  Well my worst fear someone in the house has mites. I believe these are transferrable to rabbits too. I don’t have them that I know of but I am going to the Dr. just in case i contracted them and don’t itch yet. Hubby has them.
  
  How do I keep bmy buns from betting them? I don’t have carpet but they may be on the couch and bed from the crazy itching person. All that itching and he can’t sleep. His Dr. isn’t in til Friday.

  i don’t know anything about mites except that they require treatment in buns. i believe one of the flea meds is affective on mites, but it will require a vet’s direction. i don’t know if there are different kinds that affect humans and animals together…
  
  i’m sure someone with experience with this will be along soon!
  
  keep us posted…

  The only things I know that are safe for rabbits for mites are Revolution and Ivermectin and both require a prescription from a vet.

  What a relief. The person the visitor has a bad rash from a detergent. The person went to the Dr. Phew. That was a close call.
  
  My 3 big fears are pink eye mites and lice.
  
  I had pink eye as a child and rubbed my eyes so bad I was nearly blind. It was bad. Light hurt my eyes I had to have dark sunglasses. So because of that horrible experience I fear pink eye. When my eyes get itchy I get panicky. Then find out it is allergies. Same with mites. Don’t remember having head lice tho. Maybe I did. well at least I dont’ remember it if did.
