How to Kill Mites on the Hair Follicle With Parasite Zapper

People unwittingly host many parasites, including microscopic mites that live in hair follicles. These wormlike, stubby-legged creatures prefer people with oily skin, or those who fail to thoroughly wash off cosmetics. These mites usually are not harmful. But if the population surges, they can cause acne, thinning hair, and unpleasant skin conditions. According to Dr. Frank Flowers, a dermatology professor at the University of Florida's Health Science Center, metronidazole cream is the most effective treatment. But a parasite zapper invented by Dr. Hulda Clark is a popular, if controversial, alternative treatment. This electrical device sends a current throughout the body, which allegedly kills many types of parasites.

Instructions

Prepare for Zapping

• 1

  Pour a teaspoon of sea salt into one cup of clean warm water. Soak your sponge or paper towels in the salt water.

• 2

  Wrap sponge or paper towels around the copper tubes of your zapper. This saline solution allows for more zapping of parasites by reducing resistance on the skin surface.

• 3

  Power up your zapper. Make sure the batteries are good.

• 4

  Hold onto the copper tubes, firmly grasping one in each hand. Continue for seven minutes.

• 5

  Turn off zapper and release the handles.

• 6

  Pause for 20 minutes, then repeat zapping twice more. Remember to rest for 20 minutes in between.
