: : Hi there,
: : anybody delt with body lice before? I don't mean Head Lice or Public Lice but body lice, where the lice lives on your clothes. I think I may have that but after showering and changing into new clothes I still am getting rashes. I tend to get "bit" around 5pm and then 12midnight. The bite then translates to a big rashy patch, where the skin is swollen and red. I've gone to the dr and was told to use a permethrin lotion, where I leave it on for 12-14 hours and then rinse off. Please help if you have any idea how to treat this or diagnose this.

There is also a yahoo group called birdmiteorg, where you can post your questions and people will answer you. You have to join the yahoo group. There is also a forum called Topix Scabies Forum; and they are alot of help, too.

Oops, sorry, it's the yahoo group called birdmitesorg (not birdmiteorg).
