Oh so gross!

Did the monthly check on the hens today and found a few mites - yes, revolting but at least they were found and to be dealt with. Did the dusting of the powder - much to the hens annoyance and they wouldn't go near me for ages after.
BUT I went in straight away as I was feeling dirty (not in a good way!) to change and then had itching in my hair - I found 2 mites!!!! Somehow the buggers had got from the hens to me! I was really careful and stripped almost naked outside the back door (sorry Jo and Hazel my neighbours) and was careful not to touch my tshirt when it went over my head. But they were in my hair when I got upstair for a shower...
Gross, just thought I'd share

Yep, has happened to me too. Mine had lice, so was dusting them to kill the little buggers. Got home and felt an itching in the chest region, and found one down in my bra.
Was straight in the bath much to OH's horror/amusement mixture.

My OH was more horror than amusement!

Checked the chook hut and it seems ok. The thought of it makes you want to scratch though and I seem to be washing my hair more often!

Scrit........ scratch!!!!!

LOL I'm scratching away too and I haven't even got my chooks yet!
