Description: "All it took was a few baby chicks and a carpeted floor, and soon, Jane Ishka, a San Francisco Bay Area homesteader, literally felt her skin crawling. She--and her house, her car, and all of her belongings--had been infested by the red poultry mite, Dermanyssus gallinae. Driven from her home and bed by the biting and itching, Jane used her academic background to figure out what was wrong, and most importantly, how to fix it"--Page [4] of cover.
