[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 690230, member: 4152"] Neem? I will check it out. I've seen this in the health food store. I have low platelets. Have had this since I was a teen. It can come with Lupus and other autoimmune problems and it is a frequent battle for me. What has been on my sites I visit and perhaps NOT on other sites is that I think the first person to die of the Zika virus in the US, actually died because his platelets plummeted and they couldn't get them back up, so he technically bled to death. This person had other health problems, but they aren't saying what exactly. Ok, now...I hear that there is a person just today, that showed up in the US with the DENGUE VIRUS. What in the world? This is usually caused by MOSQUITOES and guess what? Among other things, it tends to DESTROY PLATELETS! Of course, my fellow ITP sufferers (low platelets) NEVER SEEM to have this particular issue. (Most of us are from the US and UK...some other parts of Europe) This is typically something one hears about in Africa. I am amazed and saddened. My yard is being sprayed tomorrow and every three weeks through Sept. I also my husband spraying the front door area twice a week. I have a more natural product that I'm spraying on my arms and legs and I give myself a tiny squirt of a deet product on my clothing once a day. Mosquitos love me and I don't know why. I scrub myself with soap daily and it doesn't help. So far, this summer (and it's only June1) I've gotten about six bites and I'm concerned. Will check out Neem, etc. [/QUOTE]
