You are absolutely correct, Teri. Thymol is one of the primary oils in thyme and is found in the oregano plant as well. Thyme has been used since ancient times for it'sculinary and medicinal properties. Heck, I even throw a little thyme spice in the potwhen I cook a roast.

If the CS doesn't work, maybe very, very carefully use fingersdampened with the Listerine on the eyebrows? You wouldn't want this getting in your eyes at all..under NO circumstances. It would probably set your eyes on fire but okay for eyebrows. I sometimesuse it on my face (carefully avoiding getting it anywhere near my eyes). Some folks have evenused Listerine in addition to some other things to help get rid of head lice.Lola https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thymol"Thymol has been used to successfully control varroa mites and prevent fermentation and the growth of mold in bee colonies, methods developed by beekeeper R.O.B.

She said mites get in the eyebrows and eye lashes and to run a washcloth over each eyebrow to like scrape the mites off. I spray my eyes with CS, wait for a few minutes, then wipe with the washcloth. She said to come back if that doesn't work as there are some mite killer medicines.Brickey In a message dated 7/14/2015 9:13:24 P.M.

I was thinking I would use a couple cotton balls or pads with CS poured onto them, one for each eye.
