Do u believe in evil eyes?

My wife does. Religiously. And I had made fun of her for years. But during a trip back home in 2005 she was suspicious and fearful of her relatives from her stepfathers side, saying they were so envious and their eye could harm us. Just recently I as I sat and essed my misfortunes of late, I trace it all back to the summer of 2005. Everything has been going downhill for me EXACTLY since the time I returned from my trip: lost my job 3 times, health issues, marital problems, etc, etc. I think I actually believe it now. Anyone know how to exorcise it?
