Eyelid mites, know as Demodex, are believed to inhabit the eyelids and lashes of over 40% of the people in the United States. Theses mites, which live around two weeks and like to come out to eat and breed while we sleep, can cause ocular symptoms that are often mis-diagnosed as dry eye or ocular allergy. Demodex mites like to feed on the oily secretions of our hair follicles and oil glands, making the eyelids an ideal environment. They mites will burrow into the eyelash follicles and the meibomian glands that produce the oily layer of our tear film. For many people, there are no symptoms and the body’s natural defenses keep the mites in check. For others the infestation can lead to itching and burning eyes, redness and irritation, blurred vision and eyelid inflammation. It’s surprisingly easy to contract a demodex infection, which may explain why so many people have them crawling along their lids and lashes. Direct contact with infected skin is one means of contracting the mite, but some have been found to travel on dust, making it hard to avoid. There is also theories that pets may act as transmitters between hosts. Demodex infections can be easily diagnosed during an eye exam with a slit-lamp biomicroscope. The slit-lamps used in the exam rooms aren't powerful enough to view the mites directly, but an infection will show a very specific cylindrical dandruff pattern on the base of the lashes that is diagnostic for demodex mites. Demodex is also well documented to cause skin conditions, especially on the face including acne, rosacea and dermatitis. Eliminating the mites can prove tricky because they are not susceptible to many sterilization techniques. They also avoid daylight so they stay hidden within hair follicles and glands during the day and wait to emerge as we sleep to reproduce. Luckily, tea tree oil has proven effective at removing the infestation. It should be noted that tea tree oil is toxic to humans as well as the mites so it is not recommended to apply standard tea tree oil to the face and especially the eyes. Kirkwood Eye Associates offers tea tree foams that have been specially formulated for ocular use and can be used as complete face wash to clear signs of rosacea and acne as well. The foams are to be used twice daily and most importantly just before bed when the mites are known to come out. Kirkwood Eye Associates also recommends an initial in office treatment with concentrated tea tree and cleansing to achieve maximum results. If you experience irritation in or around the eyes, there is a good chance that the demodex mite is to blame. Call 314-394-3045 and set up an appointment today for an evaluation and treatment plan.

THIS IS REAL. I REPEAT, THIS IS REAL. The black mirror is real, the black mirror is really powerful, effective and 100% reliable. My name is Walter Brian, I want to thank Dada Magical for giving his black mirror to me. Since he gave me his black mirror, I became rich, successful, protected, informed and powerful. I was browsing through the internet one day when I saw multiple testimonies on how Dada Magical has helped so many people with his black mirror. I thought it was a joke at first but I gave it a try and contacted him. He sold the black mirror to me and told me how to use it and all that I need to do. I followed the instructions just as he told me and to my greatest surprise, it worked just as he told me. The black mirror is still working for me. The mirror also brings good luck, blessings and information. Contact Dada Magical now on his email; [email protected] and he will help you also with the black mirror just the same way he helped me. Thank you Great Dada Magical.

I got a lot of gifts for my girlfriend on valentines day and we were supposed to spend the night with each other but she gave some sort of excuses which i considered her. Called her that night to know if she was ok but her phone was switched off which was not normal so I called her sister just know if my girlfriend was ok but her sister told me that she said she was going to spend the night at my place, I got more suspicious because she told me she would be at her place helping out, but I figured she lied to me. I had to make some research on how to hack her phone remotely and [email protected] popped up as the best for the job so I emailed [email protected] and also gave necessary informations to get her phone hacked. In less than 2 hours I got into her phone remotely even while her phone was off, I went through her WhatsApp and iMessages, I saw she was currently with her ex boyfriend. I felt heartbroken because I did everything to make her happy on valentines day and she ended up sleeping with her ex that night. I just want to say thank you to [email protected] because services like this helps to know your place in your partners heart.

Is CBEX a scam? That was going through my mind for weeks when I mistakenly registered in a fake crypto exchange platform CBEX.sx pretending to be the original CBEX, I had already deposited more than a million dollars into my trading account when I realized it was the wrong website. I contacted the original website support but they couldn’t help me. I was deeply disturbed and devastated by this incident. It turned out they had cloned the website of CBEX, unfortunately this means my money is gone. I was scrolling the internet looking for ways to recover lost crypto funds when I came across Morphohack Cyber Service, a crypto recovery company. Morphohack was able to detect that it was a cloned phishing site used to deceive victims and steal crypto funds. I was shocked when Morphohack Cyber told me my funds could be recovered with their sophisticated malware and tools. I provided every information required for the transaction and wallet, and that was how Morphohack was able to recover my crypto funds without any hiccups. I was stunned by how quickly it took, Morphohack is simply the best.

I was exploited by CanCap Crypto Exchange and was made to invest $112,000 worth of Canadian dollars into crypto trading by this company. They made it all look real and it was impossible to easily figure out the sham they were running. I was just like every other curious person and investor who decided to invest in cryptocurrency trading but I was exploited and lost my hard-earned money to this scam, if not for the intervention of Morphohack, a cyber security and crypto recovery expert who has been able to help top officials from the government recover their cryptocurrency successful, I would have not been able to recover my crypto assets. CanCap contacted me through a popular figure on Facebook who I later found out to be a sham too, and Morphohack made me realize many other victims like me invested in this platform, I’m bringing this to you here that it was a scam to steal crypto from people. Morphohack was able to recover my crypto successfully and has since been able to assist two of my partners in recovering their crypto from the CanCap crypto investment scam. If you wish to contact Morphohack, you can reach them via the info below: WhatsApp: +1 (213) 672 4092 Or [email protected]

Hello, it’s a lovely morning here. I am Vanessa Craig, and I am writing this article to inform everyone that just because we overlook certain information due to our lack of knowledge doesn’t mean it isn’t real. I am currently valued at more than £70 Million Pounds because I acknowledged this vital information. I had assistance from a man named Meduza I found online whose impressive testimonials about his spell work are legit and genuine. His lottery spell enabled me to win £65 Million Pounds in the lottery by providing me with the accurate winning numbers after he performed a lottery spell for me. I placed my full trust in him and followed his instructions without any hesitation and right now, I am proud to say that Meduza’s spiritual advice for winning the lottery is superb and outstanding. I am very grateful to him for his help. To know more, reach out to him at

In March of this year, my Bitcoin wallet was hacked after I unknowingly clicked on a phishing email. Within moments, I was locked out of my wallet, which held approx $287,000 worth of BTC. The experience left me feeling angry, helpless, and deeply frustrated.
