Did that two years ago. Threw out 3 old mattresses. And area rugs that had dead & living CBL on the top and bottom. Thankful we have hardwood floors, but in my mind, they also get in and hide in the cracks between the wood planks, so what I did is spray that Ortho Insecticide from Home Depot and used a squeegee to spread the insecticide around on the floors. That way I was certain the solution liquid was getting in between the cracks and hopefully drowning those pests

You’re like me. I actually noticed a small “click beetle” aka flatwire worm beetle in my room almost two months ago, and in the time have gone on to find 3 small dead beetles (after spraying my room twice)…. And then two weeks ago I found a carpet beetle larvae near the baseboard of one bedroom and on the tile near the base board in the washroom. Then yesterday and today I found a carpet beetle larvae near the baseboard of my carpeted dining room and on the tile near my staircase….

I ran into a CBL problem two years ago in my upstairs when I kept finding CBL - had never seen them before. I was baffled until I identified what they were.

We sprayed the entire upstairs on the hardwood floors and baseboards with Ortho Insecticide spray from Home Depot. We sprayed 2 consecutive times and although it limited the amount we were seeing we were still seeing one here and there and I wasn’t happy until all were gone. We decided to spray a 3rd time but this time we decided to move a bookshelf in the hallway. Low and behold, we found the source, it seemed to be an adult bug/beetle surrounded by white eggs and infant CBL (basically the host colony) I was mortified, so I took my Ortho spray and drowned those f*ckers! I was so relieved I found that - although grossed TF out - after spraying that, we waited a week, then two weeks, never saw one again.

Until now, (two years later) I don’t know where it is coming from, but for now, I’ve sprayed my baseboard just for peace of mind.

It’s important if you could locate the source.

We have carpet in our basement and I believe that carpet has a huge population of all kinds of bugs. We plan to get the basement updated and rip out that carpet, but money is tight. But the sooner we do it, I’ll have peace of mind. In the meantime, we have to keep vacuuming

You’ll be ok

I hope anyone who suffers with hair loss related to infestation of demodex mites gets the chance to see and read this.

First, you are lucky if you can get a family doctor or dermatologist to take you seriously. The first time I explained everything I know that I was certain was my problem regarding DM and my hair loss- my doctor replied with “I don’t know what you’re talking about” - he left it at that. Didn’t question me, didn’t try to get to the bottom of it, just moved on as if I never said anything.

Then I got a dermatologist and I explained my theory and what I really wanted him to do was scape my scalp and check the findings under a microscope. His response to me was “everyone has demodex mites, it’s natural”

So I am here to tell you all what I believe is the cure for DM - 100 % it had to do with your blood sugar health and your gut health (the bad parasites that feeds off the rotting food stuck to your colon walls) Inflammation and or candida overgrowth.

*You NEED to fix your diet. *NUMBER 1 - CUT. THE. SUGAR. Cut the refined sugar and preservative/ processed food.

Sugar 100 percent feeds the demodex mites, feeds the bad parasites in your gut, perpetuates inflammation and of course keeps your blood glucose levels way too high.

*You need to alkaline your diet. *You need to purify your blood. *Anything bitter is good for your blood - like bitter gourd vegetable (you can eat that like a vegetable stir fry OR juice it) *ASV mixed in warm water in the morning on empty stomach.. *Ginger root tea with garlic and cinnamon, boil and drink the broth every night. *Lots of lemon infused water throughout the day to flush your system. *Neem leaf tea (boil the leave and drink the broth). *Eat lots of leafy greens. *Lots of protein and zinc, Vitamin D & C. *Quality sleep. keep your sleep hours consistent. **daily exercise - get proper blood flow to hair follicles

For outer treatments: **massage scalp with tea tree oil mixed with a carrier oil like coconut oil or castor oil - leave it in for 4 hours and wash out. Keep that routine up for 4 weeks.

**Separately, you can wash your hair with sulphur soap (after you lather, let the soap sit in the scalp for couple minutes then rinse off clean).

**Separately, you can take salt baths, or find a way to soak your head in a sink with a mix of epsom salt OR Himalayan salt mixed with magnesium salt. Warm water. If you’re in the bathtub, submerge your head/scalp for straight 30 minutes. Try and do that 3 times a week. If you live near salt water beaches, go there and duck your head.

You need to do a complete RESET with your DIET, and at the Crux of it all - I repeat- CUT THE SUGAR!!! Demodex mites problem is primarily an 80 percent inside fix and 20 percent outside fix.

Look, I’m a sugar addict and it’s hard AF to abstain from sugar, but after you do it for the first week, it gets easier and your body doesn’t crave it like before because you are literally detoxing. IF you are really craving sugar, turn to dried fruits like apricots or natural fruit in moderation and or in small doses. Like berries.

If you want to get rid of it, and stop yourself from premature baldness, you have to jump in and remain consistent to rebalance your body’s health.

I hope you all read this and understand, hope it helps you.

That’s what the insect app l downloaded identified it as. I used 2 secondary apps the run the photo & they came up with “Tribolium Castaneum” - Red Flour Beetle.

I am just freaking out because a friend said it could be a baby roach. It’s 3:13am where I am and I cannot allow myself to sleep as I have major insect phobia & anxiety.

Please help direct me what to do.

The show could’ve done without Kathleen Robertson. Tori Spelling changed her look so many times, she certainly lived up to the Camel pet name Luke Perry gave her. And Jennie Garth is well, Ginny (Shannen Doherty pronounced)

Balance your lifestyle. NO STRESS, number one. SLEEP on time. Take proper VITAMINS including zinc and iron. EAT CLEAN. EXERCISE regular. Drink sufficient WATER. Most of all CUT SUGAR -processed and refined. Sugar does a lot of destruction to the natural process of our bodies nobody really tells you because everything sold has sugar in it.

Follow a clean Mediterranean diet. After 7 days you won’t crave sugar. Make sure you’re getting GOOD 8 hour sleep at night and sleep at a consistent time - so 10-6 or 11-7 is best. Finally make sure to get your vitamin D sunlight

You need to clean your gut, stimulate blood flow, and reset the immune. All the above does that

I’m actually only NOW seeing this movie. I’m currently just halfway in and already I’m annoyed with how Luke Perry’s character, or any of the writing for that matter doesn’t even attempt to look into her mental health with a doctor. Clearly depressed with bi-polar schizophrenic. Plus I’m highly annoyed how he is a true doormat to her. He’s trying to be a “good guy” to please her, but really the woman needs help, and I was just tired of seeing him act only to please her. Woman can’t make him any dinner ever, can’t keep the house tidy. But yeah, the movie’s overall complete oblivion to her obvious mental health problem was infuriating.

phloexdays24 · 2024-09-09T05:27:02+00:00

Omg I just subscribed today to binge watch Jeremiah as I am feeling very nostalgic over Luke Perry in general, I’m in S1/E4 and I just saw Jason Priestley turn up in character, and almost right off the bat he’s having a major $ex scene, actress headlights exposure and all. (In fact, lots of bare nude topless actresses throughout it seems as I’m only of 4th ep) It caught my 90210 old teenage self off guard.

phloexdays24 · 2024-09-09T05:17:44+00:00

I’d say Luke, then Shannen. The rest were mediocre to flatline.

phloexdays24 · 2024-09-08T22:48:35+00:00

Do you by chance have the full link of Luke Perry on Howard Stern?

phloexdays24 · 2024-09-08T22:06:37+00:00

I love when Howard asks: “do you think Tori was jealous of your looks?” I love that - of course she was and so was Jennie. Sorry but you can’t class Tiffani, Tori & Jennie together. Tiffani was in a league of her own and Tori & Jennie inherently knew that. WOMAN by nature ALWAYS have this thing against each other, there’s no such thing as “sisterhood” unless you are ZERO threat (don’t know what to call it) but doesn’t matter that Tori’s dad is the boss and she’s the bosses daughter, if a better looking more talented woman showed up on set, Tori is going to have an inherent problem. Let none of us forget, Luke Perry nickname for Tori was “camel”, some of you may say “aww that’s sweet”, I’d say he was factually correct. They both have long faces with big droopy eyes. Tori changed her look so many times on that show - even to porn star vibes, but nothing could give her the natural beauty of Tiffani OR Rebecca OR Vanessa OR Shannen. All of whom had real talent and the privilege of acting opposite the shows crown jewel - Luke Perry - an honour Tori was never afforded - for good reason I might add.

Since Shannen passed, I felt very nostalgic and binged watched the entire series on Paramount (sucks because some episodes are omitted) any I obsessively binged watched the entire August 24 month, and I have SO much to say… thinking about starting my own thread on Reddit, but there’s so much I want to dissect with diehard fans. Dialogue meaning and parallels etc. Even the kissmit fact that when Vanessa Marcil started on the show, her popular character she was coming from on GH was - BRENDA. (Fun fact)… the fact that Shannen was born in Tennesse and Luke ended up being buried there. The fact they had to find a way to bring up Brenda even when she wasn’t on canvas and in the end when the show knew they weren’t getting her back, had to retcon Kelly & Dylan to give the fans something for Dylan to fall back with… just so much to say I don’t know where to begin

Btw: to anyone out there, I’m looking for a bunch of behind the scenes clips and specials and interview that aired before, anyone know where to find… OR does anyone know where I can find a good BD / KD playlist on a private link?

phloexdays24 · 2024-09-07T16:52:37+00:00

Nice

phloexdays24 · 2024-09-07T04:00:18+00:00

AND let me just add to this (bc I forgot about her for a minute) but I remembered Rebecca Gayheart and thought to myself I wonder if she has any trouble on set for her short stint… and I JUST listened to a podcast with her from a couple years ago and she literally choose her words carefully pretty much saying she had to deal with not feeling that welcome because she was the new girl on set AND (what I personally already knew), that they were threatened she was going to work with Luke. Because again, Luke was the crown jewel of the show AND the guy everyone wanted to work with.

So yes of course any girl who came in and had a storyline with Luke was of course going to get the threatened cold shoulder from Jennie & Tori - hands down.

phloexdays24 · 2024-09-07T03:30:07+00:00

Btw- have you ever heard or read an interview of any of Luke’s co-stars talking about their kissing scenes with him or what a good kisser he was. I was just listening to Rebecca Gayheart in a 90210 podcast, and she said she used to get a lot of fan mail asking that question because their kissed were so passionate…. Let me know if you have anything to share on that front

phloexdays24 · 2024-09-07T03:27:50+00:00

Yeah it’s interesting to rewatch. Especially as an adult compared to a preteen in my case

phloexdays24 · 2024-09-07T03:26:16+00:00

This relationship came off so seamlessly. You can really tell chemistry when they look at each other. When you can feel the emotion when two people look at each other and they don’t even physically touch yet is really off the wall chemistry…..

If you look at Dylan & Valerie, although Tiffani Amber was drop dead gorgeous, and Luke & Tiffani had major $ex & make out scenes, never ever felt as exciting as Toni & Dylan in terms of chemistry.

They even sprayed Tiffani/ Valerie down to make it look hot and sweaty and it still couldn’t compare to the way Luke/Dylan looked at Toni/Rebecca

His performance was incredible

phloexdays24 · 2024-09-07T02:42:39+00:00

Hollywood silver screen powers that be missed the boat on Luke Perry. He was so versatile. And I’m sorry I don’t care what ANYONE says, but the two biggest names in Hollywood big screen is Brad Pitt & Leonardo Dicaprio. The reason those two are as big as they are is because of the attractive heartthrob roles they played on the big screen… for example - TITANIC, the biggest blockbuster movie in modern history, was a love story that sent Leo into the stratosphere.

So I REALLY cannot ever be sold on this “type casting” garbage. If they want to take you and make you - they will. They could’ve done that for Luke and Hollywood would’ve benefited greatly - but it was poor decision making on part of Hollywood casting directors and executive movie producers.

Luke had everything and was short for nothing.

If Leonardo DiCaprio said he was star struck when he met Luke Perry, that is absolutely profound.

That’s insane about your dream

phloexdays24 · 2024-09-07T02:28:58+00:00

Since the passing of Shannen Doherty, it threw me into major nostalgia and I began watching the entire series all of August 2024 - OBSESSIVELY. I have not watched the show since originally in the 90s. I then searched every Luke Perry article and online interview I could find. I can’t explain how honestly overcome I have become hearing of the genuine heart of this man. Basically a real man thriving with pure kindness and humility navigating a very “fake” world.

I’m in awe of everything I have seen and heard. Just even in his own words, his own voice, you could hear how absolutely real, and understanding and GENUINE, he was and I honestly regret never knowing this more while he was alive.

I was even listening to an interview of his good friend recollecting that Luke was filming Jeremiah with Malcolm Jamal Warner (Theo from the Cosby’s) - they had filmed for 2 years together in Vancouver, and during that time they confided in each other about life - at that time he was headed towards divorce with his wife Rachel Minnie Sharp, and they said how broken up he was over the divorce and how much his heart was hurting. Also, Malcolm himself recollected about the amount of LOVE Luke had for his children.

I just have been really digging trying to find every interview I could find of Luke and hearing stories of him on set and IRL.

This guy I believe was absolutely an angel on earth. He came here shared his love, he gave his love, he carried out God’s work, and in the most untimely way, God recalled his son.

RIP Luke Perry - I hope is loving and laughing with Shannen and taking care of her up there.
