I have been caring for some seedlings of a plant I should not be
growing and it looks as though "someone up there" has decided I should
not grow them, even as a curiosity! (The substance is supposed to be
good for glaucoma which I have!!!)
They were looking OK before Christmas but when I came home after a
week away they looked a bit sad. I thought they were dry or cold or
both. Deterioration continued and then a maginfying glass showed me
it is red spider mite.
I have had this problem on other plants, but not for at least 3 years.
Where have they come from? None of the other plants nearby, in my
living room, are affected. They don't fly like carrot fly do they?

If you have glaucoma you should have medical treatment. It results in
blindness quite quickly, if left untreated.

'Pam',

I too have suffered a lot from this mite in the past and I think that
this site makes real sense of the subject.. Hope it helps.

C. Sativa or Indica reduces interoccluar pressure very effectivly & has less
side effects than the pharmecutical treatments, though shouldn't be used as
a complete replacement. http://www.bonsaigarden.net/ftspidermite.asp has
lots of info on spider mite. If you need more links on growing C. Sativa,
contact me off list & I'll give you some good URLs.

What side effects? I have had pharmaceutical treatment and the drug
used had no side effects. The side effects of ****ing around with none
science is blindness.

According to people I've talked to who have glaucoma & have had side effects
it's mainly itchiness & slight swelling, but, it varies from person to
person & treatment to treatment. I would comment though that your treatment
may need some review as it appears you have managed to not only snip my
intitial statement which stated "shouldn't be used as a complete
replacement" but also introduced a period which completely changes the
context of the sentence.

I'm not at all up on this subject, Pam but isn't there an operation for
Glaucoma now?
Not all herbal treatments are good for us........side effects etc?

Are you a doctor?

Why is any replacement necessary or even to be considered?

but also introduced a period which completely changes the

I am sorry, I snipped to leave the context. I commented on your
remark about side effects.

I wouldn't recommend anything other than getting professional advice
from a doctor. There are a frightening number of people, who go blind
for no good reason in UK every year. Glaucoma is not a joke, nor is it
a thing to be treated by an amateur.

My father had surgery to fix it.

I had glaucoma caused by an allergic reaction to an antibiotic after I
had a cataract operation. In fact some people including me are
sensitive to the fluid that the antibiotic is in.
