Red LED and demodex -- Just a thought   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #91178 of 105075 |
You know, after Tamara's recent succcess with the demodex slaying Z cream,
and others speaking of theirs with the red LED lamps, it would be an
interesting experiment to put some of the lil' buggers under red LED light
for awhile and see what happens to them... decrease in vitality or life
span, effects on reproduction, etc. etc.

If it did negatively impact them in someway, it would certainly be another
significant indicator for demodex as a root cause in rosacea.
Unfortunately, I do not as yet possess an LED array nor a microscope. Not
even a petri dish, lol. So someone else would have to conduct it.

Fry you little bastards, fry!!! ; D

Did a little more research. Unfortunately without more background knowledge it’s only speculation, but seems to be heading somewhere. There is a gram...
