Yeah, I guess I worded that a little incorrectly. There are a few others I've slept with, but only two semi-regular guys, epsecially in the time period it would have taken for this infection to take place. I already know exactly who now anyway, so doesn't matter. As I've said before, for pay guys seem to be few and far between here, or at least those who own a smart phone / tablet are. Everyone is looking for an actual BF, and I haven't bothered leaving my shell enough to go on actual dates.Originally Posted by christianpfc
No thanks. Just go under the assumption I may have a personal issue or two that I don't disclose publicly, and I believe you to be highly judgemental. Why meet / host someone, when more than likely, they're just going to put you under a microscope the entire time? That's awkward, not fun.Originally Posted by christianpfc
Don't know what to tell you, but that was the size. Granted, the vast majority are tiny, and when brushing my eye it feels like I'm just brushing sand out of it. Generally my eye is closed, but I can partially open it, and sometimes I'll see one of the critters dangling from my eyelash, holding on for life. That's where I grabbed the big one from.Originally Posted by christianpfc
Anyway, I'm sick and tired of going to the hospital, only to be told the eye doctor isn't in, so as stupid as this sounds, I decided to give dog shampoo a try. It contains permethrin, which kills fleas, ticks, lice, mites, etc. See what happens.
I would think that any pharmacy would have OTC meds for treatment of pubic lice?
It did occur to me that head lice would be much more common in Thailand where passengers on motorbike taxis use the same helmet over and over. Just thinking about it has inspired me to invest in my own helmet!
A chronic case of flatulence is nothing to be embarrassed about these days cdnmatt, it is actually more common than you think. I honestly donтАЩt think ChristianPFC would be too concerned, after all, the Germans are not called krauts for nothing.Originally Posted by cdnmatt
As far as I can remember, IтАЩve only ever had pubic lice twice in my life and the little buggers had taken up residence in my pubes, not my eyelashes. On one occasion, I discovered the little critters while on holiday in Gran Canaria. I went to a local pharmacy with a friend and had the most embarrassing time trying to explain to the pharmacist the nature of my problem.Originally Posted by cdnmatt
I hope your own home remedy works, but be ever so careful that you donтАЩt make a bad situation worse. You canтАЩt be too careful with your eyes. I speak as someone whose left eye muscle is scarred and has a cataract due to radiotherapy treatment. It now has very little movement.
Remember: Coughs and sneezes spread diseases
Honestly, this little saga was started by you on January 2.Originally Posted by cdnmatt
So it now 12 days of eye problems. Unbelievable!
Is KK such a puny backwater that it is impossible to find and speak with some moderately competent doctor, and get this sorted?
..........and that's the way it is.
Have you also considered a flea collar?Originally Posted by cdnmatt
And a new idea for the nether end infestation-an insecticidal cockring.
Re dog shampoo - the antifungal type is very good against dandruff on the human scalp or so I saw on TV recently.
For the op's eye infestation I would urge caution.
As strange as it sounds, seems to be working, which does make sense. I guess I have to wait another 24 hours to confirm, but I'm pretty confident it's working. When I woke up this morning, and pulled the little critters out of my eye, they were little dead, curled up balls instead of live and kicking.Originally Posted by thaiguest
So there you have it -- if you accidentally end up in bed with a filthy whore and get pubic lice out of the deal, instead of playing cat and mouse the doctor, just grab some dog shampoo. Just make sure it's the flea & tick variety that contains permethrin, as that is the recommended treatment. As a caveat, I would recommend going to any local pharmacy and grabbing some generic eye drops, as your eye is going to become extremely dry. Little buggers won't be able to survive in your eye though.
My experiences with Thai pharmacies and doctors are entirely positive. If I have a health problem that does not get better within a few days, I go there and get good treatment at reasonable price, as far as I can judge as a layman.
A picture of your eye would add some credulence to your story.
I once had pubic lice on my pubes, and several others here report the same, that leaves one to wonder what kind of sexual acts you performed to get pubic lice on your eyelashes.
This episode leaves the question: which STDs or parasites can be transferred from towels and bedlinen in hotels? Public washing machines in Thailand are all cold water, do hotels wash their stuff with hot water?
Pharmacies, agreed. I've only been a couple times, but only positive experiences. As for hospital experience, who knows -- best I can assume is the eye specialist who works there maybe has a private clinic, teaches at the university, both, or something along those lines. Same as the vet I use. Owns a private clinic, but is also a professor at KKU, plus is constantly bombing around all over to seminars, etc... so tracking him down can sometimes be easier said than done.Originally Posted by christianpfc
No. Go find me on GR, Grindr, or Hornet. I'm the white "JohnQ" guy. I look like that, except my one eye is completely shut.Originally Posted by christianpfc
A facial would probably do the trick.Originally Posted by christianpfc
I'm no doctor, but from what I've researched, pretty much anything living can be transmitted via linens. This includes lice, crabs, mites, etc. However, transfer via linens is quite rare, because most of the parasites feed off either blood or dead skin cells, and can only survive a short time without a host. So you have to come in contact with the linens very shortly after they get infected for it to be transferred that way.Originally Posted by christianpfc
Nonetheless, I doubt it was the hotel, as it seems quite clean. For example, the towels come in an air-tight plastic packaging, etc. And I already know exactly who it was from anyway. He used to message me every day or two asking what I'm up to, and whether or not I'm busy. Once I asked him about STDs though, he denied, then magically stopped sending me messages. Go figure.
