Definitions

• the present invention relates to applying chemicals to interfere with the ability of certain arthropods to breathe. More particularly, the present invention relates to applying chemicals to the portions of an arthropod's body that are normally shielded from its external environment by a gaseous envelope that encoats and extends from the arthropod's cuticle and, if present, breathing hole.
• Plastrons are a cuticular bubble of air that protects many arthropods from direct contact with their external environment. This protective shield of air is particularly seen in the arthropods of subclass Acari (ticks, mites), and suborders Heteroptera (bed bugs), and, Anoplura (lice) (Eileen Hebets, Reginald F. Chapman, Surviving the flood: plastron respiration in the nontracheate arthropod. DigitalCommons@University of Kansas - Lincoln, Journal of Insect Physiology 46: 1 (January 2000), pp. 13-19), (Susan M. Villarreal, Truman State University, Plastron respiration in ticks, The 2005 Ecological Society of America Annual Meeting and Exhibition.
• the plastron is mostly confined to the arthropod's spiracle (trachea-like breathing opening) to protect it from contamination from the arthropod's external environment.
• the arthropod plastron is surprisingly hardy even under high pressures and has both superhydrophobic (particularly against polar solutions) and robust, though limited, oleophobic properties.
• Reseachers are currently trying to biomimic this plastron ability for use in underwater diving, anti-corrosion coatings, anti-icing coatings, liquid-repellent textiles, oil/water separation, nanoparticles assembly, and microfluidic devices.
• Parasitic arthropods having this plastron ability are very difficult to eradicate because their plastron largely shields them from any unamicable chemical exposure, such as pesticides.
• Ticks, mites, and lice are among those arthropods that have a plastron and cause civilization many problems both directly, as in the case of both rosacea and the inevitable eyelash follicle mite infestation and accompanying dry eye/lid inflammation found in adult humans, and indirectly such as in Lyme's disease, mange, arthropod-borne viral diseases, crop and livestock infestation and (perhaps most importantly) the current die-off of our critically needed pollinating honey bee population (Varroosis), (Parvaiz Anwar Rather, Iffat Hassan, Human Demodex Mite: The Versatile Mite of Dermatological Importance.
• Oxalic acid recently approved by EPA for use in controlling varroa mite infestation in honey bees is a very strong acid which means that it cannot be used except when greatly diluted and hence is less effective than it otherwise might be if it could be at higher concentrations. Because of its high acidity, oxalic acid is very dangerous to humans as well as to bees (Toxicity Category I, indicating the highest degree of toxicity) and thus special equipment must be used when handling and administering it.
• Demodex mites the obligate parasites that chronically infest the eyelid follicles and eyelid oil glands of all humans, like bee mites, are also plastron-bearing.
• Their plastron is one of the features that allows them to feed on their human host, yet still breathe, while remaining submerged within the now older, age-thickened oil of the eyelid's meibomian glands.
• the meibomian glands are richly surrounded by oxygen-filled arterioles and flanked by eyelashes which the demodex mites can grasp for anchorage.
• tea tree oil can be used only when diluted because it, like oxalic acid, is toxic to delicate human ocular tissues.
• terpinen-4-ol is the most active ingredient found in tea tree oil to demodex mites which, though it is still the largest component of tea tree oil (at 65%) should help reduce some of this demodex treatment's toxicity (Sean Tighe, Ying-Ying Gao, Scheffer C. G. Tseng, Terpinen-4-ol is the Most Active Ingredient of Tea Tree Oil to Kill Demodex Mites, Transl Vis Sci Technol. 2013 Nov; 2(7): 2).
• an arthropod plastron though robust against larger molecular weight non-polar solutions, is inherently vulnerable against lower molecular weight non- polar solutions: the oleophobic capability of the plastron is not able to keep the lighter molecular weight alkanes (i.e. dodecane or less) from passing through and between the two opposing oleophobic surfaces of the plastron because, despite over 400 million years of evolution, nature is limited by the organic materials available to it.
• alkanes i.e. dodecane or less
• this inherent chemical limitation means that any chemical substance dissolved in, emulsified in, or colloidally suspended within the low molecular weight nun-polar solvent will along with this breaching solvent when the plastron's Laplace pressure is broken by this low molecular weight non-polar compound (Gold Darmanin, Frederic Guittard, Superhydrophobic and superoleophobic properties in nature. Materials Today, Volume 18, Issue 5, June 2015, Pages 273-285).
• the low molecular weight non-polar chemical itself would be detrimental to the exacting chemical/geometrical nature of the arthropod's plastron (by changing the shape of the air-filled plastron to a new, more densely filled, liquid plastron shape, by altering the field strengths of the plastron's hydrophobic and hydrophilic components in this now alkane- filled, oleophilic environment, and by clogging their respiration), a more deleterious and longer lasting effect would be achieved if a chemical substance dissolved in, emulsified in, or colloidally suspended within the low molecular weight non-polar compound would inherently interfere with the exacting chemical (e.g., lipids and calcium salts) and geometrical nature of the components necessary for the plastron to function.
• the exacting chemical e.g., lipids and calcium salts
• the arthropod plastron is composed of hydrophobic, monocyclic terpenes. Therefore, one such way to degrade the arthropod plastron's shielding ability is to place, carried along by the breaching inflow of the low molecular weight non-polar solvent into which they are suspended/dissolved/emusified, extra and potentially endogenously- different terpenes within the plastron to chemically compete with plastron's exactingly purpose-limited number and physical arrangement of endogenous terpenes.
• interfering terpenes should be in the form of, but not limited to, monocyclic terpenes, monocyclic terpinenes, monocyclic phellandrenes, monocyclic terpinolenes, and monocyclic terpenoids (with the claim exception of monocyclic terpenoid, terpinen-4-ol, already claimed above by Gao, United States Patent Application No. 20090214676) both because they are all small, low molecular weight compounds that are highly soluble in alkanes, and because, being monocyclically similar to the arthropod's terpenes, they inherently chemically compete with the endogenous terpenes of the arthropod plastron.
• oxalic acid is highly acidic and thus inherently toxic (except sparingly) to all living things.
• anionic compounds dipicolinic acid like oxalic acid, a bicarboxylic bidentate calcium chelator
• phosphoric acid are both about 10 times less acidic than oxalic acid.
• their respective salts sodium dipicolinatc and monosodium phosphate both have essentially neutral pHs and both are known, powerful natural coordination complex chelators that prefer calcium over sodium in all but basic pll environments.
• a salt is, of course, an ionic compound that results from the neutralization reaction of an acidic anion and a base (in the arthropod plastron case, this base is calcium).
• phosphates also greatly expands the possible range of usable solution/suspensions available for the present invention to concomitantly include, along with these phosphates, other arthropod plastron chemical degraders, such as carboxylic, dipicolinic, oxalic acids and their respective salts, as well as terpenes and low molecular weight non-polar alkanes, including cyclic alkanes.
• Dipicolinic acid is also dually beneficially to this plastron degrading effect because it is also a potent anti-inflammatory PLA2 inhibitor and thus would help reduce the concomitant skin inflammation associated with demodex infestations (U.S. Pat. No.
• dipicolinic acid is soluble in glycerin, a common skin product ingredient, and is colloidal in low molecular weight non-polar solutions and in hyaluronic acid (a very high molecular weight protein common to the eye).
• Tea tree oil has been known for many years as a powerful anti-bactcrial/anti-fuiigal and in recent years, based on what was assumed to be its general anti-septic properties, it has been used as the only known treatment for arthropod (mite) infestations of human eyelids. It simply was not known until now that the actual terpene to be used in the treatment should be based on (although not necessarily identical to) the terpenes present in the particular species of arthropod plastron in question.
• acidic anions such as oxalic acid have been known for some years to be somewhat effective in controlling bee arthropod mites based on what was assumed to be its high acidity. It simply was not known until now that the actual acidic anion to be used in the treatment should be based on the calcium salts actually present in the particular species of arthropod plastron in question. It was also not known until now that other acidic anions and their respective salts would, in contrast to the prevailing high-acidity-needed treatment assumption, be potentially even more effective than oxalic acid in poisoning arthropod plastrons because, being less acidic than oxalic acid, they can be used at higher concentration than oxalic acid.
• Mineral oil means any of various lighter mixtures of higher alkanes (nonane to tetrapentacontane) from a mineral source, particularly a distillate of petroleum that is available in light and heavy grades and three basic classes: alkanes, based on n-alkanes; naphthenic oils, based on cycloalkanes; and, aromatic oils, based on aromatic hydrocarbons.
• Emulsifier means a compound or substance at acts as a stabilizer for emulsions preventing the liquids from separating.
• Emulsion means a mixture of two or more liquids that are normally immiscible such that the first liquid (the dispersed phase) is dispersed in the other, second liquid (the continuous phase) and includes reverse emulsions.
• Cassie-Baxter state means the unwettable surface condition that results when, due to the hierarchical structure roughness (micro roughness covered with nano roughness) and angles of the solid surface, it is energetically more profitable (in a surface tension sense) tor the liquid's molecules to adhere to one another than it is to fill in the valleys of the rough surface and thus actually touch the solid surface.
• Surface tension means the elastic tendency of a fluid surface, caused by the polar cohesion of the molecules within the fluid and positively correlated with the polarity of the fluid's molecules ( i.e., non-polar molecules result in fluids with the least surface tension), that makes a fluid acquire the least surface area possible.
• Mixture means the physical combination of two or more different substances which are mixed but are not combined chemically and includes being in the form of form of solutions, emulsions, suspensions, and colloids.
• Oleo means organic chemicals that are derived from plant and animal fats.
• Laplace pressure means the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of a curved surface such as the pressure difference caused by the surface tension of the interface between a liquid and a gas.
• Terpene means any of a class of hydrocarbons occurring widely in plants and animals built up from isoprene, a hydrocarbon consisting of five carbon atoms attached to eight hydrogen atoms (C5H8), including oxygenated and fatty acid derivatives of these hydrocarbons.
• Hydro means water or an aqueous solution tending to dissolve in, mix with, or have a strong affinity for water.
• Chelation means a type of bonding of ions or Lewis base molecules to metal ions involving the formation of two or more separate coordinate bonds between a polydentate (multiple bonded) chelator and a single metallic atom.
