    Use a Tea Tree body wash with a few extra drops of tea tree oil to lather up your skin.  Let sit for a few minutes, rise off.  If in your hair, use Thurday island foaming tea tree acne wash.  Massage into scalp and leave on overnight (it dries on the scalp)  you will have a LOT of relief.  Change bed clothes twice week.  In between washes spray down with a mix of make 750 mls using 50% water and 50% white vinegar,11 drops of tea tree oil, 11 drops of eucalyptus oil, 11 drops of lavender oil and ONE drop of deturgent, Shake well before use. Use a fine misting spray container.  Leave bed open to the air.  Use on pillow thoroughly misting the whole pillow case.  Be patient and do it every day for about 2 months then as necessary
    The mixture can be used on carpets etc to kill the D  bugs and also dust mites.  If you have a cat or a dog, just keep their bedding clean.  Do NOT use the misting formulae on them.
