.
After discovering that demodex skin mites were the likely cause of the intense itching and showers of scalp flakes, I looked for raw material(s) that could comprise a solution for her. I found something called seabuckthorn oil that was very interesting in its use in anti-mite products. The next step was to create some preparations for her that would give her relief, and possibly get rid of the problem. The results were so good that my sister got immediate relief for the itching and was finally able to get some sleep.
I told a few friends and associates about this odd itching, and that people who have this mite seem to also exhibit white flakes in their eyebrows and a rosacea-like redness on the face. I got an unexpected response from folks who confided that they were exhibiting the itching and flakiness that my sister had.
It turns out that many people have millions of mites living in their hair and on their skin. These microscopic mites may be linked to intense itching, showers of flakes falling on the shoulders, white flakes in the eyebrows, thinning hair, acne, rosacea, and other skin conditions.
One sign of mite presence is the creation of port wine discolored areas of skin that appear after scratching in response to intense itching. Demodex mites are responsible for a lot of discomfort, but some physicians are not familiar with this mite. Veterinarians and Ophthamologists, however, are usually well aware of the mite.
The mites feed continuously inside the hair follicle. They are microscopic, transparent like glass, and are most active at night which causes intense itching. Itching can be intense during daylight hours if the mite infestation is particularly severe. Three to five days are required for egg laying and hatching, followed by seven days for the larvae to develop into adults. Their total life span is approximately two to three weeks. They are transferred from host to host by contact, particularly in hair, eyebrows, and tiny sebaceous glands on the nose.
So, what do you do if these mites are making you miserable? My company is making a small line of products that focuses specifically on demodex mite abatement using seabuckthorn oil. Seabuckthorn oil is a bright orange color. A product that contains sufficient amounts of the oil will be orange to bright gold in color. The oil is very expensive, averaging up to $200.00 per pint.
Since making the products available to the public, I have never had even one product return in four years. Satisfaction is guaranteed. Visit the link below to read more about the products.

Thanks!
Sorry, if you are over 10, you probably have had them, and still do. Here is some info from two sites with excerpts from each:
"Apparently Demodex can arrive in adolescence, and by late to middle age almost all people harbor the Demodex mite to some degree.
Researchers say that in people up to 20 years of age, the incidence was about 25%; in people up to 50 years of age, the incidence was 30%; in people up to 80 years of age, the incidence was 50%; and in those aged 90 or older, everyone has it."
And from another site:
"A surprising fact is that an estimated 96-98% of all people carry such mites - with up to 25 in each follicle, each person can have a potentially huge population of mites. In the vast majority of cases, the mites go unobserved, without any adverse symptoms, but in certain cases (usually related to a suppressed immune system, caused by stress or illness) mite populations can dramatically increase, resulting in a condition known as demodicosis, characterised by itching, inflammation and other skin disorders."
"...A related species of demodex mite, (Demodex canis), lives on the domestic dog. While, like with humans, most dogs live with their mites without harm, a minority do not have immune systems capable of completely controlling the mites, leading to a potentially dangerous infestation called demodectic mange."
Yuck. Thankfully I've never had them.
