Thanks Gabriella and David,

Now, If 100% Concentration takes about 4 minutes, and a 50% concentration takes
about 15 minutes to kill the demodex, and I assume the relationship is linear
(and even assume this works) then it would take the 1% concentration roughly 290
hours or 12 days to kill the demodex! haha.

Has either of you come across any studies conducted on lower concentrations of
TTO?

Matt.

Hi Gabriella,

I published the list of chemicals that can kill demodex mites on this page

http://rosacea- support.org/ just-how- do-you-kill- demodex-mites. html

100% alcohol
50% tea tree oil
100% tea tree oil
100% carraway oil
100% dill weed oil

also ether, xylol, benzene. Ivermectin also does the job as well as permethrin.

This is just in the petri dish of course and many of the chemicals
would be unsuitable for topical or systemic use in humans.
