# Invisible Biting Bug Syndrome (IBBS)

I said before that Invisible Biting Bug Syndrome (IBBS) is reaching epic numbers. I have received a half dozen emails in the last week from people suffering from this, and I am not a doctor! I believe, after looking at this for many years that I have an idea what the problem is. I am going to post the email I just got (without her name) and my response on my fan page. If this is something of interest to you, you can visit it there. Also, I believe that the causes of this syndrome in people may also affect our dogs and cats as they are exposed to the same chemicals we are. Have you ever saw your pet scratch or just cry in pain and not have any idea what the problem was? Maybe animals get IBBS also.

If so, we need to deal with it as well.

“I am being eaten alive and I have been everywhere, and nobody says I have bugs. I don’t know where to turn, who to turn to, what to do, I am so desperate. I have gone to an entomologist and he said I have carpet beetles, but he also said they don’t bite and that they are big and visible. I brought in samples of bugs that I have literally ripped from my skin and he said none of them were bugs.

I am NOT crazy, I have never had a problem like this in my entire life, I don’t think I see things, I don’t hear things, I am not crazy and nobody will believe me. I am being kicked out of my apartment because I demanded they spray for these things, I have lost friends, I have lost credibility with everyone.

They are little red things and they are in my bed, in my clothes, they are in my hair, and specifically, they get in my private areas. I have been to a doctor and the marks on my body resemble bite marks, but they said that if it isn’t the obvious for a doctor, which would be bed bugs, lice, ticks or scabies, then they don’t know what they are. The health department said that they don’t have a “bug man” and that I needed to take samples to the entomologist, which I did.

I will go to my grave telling people I am being eaten alive, I don’t care what anyone tells me, I know this is real My church Pastor even said he would help me if I went to their therapist, of course, they would pay!!! They have me on tranquilizers, and want me to go on an antidepressant, and my dog, who is a companion animal (I am disabled) has been taken away and is in a shelter until this is resolved, I am afraid I will lose him.

I don’t have a dime to my name from fighting these things, I buy insecticide by the case, I use a bottle of OFF every night on my body, and I am now passing out from using this DEET, they tell me not to use it, but have no alternative.

The entomologist told me that if it was a bug, he would know it, but he didn’t know it. I have literally brought a tape (scotch tape) of these things that I have ripped from my vaginal area (and I bled) to show him, and he said it was “dirt.” I am an EXTREMELY clean person, and that just isn’t true. They are even on my towels, they are in my drawers where my clothes are. The exterminator saw one once and said it was a mite, but then “changed his mind.” The entomologist said that they are NOT bird mites and he has NEVER heard of a bird mite infestation and spider mites don’t bite.

Please, please help me, I’m getting sick from this physically, my skin looks like a battle field, I can’t sleep, and everyone thinks I’m crazy. If you want samples, I will send them, but they have to be on scotch tape because they are so small that I can’t “catch” them. I will pay you what I can, I can make payments because now I have to have money to move.

PLEASE help me, I am a Christian woman, and I have pictures I can send, but I have to text them because I don’t know how to get them onto my computer from my phone, I don’t think my phone has that capability. I am not a crack-pot, I am not a nut case, I am desperate. Anything you ask me to send you to prove who I am, I will. I will be waiting for your reply, I pray to God you believe me.”

My Response:
I am convinced after studying this syndrome for many years that it is caused by chemicals in our bodies, not by bugs or fungi. Many chemicals can interact with our nerves and send false messages to our brains. For instance, some chemicals can tell our brain something is crawling on us or biting us, and then we react by scratching, and worse yet, spraying ourselves with pesticides or chemically loaded skin products, which just exacerbates the problem. Some people describe it as a feeling of bugs or parasites scuttling around beneath their skin, accompanied by open lesions that heal slowly and ooze out blue, black or white fibers that can be several millimeters long. These fibers appear like pliable plastic. They can be as fine as spider silk, yet they are strong enough to distend the skin when pulled and elicit shooting pains when you try to remove them. Some of these fibers have been analyzed and they contain along with other substances, bovine DNA. That means the chemicals causing the fibers probably came from drinking milk or eating beef from chemically fed cattle. Vitaly Citovsky, Professor of Biochemistry and Cell Biology at Stony Brook University in New York, discovered that the fibers also contain the substance Agrobacterium, a genus of gram-negative bacteria capable of genetically transforming not only plants, but also other species, including human cells.

Here is what you need to do to try to solve this problem.

First, never expose yourself to pesticides or insect repellents that contain DEET. These products have a lot of chemicals that can harm you. If you use them, they can destroy your immune system making you susceptible to other products. Don’t let pesticides be applied in your home or your workplace and try not to frequent any public building like a restaurant that has recently been treated with pesticides.

Never eat meat from a factory farm. This means almost all meat found in a supermarket or Walmart. If you have to eat meat, eat only meat from small farms or ranches. Never eat vegetables or fruits that have been sprayed with pesticides. If the vegetables and fruits don’t say 100% Organic on the label, don’t eat them.

Don’t eat any food that contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs). One expert, Jeffrey Smith, links GMOs to toxins, allergies, infertility, infant mortality, immune dysfunction, stunted growth, and death.

Don’t consume anything that contains aspartame, such as Equal or Nutrasweet. As a result of its unnatural structure, your body processes the amino acids found in aspartame very differently from a steak or a piece of fish. The amino acids in aspartame literally attack your cells, even crossing the blood-brain barrier to attack your brain cells, creating a toxic cellular overstimulation called excitotoxicity. Also wheat, dairy, and soy contain exceptionally high levels of glutamic and aspartic acid, which makes them all potentially excitotoxic. It is quite possible these chemicals are communicating false messages to your brain, indicating biting bugs that aren’t there.

Don’t eat food out of cans or drink water or other beverages from plastic bottles. The lining of most metal cans has a thin plastic liner that contains bisphenol-A. Bisphenol-A, or BPA, is a chemical thought to increase the risk of infertility, cancer, diabetes, and even heart disease. This chemical is also in plastic bottles. While bisphenol-A may not be directly related to IBBS, it is a chemical that can have a adverse affect on people. There is no reason to weaken your immune system with any chemicals that can be avoided.

Avoid cotton products if at all possible, particularly tampons if you are a woman. In the United States alone, approximately 600 thousand tons of pesticides and chemical fertilizers are applied to cotton fields each season. To bring this fragile plant to harvest, it is heavily sprayed 30 to 40 times a season, in extreme cases, with pesticides so poisonous they gradually render fields barren. Some of this cottonis used to make furniture, mattresses, tampons, swabs, and cotton balls. The average American woman will use 11,000 pesticide treated tampons or sanitary pads during her lifetime. Use only natural tampons.

Don’t use cleaning products such as soaps that contain triclosan or triclocarban. These chemicals are endocrine disrupters. They are widely used in antibacterial soaps, body washes, lip glosses, deodorants, dog shampoos, and even toothpastes. Some brands that contain them are Dial, Colgate, Lever 2000 and Vaseline.

There is no guarantee that avoiding all of these products will solve your problem, but it certainly may help. It may take awhile for the chemicals to be removed from your system, so don’t expect an overnight reaction. You may have to give it several months before you see the symptoms of IBBS start to disappear.

In some cases, the symptoms may not go away. There are three possible scenarios to IBBS (or Morgellons). One could be mites in the house. If you treat the house with a non-toxic product such as Greenbug, and the problem doesn’t go away, then it is most likely chemically related as stated above. If that doesn’t produce results, then it is probably psychological, which is possible in rare cases.

## About askthebugman

I have been in the pest management industry for over 40 years. In that time I have used almost every pesticide available to control so-called “pests”. With this experience, I have learned over the years that the pesticides we use are far more dangerous than the pests we are trying to control. As a result, it has become a passion for me to improve the quality of life for humans and the planet, by assisting people to not only become more educated and aware of their environment – but also by learning to manage their home and business with a sustainable and healthier approach to tending to unwanted infestations of bugs.

1. I live in Winnipeg , i had bugs that i couldn’t see that were biting my feet ,my back, i was going insane, they went away, again , i’m very clean about myself, the doctors couldn’t see anything so here i am putting the word out.
   As it were , i was most likely a host of several bugs as i still have what seems to be some kind of little brown ,thin things on my head i think , all i know is i have what loos like a spider silk around my body , it seems to be in my right eye as well, are there bugs that you heard of that live on humans that resemble anything that i said ?

   - Those aren’t bugs. You have what is known as Morgellons. What you see are bacteria that were living in your body. You have trillions of bacteria in your body and they can actually communicate with your brain. When they are threatened by chemicals, such as anti-biotics, they make small masses and come out through your pores. They can tell the brain through their neurotransmitters that you are being bitten or have a crawling feeling, even though there are no real “bites”. When they exit your body, the masses spread and they are totally invisible to the naked eye. You would need a very strong compound microscope to see one of them. If you are eating meat, you need to stop unless it is absolutely organic. Factory farm meats are loaded with anti-biotics which will have an affect on your gut bacteria. Also, don’t eat any genetically modified foods. Basically only eat organic foods and never expose yourself to pesticides.

     This is a common condition, believe it or not.

     - My daughter was exposed to chemicals while treating for head lice, Now she has Morgellons symptoms. She sprayed all her furniture repeatedly with pyrmethrin spray. Should she just throw the furniture out? We are doing a rigid diet. Thanks

       Posted by Debbie Gill | April 25, 2012, 1:32 am

     - I would certainly get the furniture out of her house. Maybe someone else can really clean it and use it, but she probably shouldn’t be exposed to any pesticides anywhere.

       Posted by askthebugman | April 25, 2012, 3:29 pm

     - Thanks for your help. Can you tell me how to find a link for your information about diet and things you recommend?

       Posted by Debbie Gill | April 26, 2012, 6:52 pm

     - What if its happening to two other people in my family and i.

       Posted by eddie | May 5, 2012, 11:59 pm

     - I would assume that you are all exposed to the same chemicals, either in the air or in your food or both and you are all reacting the same way. It does happen to members of a family occasionally.

     - Hi I thought I might throw something into the mix here regarding morgellons and invisible bugs that bite. Ihave had morgellons going on 5 1/2 years now and I have seen a lot of strange stuff tegarding it. I totally agree with your post that mostly this is a chemical and or toxin build up causing the itching and stings. That said over time having this chemical or toxin build up wreaks havoc on your immune system and over time it is not hard to see one getting infested with parasites, much like an aids patient does because of a weakened immune system. I tried killing the bugs for years, that method rarely works, what finally worked for me was just like this blog says I avoided chemicals as much as i could, I bought a steamer for cleaning and disinfecting with, i avoid GM foods, and Ive increased my intake of salt using sea salt… Oh I also had my mercury fillings removed a little over a year ago. I am now completely symptom free, it took a year of avoiding chemicals, eating right, exercise to get here, but its possible. you can kill the bugs forever, but it you dont have a strong immune system whats to keep them from just coming back. Try treating it for a month as an exposure problem and see if you feel better or not, im guessing a large number of you will.

       Posted by Craig | August 31, 2012, 11:12 pm

     - I know this is an old comment and reply by you, but morgellons is a delusionaly parasitosis, only in so far as what is actually called a parasite. The problem the people with itching skin and bites/stings that doesnt respond to treatment is not a bug. It is Dictyostelium Discoideum (slime mold). CDC has information on it infecting only the eyes of humans, but that is no longer the case, it is infecting skin, sinuses, throats, lungs and ears. It comes with its own bacteria and fungus and the fungus is what you feel as crawling. You eventually attract bugs that are attracted to the fungus which is why so many people find things like collembola, fungus gnats…Bugs that normally do not inhabit humans. The lesions some get that heal very slowly but dont become infected is because the dictyo causes them and then eats the bacteria keeping it fed and you a nice little farm for it. Get a microscope and see for yourself, or just look on youtube for dictyostelium and morgellons. I know a lot of people will say hogwash, but its the truth that is why when stuff is tested it comes up as nothing, the insects and insect parts are made by the dictyo, it having the unique ability to use dna from any animal or insect it comes in contact with, that is why it is commonly used in medical testing because human dna can be used in it to see how it reacts. There is also a type of fungus that can make fake insects, I dont recall its name, but it is a genetucakkt nodified fungus used in some bio-insecticides. But im sure the Bugman knows a lot more about that than i do.. good luck everyone i hope you can get better soon

     - So if its “slime mold”, how the heck do I get it to STOP?? And where have you been for a year???? I had an issue with mold in my house right before this started, makes complete sense!!!! But, how do ii treat it??? Antifungals?? Which one?? Thank you!!!!

       Posted by Kimberly Bonds | October 24, 2012, 2:33 am

     - Kimberly I unfortunately do not have that answer for you or myself, I have heard of methods, but not tried as I cannot find a Dr to supervise. if you go to youtube and search for “Morgellons Dictyostelium Discoideum” and look at the second result you can message me and i can show you a group where they are discussing the dyctyo and what is working and what might work. The first result you see is also a good one, but who knows how much is correct, after all most of us are just people with this and have left to solve it on our own. Carnicom institute has started up a research study and was looking for participants, im not sure if they still are, but I was acccepted into it last week so they might be still. They will pay for all the testing and lab work, only catch is that although you will get the results of your lab work, it is being turned into carnicom in an anonymous manner so you will not get a Dr’s interpetation of the results or what you labs mean, I figure at least you will get some specific numbers and you can take these to your own Doc. hopefully this comment will be approved and you find it, i couldnt respond directly to you for some reason? take care

     - Carpet beetles don’t bite, but you could be allergic to the hair on them. If that is the case, make sure you get rid of static electricity by spraying down your carpet with a bottle of water. Strangely enough, it works. Vacuum and use DE on your baseboards and you will get rid of them soon. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you are imagining everything-this could be a simple allergy of an insect, detergent, or anything in your home. It could be viral, bacterial, etc. Try experimenting to find what it could possibly be that is bothering you. Though you must remember, if you bring these insects to exterminators and they say they aren’t insects, they probably aren’t. So you can rule that out and move onto what it might actually be.

     - People affected by viruses, bacteria, and more specifically PARASITES, should look into getting a zapper! I went through 6 weeks of hell with parasites and after doctors visits, poop tests and antibiotics, I still had parasites. Then I read about the Terminator Zapper. Overnight I felt like a new person! This thing really works (although for full parasite removal, it must be worn for 30 days.) Read about this device please - most people have parasites of some kind, and not even know it. This little device is amazing! See the website worldwithoutparasites.com Who knows, it might even work on Morgellon’s Disease. I wish you all the best!

     - look i can see these things little white or silver flakes in my clothes in my bed they like electricity. if i go in a room or sit down where they are present they fly at me all the time for years i’m a 48 yr old industrial maintenance mgr. At work very dusty, i can hear things moving in my desk my desk and chair are moving creaking my monitor snaps and cracks too. my pants get really tight around my legs and i can see them moving very slightly. it comes in waves every couple weeks or so, at home same thing, tv’s all make a cracking sound as soon as i enter the room my bed starts to creak as soon as i touch it. my truck too unless the battery is dead, (found that out today). My son is 15 he has made comments about hearing things moving in my closet, and says when he lays down with me the bed feels like its moving. When i go into his room his dresser starts creaking and tv too and he hears it too. WTF~!!!! these things are attracted to electricity, and me my son can hear them sometimes and has seen them. They are not all the same some are white some tan some silver. They all flick themselves at me. I can tell if they are present as soon as i enter the room my pants get tight and start crawling. under a microscope they appear different too some look like white bumpy pebbles with litt glistening liquid bubbles on them, others like lint, but they move. sometime i hear a hissing sound just before i start to see everthing on my dresser or bed start moving. my soon has said several time dad did you hear that? and i said what he said like a snake hissing i said yep. some dissapear into the fabric as soon as i try to pluck them. some chemicals i can spray on my clothes at work will make a bunch of white flakes start poping out of my clothes. What you think!

     - A really good book just came out. Natural ways for healing mites and Morgellons. You can get it at genesallnaturalproducts.com. It explains everything.

     - After reading what Doug commented (on Feb. 2, 2015, i think), I feel the need to comment on my experience. I have for years sat quietly and read an observed what seems like an epidemic (for lack of a better word) tearing its way through all our lives. My heart aches as I read so many people reaching out - searching for solutions. I feel grateful to the Bug Man for this outlet to blog. I don’t know what the solution is, and my plight is similar to what you all describe, BUT, I have observed the ELECTRITY thing that Doug was commenting on. When I am paying full attention to things around me, I seem to feel an expanding and contracting of my surroundings - and movement of electrical cords, and I really could go on and on - but am so tired of being dismissed. This topic is very hard to discuss with people who are not experiencing it and/or can’t seem to open their minds. I was hoping to directly contact Doug but I don’t know how to do it on this website. I would tell Doug that i appreciate his venturing forward and describing his experiences. I have been exploring and observing this electricity thing for a “short” while now, and wanted to talk to someone else experiencing it. Anyways, I send out strength and good wishes.

       Posted by Kelly Buurman | March 9, 2015, 1:21 pm

     - Hi, to Kelly B. …I haven’t been active in this thread in quite a while and do not see “Doug’s” post regarding electricity you refer to, but really want to know what has been said. I almost completely got rid of ours for the last year or two, going months and months in a row feeling absolutely nothing. I never stop the routines though and once in a while, there will be another flare up, usually when it becomes really rainy / wet / humid outside, but have a dehumidifier and know how to get it all contained and gone pretty much by now…

       Sorry to ramble, my interest right now is about the electricity aspect. Can you please tell me anything about what was said about this? I am so “electrical” as my husband calls me, I can not ever fold a blanket without being shocked, hearing the electric shock pop sounds and bright white and blue sparks and lights shooting out right where I am touching the object, when it is cold outside. When it isn’t as cold, it only happens here and there. If I go to pet my little dog when it’s cold, it will sound horrible and the bright spark lights light up all down her back where my hand strokes. It is as loud as an old school lightbulb zapping out sound, or some electronics shorting out in a cheesy 80’s movie. It was not always like this and I am extremely interested to hear the correlations you guys have made. Thank you in advance!

     - Elaine - This is Dougs post. I just copied it into my reply. look i can see these things little white or silver flakes in my clothes in my bed they like electricity. if i go in a room or sit down where they are present they fly at me all the time for years i’m a 48 yr old industrial maintenance mgr. At work very dusty, i can hear things moving in my desk my desk and chair are moving creaking my monitor snaps and cracks too. my pants get really tight around my legs and i can see them moving very slightly. it comes in waves every couple weeks or so, at home same thing, tv’s all make a cracking sound as soon as i enter the room my bed starts to creak as soon as i touch it. my truck too unless the battery is dead, (found that out today). My son is 15 he has made comments about hearing things moving in my closet, and says when he lays down with me the bed feels like its moving. When i go into his room his dresser starts creaking and tv too and he hears it too. WTF~!!!! these things are attracted to electricity, and me my son can hear them sometimes and has seen them. They are not all the same some are white some tan some silver. They all flick themselves at me. I can tell if they are present as soon as i enter the room my pants get tight and start crawling. under a microscope they appear different too some look like white bumpy pebbles with litt glistening liquid bubbles on them, others like lint, but they move. sometime i hear a hissing sound just before i start to see everthing on my dresser or bed start moving. my soon has said several time dad did you hear that? and i said what he said like a snake hissing i said yep. some dissapear into the fabric as soon as i try to pluck them. some chemicals i can spray on my clothes at work will make a bunch of white flakes start poping out of my clothes. What you think!

       Thats what he said. I have for years been trying to make sense of all these oddball “things” I experience and have noticed that electricity seems to have something to do with it. I film stuff with my camcorder and started noticing what looks like free moving atoms, (don’t know what else to call them) that show up. More concentrated and thick in the air when things seem like they’re flaring up. I really notice them at sun up and down. Seems to be an active time. The cords in my house move around - slowly and they will be taunt and stiff, not like a flexible, normal cord is. This also happens to the electrical wire that leadsinto my mobile home. It moves around and it drives me crazy. Not a far trip it seems sometimes! Ha! I had a clock that would show me what time it was with the numbers - you know it would just show ex: 11:25 am and when i was having a strong occurence - I swear to .. . . . . well i’m not lying - the clock would take parts of the numbers and black them out. It might look somethings like this 1._5 , does that make sense. Over the years I have had that feeling of what I might call an electrical charge on my skin. I couldn’t tell if it was an electrical situation or something like hair follicle stimulation of some kind. Very creepy. This topic is so off the wall it is very hard to discuss with anyone, much less get someone to see it with me. You know, “Hey friend, want to come over and watch my cords move?”

       Appliances in my house make popping sounds as well as furniture. And things seem to fall or move ever to slightly. But I am experiencing an almost sort of contraction and expansion of “things”. I have had my eyes checked and although I don’t have the greatest eyesight, its fine. I know i am over focused on this problem, yet don’t know how to not pay attention to it. I think the busy-ness of life tends to make days blur into weeks into months. I am not working now and have the time to pay attention. I need answers. I need a name to put to it for me to be at ease. I could go on and on. Hope this finds you well and i enjoyed you responding. Thank you. Would love to continue this and finding others like me helps me feel not so alone.

     - Thank you so much! I am running out the door, but going to read this as soon as I return later tonight. I really appreciate your reply. 🙂

       Posted by Elaine | March 9, 2015, 6:57 pm

     - This goes out to Elaine -I don’t think i really ever answered your comment on my electrical “thing”. I experience a feeling of having like an electrical field around me and sometimes when i am near a strong electrical appliance or something, I will feel an almost “electrical pull” towards it. But I feel it more in connection to a force that surrounds my body, opposed to inside my body - kind of like a static that is making my hair stand on end. I also often see cords on appliances that move ever so slightly. Its as if they are getting taunt and twisting or turning. I every so often have to unplug something cause it stops working and if i leave it alone for a day or so, then plug back in, it will work again.

       I have electrical wires that run into my manufactured home and I often will watch them moving around outside. It creeps me out. Don’t know what to make of that. Sometimes I can even see what i would describe as “electrical atoms” (for lack of a better word) that seem to statically move through the air. Now I have tried to figure out what i am seeing, if I am really seeing this, and where to heck to go now. I can’t. I have had my eyes checked and although they are not getting better (in my old age, HA!) they appear to be normal. So W.T.F. Just some stuff I wanted to purge. Hope things are positive in your world. As well as in all who read this. This battle we all are engaging in is so draining and I hope for everyone not to give up. You don’t have to be a warrior all the time. Sit back, take a breath and the shit will all still be there when you are ready to fight again. It does’nt mean you have given up if you just step back for a moment. Sometimes its sooo clarifying. Anyways, hope to hear from you.

     - I was exposed to black mold in my home 1 year ago and only lately was able to move from that house. We found many different kinds of mold of all colors and shapes. I often got needle like pain and looking with a mag. glass I was sometimes able to see black string coming from the site of the pain. I swear mold can dive right into you skin.
       I watch two tiny white fuzz balls shrink under my skin and out of sight. I also touched something one day and my fingertips hurt so bad I cried for hours. No doctors so far will accept mold under my skin but Im in lots of pain in my fingertips still. The mold is often invisible. I didn’t even kno my bedroom ceiling was covered in a cobweb like mold. I never saw it in the light but one night with a flashlight I accidentally say it and my ceiling looked like something out of a horror movie the way it hung thick. My migraines are gone after cleaning and painting that room. I cant believe I slept under all that.

     - Dude thanks man I’m an exterminator and that explans way I feel like I’m always getting bit. I’m always exposed to pesticides everyday. so the chemicals to what I’m spraying are what seem to give me my bitting feeling all over my body and also for those who use roach sprays and anything of that matter and have a bitting feeling. That just means your body has a low tolerance for pesticide and you should not be using them unless they are organic pesticide sprays like rosemary oils which repel mosquitoes away from your home and furniture.

     - The itching is caused be bacteria Monsanto put in seeds for sale to growers to fight bugs.
       I learned that the bacteria does not like increased blood flow because it kills them.
       I use my open palm to rub the area vigorously 10 times. I use a back scratcher for my back.
       I started rubbing my body 3 times a day, then 2 times a day, now 1 time a day.
       I now go through a whole day with minor itching.
       As soon as I have the money I hope a vibrator can increase blood flow and send the bacteria back to Monsanto.

     - I don’t know about “Morgellons”, but for those of you who are actually dealing wit ” Invisible biting bugs”, they are actually “Mites”. My family and I were struggling terribly with mites after we purchased a new, very high-end leather sofa. We could not figure out what it was because we saw NOTHING! Finally, I noticed something micro small moving across the screen of my cell phone. a few days later I noticed the same thing on a stack of printing paper. Completely on a mission, We do not go to Doctors or use western medicine, so this limited our options. I tried Dry Steam, Diatomaceous Earth, Borax and more, they all helped, but the mites always returned……..

       Finally I found “ECO SMART” all natural, Organic and safe for you, your family and your pets 🙂 !
       I sprayed our sofa, even cutting into the protection liner on the underneath side of the sofa and sprayed it well. I sprayed the mattresses, the pillows, carpets, cars and all clothes…… THEY ARE GONE!!! occasionally I will get another bite, but rarely. Remember; these things catch a ride on your clothes, your pets and they come into our homes on new products, so it is very important that you wash everything before you bring into your home prior to crossing the threshold.

       Our home is 3000 square feet, one story, and I managed to eliminate the INVISIBE BITING BUGS Completely in only 2 applications!! Good Luck to all, you are in my prayers ❤

     - Get Kleen Green Naturally online at Amazon. It’s a non-toxic enzyme that will kill bugs - mites, fleas, ants, etc. You can spray it on furniture, wash clothes in it, bathe your animals, even take a bath in it to kill microscopic mites. The Oak mites are terrible this year! They can even blow in through window screens. This enzyme has saved me this year. I get the gallon of concentrate and mix it with water (1:7 ratio).

     - The site doesn’t seem to say that I wrote this note but I must have. Anyways, here it is once more: There’s like: practically no reason to think there’s something called IBBS. Flies land on creatures that don’t have their protein, muscle, electrolyte count straight and stuff; this problem is the same as any other such problem in life. So I’m going to take Collagen, C, some herbs and stuff and know they’ll move toward the door or rotten food - they can smell us from inside our bodies i.e. Plus our circulation is lower near our feet plus whatever type of clothing and shoes we wear, well……… That’s apt to be it

     - My experience has been that they don’t bite they sting. They crawl around your skin, gather in your joints, and feed off of the nervous system. They’re totally invisible and can chain themselves together to feed. They also spit some kind of liquid which is easy to get a sample of to verify their existence. You can kill them by whacking them with a bug zapper paddle. The paddle is designed not to shock you if you whack your skin, unless you do it too hard. These things attached themselves to me when I moved into an apartment in Wauchula, Florida. The question is how to rid of them completely. I’d like to collaborate with someone in Florida that has a hard core science background to help me investigate this. I have numerous ideas on how to get rid of these things in-mass.

     - I’ve read numerous comments on here about their symptoms. To date, your description is the most accurate one I have read, as I am having the same exact symptoms. I live in California, and got them when I rented a room in a house. I have written down, and noted all the symptoms, as I have tried to study these terrible very small but visible creatures myself, and have had plenty of time to do so as I have had them for 5 years now. Would you like to compare notes?

     - Wow, I suffered from this for years and it used to drive me crazy. I started talking homeopathic medicines like
       Black walnut green hull oil, and other such tincture to get rid of it. It helped but it didn’t go away fully. I still deal with it but it’s not severe as it was in the beginning.
       The one thing that helped was changing my diet, drinking water I buy, filtered, etc. cut back on meats. Don’t eat fast food!!
       I was beginning to think it was mental, as well. But, it’s the chemicals in our foods, environment etc.

   - After many months, I have found something that really works-powdered mustard mixed with Vicks or Vicks-like product-equal parts. Soon as you put it on, they come out and die off. It is incredible. Also, find some sulfur hot springs and soak until you feel normal again.

     - I read that this lady was going crazy with “bites” and then saw an article about airborne mold spores. On a hunch she changed all her filters, starting with the humidifier (which was clogged with mold). Long story short, she cleaned everything with clorox.
       No harm trying. I’m reposting her article in case it helps someone reading it…

     - Bugs also like to be around certain temperatures, colors and stuff; but mustard is a drought plant so they might not get around mustard; such bugs are often warm themselves; if not, their maggots are of infection and eye burns and warm foreheads to us and our drains otherwise bubbling

     - I don’t know about mustard plaster, but I practically live on mustard since I got the creeping crud the VERY DAY I visited a free clinic in my new town about a year ago. I crave mustard like a drug and it’s one of the reasons I’m alive to this day, there are burrowing mites called “drug store beetles” and they are omnivorous, they can disfigure you in a matter of weeks, you could be dead in a few months if you don’t fight the filth at every level… They don’t so much bite as burn holes in your skin with a caustic yeast that can eat its way through lead shielding. My friend, a registered nurse, a very capable woman, says she has proof there are people among us purposely spreading pests like lice, she called one of them “The Lice Lady” knew the woman personally… Whoever is spreading things like those beetles, that’s no lady but a deadly killer among us. Best of luck to you & bon appetit with the mustard!

     - Try Researching Hypochlorous acid which is a disinfectant made from kosher salt and water. It kills fungus, mold spores, oxidizes bugs and bacteria, and is non-staining and non-bleaching, so it can be sprayed on clothes, sheets, hair, pet fur, etc. I would buy some on-line and if it works for your problem, get the machine (Ecoloxtech) and make your own. It can be fogged, too.
       There is a brand called vetericyn for cats, dogs and horses. It is used for wounds. Same stuff but purposefully less strong.

       Posted by Andra | March 16, 2021, 12:33 pm

   - I had the same problem and in the end I bought a small steam cleaner and regular steaming helped tremendously , the only problem is that you must do it daily other wise they come back in a coupe of weeks. Insecticides does not work and is just a waist of money , I have been down that road , SO STEAM CLEAN , I promise you , you will feel the difference immediately . Before going to bed , I steam the bed and linen , five minutes , have a hot shower with a hair shampoo {for dry scalp } and then have a decent itch free sleep .

     This is cheep and easy and quick and you will thank me , and I will be very pleased that I could have helped you because for four years I battled with having very little sleep.

   - I bought everything and even bought a 400 dollar steamer. Me and my husband went to the doctor but they gave us scabies medicine without checking us to see what it really was. My doctor sent me a 200 dollar bill and said I could no longer come their. When I told him it might be scabies he jumped back and would not check me. I thought to my self could these things be burned some how. I started buying sulfur and mixing it with vitaminE and bought sulpher soap and this helped me a lot.. The thing I found that work the best was Texas red hot sauce. It burns and can burn deep. It burn the palms of my hands and I HAD TO USE ICE THAT NIGHT TO COOL MY HANDS DOWN. I poured 3/4 of a bottle all over my mattress I sugest putting it into a spray bottle and adding some water and spraying your bed down. Put your pillows and sheets covers into the dryer each night. Buy Lysol spray and spray your ceilings and let it fall on everything. This has really helped me. After you kill the little devils go to the General Dollars Store and buy scalp conditioner that has sulpher in it and rub it all over because after you kill the things your body will itch until you get them out of your skin. If you scratch than dip your fingernails dip them into the sulphur and oil and make sure you keep it under your nails. You need to try to scratch them out or at least get them lose. It seems like they attached to the skin in under the skin and will not let go. After they die it is hard to get them out at first so take a lot of salt baths. Cut white onions open and pour sea salt it really needs to be sea salt over the onion. Cut the onion into two parts spoon out the center cover with salt wait for 30 min and juice will appear. Take the onion and rub in circle motions until you have onion juice all over your body. The white onions will burn them and kill them. In the old days people used kerosine but I have not tried that and I am afraid to.

     - My experience with this started last year around the end of June. I went to a dermatologist, an allergist, my primary care doctor and have used every cream and medicine known to man with no results. The thing about them is that they went away when it got cool. But this last June they came back. When I brush my hair I can feel hitting my legs and feet. They do get inside my clothes. They are in every room, inside my clean clothes. I can open my pocket book and feel them fly up into my nose and face. They like to stay around my nose, ears and mouth and sometimes my eyes. In fact I got one of them out of my eye one day when it was watering really bad. It looked like a tiny, tiny cucumber seed, had fuzz around it and had one long tentacle (or whatever you want to call it). I have found nothing that will help. I believe they are bugs because of the seasonal thing and because I can feel them hit me when they get on me. Yes, they get in my hair, I can feel them on my face, inside my clothes, everywhere. We have not had our home sprayed yet. My husband is bothered only slightly and he thinks its just gnats that come in when the door gets opened or when he tracks wet grass inside. It seems like I would have had them before I turned 67 years old. I know insects live on carbon dioxide and we breathe it out from our mouth and nose. So it makes sense that that is where they try to be at night. I have carried them to work in my bags. No one else has complained. I believe I am allergic to whatever is biting me. Something about my body attracts them. I really don’t know what to do at this point. I know they (insects) can cause disease and it does worry me, besides driving me batty. HELP!!

     - Are these things from another planet, because for the last 2 years I have been seeing little black round specs in the bathtub floor,on the white bath mat and bites all over my head and arms and even sometimes what I thought was scab from a sore was something because when I picked it off,I squeezed it between my thumbs and blood squirted out of it, I thought at first It was the place I was living at because there was slimy mold in the tray that holds condensation water from the air conditioner, so I thought it was mold spores, but when I went to my family’s house, I go take a shower and sure enough the black specs were on the bath tub floor also and the bath mat ,so I showed my Dad these black specs and he said they just looked like dirt, but then I was outside under the trees and I had these little red specs in my head and they said they were Red Bugs from the moss in the trees, but as many times before I used to go there and also take showers, I had never seen any damn black specs and bites that bleed a lot when you try to come your hair ,it actually hurts to comb your hair because of all the risings in your head and then I would pour alcohol on my head figuring alcohol will kill any bug or infection, and you talk about burning man, it felt like I was shot in the head with a 12 gauge gun with salt pellets and I have been to my doctor and been treated with lice medicine but I didn’t have lice. As of this day 9-5-14 I still am having this problem, recently I had found one bedbug in my bed so the owner fogged the room plus put these special heaters in the room for 4 hours at 140 degrees, which did kill the one I found but the foggier didn’t even do anything to it ,it was still alive in the cup I put it in after the 2 floggers were finished, so those things are a waste of money,only high heat will kill bedbugs, because I thought that what was biting me all over but I’m still getting these bite holes in my head and going to beach I thought would get rid of them with all the salt and sun, but guess what no luck there either, I feel like setting my head on fire and burn them off,which I would never do just a feeling you want to get rid of these frigging (aliens), maybe they are gov. biological warfare, they found in space when on one of their space walks outside of the shuttle they clung on to an astronauts suit or like the movie Andromeda Strain, they came back on a satellite that collects foreign space matter. Maybe I should write a book about this idea and how there is no answer to where they came from, this is a newly found disease, because I know I am not crazy either like that other girl explained, I know this is something new because I am 56 years old and as long as I have been around and to different countries and places I have never seen anything like this ,ever, so this ain’t from nerves because I would of had it 20 years ago. I think they are hooked on all the medications I take for pain and anxiety and can’t stop biting me because not having my blood to drink, they would go into withdrawals and so they have to keep getting their fix off of my blood, my blood is a parasite pharmacy, I wonder if people who smoke weed, if these parasites get stoned, because if they are living off your blood and you take stuff that has addictive or euphoric properties to it, then it has to be transferred to them, but seriously, I have got to find an answer on how to get rid of these (aliens) once and for all, anybody that has a really good idea contact me , Even The Bug man, contact me because I am no entomologist ,But I am pretty damn smart at pharmacology, So if you are serious, my e-mail address will be down there at the end of this info-letter,Thanks,J.B.

     - Lane, I’m very well acquainted with what you’ve described in your post on this message board and I can’t seem to get rid of them. They look like little clear floating fibers that apparently are attracted to my skin and they cause these crawling, itching, and biting sensations that make sleeping impossible and even making it through a single day unbearable too. If I run my fingers through my hair and slightly tug at my hair follicles then I can feel them way down on my legs or other parts of my body too. And whenever I lay down to sleep at night they seem to attack me hardcore as if they’re flying at and all over my body especially my scalp and hair. And I can even hear them making little crackling and popping like noises on my bed, pillow, and in whatever other room I may be in. And they definitely seem to have an attraction to electricity and such. If you have found any methods that have helped since you posted this comment please email me at stay_puft96@yahoo.com….and if anyone else on this message board has any helpful advice on how I can get any relief at all please email me too.

   - I have had this since June 2001 They are real, mine are teeny tiny black dots, I can feel them crawling (that is the worst part for me) When I started my new job in 2011 within months the entire floor was infected, people itching, breaking out in welts and it just keeps getting worse.. So, you see this is not nerves, they are real! It is HORRIBLE, you never get rest. I take benadryl daily, wash clothes 3 times a week, gave away furniture, bought hew furniture 3 times, gave that away.. now I sleep in my recliner and it is infested. !!!! I sweep and mop daily! my daughter can feel them biting, but she is not as bothered as much as I am, the constant crawling makes me feel dirty and it is just so aggravating.. I have thought about suicide often. For people that do not have this, pray to your god that you don’t get it.. all I can say is that is spreading and soon 1 in 4 will have it..

     - It may be yeast spores and mold spores The mold spores are tiny black and bite extremely hard making it burn and sting I have been suffering with this Since 2007. Doctors won’t treat it or even diagnose it. I read even if they wanted to they couldn’t. I don’t know why because soon it will be an epidemic.

     - Sounds like bird mites. After doing extensive research on every kind of mite. What they look like and how to treat and get rid of. Birds mites multiply very quickly and can infest a home fast. If you are that bad already the. You will probably have to get a professional exterminator. I know it’s an expensive way to go. I would also try sulfur cream, and if need be permethrin and least resort ivermectin. All I can say is isolate your areas. Clean everything everyday. It is very tiring I know but it will give you some mental relief while you do it. Hot water, hot dryer, steam and iron.

     - God bless you. My roommate/partner has what sounds like the same thing. I am not affected but watching what she is going through is killing me and making me crazy. It started after a guest visited and broughtbedbugs with them and our apts did bedbug treatment. It has been a living hell ever since, and that was in november. All we do is fight now, im I’m sure she resents me not being affected, and of course I’m sick of hearing about bugs. It seems we’ve tried every crazy home remedy possible. We have no money left and I feel crazy. Cant imagine how everyone who suffers from this feels. It is all insane. And no one seems to give a damn or have any compassion for you. Cruel people telling you to set yourself on fire and all sorts of wonderful well wishes, good luck and prayers for your fight . Pgs

     - sounds like what i’m going through. my husband doesn’t believe me because it doesn’t affect him but others are itchy when i am around and i’m afraid to go anywhere. i have thought about suicide too. i just want the itching to end. i vacuum daily spray down furniture and any other surfaces. i also do laundry often. if i put rubbing alcohol on my skin it relieves it but soon after the itching starts again. so exhausting and i don’t know what to do anymore. we have even moved and it didn’t help. i thought fleas but the exterminator didn’t find any. he thought maybe mites but, we have sprayed so much i will probably have cancer. i have sprayed myself before bed time with bug spray and i was getting headaches and my asthma was being affected. now i drown myself in lotion and the only thing that relieves it is a shower or swimming.

     - ecosmart.com …… My husband and I had this problem for about 3 years. The bugs came into our house on a beautiful new leather sofa. Please read my other posts for our story; Any way, long story short… “ECOSMART” killed our bugs. I used it on my sofa, sprayed mattresses and box springs and put plastic zipping allergy protecting mattress covers on all of them. Luckily we have no carpet :-). Bugs are Gone!! History!! please use the EcoSmart, It works and it is ORGANIC! I believe that these bugs are coming in to our country and homes on the tons of mass produced furniture, clothing and other junk being imported from other countries.

       So, through out anything and everything that you do not use on a regular bases. And use ECOSMART (Indoor) pest control. and please, I realize how crazy these bugs can make you, but please GO NATURAL!!! Good Luck to you. Let us know how this works for you. ❤

     - If it is bird mites, I had these, I have a convertible and a part of a nest fell in my car in the back window that is in need of repair. So it sat there in the back of my Miata day after day waiting and generating more little buggies to drive me insane. First find the nest or where they are breeding, get rid of it. Then what worked for me was to load up on Garlic pills. I would take 5 gel garlic pills every 4 hours. Then this may sound crazy but believe it or not salted peanuts shell and all ground up in a coffee grinder. First I mixed them in with hydrogen peroxide and garlic water, body wash and tea tree oil to make a soap it worked well enough. But I found that Gold Bond medicated itch cream felt really good and took away the itch. So I added a little tea tree oil and my crushed peanut shells. The little buggers couldn’t evacuate my skin fast enough. I spread the mix on then took a spreader and just scraped the little sesame seed like bugs off. Then I would spray them with a mixture of water, white vinegar, borax and tea tree oil which I made by the gallons and sprayed my entire car. my bed, furniture and everything. I am happy to say 5 days and 2 showers a day later I am bug free. They say that Bird mites cannot live on humans. I say bull****! Maybe it’s because I work at night, and rarely get out in the sunlight (I did notice that they would pop up and off me in direct hot sunlight) but I had these things for a good 12 weeks. Probably more because I worked in my car so If I did manage to debug as soon as I got back in my car I was re-infested. I spent a good 8 hours in my car as I am a graveyard shift security guard.
       Note * I for my last couple showers mixed the peanuts with my shampoo, made them stick like glue, then with my conditioner had to use almost an entire bottle but you can get them combed out. I also liked adding shells to Dr. Teal’s Pure Epsom Salt Body Wash (Relax & Relief with Eucalyptus & Spearmint)

     - THIS MAY BE THE MOST COMPREHENSIVELY HARROWING AND VICIOUS DISEASE EVER. THE CULMINATION OF HELLISHLY HAUNTING SYMPTOMS RUN SO DEEP ON ALL LEVELS OF THE INFECTED HOST : PHYSIOLOGICAL, NEUROLOGICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND BIOLOGICAL.

       The worms burrowed under his fingernails. and they laid eggs. and the eggs hatched. and his fingernails became raw and red and rashed. the crevices between his finger beds and fingernails burned and stung like a canker sore in the recesses of the mouth. he picked between his fingernails with a wooden toothpick. scraping gently with a bittersweet enjoyment like the pleasure of bloodying the gums with floss. and as he drew the toothpick along his cuticles and under the nails, strange matter pressured out and ticked across the walls. they shot out like cosmic glass beads being punctured out of a closed crevice. blood and black peppery flakes immersed from his mangled fingers exposing fibrous sinew that spiderwebbed vertically, deep into pustuled pockets around the perimeter of his spongy nailbeds.

   - You are not crazy. More and more people are facing this and there is help at Morgellonsexposed.com. A roll-on of essential oils from Rocky Mountain Oils (Immune Strength) has been giving much relief. Just roll over the foot (arch area) before bed or after shower. A little goes a long way. I have asked them to stock extra because of the number of suffers.

     - 91% Isopropyl Rubbing alcohol kills them on the bed, and everywhere else. You can get it from Walmart, but go early in the morning, because they run out before night. You’ll even notice that they stock 5 times as much 91% as they do regular alcohol (70%), and they still can’t keep it on the shelves because people are using it as a home remedy for some kind of bug epidemic that we are going through. Walmart also carries a 3x sprayer, and these are great!

       Get a dust mite mattress cover from Walmart and put it on your mattress. Put the alcohol in the sprayer. Change sheets daily. Put the alcohol in the sprayer. When you strip the bed, spray the dust mite cover with 91% Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, and air the room out thoroughly. When the mattress cover dries, pick up the insects you can now see because they are wet with scotch tape. I bought 20 dollar satin sheets from Walmart because the weave of satin is so tight that nothing can crawl through. Of course they can crawl around, but it you have a dust mite cover, you have significantly reduced the number there. Also, pull the bed AWAY from the wall, and remove the bedskirt from the bed.

       The bugs bite you, then crawl off of you and back into the mattress. The dust mite cover stops them from doing that. You can just pick them up with scotch tape and send them to your state university entomology dept. for ID. They are less than 1 mm long. Please post what they tell you?

       After you use the bathroom, spray the toilet seat with original Windex, which also kills them. It’s cheaper than the alcohol, and that’s why I use it. I saw a tip on this forum about spraying the space between the tank and the seat, underneath the tank, which has been one of the most helpful things I’ve put into practice.

       As I write this, I am sitting in a large trash bag (39 gallon), because this is the only way I can stop them from crawling on me from the floor. It’s weird, but it works, and can afford you a few hours of peace or rest. I bought some Neem soap (Margo) last night, and it actually helped.

       I think that these may actually be some sort of miniscule flea. I just realized yesterday that the popping, or thumping sensation we feel is the fleas jumping off of us after they feed.

       A friend who used to do pest control told me that many chemicals have been eliminated from pest control operators’ arsenals, and that’s why these bugs have emerged. He didn’t know what else to use, though.

     - Have any of you tried sweating some toxins out, Sun also helps harden the skin so smaller bugs can’t get through. Mixing 91% rubbing Alcohol WITH Windex is what I was trained to do.Also, they sell ground seashells that break the exoskeleton of insects that pass across it. Just got back on my feet after living in homeless shelters & have been through more than I care to say concerning what everyone is speaking of. Keeping A Fan blowing on me at night has some miraculous affect as well. no scientific explanation as to why but the biting almost completely stopped just from that alone. Hope This Has Helped Someone.

   - Hey! Do you still have them? That’s what I have! I am able to keep them from parking in my eye by carefully rubbing cinnamon across upper & lower eyelids, as close to the closure edges as possible, starting from inner corner! They hate cinnamon! And Garlic, cloves split in two, you’re gonna want atleast a couple bulbs, starting top of you & work your way down, avoid too close to eyes though! I thought I’d be slick and encircle my eyes, ended up running many into my eyes and one tore right through one of my contact lenses. Had hell gettin them out (wet cinnamon finger in eye-burned bad!), omg.. spider silk around your body..Please please email me I need to talk to somebody that has the same thing nobody else believes me except my 8 yr old! You, yours must be so much more advanced than mine, I only have some spidersilk, I mean its increasing but that was just cause I keep having to put the battle down cause all the people in my life that dont believe me, some even threatening to take me to the funny farm for delusions! Please, have somebody else there when you first do the garlic thing. They respond …immediately, and its pretty overwhelming, as you see how much of something else you have been carryin around with you, and ..oh! When i was done my daughter said I looked alot younger. Please, please email me, I gotta know what happened to you, your post was like a year ago…please…Also if the garlic ends up too traumatic, salt gets alot of them out too, but not all. And my towel to dry with is heavily dusted with cinnamon, keeps them off or repels from you for atleast a couple hours, sometimes 4-5. my email:DamnDoOverOver@gmail.com

   - I believe you and lady at the top. because I’m fighting with those bugs for little over 2 month so far… I tried all kind of pesticides (Permethrin SFR 36.8%, etc.) including eco-spray products from Belgium (PIP Allergy Free BioticMist, DieNo Mite, etc.) Over 50 pests control products but it only does little pause for about 1~2 minutes. These bugs are microscopic [ 60X microscope view at http://t2j2.com/open/%5B2013.10.14%5DDustmite.png ]
     An unprecedented phenomenon is dust-mites can not fly more likely floating but these bugs knows how to fly faster than mosquitos and also crawling pretty fast too.They swarm flying and landing at nose/hair first and neck/shoulder/hand ( if you are lefty, they landing at left hand for sure ) it means they don’t have eyes.
     They also senses emotional highs and lows especially flare up in anger, if I get aggressive they become violent, little later I get rabidity they become extremely lunatic. but maximum damage they can do: biting ( feels like fastened its teeth; impressed all the time! little invisible bugs are pretty sick ) and bugging all over body.
     Beware/extra caution: they goes into ears… and it seems they wanted to use as their nest. Removing them from the ear is extremely difficult. Until now have not been able to pull all. Recommending earplugs! Evidently, you have to be very sensitive to discern. My mother and my girl-friend didn’t believe until I proved with microscope. also used propane torch to burn them off.
     so far from my languish experienced, the best way to control them ( the surest remedy ) I chosen method of contractors, I purchased “Mr. Heater 75,000-BTU Forced-Air Kerosene Heater” to display fireworks using them as material, without sympathize…

     - i have this also,my life ended as i new it close to 3 yrs ago . I have bought microscopes,loupe anything that might help me figure out what it is. Long story short what started out as specs now I believe is clear worm attached to your hair shaft, it will actually spread the entire hair length and get on you if your not aware or wearing protective gear, Also hair worms that fly or thread worms , and a parasitic bee, wasp,or fly. These clear worms go in every opening you have . They love toilet they will syphen urine from toilet or inside you to spray and feed call other. I have shaved plucked, picked to remove them to no avail. I have found nothing to kill them

     - Though it mimicks bugs I believe this is a fungus. I’ve had it for four months. After day 7 I nearly offed myself. Nobody believed me. I was shocked. I have lived a respectable and SANE life for four decades. Luckily the copper fungicide works. I’ve surrounded myself with needle trees which have natural defense. Even 1 pine needles makes a difference. Pine tar really gives it to them. I grinded up these tree limbs into a powder and it works wonders. Foxfire is the fungus we believe it to be

     - I know these are old posts and over a year later now. I agree these are mold spores that molt into other protozoa? or types of fungus. I can see tiny specs floating rapidly in the dark with a flashlight. I had a molded rug from the padding under in my apt due to having it steam cleaned and it took days to dry when I wasn’t home or knew. Even though I had a dry rug, I was told it was infested with mold by the next carpet cleaners I hired. They showed me after steaming the slime feel to it. I didn’t at first smell mold until then BAD. I put in new carpet and I insisted they do a mold treatment. But my apt. manager said mold can’t grow on concrete and the mold was removed?. I have skin rashes, scalp has tiny sores, blister bites on only one hand same spot and my skin on both hands looks wrinkled and old in just a year. I’m itchy everywhere, finding balls of fungus all different shapes in my nose ears and sides of mouth in a.m. including a grayish scum on my skin, and pouring gray slime out of my vj. I’m bloated, bruising easily. I’m so under attack! I tried clove, garlic, onions and not much helps. Now I bought Sporicidin a mold killer to fog my apt I plan to try. First might try spraying everything with vinegar as Dean suggests. Someone also suggested Rosemary oil? as a repellant and ECO SMART I’ll try. I’m not sure if you drink neem or use to wash? I’m using salicylic acid washes on my body and Nizoral Shampoo. I’m broke as a joke at this point…..but soon also think a good hepa air cleaner is good for all of us we need in each room. I can’t sleep and feel so invaded inside and out. THIS IS HELL. 😦 May God deliver us all out of this!!!

     - I completely understand where you’re coming from. My turning point -to bad- was October 21, 2014. It is mold. Now if you’ve gotten rid of the molded carpet & that was the only location, then your biggest problem should be gone, however, if this was done sloppily, you could now have bigger problems on the way. When toxic mold is removed it is recommended to 1st put a containment around the affected area, (this prevents mold spores from moving to a new location.) If you could feel the itchy feeling like thousands of invisible ants crawling all over you before and now that amount has decreased, then you most likely found the source. Unfortunately, you were exposed to extremely high levels of the mold to the point of developing an alergy. Initially you were probably not allergic to mold, but when exposed to it your immune system initially fight it off and wins leaving you with no knowledge of even being around the Mold. However when exposed to extreme amounts eventually it becomes too much for your immune system to fight off and it breaks down causing you to feel it. Now a lot of people want to guess as to which Mold it is. There are four typically bad ones. However, the stachybotrys produces micro toxins of an extreme nature, it is not likely that was the mold in your carpet, unless your carpet was constantly wet. I say this because this paticular mold needs constant moisture to survive. This mold is also very slow growing. If it was this mold, it wasn’t attacking you alone. It was/is most likely Penicillium / ASPERGILLUS., also a mico-toxin producing mold, however, much more common and versitile with regard to its environment. HORRIBLE STUFF. Still I can not escape this nightmare, I have found was to control it to a point. HEPA filter vacuum, bleach mixed w/water sprayed on cabinets bed & in air. I still get attacked, not as bad, but bad enough. I’m a walking mold detector. I can literally feel when there’s a high mold spore count anywhere. Indoors and out. Sometimes in stores, ridING my bike walking past different moldy areas. On my bike it’s not a constant feeling only when there’s mold. Now these amounts outside are normal and are blown along with the wind, typically they touch everyone. We can feel it because we were exposed to high levels for prolonged periods of time. Unfortunately, doctors are only interested in when it affects our lungs. SAD. the skin irritation is WAY worse then they’d ever imagine. No one would ever fake this. My key areas are my legs and my back.. IT SUCKS

Starting feeling biting all over itching head face eyes.bought lots of cleaning supplies Clorox with bleach the wipes sprays anti-bacterial everything.was trying to pick tthings biting me out of my skin. I put them on tape.2 doctor’s though I was crazy said it was a scab or dirt. My hands had turned a thick crusty brown I thought from cleaning to much with chemicals.Dr. says scabies without even lookin at my hands.go figure! Next day I dyed my hair & took gloves off to rinse there were hundreds of little red specks in the sink didn’t no what it was. Couple days later hands cleared up. Next nite laying in bed with cat an room starts to have a yellow fog or haze looked over at cat her hair was starting to matt together she was scratching an miserable.next morn got out of bed an feet starting to burn bad stingin too every where I walked it was going through my shoes.something out of sci-fi movie seems to follow me everywhere.anyway face still itches still scratching all over. I ran across a site said mites live in mold they feed off one another. I believe it just might be mites. There are face head body eyebrow eyelash mites.my Mom use to say use the vinegar the one with the Mother’s in it so I tried it half an half sprayed over body an face an hair I would not believe what came out of my skin or pores unbelievable!! Do it 3 times a day seems to work on mites sprayed everything down with it as for mold cat an I developed upper respiratory problems but hey one at a time or u will lose it. As far as stinging on feet maybe to many chemicals who knows.eating healthier seems to be working ok for now even giving cat the vinegar workin for her sister sending herbs for immune system we just might make it!! God Bless to all those who suffer from this horrible thing. It will get better.

     - if you have black mold you have to get rid of it or move. it can be very dangerous. and you have to be very careful when you get rid of it or it will just spread spores all over. look on utube for videos on how to deal with it. several people on this blog had itching and other problems and finally found it was due to mold somewhere in their house.

   - wow!! so I guess I’m not crazy. okay I can feel them at first I thought it was baby bed bugs…nope, then maybe fleas, nope, then I ran out of ideas, so I assumed I was crazy. This s has never happened to me before. About a month & 1/2 ago i saw a bug. I had my apartment sprayed for cockroaches and it turned out that it wasn’t that, so they came back 4 days later and they sprayed for bedbugs. So the next day i went back to my apt. (The floor was still super wet w/ insecticide), and the fumes were horindous. The strong smell last for almost a week. well I stayed in there for a little while to clean and after about 3 hours my eyes started burning so I left. me & my children stayed there for two nights but because the fumes were still really bad, we went to a hotel.so instwad of completing the next 2 chemical treatments I arrange to have heat treatment. then well the guy came and did the heat treatment and stuff and I guess he did spray some insecticides too. I don’t know and afterwards it didn’t work I mean there were still bugs. now I know what the bed bug bites are this is not that I now it feels like there’s always something on my legs some times it hurts like I’m getting stung other times its just the feeling of thousands of bugs trapped between me and my pants. fleas in Arizona? I don’t know, but I mean it’s worse than a flea infestation. I had fleas this isnt flea. And I see nothing. They are in rhe apt. And can get in my pants and shoes & they can even get on my car. On hot days with my windows up i can come back to my car & theyre gone. So I got another apt. In the same complex, which im sure was recently treated with insecticide, and I left everything in the first apt. We’ve been sleepy ng on the carpeted floor. (There’s no carpet in the first apt). Well now these whatever it is is in both apts, worse however in the first. When I walk through the door,
     I instantly get attacked, its so bad now that i have to run from the door to the refridgerator. This worked as of a couple of days ago, but last night I ran, but when I got back out I could feel them on me, allover my legs, they must slip right through the fabric., cuz there’s no way they could crawl up my pants. you can’t see anything it’s like they’re invisleave and spray myself with alcohol they go away until I enter one of the apts again. Theyre everywhere, bathroom, clothes, everywhere every single room in the house and drive me nuts I can barely think straight. This is how the bedbugs affected me too but these don’t away and hide ever. So what could this be? I read some of your comments about different stuff, I don’t know if its that or which one or what…… I mean my kids weren’t exposed to the chemicals as long or in such a direct dose as me but they feel it a little, my daughter more then my son, she was in the apartment less time then me but more time then my son. Could it be over exposure to all these different pesticides in such a shoet time or what? I don’t know this is kind of driving me nuts. I mean I can’t work. Im tripping out at work now, I’v had them spray too and clean the carpets. okay this is another thing, I slept in my car last night so I didn’t feel the little things crawling all over me while I slept last night. Now yesterday when I went to work, I felt it all day long, coworkers say ive got the he-B-G-Bs still cuz of the bedbug invation last month. you know I actually went in the bathroom, and pulled off my clothes to see what I could find. Nothing… I took off my pants and tossed my socks in the trash.
     So when I went to work today the chair that I sat in yesterday qas gone i got rid of it the day before and stood all day. Becaue i thought i contaminated the chair. So the chair was gone today, I got a new chair a metal one, and when I sat down I could feel it. it was coming off the carpet from where i sit. so what could this be?

     - About 15 years ago, my mom, highly educated professional, was going absolutely ape-sh$t about something biting her in her condo. I lived on the same floor but at the opposite end of the building. She was convinced that she had an allergic reaction to new carpeting with a very strong chemical smell being installed throughout her entire work place. It was so severe that she had to go out on disability for three months. Now she was still getting “stringed” and having rashes in her home. At the time, I chalked it up to menapause. She developed dementia shortly after retiring. I am her primary care giver. I see how this thing ravaged her body, especially her back. It looks like she has been whipped. Her skin is pitted from healing scars and welts crisis cross her back where she scratched incessantly. She has been non-verbal now for five years. Wait for it — I AM NOW VICTMIZED BY THUS HELLISH CONDITION.

       My symptoms started after suffering from series of respiratory illnesses winter of 2014. In April 2014, I noticed I had pimple like eruptions on my legs, arms, behind ears, neck and chest. They did not itch but looked awful. I would just wait for them to go away. I swear it appeared that a vampire was sucking blood out of my neck and chest. All of the eruptions were on a vein.

       Whenever I washed my hair, I felt grainy bits mixed in with lather run down my legs. I would mash my legs together to feel them. On two occasions, I grabbed what appeared to be a gnat tangled with hair!!??? At the time, I had what I thought a fruit fly infestation because my son left some fruit to rot in his room. Mystery solved (so I thought) gnats/fruit flys were biting me. I now know fruit flies don’t bite humans but gnats do. I placed bowls of apple cider vinegar to trap them and in two weeks, the infestation was gone but I was still having welts and bites on my body.

       In July 2014 I got stung by an insect outside. Later that night, I felt like I was being shocked with live wires all over my body. This is the day the creeping crawling sensations started. They were intense at night. It felt like there was something moving in my eyebrows, crawling in my ears, biting my scalp and body. And also, the eruptions/bites on body started to itch.

       I first assumed these symptoms were stress related. I only had the creepy crawlers in my house. The moment I left my unit, all sensations ceased. In the evening when symptoms were severe, I would jump in the shower only to dry off and find more insect-like bumps on my body. I noticed silky string hit my iPad when it was off on the black screen.
       I looked up at bedroom ceiling. Nothing there. I mopped entire ceiling with bleach solution. Started using iPad again and this gooey substance kept falling directly on device. What the hell?

       I then noticed pepper-like grains all over my bedding. I hit the Internet. Oh boy, now I was terrified. Was it Morgellons, mites or bed bugs? My master bath was particularly hit the hardest bi would clean daily and find these pepper grains all over the place: sink, ledge, floor and bathtub. Literally, I would do through mopping and five minutes later find more of these droppings. I have pigeons nesting on and off outside bathroom kedge for over ten years. They have destroyed the screen window to the point where I can’t open window in Warner weather. I periodically open window, splash bleach on ledge and point hot jet spray of water to clear nasty waste droppings from birds.

       I now assumed it was mites attacking only me. I started to do the mite protocols I read on the various sites. I spent hours cleaning and vacuuming. Spent hundreds of dollars on a multitude of sprays. I was becoming more sensitive to whatever was in my hone environment.

       I saw my doctor and as I am an acute asthmatic she diagnosed hives. She told me to take some benedryl at night to sleep. I didn’t. I bought dozens of lint rollers and swept bedding and kept finding these specks. In addition, these specks were appearing in bowel movements. Now is it a parasite?

       It is now Fall 2015 and I am consumed to the point of a nervous breakdown. I won’t let my oldest son’s family in the house as I don’t want my house of terrors to travel home with them. My youngest son who is a teen anger is totally unaffected. The only way I was able to rest at night was to wear a button down smooth tightly woven men’s dress shirt covered with a xxx white tee shirt with long pant pajam’s. Also, I started wearing my hair tightly in a bun covered with a secure head scarf. I sprayed bedding in morning with 91 alcohol and before I retired. The bites decreased on body but increased where skin exposed on feet and ankles.

       I did the dianetous earth thing thinking it might be carpet beetles as we have carpeting throughout house bi did borax and salt on carpeting. Still getting bit.

       In November my fingers and feet were hot/cold numb. Then they started to swell and turn hot. I could not fit into any shoes. Had to buy men’s slippers to wear. On the third day with these symptoms, I was being bitten sharply non-stop and had weeping rash all over feet, ankles and hands. Off to the ER.

       Once at ER triage, told nurse something was biting me. She replied ” an invisible bug?” I said I don’t know what it is but maybe I had scabies. I was immediately whisked off to an observation room and treated like psyche case even with the very obvious physical symptoms that were all over my body. When I over heard the doctor outside discussing me with nurse very dismissively with nurse, I just walked out and went to another ER.

       They correctly diagnosed me with cellulitis and the ER Doctor thought that I was bitten by a spider and skin got infected. I received four medications to take for ten days. Also I followed up with my own doctor and she recommended I modify diet and she prescribed a probiotic to take with meals. She made the same correlation that my mom experienced all of these same symptoms.

       I did see a dramatic decrease in symptoms and physical debris. As I stated earlier, I was particularly attacked in my bathroom. I covered all vents, cracks and openings with waterproof duct taped. I mopped all ceilings and walks with diluted bleach. My son changed toilet seat and thoroughly cleaned all pipes and underside of toilet. I totally threw away all items under sink and got rid of all clutter from the attached three shelf vanity. After doing this and using bathroom, for the first time in months, did not feel biting or stinging sensation on back or thighs. Also I taped the entire perimeter of the window which is directly behind the toilet. After all showers, I spray tub and walks with Lysol and sanitize tub by filling it up with three cups of bleach and hot water. No more nipping at my feet while I shower. I wash hair with a sulphur base soap. I use an organic tea-tree soap with dr bromners peppermint soap. I keep my clothes in clear storage container. I use another one for clothes I only wear once to laundry. I found an outside laundry that heats water to hot to touch with gas dryers that laundry is too hot to handle when cycle is done. I drink ACV with lemon water upon waking and have incorporated lots of garlic in evening meal.

       I know this is long winded but I wanted to give all sequence of events. It is totally dreadful we are unwilling captives tormented by an unknown internal or external enemy. I don’t know why the medical community dismisses us with impunity. Once a haven, my home now terrorizes me. I feel like my sanity is slipping slowly into the snake pit. I am praying for all of us to be delivered from this hell so we can reclaim our lives.

       Conclusion, I don’t know what it was. There are too many variables in play.

     - this worked for me, after two years of hell. Find a relative who will put you up for two months. buy large size Nuvan pest strips, enough to hang in every room. Buy small size of the same and put them in large zip lock or vacuum bags with clothing, linens you do not want to throw out. Move out for two months taking nothing with you. buy some new clothes to hold you over. get a prescription for cephalexin - generic antibiotic. the bugs have a symbiotic relationship with a bacterium. killing it robs them of their food supply and they will die off. When you return to your home, air it out thoroughly and dispose of the pest strips. the eggs cannot be destroyed but can only be removed with a hepa filtered vacuum cleaner, so clean thoroughly or hire a cleaning firm. this gave me my life back. good luck

     - This is an Organsim which has evolved or was created in a lab
       Or its more than one organism living symbiotically to parasitize humans ie combo of Norwegian/crusted Scabies and chigger or hybrid human fleas (pulex irritans) and pin worms
       As it presents characteristics of all these insects and drain gnats or black flies or even some sort of wiry looking hair
       Human flea bites tend to be two or three right in a row instead of just one bite from other species. They make a red lump that itches intensely. Sometimes a red halo forms around the lump. Some people are very allergic to flea saliva. Human fleas have also been known to transmit diseases.Ie Lyme Disease these little pathogens cause an increase in fibrin in our blood, causing it to thicken and clot quickly causing haemoglobin levels to drop subsequently creating a more anaerobic environment for them selves. These critters breed quickly and in great numbers, you can find yourself with a problem in a very short period of time, and often before you notice any intrusion on your person. In fact, some people may get bitten by fleas several times and not notice, while another person may be sensitive to the flea (allergic) and react strongly to a single bite. You may have to treat a few times for one infestation, because flea eggs are usually impervious to any insecticides and can’t be killed until they hatch. Take a probiotic and Vitamin C 1000mg or more to improve your immune System .Use a salt scrub on your skin and lemon dish washer or soap which contains salycilic acid and limolene. Repeat the bathing steps every second day until no more fleas/mites are found. When you combine this process with products designed to kill fleas on bedding and carpet and clothing, the insect invasion should be gone in time.Salt C Protocol works but you have to monitor your blood pressure

       Shape
       Flea cocoons are irregular, tent-like structures.22 However, they take on an oval shape once they’re fully formed.623124 The ovoid cocoons resemble tiny lint balls.910 Occasionally, two larvae will spin cocoons in close proximity to each other. In these rare circumstances, there may be a combined, double cocoon.24
       Color & Composition
       Sticky Silk & Debris
       Flea cocoons are envelopes of thin, white, silk-like material.456 The silk fibers are soft, moist and sticky, and wrapped loosely around the larvae.54157 As a result, environmental debris easily adheres to the cocoon.518 This detritus may consist of sand, dust, soil, clothithing /linen or carpet fibers or any other small fragments of dry material.242542611The larvae purposefully collect and integrate these particles into their cocoons with a few silk threads.Consume your cotton clothing and excrete silk like spiderweb thread From inside the loose structure, the larvae thicken the interior walls with more silk (Img 2).24

       They’re composed of white silk.456 However, the sticky silk accumulates nearby debris, which camouflages the cocoon into the environment.2478 Flea cocoons are oval-shaped and look like a lint ball

       Camouflage
       Flea cocoons are difficult to detect. Debris adhering to the silk originates from the same environment where the cocoons rest, giving them a near perfect camouflage. Within homes, larvae pupate at the base of carpeting. The cocoons are hidden from view and tightly bound to the linen/clothing /carpet fibers with silk.(Lint ball feels like it is attached with Velcro when you remove it but detaches itself when extreme heat is applied ie hairdryer or paint stripping airgun Larvae may also pupate in other dark, undisturbed locations. Cocoons can be found in crevices, seams clothing linen and bedding mattresses and pillows, within pet bedding, or attached to soft furniture.2454
       The Silk
       Physical Characteristics
       Flea larvae have modified labial (salivary) glands which produce silk.273288 Their mandibles attach the silk to the desired location.184 The silk is white, soft and moist,2415 slightly hardening over a few days.24 Cat fleas, like other “body fleas”, have soft cocoons. “Nest fleas” typically have firm cocoons.8
       Composition
       • Flea silk proteins have a predominantly α-helical conformation. The silk’s composition has low levels of glycine and high levels of glutamic acid residues. Preliminary data suggests the silk is more like keratin and myosin than it is like aculeate silks. The surface is practically impenetrable that flea sprays or fogging substances only coats the cocoon but not harm the developing flea inside.

       Movement
       Cocoon Formation & Molting
       Fully-grown larvae enter into a period of inactivity before spinning a cocoon.17 Once started, they complete the cocoon in 6.7 hours. Then movement ceases again. Pupation then begins in 17.8 hours.21 Within its cocoon, a U-shaped larva remains motionless as it transitions into an adult over 3-6 days.30 Two molts occur within the cocoon: From larvae to pupae, and from pupae to adult. At each molt, there’s a short burst of activity.30 The shed cuticles (skins) remain within the cocoon. Inside this cocoon, they metamorphose into the adult fleas. At the onset, they are white, but they become brown when they emerge.2430
       Pre-Emerged Adult
       Once adulthood is reached, fleas can remain in a motionless, dormant state inside their cocoons. This quiescent period lasts up to 5 months, but it ends when a nearby host triggers their emergence.26313233 The presence of heat or pressure causes emergence in 5 seconds.3026 Fleas that fail to emerge will move around inside their cocoon and then return to a quiescent state. When they shed the cocoon lots of dust motes are created They survive in our clothing linen and soft furnishings as the lint formed cocoon stage for up to a yearvery hard to eradicate

   - Exactly the problems i have been experiencing.
     Have your place inspected & tedted for mold. You may not see it but it’s everywhere. Also have your Dr. Check your vitamin D levels. if your amune system is low, you’ll be able to feel the mold spores, when concentrations are elevated . Start with the checking of your vitamin D levels. If it’s low & the attackers are mold spores, there’s a lot you need to know……

     - I hired a environmental company to test the house I was renting. I was trying to get answers so wanted to see if there was something in the house that may be toxic. I was exhausted from going back and forth to dr. appointments. I couldn’t get any of the Dr.’s to listen to me when I tried to tell explain to them over and over something had to causing all these issues. I had severe weight loss , hair loss, chronic fatigue, joint pain, teeth issues, skin issues, and don’t even look well. Then was just referred to see a dermatologist and had to wait two months until they had a appoitment available. To have them look at all the sores like lesions that i starting getting on my back and parts of my legs. The first vist she said all it was was bacterial infection. Then after trying several rx creams and still was having skin issues . Then on my fourth vist with the dermatologist I asked her can you do a skin biospy just see if something is abnormal or underneath my skin. I said I think it may be some type of mite, parasite, or maybe a fungal infection. The dr. said that mites wouldn’t burry into my skin or ears and this wasn’t scabies or any type of parasites. Then asked her what was all this grey stuff coming off my skin all ever and feel dirty even after I shower she said that all just dead skin coming out. Then when i bathe or shower and my skin is wet there is some type of white looking tiny mite with hairs coming from underneath my skin and in my scalp. She finally agreed to do a skin biospy from the skin around and underneath my toes but said it’s probably just a little yeast nothing more. Then while waiting in biospy results the house environmental lab testing results came back. The report confirmed with such high levels of airborne mold spores could cause health realted problens. Then everything in the home was contaminated with a type of toxic mold and anything fabric such as rugs, couches, clothing, bedding, mattress, blankets, towels needed to thrown out also. The home needed to be vacted and not to be used as a dwelling structue until all the mold remediation was completed. Then the home had to be tested again after the remediation contamination repairs were completed showing no mold contamination in the home to be used as a dwelling structure again. Then the next day I received the skin biospy results which were abnormal with acremonium mold species in my skin, hair, and nails. Then they called in spornex very strong and expensive fungal medication and said I needed to go see a infectous diease dr. but everyone I called dont want to treat me because it’s mold. So this was in November and losing more weight and have these hard knots like bone near my bones and some areas at my ankles. Now I felt little round small pea size cysts under my armpits and feel them in between my ribs and other area. My back just staring hurting and feels like were my kidneys are. I don’t what to try next or what dr.s treat mold viictims.

   - How can this be tested? I have been suffering from this for a very long time, and no one believes me either. I slept in my car for weeks and lost all credibility now. And it doesn’t stop. Please help.

     - Ryan, my daughter has suffered from symptoms for several yeas also her autistic child. If you read this blog for long you will find hundreds of different theories and ideas. I know for sure that they have extreme chemical sensitivity. . Our nerves are very sensitive to chemicals and it can feel just like bugs biting when your body responds. For us, using chemicals on the body and environment made them much worse. I’m not saying some don’t have a legitimate parasite or mold or something .I 100% believe people have these symptoms, I just think many of us DON’T have a bug. We have been through it all. Try detoxing your body first. You might be contributing to your problem if you start using lots of chemicals. I really think that many of the morghellons symptoms may be a response in the body to chemical exposure .You can youtube detox.

   - They are black mold gnats that are biting people and they are hard to see because you feel the bite minutes after they bite you. There is a good chance you have mold poisoning which attracts them to you. If you get a black light you can see a yellowish mold around your house mostly in the bathroom or even in the walls. I was on Cipro for 3 months and started having this issue all the time plus I moved in a house on the Lake in Lake Forest, Ca which had mold. A lot of my neighbors were also complaining about this as well. It takes months of Antofungal treatment to get this out of your body and you have to clean your environment too. If you take a laxitive you will see yellow mold or yeast come out of you by the gallons. The doctor gave me a suppository and for days yellow stuff came out, I felt like hell for a week but started to feel great after 10days.

   - TOTALLY MISSING THE POINT
     The problem is that this young woman, and the magority of you are talking about totally different things. This bedbug issue has never happened before. And we have yet to find the answer, to it, once we have indeed discovered that this is a real problem in the world that we live in. There will! be researchers all over the world trying to bring resolve to this never before heard of ( make no mistake about it) human bedbug infestation.
     Sad to say these bugs are far ahead of the. what is normal?
     No one seems to understands what is happening, and worse yet, no one is willing to try to understand. Please do not correct any person who has already had an experience with this bedbug issue, you can not tell them what they have experienced when you didn’t understand what he or she were talking about in the first place. Must we have to fall down before we can get back up again? Nearly 2017 the plague goes on and still no solution. This woman clearly stated that she is seeing the pesty little bugs on more than one occasion. Pay attention! I’m erging you too to pay attention!

     - Of coarse bedbugs were around before! I think it must have been in the early 1900’s and we got rid of most of them. Today fling from one side of planet to the next takes half a day.
       I’m 59 and one of my daughter’s brought home bedbugs. I’ve never seen them before but read how to get rid of them.
       These are different. If the light is right I can see them flying in a vortex and changes shapes in cylinders and tornado shapes. They are very intelligent.. one night while out walking at dusk I saw many very large ones up in the sky. I’m not scared of the small one. But knowing how smart they are I need to come to grips for myself about the large ones.
       This bug is so cute! When he runs along very, very fast with his long legs it makes me laugh . The poor little fella. I don’t think it has anything to do ith what we are calling Morgellon’s but those all gravitate towards me . Probably because of the communication.. like a dog or some kind of primate mixed with man made things with specific shapes, colors and bright lights under my skin .
       This guy reminds me of a moth with the false eyes but only a harder shell than wings. I’m sending a very short video . He makes me laugh, with his very long legs.

   - This is an Organsim which has evolved or was created in a lab
     Or its more than one organism living symbiotically to parasitize humans ie combo of Norwegian/crusted Scabies and chigger or hybrid human fleas (pulex irritans) and pin worms
     As it presents characteristics of all these insects and drain gnats or black flies or even some sort of wiry looking hair
     Human flea bites tend to be two or three right in a row instead of just one bite from other species. They make a red lump that itches intensely. Sometimes a red halo forms around the lump. Some people are very allergic to flea saliva. Human fleas have also been known to transmit diseases.Ie Lyme Disease these little pathogens cause an increase in fibrin in our blood, causing it to thicken and clot quickly causing haemoglobin levels to drop subsequently creating a more anaerobic environment for them selves. These critters breed quickly and in great numbers, you can find yourself with a problem in a very short period of time, and often before you notice any intrusion on your person. In fact, some people may get bitten by fleas several times and not notice, while another person may be sensitive to the flea (allergic) and react strongly to a single bite. You may have to treat a few times for one infestation, because flea eggs are usually impervious to any insecticides and can’t be killed until they hatch. Take a probiotic and Vitamin C 1000mg or more to improve your immune System .Use a salt scrub on your skin and lemon dish washer or soap which contains salycilic acid and limolene. Repeat the bathing steps every second day until no more fleas/mites are found. When you combine this process with products designed to kill fleas on bedding and carpet and clothing, the insect invasion should be gone in time.Salt C Protocol works but you have to monitor your blood pressure

     Shape
     Flea cocoons are irregular, tent-like structures.22 However, they take on an oval shape once they’re fully formed.623124 The ovoid cocoons resemble tiny lint balls.910 Occasionally, two larvae will spin cocoons in close proximity to each other. In these rare circumstances, there may be a combined, double cocoon.24
     Color & Composition
     Sticky Silk & Debris
     Flea cocoons are envelopes of thin, white, silk-like material.456 The silk fibers are soft, moist and sticky, and wrapped loosely around the larvae.54157 As a result, environmental debris easily adheres to the cocoon.518 This detritus may consist of sand, dust, soil, clothithing /linen or carpet fibers or any other small fragments of dry material.242542611The larvae purposefully collect and integrate these particles into their cocoons with a few silk threads.Consume your cotton clothing and excrete silk like spiderweb thread From inside the loose structure, the larvae thicken the interior walls with more silk (Img 2).24

     They’re composed of white silk.456 However, the sticky silk accumulates nearby debris, which camouflages the cocoon into the environment.2478 Flea cocoons are oval-shaped and look like a lint ball

     Camouflage
     Flea cocoons are difficult to detect. Debris adhering to the silk originates from the same environment where the cocoons rest, giving them a near perfect camouflage. Within homes, larvae pupate at the base of carpeting. The cocoons are hidden from view and tightly bound to the linen/clothing /carpet fibers with silk.(Lint ball feels like it is attached with Velcro when you remove it but detaches itself when extreme heat is applied ie hairdryer or paint stripping airgun Larvae may also pupate in other dark, undisturbed locations. Cocoons can be found in crevices, seams clothing linen and bedding mattresses and pillows, within pet bedding, or attached to soft furniture.2454
     The Silk
     Physical Characteristics
     Flea larvae have modified labial (salivary) glands which produce silk.273288 Their mandibles attach the silk to the desired location.184 The silk is white, soft and moist,2415 slightly hardening over a few days.24 Cat fleas, like other “body fleas”, have soft cocoons. “Nest fleas” typically have firm cocoons.8
     Composition
     • Flea silk proteins have a predominantly α-helical conformation. The silk’s composition has low levels of glycine and high levels of glutamic acid residues. Preliminary data suggests the silk is more like keratin and myosin than it is like aculeate silks. The surface is practically impenetrable that flea sprays or fogging substances only coats the cocoon but not harm the developing flea inside.

     Movement
     Cocoon Formation & Molting
     Fully-grown larvae enter into a period of inactivity before spinning a cocoon.17 Once started, they complete the cocoon in 6.7 hours. Then movement ceases again. Pupation then begins in 17.8 hours.21 Within its cocoon, a U-shaped larva remains motionless as it transitions into an adult over 3-6 days.30 Two molts occur within the cocoon: From larvae to pupae, and from pupae to adult. At each molt, there’s a short burst of activity.30 The shed cuticles (skins) remain within the cocoon. Inside this cocoon, they metamorphose into the adult fleas. At the onset, they are white, but they become brown when they emerge.2430
     Pre-Emerged Adult
     Once adulthood is reached, fleas can remain in a motionless, dormant state inside their cocoons. This quiescent period lasts up to 5 months, but it ends when a nearby host triggers their emergence.26313233 The presence of heat or pressure causes emergence in 5 seconds.3026 Fleas that fail to emerge will move around inside their cocoon and then return to a quiescent state. When they shed the cocoon lots of dust motes are created They survive in our clothing linen and soft furnishings as the lint formed cocoon stage for up to a yearvery hard to eradicate

   - My husband and I had gone through the invisible itching, bite marks, etc. We found the solution. Just a bit more background first … If needles could bite, that was the sensation. Other times the sensation was that something was crawling on us. We spent a lot of money trying to get to the bottom of it including hiring and environmental engineer to take air samples (to check for asbestos, living organism, infectious bird diseases). We had a bird nesting in our mail box. In the same 2-3 week time window, we got mite bites from a hotel, and we visited some land and had a bunch of deer ticks crawling our bodies. After seeing a dermatologist, getting allergy skin tests for mold, buying a kid’s microscope and magnifying glass to find the invisibles, having our pet birds tested for bird mites, buying essential oils (lemon, cedar, neem, peppermint, rosemary, etc,etc), bringing out 2 pest companies, washing bedsheets/clothes nightly, cleaning, sanitizing, vacuming every day, bombing with cedar, air duct cleaning, air duct part changed, ete etc (hell), we started to wonder why nothing was working and at that point considered that it was coming from within our bodies. With what had happened, we spoke to our Dr about getting testing for Lymes. We both tested positive and I later confirmed with my family doctor that Lymes can manifest itself as itching. 1 year and 9 months later, we started the Buhner protocol (see his book - healing lyme) and have been on it so far for about 6 weeks. Itching is going down for my husband. We both have more energy. Honestly, I can’t believe I was as sick as I was. It started as itching but over time I had Low energy, memory loss, and hearing loss. One note, most Lymes Disease tests are not very accurate and may not detect the disease. I suggest spending the extra money and having the blood test sent to IGenX.

   - What people are describing are what sounds to me to be “chiggers” or “red bugs”. They range from microscopic to the size of a copper bb. They range in color from a clearish white to simply blood red. Believe me when I say u are not crazy and you are not imagining them. They are real and they will cause you to feel you are going insane. They do move around and you can see them come to the surface of your skin then disappear just as fast as they appeared in the first place. Google the word “chigger” and you will find your answer to question. If you live in a rural area with a lot of pine trees and/or sand I can guarantee you have been exposed to them. Some people are more sensitive than others. If you consume a lot of sugar, are a diabetic or have a weak immune system the will thrive in your body.

   - There’s like: practically no reason to think there’s something called IBBS. Flies land on creatures that don’t have their protein, muscle, electrolyte count straight and stuff; this problem is the same as any other such problem in life. So I’m going to take Collagen, C, some herbs and stuff and know they’ll move toward the door or rotten food - they can smell us from inside our bodies i.e. Plus our circulation is lower near our feet plus whatever type of clothing and shoes we wear, well……… That’s apt to be it

   - As someone who cleaned houses for twenty years, and someone who practically never had skin problems, I was unprepared for the contact dermatitis I got this year when my back went out, just when I had planned a badly needed spring cleaning. When what started out like cat scratch disease was spreading fast, I didn’t wait to see the doctor but started treating it like it could be bacterial, fungal, viral or parasites. I’d have gone completely bonkers without my sticky lint-roller and my little bag of natural micro-dermabrasion powder that works as a desiccant on the tiny creatures that seemed to make it spread like mad. Now what had blossomed to a population of nearly three dozen open lesions has now healed up except for three stubborn wounds where the cat’s dewclaw dug in deep. Keeping the skin dry between bathing and medicating your wounds every twelve hours seemed to be the key to overcoming the stubborn problem. And if you have cats, dogs or other pets, be sure to get plenty of de-worming treatment and topical flea stuff “just for them.” Here’s a few brand names I love: Bactine, Zoetis, Scotch brand sticky rollers.

Nevertheless ; (remember this will not stop until, the higher up’s take a look at my research) for inside the body is folic acid, 2 tablets a day, morning and evening, some food will add to these sensation.Try more creaming stuff… Dale, listen the body is overwhelmed from what we are facing… do not add more toxic ( with cleaners ) to your environment , to clean, used only white distill vinegar (its works and its cheap ) for its a gems killer and safe to the body, I know you wrote some time ago; yet I hope you get to see this and apply this to your daily life ,this is not a cure; but it will help. you and others .one more thing , sea water can be spay on other house hold things; be strong my new friend I will contact at a later time

   - It is NOT A SYNDROME! The bugs live in our computer. If I stay away, I’m not bothered. My husband isn’t bothered, just me. We have fought this since we took delivery of a bed delivered by a Dominion Freightway truck. We got a huge load of bed bugs and these horrible mites. We hired professionals to spray twice a month, and our car! We had control of them at one point, but recently they increased by 10000! Must have bitten me while I was asleep. They do awaken me by crawling in my privates.

     This is a true nightmare. We spend hours steaming bedding and clothing! And it’s been 20 years! The bedbugs are gone completely, but not the mites which I suspect are living in my vagina. I feel this is a losing battle! But we can’t stop fighting and we are now elderly!

   - Hi,
     I am a 58 year old young lady from the midwest. I’ve been suffering from demodex mites and morgellons disease (I just realized) since 2019. I was also diagnosed with Lyme disease and 2 co-infections from tick bites in 2016. I would advise each of you that is experiencing the biting mites, the breakouts, etc to be tested for tick born viruses. You can also get Lyme and other viruses from flea, mosquitoes, lice, and mite bites. I’ve been to many doctors over the years and to at least 8 within this past year. No one will believe me either about the breakouts and feeling like I’m being bitten and stung. Said I needed to be prescribed antidepressants (which I’m already on since 2016), and see a psychiatrist.

     That’s pretty cruel for doctors to do this to patients. If they don’t know, then admit it, then try help them, or refer them to someone who will. But doctors are taught to automatically tell the patient it’s a psychotic disorder. This is an abusive and cruel thing to do to patients, as I said before.

     I am going to assure you , you are not crazy!! It is not made up for attention! It is real! I would suggest a diet without gluten, dairy, sugar, processed foods. Bathing with natural, and mild body washes, and shampoo. With tea tree and peppermint oils.
     Amazon has many products that can help.

     Wash your pillowcases daily, shower daily, moisturize your skin daily. Spray and clean your bed and home with a natural product (I’ve been using for a year now. It works very well!) Natural Genesis Kleen-Free Natually products. I add it to my laundry. I clean with it, you can also bath with it. Vacuum your carpets, under beds, etc. Try to keep the area you stay in, such as your bedroom, clean as possible. Wash your bed sheets weekly. Including the bedspread and blankets. If your home is infested with a different type of mite, such as bird mites, you will need to fog your home and do more to remove them from your home. I

I might have to get her Island scrubbed and I seen that on YouTube the other day I’m very worried if it’s caused you to go completely blind so I will go immediately to an eye doctor at least to get the islands on washed out because that is very real and they probably are mites and it could be a number of different bus cuz I thought it was too I thought it was brown recluse black widows yes you’re not crazy cuz it seems a little pink ones coming out my mouth feel my throat I seen you put vaseline everywhere and it seemed like there was like some large mean world language is coming up on my foot all the way up towards my heart and I was so scared like I just seen them move through my skin it was so freaking and then there was a silver things come from the clock side of my mouth and it was one of them couple

   - If you want to prove that you indeed have invisible bugs syndrome you can do it by taking some wide clear packing tape and wrap it around the calf of your leg. Tear off a piece that will wrap around the calf two times with an inch extra to secure it.

     Fold the tape in half sticky side to sticky side leaving an inch of sticky. Wrap it around your calf and sit for an hour or two in a kitchen or office type chair that has an open space under the seat.

     Take the tape off and examine it under light. You will see splotches on the clear tape. You have just verified conclusively that you have these things. If you’re working with a doctor show the tape to them and ask them if they can analyze the material on it or send it out for a possible DNA test.

     We need to get some science people involved to help us identify these things. If you have connections to a lab or college science department present the evidence and see if it can be analyzed.

     If you wear socks 24/7 they will gather mostly there. This means less on your upper body.

     You can kill these things to get some relief by using a Black Flag bug racket and Eveready rechargeable batteries. I’ve tried them all and this combination works the best.

     Reinforce the racket by putting some wide packing tape on the sides and the top. Cut off any excess so it doesn’t touch the metal.

     Sit in a chair with legs extended heals on ground toes up. Wear socks to do this. Start tapping your big toe with the racket. Use it with the “on” indicator light up. You will see a flash and hear a pop. Due this a few times and once you get a steady stream wobble the racket from side to side to increase the affect. These things are attracted to electricity so I decided to use it against them. Adjust the racket till you get a tight steady stream. You will feel your foot getting cooler. That’s an effect of bug density decreasing. I then count to 100 or 200. You can do the same on the other foot. Always do this when they start really “bugging” you. It slows them down drastically.

     As I said let’s get some science people involved and wipe these things out for ourselves and our families.

   - Its not. Morgellons is the result of a chemical reaction to bacteria in our system. Mostly from chemically loaded foods we eat such as factory farm meat.

     - You are wrong!

       I wish that I lived closer, so that I could meet you. Within seconds of being close to me, you would start itching! A chemical reaction cannot spread to another person like that, can it? These are REAL, they are bugs, they are miniature to begin with, and grow to a tiny speck. The ones that I have, when they are just hatched and attacking your body, feel like static spreading over your arms, or face or whatever part of body they are climbing onto. One of mine are in the form of book lice, but they have to be genetically engineered to be able to do the things they are capable of. And they do live in the house, and inside the human body - it’s an endless circle. What is worse though, is the damage these bugs are actually doing to the insides of our bodies, while we are busy trying to get rid of them on the outside.

       My skull ( the actual bone) as well as my spine and shins, are now littered with grooves and lines all over. I am a woman, and know, as well as have pictures, of what I looked like before this illness. And I am not talking small things, I am talking pathways, grooves, that lead from the top of my head, down my forehead, to my eyebrow on one side, and over the ear on the other side, the size and depth of about 1/8 of an inch or even a little bigger, and they have gotten deeper over the last year, since I have discovered them. So, ask yourself, what kind of a bug, would be capable of gouging out bone? Sounds like a twilight zone, doesn’t it? I don’t think a chemical reaction could do that either Mr. Bugman. This thing is far more dark and sinister than any of us are really willing to admit to. After all, how would your feel, if you found out that you are a target of a world wide attack on human life? A brilliantly designed weapon, that can slip under the radar, and has been aggressively denied, and suppressed for over a decade, by all (should be involved and helpful) official organizations, like the Gov., the CDC, and all medical community.

       I am 45, and live a pure lifestyle (almost all the recommendations of the post above), and have for all of my life, and yet I am having “unexplained” life threatening health problems. Before Morgellons, I was in the top 5% of the most healthy people according to my life insurance. I paid $11 for a quarter million policy, because I was such a low risk. If you know nothing about life insurance - that is an unbelievable rate, and should tell you something about my health.

       Well, that’s my 5 cents! Do with it what you will. Thanks for your post, for getting involved, and for caring.

     - If you have bugs, then take them to another pest person or a university to an entomologist. None of them are invisible and should be identifiable by someone who is competent in entomology or acarology. It is possible you are having a chemical reaction to something as chemicals will cause your internal bacteria to exit through your skin and it looks like bites. Read the entire post on this to help determine what it is you have and take the samples to someone who is knowledgeable.

       Posted by askthebugman | July 23, 2012, 10:53 pm

     - I believe you Julie. Very few people suffer from these microscopic bugs. If everyone was afflicted, it would be front page news on the New York Times. No one can really understand the problem unless you are being bitten all day and can’t really see the bugs. Bugs on your couch, car, hair, and sofa. There are 6-7 possible bugs that can cause similar problems. The symptoms are slightly different. I think the majority of people are suffering from one of these: some type of mite, thrips, colemboa, morgellons, springtails, fleas etc. I wish I could see my biting pests. They are minature flying bugs about the size of this period. They bite and multiply quickly. I can only seem them in strong sunlight with a magnifying glass. I have found very small white cocoons in my clothing. I’ve narrowed down my problem to thrips, or parasitic wasps which are 1/100th of inch in size. Just found out the agriculture industry breeds these wasps by the billions to neutralize agriculture pests. Hmm wonder if there is a correlation between the breeding of these pests and the sudden onslaught of microscopic flying pests that non one can identify?? Self help is the key. I have found the majority of the pest control industry cannot imagine anything that is not in their playbook of standard bugs. It’s sort of sad but very true.

     - Springtails and Collembola are the same thing and they don’t bite people. They feed on vegetation, mold and fungus. Thrips will occasionally bite people if they are outside where the thrips are living. Bird mites and rat mites will bite people but they won’t breed on them or infest them. This is all nonsense spread by idiotic websites like birdmite.org. Fleas will bite but they are visible, and morgellon’s isn’t a bug, its a condition. Parasitic wasps aren’t capable of biting people or stinging people. They are too small and only go after insects they parasitize. No chance of being infested with parasitic wasps. No-see-ums are biting midges that are very small and can bite, but they live in areas where there is a lot of moisture as they breed in damp soil. Most of these biting symptoms are from chemicals causing a reaction in your body with your own bacteria.

     - Seven years, I have suffered from invisible, near microscopic black mites, that leave long scratches on the skin and itch. They seem to be magnetically attracted to skin, move very fast. They like to hang out in hairy parts of the body and will migrate from the crotch to the top of the head, then back of ears. They leave white smaller than sesame seeds that are glued to hair roots. Submerging in water 10+ minutes will kill them. Nit remover comb will help. What has helped me the most is KLEEN GREEN NATURALLY enzyme in water as spray. http://WWW.naturalginesis.com, 1800.807.9350. It desolves the bugs outer shell and is nontoxic. Vacuum often. Doctors and exterminators no nothing about them, they will even say you are imagining or you are mentally ill. Call the number, you will talk to someone who has suffered from them also. They infiltrate your mattress, cover with plastic, they love dust and old paper, electronic equipment, carpets, old deserted buildings, live 5+ years without blood and survive 20 below zero. You can pick them up when you sit down, especially in movie theaters, public places, doctors and dentist offices, hair dressers, and will wait for you to sit down in your favorite place at home. Take a little bottle of the spray with you, spray seat, if you feel them behind your ears etc. spray them. Some people can feel them crawling, some people think you are nuts, or maybe are not attractive the the mites, I have been told if you have allergies you are more attractive.

     - I have found that if I use Borax on my carpets often, I have less of the bites. I spray lysol on cloth furniture and an also a very clean person. The bug that bites me is black, moves like an ant, bites like a pin prick and I can’t get it with scotch tape usually because by the time I get my finger on it, it’s a little ball of black. They seem to drop or come out of nowhere. I found the Borax trick because a neighbor let his ferret die and the fleas were everywhere and it got rid of the fleas almost overnight and that was years ago. I have seen this little biting bug in a book, on paper, so it could be book mites. I noticed up a ways in the blog a lady with the ‘red mites’. I got them sitting on the beach. Antibiotic cream took care of them. Talk about an itch and a bite…they were terrible. Worse than beach ‘no see ums’. What ever you do, don’t scratch them…just kill them if you can.

     - i have been to so many Doctors and none of believe me I know they are not bugs they are bacteria. I was sitting on my chair the other night and I looked at my arm and there was a black thing a little smaller than a match head on my arm I don’t know how long he had been there but I picked him off and you could see where it had been chewing mt skin if I had left him on all night it would have been under my skin. I have had these non-bugs now for over a year and no Doctors believes me they think I belong in a bug house. One hosp. was a teaching hosp. and the doctor brought in about 6 young girls and said right in front of me and I’m a man. This is a case lof extream inmaginary and he shoudt go see a phycarist I got mad and called the doctor a Quack and walked out. There is nothing wrong wth my head I’m notg crazy. I have bite marks all. over my body my they just shake there heads and hand me some same ld cream and say just put a bandage on it and kit will get better. No Cheers tonight Bill

     - Julie, can you do some research on DE (diatomaceous earth) and give it a try rather topically or internally or both? I know that internally it detoxes and also neutralizes the ions that are bad for us; externally, it might dry out your skin but that is why bugs HATE it because it is like glass to them while seems like powder to us - it is used as a safe bug killer (safe for us, safe for kids and pets, but not for bugs as it dries out there exoskeleton and is like how we feel about shards of glass rubbing on us).

   - Im certain morgellons doesnt start in the blood but after it takes over so to speak I believe it definately affects blood chemistry. Ive been suffering from Morgellons after a trip to Northern California. In the 4 months since I am almost unrecognizable to myself. Lost so much weight I look skeletal. Suffered the biting,stinging,itching etc. Hair loss, fatigue, depression and recently thin silver wirey things out of skin. Also metal flakes of various color. The little black specks in my bed and the white plastic stickerlike stuff in my clothing. I too have been accused of being delusional by family as I lost my husband of 31 yrs to cancer in 2010 therefore they blame stress and grief for my symptoms. I now keep to myself and never mention misery to anyone Im very certain of my plight as Im sure are you. The slimemold theory makes the most scence to me. It seems to fit all of my symptoms, especially the globs of slimey gunk that floats in my bath. Sorry so gross!! good luck and hope for all !!

     - Hang in their!!! I thougtht many nites I wasn’t going to wake up the next morning, but that’s a distant memory now. As hard as it is, stay positive, eat healthy, excercise and when all looks dark, dreary and depressing, you have to bring yourseelf back b/c you have a battle ahead of you. Lay off chemicals and use natural stuff, except the salycylic acid found in Neutrogena skin care products. This helped tremendously. Pachoulli oil, rub thee skin, you’ll be amazed at how fast it heals, especially the “crescent shaped soft spots” under the skin. Its an inside-out issue and you haveto stay positive, it thrives on stress and sugar. Peppermoint oil and iodine helps as well. I stick to antifungal, antibacterial mix and now, near the end, GOD willling, 2 years of sores, they are healing. My face was a mess, healing, I lost 40 pounds, 99 pounds, back up to 112, there is hoppe, stay strong and fight this horrid disease. Vaccuum and steam the fibers in the furnituree if you have to keep it dO NOT PICK anything. A whitehead isn’t a pimple and will be a huge sore if you touch it. Nip it in the bud and put oils on it, natural oils. Good luck, God blless!!. Sorry, typing on cell phne

3. Hi, since Sunday I have started getting bit by something in bed. I feel them crawling on my head, my arms, legs, private parts, in my nose. They are not bed bugs. We have placed mattress and pillow covers in the bedrooms. My husband thnks I’m crazy but last night, I noticed he was itching. My son who cosleeps also woke up a number of times, I could tell, from itchiness. We have three chickens and I’m pretty sure they don’t have mites. I sprinkle DE food grade in their nesting and dusting areas. I had heard baby birds a month ago putside our house and no longer hear them. I think we have an infestation of bird mites. From the Internet search I’ve done, it looks like it’s very hard to get rid of, unlike rat mites which can’t live off rats/mice permanently. Please, tell me if you have done research on bird mites and humans. Can heat treatment work? My bites are pinprick red dots which have no pattern. They are not even itchy after a while, just when the bugs are crawling on me and after the initial bite. They are not bed bugs. We have not found any bugs at all. Btw, in my twenties I had bedbug bites from a Thailand trip. I got extremely itchy and bad bites from those. These are not the same. I can feel them crawling on me at different parts of the day, mainly at night in bed. I am hoping it doesn’t spread to the rest of the house. We are in el cerrito. Can you help??? Thank you.

   - Don’t pay attention to that bird mites website. It is fundamentally wrong. Bird mites will bite if the birds have left the nest, but they won’t crawl in your nose or near your private areas. They will bite on the arms and legs, which are the easiest to get to and they won’t breed in the house. If you want to treat for them to see if they are the problem, fog the house with Greenbug for Indoors, which is a natural product made from cedar. Go to http://www.greenbugallnatural.com

     If it isn’t mites, then it you are having a chemical reaction to some chemicals that you have been exposed to or more likely eaten. If you eat meat from a supermarket or Walmart, the antibiotics in the meat are reacting with your gut bacteria. The bacteria can communicate with your brain using neurotransmitters and you will have the feeling of something crawling on you or biting you, but it is actually the bacteria reacting to chemicals. Genetically modified foods cause this as well. You may want to make sure you eat organic foods only and don’t use any chlorinated water for anything.

     - I think you are wrong I found little red specs on our bed I have bites and itching also my husband has itching I took samples to a entomologist waitng for results but this is a real problem and not from walmart meat or chemicals I think that what is told when you don’t know what it is. I ‘have had this problem now for 4months also we have had bird’s nest around the house and and sever wasps nest in the sideing which I know we have to get rid of and hopefully our problem might go away

       Posted by b jenkins | July 7, 2012, 7:46 pm

     - If you read the posts, I have always said bird mites could be the problem. Usually if no mites are found or any other pests, then it is probably a chemical reaction. If the scabs come back as mites, have your house treated for them.

       Posted by askthebugman | July 7, 2012, 7:50 pm

     - My daughter and whole family had specks coming off on the sheets. We went to the entomologist, dermatologist, extension service and pest control. After the specks( black pepper looking) stopped, then they started with fibers coming out of the skin. All this was documented medically. There were also risk factors like birds nests and leave litter all over her yard. In her case, it was a response to chemicals but we looked into everything just like you are doing. I sure hope that you are successful in finding the cause. Now, I am very thankful that it was chemical because it was less scary than everything else you read about. The symptoms were very, very real. It resolved in three months.

       Posted by Debbie Gill | July 9, 2012, 3:36 am

     - Let us know what you find out as it helps others. I have really been interested in this since our family experienced it first hand. There were lots of things I was doing and not thinking a thing about like using lots of sunscreen loaded with chemicals. I am still using some but I am very cautious about the ingredients. Also, cleaning supplies can be very hazardous.

       Posted by Debbie Gill | July 9, 2012, 3:42 am

     - It took me 2 full months to see my parasites. Still don’t know what they are. But, I do know they fly!! Put your used clothing in a plastic bin with sealed lid. Leave it there for 3-4 days. Take the bin to a window with strong direct sunlight. Buy a 10x magnifying glass with a big lens. Let the bin sit in the sun for several minutes to get them excited. and then remove the lid. Shake the clothes and start looking. Does it fly or crawl?? Look through the clothes for more signs of bugs. You can also put a piece of white and black paper in the bottom of the bin on day 1. Your bugs could be opaque or dark colored, hence the 2 backgrounds.

     - My family (myself, wife and 5 yo daughter) have been suffering with an invisible bug problem since April 2012. This has nothing to do with diet, as we have bee eating organic for close to 8 years. We cannot see them, but we can feel them crawling on our skin, and we get occasional bites (they seem to like my wife the most) (they get real active from night until morning, and they love cloth anything). We have tried everything and nothing thus far has worked. It is not imaginary as my wife’s parents began to feel them soon after she stayed there for a few days and dropped our daughter off for a month visit, but we told them to vacuum everyday and lay down D.E. so they would not take hold, and luckily they did not.

       I’m not saying that what you propose is not true in some cases, but know that there is at least one family out there, with a “only shop at Whole Foods, eat plenty of organic veggies and fruits” diet, whom are suffering with some kind of crawling and biting insect. And it seems they are next to impossible to get rid of.

     - Have you considered trying treatment for systemic yeast? It is worth a try. If you have it no amount of organics will help. You must eat a rigid yeast free diet and use yeast fighters plus strong probiotics. It is worth a try.

     - check out the site StopSkinMites.com. (it doesn’t actually have to do with mites, it’s about IBBS.) She found that fogging with a cedar oil helps and also has protocols for washing your body and clothes. It hasn’t completely made them go away for me but has helped a lot. She has links to the cedar oil product and wash products on her site. Not cheap but as I said it has helped me a lot. (She doesn’t sell the products herself.)

       Posted by EricJohansen | June 29, 2015, 12:49 am

   - Firstly,many one who has suffered through this has my deepest sympathy, and no, you are not crazy! Anyone who has not been the ongoing insufferable buffet for a bevy of mites best not tell someone else it is all in their head. I had a similar problem last year. I would get bitten thirty or so times a night while my husband laying next to me did not. I thought it was hives. Ater three doctors visits and a rash reaction to amoxicillin which was prescribed for who knows what reason, I got a doctor tell me i was being bitten by rat mites and that palo alto where i live in a rental home for an exhorbitant price, had lots and lots of rats owing to its proximity to the bay and the lush vegitation absolutely everywhere. Impossible i thought. And why only me for a midnight snack? This was common, she said. Rat mites prefer women. Great. I called santa clara county vector control and got the sweetest guy to come out and look for rats. Not only did he find telltale droppings and the empty shells of snails after an all night rat fest in the attic, but together we found a teeny tiny little reddish speck that he assured me was a rat mite. It looked like a speck. I could barely see the red myself, but i just happen to own a microscope Purchased for five bucks at a flea market (no pun intended), and lo and behold, we put that sucker ona slide and saw the little nasty legs and biting head! Now, for the fun part, control, elimination, and relief.
     Firstly, a rat mite cannot breed on a human, but it can bit you to death for as long as it lives. The rat mits are eating you because a rat died nearby somewhere and the mites sought out a new host. They feed at night. Eliminating the rats and sealing up the house is the first order of business no matter what a pest control place tells you. No rats. No rat mites. Do not poison the rats! This is the worst thing you can do. They will die nearby and incite a whole new generation of mites to feed on you. Trap them, get a pro to do it, every day for a week until they are gone, and then seal the house, roof, etc, with screens. Clean the crap out of the house with a vacuum and pine sol. Then buy this stuff called food grade diatomaceous earth, which you sprinkle with a spoon all along the edges of the walls of each room and leave there for a week. Vacuum it up and do it again. This is the only non chemical way to kill the remaining mites. Pest control will want to poison the crap out of the rats and the mites. Do they not understand the concept of the circle of life? You can buy diatomaceous earth froma feed store because it is what is used to keep mites off fowl and is safe to ingest, just try not to inhale it.

     For relief of your skin, be kind. Lavender oil gave some relief, and then I tried clove oil, and tea tree oil which did not smell so good but a few drops in each ultra hot laundry load helped. Also, each night I sprayed the sheets with orange oil from trader joes (room freshened), and sometimes I sprayed alcohol near the bed. I never resorted to deet sprayed on my legs, but I was tempted. It took several months for them to go completely away. I became a raving lunatic during that time, and it really compromised my health trying to get it resolved and solved healthfully. If I had this info first, it would have saved me a lot of pain.
     I sure hope this helps! You will be itch free once again and you are not crazy! Good luck. Oh yes, and aveno oatmeal bath soaks during the day were heavenly.

   - We have been having the same problem. We have noted two possible sources of these “noseeums.z’ 1) While walking in the country last summer my husband felt a mass of something infest him almost at once. They were not chiggers (he’s had those), nor scabies nor fleas. For months afterwards he had the teeny bites/itching in the night and some during the day. They finally disappeared. Also, about a year ago my daughter had to bring her cat to live with us saying that she suffered from some type of mite or insect that she could never see but knew they were on her and also spread to herself. We didn’t notice anything for quite some time then after about a year we started noticing these “noseeums” on us-especially in bed and around my desk area in my office where I spent much of my time working-and also the cat sleeps.

     About 1-2 times per week I do a “spring cleaning” of my office and bedroom, strip everything down, empty everything out, wash everything washable and clean like a madwoman. I barely notice them for a day or so then they are right back in full force!

     As far as all the lifestyle ideas, I have been extraordinarily health-conscious since my early twenties and now in my early 60’s and in fabulous health. I rarely eat animal protein of any type and if I do, it is always from local, small family sources and organic. Same with all my fruits and vegetable. Don’t use anything with antibacterials or any type of chemicals, pesticides or insecticides. Haven’t for over 40 years. Very clean, very healthy with extremely healthy lifestyle. So I have ruled out any of these parasitic, slime-mold or other ideas. I also know what the crawly sensation feels like from when hormone changes took place. Had scabies once about 10 years ago caught from a tanning bed (which is the only time in my life I ever visited one!). These are definitely some type of insect and my guess is they are something that has morphed to an undetectable state because of all the overuse of pesticides, flea drops on pets, antibiotics or whatever. It is so new no one has an explanation yet. Given time, I think they will figure it out. We will all just have to be patient.

   - just wondering if you solved your problem. I had bird mites and kept getting infected. I made a body wash that would wash thousands of the mites out of my skin, hair, ears, nose and privates. the little buggers came pouring out of me. I work at night and sleep all day. Yes they do live under your skin but only in certain conditions. I found that if I went into the sun they cant survive in my skin once I started using the body wash and taking massive amounts of garlic 1000mg gel pills.
     if you want the body wash recipe, just email me at buggersoff@yahoo.com

4. I think my dog might have this IBBS. I have two dogs. One is perfectly normal, the other started snapping at imaginary bugs about 6 months ago. Now she behaves as if they are chasing her. Poor thing doesn’t get any peace unless she’s sedated. Again, the other dog has no problems whatsoever. same breed, same food, same everything. Any thoughts? Could she have eaten a bug or something else outdoors that is causing this reaction? I live in a suburban area.

   - I am guessing she has a more compromised immune system and is more likely to be affected by chemicals. Perhaps change her diet and give her food that may be better. Natural foods instead of processed foods. Also, don’t use pesticides on her for fleas, etc. There are natural products you can use. See if that helps.

5. I have been staying up late at nights (12:09am now) due to crawling all over my body! I feel like something, I don’t know what, is biting me. I have a BIG fear of spiders and the house I live in has tons of them! I can’t sleep because I feel that they are crawling all over my, in my ears, nostrils, and even my anal hole! I don’t know what to do. I even wake up with itchy bug bites but I looked all over my bed and clothes for bugs and can’t find any? I’ll even take showers at 1am and I’ll feel fine for the night, but then the next night (I take showers every morning, so it’s not that) I’ll feel it again! I mainly felt it for the past two days. It feels like it’s taking over my life! I feel them all over my body, I even have this weird feeling in my sholderblade that feels like something big is crawling under my skin, it doesn’t tickle like the ‘bugs’ do, but I just feel movement. Only in that place. I don’t know anymore..

     It is the normal bacteria in your body reacting to some chemicals, probably in your foods, but possibly pesticides. The human body has over 100 trillion individual bacterial cells composed of about 40,000 species. This is incredible in itself. Recent studies have shown that bacteria are capable of communicating, not only with each other, but with our brain. Bacteria differ from human cells, fungi and other micro-organisms in that they have cell walls.
     Bacteria are capaple of swarming, where they can move across surfaces in “clusters” or even form a slimy translucent coating and fiber that can attach the colony to something else. Morgellons sufferers frequently report fibers growing out of their bodies. When they pull these fibers off and send them to be identified, all you can see under a stereo microscope is a small hairlike fiber that is meaningless. One scientist, Vitaly Citovsky, Professor of Biochemistry and Cell Biology at Stony Brook University in New York, discovered that the fibers contain the substance Agrobacterium, a genus of gram-negative bacteria capable of genetically transforming not only plants, but also other species, including human cells. So the fibers MD sufferers complain about are real. They have found bovine DNA in some of the fibers, which means the antibiotics they feed cattle can be getting into your system. If you eat factory farm meat or drink milk, they are loaded with antibiotics and you will get the results you see.
     Some researchers are focusing on inflammatory bowel disorders to understand how the balance between the intestinal microbes and their human hosts becomes deranged. Incidence of diseases has sharply increased since about the mid-20th century, just about the time the industrialized world started eating highly processed foods and antibiotics came into widespread use. They started getting worse with the advent of genetically modified foods. Apparently the bacteria can affect the mental health of humans. For one thing, bacteria produce some of the same types of neurotransmitters that regulate the function of the human brain. The human intestine contains a network of neurons, and the gut network routinely communicates with the brain. Gut bacteria affect that communication. They can practice predation in packs by swarming as a group “cluster” over other microbes and dissolving cell walls.

     There is also the mental/emotional aspect (not delusional). In a very real sense you have two brains, one inside your skull and one in your gut. Interestingly, these two organs are actually created out of the same type of tissue. During our fetal development, one part turns into our central nervous system while the other develops into our enteric nervous system. These two systems are connected by the vagus nerve, which is the tenth cranial nerve that runs from our brain stem down to our abdomen. This brain-gut axis is what connects our two “brains” together and explains why we get an upset stomach when we get nervous, for example. Similarly, stress results in alterations of our brain-gut connection,which can contribute to gastrointestinal disorders. Stress can cause multiple chronic disease processes to occur, including Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, Osteoarthritis, Crohn’s Disease and many others including Morgellon’s Disease.

     Never eat CAFO (confined animal feeding operation) meats, which are typically pumped full of antibiotics which are toxic to bacteria. That would be all meat from a factory farm. This means almost all meat found in a supermarket or Walmart. If you have to eat meat, eat only meat from small farms or ranches. Never eat vegetables or fruits that have been sprayed with pesticides. If the vegetables and fruits don’t say 100% Organic on the label, don’t eat them. Don’t eat any food that contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs). One expert, Jeffrey Smith, links GMOs to toxins, allergies, infertility, infant mortality, immune dysfunction, stunted growth, and death. The chemicals in GMOs will wreak havoc on your gut bacteria and is probably why Morgellons is so prevalent now. Try to avoid all processed foods if at all possible. When foods are processed, they are processed with chemicals.

     Avoid eating sugar or products containing fructose. They will distort the ratio of good to bad bacteria in your gut and will help develop pathogenic bacteria, yeast and fungi that negatively inhibit the beneficial bacteria in your gut and may exacerbate your symptoms. Eat fermented foods if possible as they are a rich source of probiotics. We will have a list of good fermented foods to eat in an upcoming newsletter. If you can’t eat fermented foods, then take a good high-quality probiotic supplement.

     Don’t consume anything that contains aspartame, such as Equal or Nutrasweet. As a result of its unnatural structure, your body processes the amino acids found in aspartame very differently from a steak or a piece of fish. The amino acids in aspartame literally attack your cells, even crossing the blood-brain barrier to attack your brain cells, creating a toxic cellular overstimulation called excitotoxicity. Also wheat, dairy, and soy contain exceptionally high levels of glutamic and aspartic acid, which makes them all potentially excitotoxic. It is quite possible these chemicals are communicating false messages to your brain, indicating biting bugs that aren’t there.

     Don’t eat food out of cans or drink water or other beverages from plastic bottles. The lining of most metal cans has a thin plastic liner that contains bisphenol-A. Bisphenol-A, or BPA, is a chemical thought to increase the risk of infertility, cancer, diabetes, and even heart disease. This chemical is also in plastic bottles. While bisphenol-A may not be directly related to IBBS, it is a chemical that can have a adverse affect on people. There is no reason to weaken your immune system with any chemicals that can be avoided.

     - I bought some bolony from walmart and the name of it is barS and every since I found something white in it I quit eating it and it was shaped like a fish. I cant explain it but since we started eating it we noticed bugs crawling on us under the skin and those white things on our skin and they attach their selfes like a leech with tentacles and they are hard to remove and it really hurts trying to remove them and when I eat or touch food they come through my skin on my hands and they take the color of the food and doctors think i am crazy and one of them even watched while it was happening. What should i do and how can i clean my house and clothes Nd pets to get rid of this creepy crap?

       Posted by angela rudd | July 25, 2012, 8:19 pm

     - Those aren’t bugs in the bologna, as there aren’t any that would do as you described. What probably happened is that you had a reaction to the chemicals in the bologna and the bacteria in your body is moving under the skin and that is why you have a crawling sensation. Additionally it is most likely you have bundles of bacteria coming out through your pores and when you pick at them it feels scab-like. All you can do is to not eat any processed meats from Walmart or a supermarket. They are full of all kinds of chemicals that adversely affect some people. If you have to eat meat, only eat organic meat from a health food store or local rancher in your area if you have one. Never eat meat of any kind from Walmart.

     - So glad Mexico just outlawed GMOs, because I truly think that this is what causes Morgellon’s. That’s not what is wrong with me, but I feel so sorry for people who have it!

6. The Bugman is right on. I have a chemical sensitivity and this is exactly what happens. I had tremendous stress and drank approximately ten bottles of water a day that had been in the heat. The more I drank the thirstier I got-didn’t tie it together until it was too late. Now, I can not tolerate any chemicals or any sort. My latest reaction was when I got in a salt treated swimming pool that had been chlorinated unknowing to me.

7. I have these tiny biting bugs in my home as well. They are very VERY small. In fact, they are smaller than a grain of salt. They are sometimes red, black, and even grey in color. I live in a very old home and my windows and doors are not completely sealed. I did not see the bugs in the fall or winter but now that it is spring I see them quite frequently and feel them biting me all the time. I am looking into how to better seal my windows and doors and hope there is something that I can use to kill them. Please don’t think you are crazy just because your eyes may not be all that good and you cannot see them. Like I said, they are very very small.

   - If you have tiny bugs and you can see them, they are mites. Either bird mites or rodent mites depending on where you live and if you have pigeons on your roof or rodents in your home. If so, the best product to control them is Greenbug for Indoors, made from cedar, and perfectly safe. If you treat your home with Greenbug and the biting persists, then something else is going on, such as IBBS. Greenbug is available online at http://www.greenbugallnatural.com

8. I was at the beach over a week and a half ago. I as fine for a few days, but now I cannot seem to stop itching everywhere. When I do itch where there is nothing, a bump appears that seems to resemble a bug bite. They itch so bad, that I often cannot stop until they are bleeding. Could I have gotten something from the sand at the beach or the water? (I went up only to my knees). Could I have something inside me biting me? I know that sounds crazy. I also wash my sheets in hot water very often and take baths and soap up. I do not know what else to do. I take Benedryl for the itch at night, but that makes me so tired and after taking that I cannot accomlish anything.

   - You don’t say what beach you were at, but if it is the Pacific, it may have something to do with the radiation in the water from Japan if you are sensitive to it. I doubt if it is a bug or anything biting you from inside. I would guess you are have a reaction to a chemical as the chemical is disturbing your normal bacteria, which is causing the itch. It is also possible you are reacting to other chemicals you have been exposed to, possibly pesticides, and it has nothing to do with the beach.

     - I was on the Atlantic side. I went to the dermatologist yesterday and she said I have hives. She said it can be from the sun, but when I researched it, the parts exposed to the sun should have the hives, and that it not the case here. I am baffled at what it could be, but I haven’t slept in three nights because the itching is so bad. She put me on prednisone and I hoping that takes effect soon. I am trying to think of anything I could have eaten or did, but I cannot think of anything new. Thank you for taking the time to e-mail me back. I a guess I will head to the allergist to see what he can do.

   - The furniture itself could be giving off chemicals. There are all kinds of solvents and chemicals used in furniture manufacturing. I can tell you from experience that if you start scratching it will make those around you itch. Just start talking about head lice and everyone in the room will itch.

     - Where can you do a biopsy? How did you cure it in three months?

       Posted by ava | September 21, 2012, 1:18 am

     - Ava, I am leaving in the morning on a mission trip to Haiti so I will not have time to respond to you. Please post again in about 10 days to remind me and I will write you back. Don’t have your house bombed or use an exterminator unless you verify that you have a parasite. Don’t panic and get rid of everything and don’t spend a 1,000 dollars on stuff that is suppose to kill invisible bugs.First, go the medical route and see a dermatologist. Ask them to look at it under the microscope. Ask them to biopsy it . Even if they can not determine that it is a parasite they may want to try a medication just in case. I would not do that. You will just be adding to a chemical overload. I did that and it make me worse. They should be able to definitively determine if it is a parasite or a fungus etc. Be cautious about who you choose because some derm docs just do botox and skin care. You can also see an entomologist if you want to verify that you do or don’t have an insect and there are county extension services that can look under a microscope for you or if you can get a sample then the bug man will look at it for you. Now, this is what we did. Go off all animal products , (unless you can afford organic) and wash all your fruit with a wash from Walmart for getting pesticides off your produce. Eat raw as much as possible. Lots of salad and spinach, fruit etc. Lot of water. We used distilled. Beans and rice and we did do some wild caught salmon. We did a detox using high doses of enzymes. I got mine from Lucky Vitamin online. Solaray- SOD, Mega- ZYme by Enzymatic therapy and a liver detox tab…don’t recall. I took 8-10 of these tabs 3x a day. I also took a good probiotic. IF IT IS CHEMICAL, and you clean out your system you will begin to get better. , in my opinion. You can drive yourself crazy doing all this external stuff but the internal is just as important. I would be very hesitant about putting lots of stuff on your body like alcohol and other things that will break down your skins integrity. If you do that you are just opening yourself up to more damage. Your skin is the largest organ in your body and is designed to protect you.Also you have to consider that you may be being exposed to chemical from a source that you are not sure about. Many people have severe environmental sensitivities that they are not aware of. I would do research on what detergents you can use, etc. No suncreen, insect repellant, perfume, paint fumes etc. Try this first and give it some time and see if it helps. I truly believe that some folks try so much that this thing morphs into something else because of all the damage done to the tissue. I’m not saying this will work for you but it did for us and we had the black specs that changed into the fibers popping out and feeling like bugs crawling all over. It was not a bug but chemical. It won’t be easy to do this but what do you have to lose? The reason I continue to check this blog is because the explanation bugman gave was plausible and I want to help anyone else who goes through this. Very few people actually come back and let you know what happened. I think that is because it goes away and they move on.

9. I’ve seen those fiber-like things floating in the air and on my face, when I felt something crawling or itching my face. I t seems to get worse when I am around my friend. It almost seems like they are communicating, so I almost hate to be around my friend because I’m pretty sure she has the same thing. She admitted that she felt crawly, and was itching alot. I hate to stay away from my friend, but she won’t admit the problem. I thought it was some kind of lice or mite, and I’ve seem a few wierd looking things under microscope. Worm like things with a hook. Then I thought it was a hook worm, but I looking up a picture of one and didn’t resemble. I also found little white balls on my skin, I thought could be eggs, but don’t know. Ive seen alot of wormy shaped things. Alot of what you say seems to make sense. I have been getting sick from some of the cereals I have been eat, well most of them except fruity pebbles and cocao pebbles. I noticed they were gluten free…mabe thats why. I havent used any pesticides except pinsol and clorox bleach spray. I use pesticides on my cat and she is itching also. I am going to try and not eat any sugar tonight and see if that helps and try not eats GMO’s. Do you know what I could do beside isolating myself from family and friends?

   - Don’t use any pesticides on your cat as it isn’t good for her or for you. What you are seeing under the microscope may be clusters of bacteria that are leaving your body because of their exposure to some kind of chemical. Find other natural cleansers than PineSol or clorox and keep away from genetically modified foods and don’t eat any meat products from a supermarket or Walmart. Eat only organic meats if you have to eat meats and eat only certified organic vegetables and fruits.

   - I have exactly what you have. They look like little pieces of white hair and when I took pictures ay 36x optical zoom they look like fish hooks in my hair.. I have a spot on my skin that look like boomerangs or a crescent shapes under the skin clustered in an area. I itch. Iv’e been to dermatologist but that was a waste of money. She is a complete idiot. Ive lost hair and used everything known to man. I even put flea dip in my hair. I have what my dermatologist says is rosaecea. My hair strands move. I feel like medusa some days. I have to wear my hair slicked back unless I want to feel my hairs dancing on my head. My dog has them too. It’s God awful. I don’t know what else to try.

     - Ive also got hair issues, its falling out and moves like its alive. I notices this same thing happening to certain fibers in my home such as strings hanging from clothing. Also my couch pillow had the fiber from inside sticking straight up about 2 in. with a lint ball on top. When I went to touch it it moved away then stuck to my finger. Really freaky stuff. I think collembola bacteria is inside fibers causing this reaction. I have pics and samples of all the strange things I have encountered since I contracted what I believe to be Morgellons Syndrome. Sending happy hair vibes your way! Good Luck!

     - I know exactly what you are talking about. I have hair issues and also get the crescent shapes on my skin. The hair thing will drive you crazy. Please be careful. I have found that the frequency of movement in my hair will die down. Sometimes (for months) it will be strong, and then will subside a bit. I am sorry you are experiencing this. I can empathize with you. The crescent shapes just seem to appear from nowhere. What about yours? I am wondering how you are doing as i see you wrote in november of 2012. Also wondering where you live. I live in Washington. This thing, whatever it is, is destroying the quality of lives of so many people. I have a hard time wrapping my head around this situation. We really need to unite and support each other. I am looking for an avenue to do that. I cannot do this alone. There is so much more to this than bugs and bug bites, although that common thread does allow us to reach out with stories. I currently am having problems with facial swelling while i sleep. Does anyone have any insight to that? Please respond. Thanks and stay strong.

     - I have posted on this site before unfortunately, I confused myself an d thought another site was this one. It’s called “what’s that bug?” an d responded over there. I would like to know about Jason from Oct. 2013 and Kelly Buurman. I have much to share. What he calls claws , i cal Mr. Whispy hands” which sfe vrown in our hair. I took photos with small hand held microscope they open an d close a shoot out a stringy sybstance, usually white or pink. I believe they have done something to my eyes. It actually helps in seeing them. It’s as if we are underwater. Mostly things around them are yellowish H2O but they eat that white fluffy stuff which I believe are somehow made from our dead skin cells. Having worked in research for all types of veterinary medicine for 25 years from genetic reproduction ,to orthopedics to …..too many to name. So I try to investigate this the same way. I have photos of much of these blogs. Where can I talk to Kelly or Jason. Especially Jason since his blog was dated Oct. 2, 2013 . I would like to know how he is. I have all of the electrical things some people are writing about and one thing extremely helpful and hold them in place is MAGNETS! My boyfriend has Mogellons too. (Or whatever we have) We have some strong magnets from work and when the crawling and headaches get to be too much, slowly run a magnet over your body.If you can have someone else do this it’s amazing and you FEEL THE HEAVYNESS COMING OUT OF YOUR BODY. There will be weird things on the magnet so every once in a while get a towel a wipe it off but then immediately place in a container (preferably glass or thicker as they go through some plastic and all cardboard) start on your back. The main place for me where they gather are the top of my spinal chord. When we do this to each other aS always fall asleep from relief - and thats after only half (our back) are done. Another important place is the bottom of feet and tips of toes, same witb palms of hand and fingertip. Something must add…this does not make them happy and they Harry back but I think they are angry because there are so many of them and it takes much work for them to get inside us
       I get a headache when they try to return through the top of my head. I can also excrete part of them bt pinching my nose and barring down hard such as childbirth. Do it I st a shiny floor or acha carpet and you can see the ground will look different as they some out in something that looks like fog with tentacles. I probably won’t see them. I do occasionally. Especially since this weird eye problem that my ophthalmologist said there is a dark spot way on the back of my eye. He said he “I think I know what it is but i would rather not say at this time. Do you get headaches or see strange things like diamond shape, maybe connected together as one? Like a chain link fence)”Doctors cAnnot say anything or they will be called crazy like SO MANY people before them. Look at Tesla I’m not sure If I spelled correctly. The gentleman that discovered lectricity and wanted free electricity for everyone? Instead G.E. went with Edison so they could get $$ for electricity. He knew SO Much but everyone with a small, closed mind thought he was crazy. Where can I post a few photos. Finally, i would like to apologize gor all my mistakes. I’m typing on my Smartphone and the entire alphabet takes only half of the screen. That and my failing eyesight is a recipe for disaster! LOL!!

    - I would recommend staying away from all pesticides and other chemicals as they are reacting with normal bacteria in your body causing the bite-like sensation. This can also be caused by chemicals in food so I would avoid any genetically modified foods and any meats from a supermarket or Walmart. Eat only organic foods for awhile and the symptoms should subside.

11. As I said, it could be food related or it may be a skin disorder. You may want to have a dermatologist look at it for you.

12. It can’t be a bug if nobody sees any, including the exterminator. He should have optical equipment necessary to see small things. If something was biting everyone on a piece of furniture like a couch, it could be some kind of biting mite, like a rat mite or bird mite. They won’t infest your car or office. Maybe you have no-see-ums in your area. They are very small flies that can fit through a screen and when they bite, you don’t feel anything for 45 minutes to an hour later, which would explain the “bites” in the car and at your office. They will also bite anyone in the house. You can Google them for more information. They call them biting midges (family Ceratopogonidae). That is the only bug it could be. If that isn’t it, it has to be some kind of chemical reaction but I can’t explain why other people have it unless they react the same way as you to certain chemicals.

13. You need to get your money back from the exterminator. It is illegal to apply pesticides if there isn’t a target pest. If other people are exposed to the same chemical they can have a similar reaction. The other possibility is that you mention your sensations and they think they have them. If you say lice in a crowded room and start scratching, most everyone else will do the same thing.. While your condition is physical from chemicals, others are having mental reactions. If there is a common chemical in the room, it may affect the dog as well.

14. My heart goes out to everyone who has been affected by this horrible skin condition: Morgellons. I have found a very informative web site that has been put together by a scientific researcher in New Mexico. It is very important information that you, your family, and your loved ones must know about.

15. Hi, I think these invisible bugs are Demodex mites. These mites are very hard to kill but TTO seems to do the trick. I’ve had this itching problem for 15 years and finally after a lot of searching found the answer and trying to help other people cos I know how this can play with your head.
    It’ll take around 3 months to kill all adults and eggs but you’ll see results in the first week.
    Don’t give up and try not to get stressed as the mites get worse when your amune system gets weak.

    Check out this link and good luck.

    - Demodex or follicle mites are found on almost everyone, especially as you get older. They live in the follicles along your hairline and in your eyebrows. They feed on bodily secretions and don’t bite and are rarely even noticed. However in rare cases they can become overabundant for several reasons and become a pest. Usually this is caused by a person’s immune system being compromised. What causes immune systems to be compromised? A variety of things, including exposure to certain chemicals. While follicle mites may be an incidental cause of IBBS, there are other factors to look out for as discussed on this blog. Killing the mites won’t solve the problem of a compromised immune system. It will only hide a symptom of it.

16. I feel that sometimes in life we have a dip in our immune system and thats when the mites latch on. Then it becomes a catch 22. The mites increase your stress levels, your immune system gets worse and so on.

    The Demodex mite is harming a lot of people and its not being taken seriously. Doctors ignore the symptoms and think that its all in our head. Its not in our head, its real and its hurting people. You are right, don’t use chemicals because it will damage your immune system and it will not kill these mites especially the eggs.
    I believe that if you get rid of the mites the immune system will pick up but you have to take care of yourself.

    Good luck to you all I know how it feels and its not in your head its real.

    - For over 15 years I’ve felt crawling on my face, scalp & legs, I’ve seen a lot of doctors who tell me its in my head. so I decided to do my own research and thanks to a lot of people putting in there experiences I can honestly say that the invisible bug for me is the Demodex mite. Its 0.02mm long and lives in your hair follicles. this mite feeds during the day time and comes out at night to breed and lay eggs.

      Women suffer from this more because of their make up, these mites love it and if you don’t cleanse properly before you go to bed they will be attracted to you. This mite lives on most people but your immune system deals with most of them so the host feels nothing, but if your immune system is weak due to stress or illness then the mites get out of control and thats when the problems start. I can blab on all day but now i want to share what I’ve done in the last 3 weeks and hope it can be of help. research has proven that tee tree oil is the only natural way that kills the mites and that the eggs are immune to all pesticides.
      this is what i did:
      I bought
      1) Tea tree oil shampoo
      2) Tea tree oil soap
      3) 100% Tea tree oil essential oil. (has to be 100%)
      4) Carrier oil (i used Olive oil)

      And that is all you need. do NOT spray chemicals as this weakens your immune system and does not kill the eggs of this mite, so there is no point.
      save your cash, just hoover at least once a week and dust with a wet cloth as much as you can. this mite can’t live without a host for more than 3 days.

      I started by making sure i wasn’t allergic to TTO (tea tree oil) by putting a small amount on my hand and waiting 10 mins to see if there is any reaction.
      I then mixed 50% TTO and 50% Olive oil and rubbed it all over my body.I did that for 3 weeks but only ONCE a week. Left it on for 25mins. Made sure not to get it in my eyes or swallow any.
      After 25mins I washed it off with the TTO shampoo and soap.
      That will kill most of the adults but the eggs will still there.
      I keep washing with the shampoo and soap in the morning and before bed for a week, then just in the morning for 2 weeks, but made sure I washed my face with the soap every morning and night.
      I threw away my pillow and washed all my bedding and towels in the machineI put 10 drops of 100% TTO in the rinse cycle.
      Changed Pillow cover every 2 days and linen twice a week.

      I still felt the odd bite here and there but that is the eggs hatching. I am going to carry on with the shampoo and soap for a total of 3 months to make sure all eggs are gone and then just maintain with tea tree oil products just once a week.
      I’ll update you once the 3 months are done or any changes before.

      Tea tree oil really worked for me but if you try this please be careful not to get it in your eyes. if you do rinse with warm water and DO NOT DRINK THIS STUFF it will mess you up.

      If you do try this method please reply to this and let us know how you did or if you did something different.

      - how is your invisible mite problem. my wife and I are suffering the same problem for the past month.

        Posted by Bob Lewis | August 1, 2013, 6:46 pm

      - THis is Morgellons Disease. Its a bug. It afflicts of 325 million people now in the USA alone. The release a fungus in the body and quickly infest. Taking care of the digestive system, the skin the environment and the clothing are key. Contact genesallnaturalproducts dot com for help. They have helped me and while Im not 100% better, I am getting better every day.

        Further, I was using a great product by Gordon Stamp and running out. IT IS WORKING. He was just raided by the FDA last month for his Enzyme that breaks down the exo-skeleton of the bug in the body and on the skin.

        THIS ILLNESS IS KILLING PEOPLE. DOCTORS SAY WE ARE DELUSIONAL because the CDC is lying to the public. There are different strains of this. IT IS A BUG, it was invented by Monsanto. Their Round-Up product is one of the culprits and they know about this. A retiree has come forward, from what I have learned. No buts about it Mr. Bugman. Time to wake up. THIS IS CONTAGiOUS. IT IS DIABOLICAL and designed to lower the population.

        Happy to help.

      - Maybe yours is morgellons however mine is not. I don’t have different colored threads coming from my body or any threads for that matter. I have tiny black mold spores that bite extremely hard and yeast spores that bite also. Did you know that morgellons to doctors is considered “all in your head”. Mine is NOT in my head I have the bites too prove it they are under the skin and they leave their impression when you get them out by pulling them out but there are so many you could never pull them all out. There are thousands in every pore every organ every orifice. I have a systemic fungal infection that doctors won’t admit or cure.

        Posted by Fed up | August 4, 2013, 7:17 pm

      - What has you tried for the systemic fungus? Have you tired VSL#3 or Threelac?

        Posted by Debbie | August 4, 2013, 9:37 pm

      - No I have not tried either of those but I have tried all kinds of homeopathic mixtures to supplements to prescription ketoconazol and diflucan both long term. Now I’m trying the biotin and olive oil I’ve done the lemon ph balancing thing the borax al lot of things but not the two you speak of. I feel like this will eventually be the death of me. As nothing works. Which saddens me greatly!

        Posted by Fed up | August 4, 2013, 10:08 pm

      - I am so sorry! I know that the systemic yeast killers did help my daughter. She has to be on a rigid sugar free diet, low carb to keep the yeast at bay. IT does feel just like bugs swarming when it is flared up. We went through the whole process of treating the house and body for chemicals but that did not help. For her it has all been diet. Good probiotics can help.

      - Tried many nothing lasting long.. benedryl does help during the evening I take children’s liquid. As soon as I open eyes I feel it. I do not see anything. Used a number of things. Tree tree oils banking soda salt peroxide d-earth steam cleaning, bleach, neem oil, listerine borax. Nothing stopped it. Never seen any bites or lesions. Scrubbed skin with various exfoliation and brushes. Worse in my bed when I am still or laying down. Sometimes in my car. Sometimes not. Sometimes in a hotel other times not. Some public places with lots of wood department stpres. I thinling mold or pesticides. Went to movies…nothing new vinyl seats but when it was cloth awful! Cigarette smoke aggravates If I around It. Caffine. Computers make it we worst like static electricity. They do seem to communicate. Popping feeling like synapses. Start and end on another part of body not so much bites but crawling stinging on face upper body scalp when laying down. Legs feet especially when wearing jeans or close fitting matetial. Wonder if my husband has it he says he does not feel nothing.. my kids saythey do not feel nothing. Out of six of us I am the only one in the past three years. I can hear it popping took adderall 3 years before stopped taking it. No symptom 2 months. Went away. Then came back. About to go extremely healthy fittness program and pray. Lord reveal tje source or sources.

      - I don’t have the hairs coming out of me either. Morgellons is not always hairs or filaments or whatever. Im an artist, I can see, I have a microscope and I can actually draw these things. They are so small, they eat fungus in the body. They can live outside the body. I had it identified as Collembola or the springtail flea. there are several different version of this illness. Im getting better slowly. But, getting better. Enzymes are key, since this begins with digestion and killing the parasites there. They come out of the skin. Treating from the inside out is what is working slowly. And unfortunately, Gordon, who was helping people has involuntarily had to stop making the product due to his new affilliation with the FDA.

        Im going to give nutrasilver a try. Ill let you know how it goes. Hope you feel better.

        Posted by CollembolaChick | August 5, 2013, 12:42 pm

      - Your right.. I suffered with the bites … The crawling under my skin.. I did a million and one things. I went to the dermatologist two different times he didn’t believe me. Then finally I ordered TEA TREE OIL and mixed it with Extra Virgin olive oil. Put it all over me in the shower. I did this each night for a week…. To my surprise it works… I am Free at Last. It is wonderful to feel normal again.. I am keeping my TEA TREE OIL and if they come back I know what to do now… Thanks to everyone who told me about TEA TREE OIL…

17. Bugman, please don’t discredit this woman’s situation as being in her head or caused by some chemical. This is real. My children and I have suffered from this for two years. My child with eczema seems to suffer more. they leave welts, they itch like crazy, and they sometimes hurt as they’re biting you. I’ve tried everthing and prayer. Today I’ve received my all natural, cedar wood oil based spray. Hopefully this ends our problem and helps you as well.

18. I just recently had a Robin build her nest on our porch. Once the babies left the nest- I could see what looked like a pile of dirt blow away from the nest. After I started to clean the “dirt” I noticed that the tiny grains were moving in opposing directions- and I realized they were mites.

    I had my husband remove the nest- by putting it in a bag and knotting it shut. He threw it in the garbage can on Saturday, and on Sunday when he took out the cans he said that the brown “dirt” was all over the handles of the can.

    On Monday I brought in the cans and many of them were still on the handle.

    On Tuesday I brought in packages that were on the porch and after I opened the boxes and had several of the items out on my coffee table for about an hour- I noticed 1 little (now white) flake on one of the purses- and it was moving. (freak out) So I sprayed the purse with Lysol and the mite stopped moving. Then I threw all of the items in the freezer for 5 hours. After inspecting the items, I couldn’t find anymore mites.

    After a day I realized the boxes were still in the house. (2nd freak out) So I grabbed them and threw them far out in the yard.

    Then I saw another white bug near where the boxes were in my house. I sprayed mite spray- and it stopped moving. Then I threw everything in that general area in the freezer.

    I have 3 dogs and I haven’t seen any mites on them. And, I don’t think many of them ended up making it in the house.

    With that being said- ever since I saw that tiny mite- I have felt creepy all over my body. And, I am confident that it is in my mind. So, I sympathize with the other contributors.

    If these bird mites were able to feed on humans I think I’d have a much larger problem.

    I think the people that are complaining of bugs on their skin have another type of bug or mite/lice in there house.

    Because the typical bird mite needs access to bird blood to survive longer than 6 weeks and they absolutely need it to breed. The babies that hatch also need bird blood. So, you are looking at 9-12 weeks of live bugs max- unless the mites have access to live birds, mice, or their carcuses. It’s science people.

    I’m not saying you don’t have bugs - you probably do- it’s just that they are probably lice, fleas or bed bugs.

    In that case you need to powder and bag all furniture and mattresses, freeze all clothing and treat all living things (that could feed the bugs) in the house for lice.

    If you are in an apartment you need to assume that your neighbors could be feeding the bugs- either with themselves or live or dead animals.

    In that case I’d call the health dept and make a complaint. Or ask to be moved to a new unit.

    Thousands of households have lice and flea infestations every year and the vast majority successfully eliminate the critters.

    You are not special in the bugs eyes or in nature.

    But, if you are hosing yourselves with poison and caustic chemicals on a daily basis then you may convince yourself that you are different.

    You may also want to have your home tested for mold. It can cause paranoia.

    I hope this helpful and not offensive to anyone.

    Best of luck!

    - If there are really bugs there you can get rid of them by fogging the room with Greenbug for Indoors (www.greenbugallnatural.com), or by calling a competent professional pest manager. Any pest can be controlled once it is identified.

    - this is absolutely my case as well. the bug just targets me and i have my back as a battle field. i tried to put some sprays and this one flying insect (very tiny and super fast) cant be targeted. (only one insect over two years never seen many and has been biting my back all the time in the evening) i have started waking up early in the mornings and don’t get the sleep afterwards. i think this is very serious bug. the reason i came to this page is to see if someone has the same problem and i found this page through web. this is my first time writing out some like this, so someone could help me with my situation. we might plan to move out of this appartment at the end of this year. but i beleive this super fast fly will be here ever biting. i am kind of already learning the characteristics of this insect. i can only see it once a week. especially if the guy would decide to fly in front of you after the bit and your attack. mostly he tries to take the same spot he used to bit for the whole week. so i got strong insect bites.

      i stopped spraying any repellents as it starts biting my little one if i cant be reached. so for now serving it every day.

    - We had bought a new Lounge Chair for me… We had Scotch guard put on it . They delivered it that evening I set in it, after about a half hour, I started jumping like something was biting me. I said this chair must have been in a ware house with bugs, or I am allergic to something in it… My husband took the Lounge Chair and went and bought me another one. Today that chair has not bothered him… That was when It happened to me .It Looks like little specks of pepper under my skin and it itches so bad. All at once I will get a bite. I have tried so hard to get it out it isn’t black head it is something that was in my skin .. Now I am Free I used Green TEA OIL mixed it with Extra Virgin olive Oil.. Put it on me in the shower for about 20 minutes for a week.. The little Black specks of pepper is gone and my skin is smooth as silk again. I went to the Dermatologist twice.. He didn’t believe me.. He didn’t even look … I went back again in 6 months I couldn’t take anymore. He gave me the same old psoriasis meds I have. Thanks for this site here

20. Dear Bugman. Just want you to know that your being there has meant so much to me. I have read almost everything on your websites. I have no pet (although my friend who has a dog at her own home came to watch movies with me on a regular basis and I believe she was a carrier). Cleaned everything. Tried everything. Repeated everything. Decided I would ask the exterminator to stop coming because he said he couldn’t identify any bug I had given him on scotch tape, and I am sure you are right about not using all the poisonous sprays which compromise your immune system. I have markings of bites but am old (85) and have many “age spots”, too, so it is difficult to tell what were bites and what were not. I have not wanted to spend anymore money for any service or product and especially have avoided going to dermatologists almost all who say it is all in your head. I spray alcohol on bites when I first feel them and that stops any itching. Have had to not mention this happening to anyone but the very closest of family as I have become a hermit and lost friends. Finally the taking Benedryl or an allergy pill seems to be starting to work for me (just a few days consumption by me so far). I take vitamin supplements and a blood pressure pill but no other medicines. It seems ridiculous that the antihistimine could be what works as I’ve been positive that the infestation was fleas. Maybe it still is fleas. After reading all the comments in the testimonies and it seemed the only things that worked for those infested were those few that said they had taken Benedryl or an Antihistimine for allergies. Haven’t tried “Greenbug” which you mentioned but think I will buy it and have it on hand for my routine cleaning etc. It’s been a very depressing experience but I still have hope that it is coming to an end. Thanks, Bugman, for all the help. From DrivenToDistraction.

    - Don’t get discouraged. My daughter was exposed to chemicals but just like many others thought she had an infestation of some type of small mite or insect. She had fibers coming out of her body and felt something biting her constantly. After much medical treatment, we were fortunate to find this blog. We cleaned up her environment and put her on a strict diet. She basically went off all meat and dairy because she could not afford organic food. We wash all fruit and vegetable with a anti pesticide wash from Walmart. After three months all her symptoms left. We also did lots of digestive enzymes in addition to a good powdered flora for the stomach. (acidophilous/bifidus) All these things will boost your immune system and help you overcome the toxicity.

    - If the foods contained chemicals or grapes were exposed to pesticides, I can see that being a possibility. It depends on your immune system and how strong it is.

    - Rub some Vaseline on the area. If you have scabies or chiggers, the Vaseline will smother them. Mites are air breathing organisms, so you can smother them with Vaseline and probably other creams. Don’t use any pesticides as that may make matters worse.

23. Demodex mites are serious problems for some of us. It is hard to get through the evenings without feeling them crawl or bite (yes, they do bite & leave small red dots) Tea Tree Oil in a 50/50 mixture with mineral oil or olive oil is absolutely great. Diatomatious Earth powder (only food grade) sprinkled on your body where you feel them will kill them too = this is a natural pesticide and can be sprinkled anywhere. DE scratches the bugs outer layer and ultimately they dry out. Salt Soap (hand poured, NOT milled) is great to wash your face and use in the shower, as well as any MSM lotion and Sulfur Soap or lotion. God bless us for struggling through this. It is a costly avenue, both financially and mentally. I have encouraged my family to at least use salt soap in their showers and tea tree shampoo, but it is difficult to ask them to do more, especially if they don’t feel anything….yet. I pray they never go through this.

    - There are two kinds of mites. Sucking mites (Anoplura) which can only feed on bodily fluids, and biting lice (Mallophaga) which can bite. Demodex mites are sucking lice and are not capable of biting humans as they don’t have the kind of mouthparts needed for biting. Occasionally when someone has a suppressed immune system, Demodex mites can cause demodicosis, which produces itching and inflammation. You can also get inflammation of the eyelids from Demodex mites as they are usually most common in the eyebrows.

      - Hello,

        My boyfriend and I have all these bumps all over us. We get them at night and they are in our privates, on our stomachs and legs. Everywhere. The bites are skin colored bumps at first that turn red and are fairly small. They do not hurt but they itch like crazy. They have a small pin hole in the middle of them. We have looked all over our bed for signs of bed bugs but there aren’t any. It started about two months ago. We constantly wash our bedding and spray once a week but it doesn’t help, maybe for a day, but that could be in our heads. The weirdest thing is that we go out of town often and during our leaves we get no bites. When we get home, however, it is just as bad again immediately. We can’t see any bugs and it is just weird.

        One theory we have is that our bed is in the basement and there is a ground level window right above it that has grass growing right beside it. We think maybe chiggers are getting in on our bed, because we often open the window for fresh air. We also have a black lab but we never see fleas, other than a few here and there. I’ve seen a flea infestation before and it was different than this.

        Please, any help anyone can give will be amazing.

      - I doubt if it is chiggers. Rat mites or bird mites are more likely. Do you have pigeons or any other birds roosting on your home or have you had a problem with rodents? I would get a professional to totally inspect the area and try to determine what the problem is.

24. Every night for the past 2 weeks I have felt like bugs are crawling all over my skin (inc. private area). I have bites on my chest, abdomen, shoulders, bicept/tricept areas and back. The bites itch and the crawling feeling is starting to keep me up at night. Last night I pulled a red thing off my skin (a little smaller than a grain of rice) thinking it was a piece of skin. I turned on my lights to see what it was and I decided to flick it off my bed. I didn’t go that far and I noticed it left a red stain behind. Intrigued I picked it up and rolled it on my sheets and it left a red stain trail from where I rolled it. (photos: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/oupbd . also http://www.freeimagehosting.net/ljj6v )

    I went to the doctor this morning because the red thing just put me over the edge and I was diagnosed with bed bugs (because of the red thing I found). The doctor told me that bed bugs can leave a red stain trail but I feel like my bites don’t have the same characteristics of bedbugs. For example from what I read online bed bugs bite the legs, have big welds and you can’t feel them on you. I feel crawling, have no bite marks on my legs and the ones on my shoulder aren’t huge welds.
    ( photo of bites on my shoulder http://www.freeimagehosting.net/cu4hg )

    Also I looked between the seams of my mattress and between my mattress and the box spring only to find no bed bugs. After reading through other peoples posts I got intrigued with the rat mites. Last year we had a rat infestation and killed them with the rat poison pellets although I didn’t have the biting feeling then and I am the only one who has it now.

    Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

    - Could be rat mites. Doesn’t sound like bed bugs. I would get a professional to inspect your house and bed to see if they can find any mites and treat accordingly. Mites are small, but they aren’t invisible, so a good inspector should be able to determine if this is what you have. Also, read this entire blog and make sure you aren’t suffering from some kind of chemical exposure.

25. Seen the Bugman Monday, he did reconize the “one insect” as being in the bird louse family. But could not give a 100% id on which because the antennas were not well enought perserved.The second bug, He first said it was not a insect or it did not have enought reconizable parts.

    - Bird lice don’t bite people so it wouldn’t matter if that is what it was. Actually they rarely, if ever, get on mammals. Bird mites will bite people occasionally.

26. ThanksBm for the reply……Dermatologist not much help other then he said it had the habits of Body lice (Pediculus humanus corporis) and looked similar but was not. Dr.Albert Wong. Did reconize one of the samples as a egg/lavre. Being in the area I work could have been a factor on how these were obtainted he said, a envorimental issue. Also seen a friend who is a doctor of 33 years, Dr. Neil Pagent, said these things he has only seen happen in foreign countrys, travelers of and a few foreign patients. Had to fill out papers on this visit and give samples of…this could go higher he said if it is what he thinks. Bad is now it seems to be with several of my friends and coworker, I have a appoint friday to stay off work and stop my spread of these.

    - I have lived all over the world including countries like Iran, Uruguay, all over Europe and have travelled to most of the rest. I also considered this but the last time I was overseas was about 3 years ago. I was in Turkey,Germany and Switzerland. I believe they may have started back then but only now, in the last year have thery gotten to this stage of the cycle. I’ve tried everything possible to get rid of them. I’ve been to specialist f infectious diseases and to the church. There are ways to keep them a little at bay but nothing to rid them. I used to have long blond hair down my back. It’s now 1/2 inch long on the back half of my head. It’s possible it broke off back when I poured bleach, cider venigar, and a number of other thing on it but it will not grow back. They keep it short.

      You may start to think it’s something supernatural but just REMEMBER, you aren’t crazy. (At least not because of this. LOL!) I wish you well

27. I had 2 exterminators come out who brought no optical equipment. 2 others on the phone offered no optical equipment. Bacteria and viruses kill people everyday, but you cannot see them without a powerful microscope.
    Think about buying a USB microscope on one of the shopping sites. $ 60. Nobody is going to solve this problem for you!! You have to take charge and do the research to get a picture of the bug, or samples of the dead bodies. And, we all have to share techniques to help each other when we have some success. Keep working on it. & Good Luck.

    - The problem is that you have to microscope slides, covers and medium to properly mount whatever you find if you want it examined by a professional. Any mites or insects can be seen with a good hand lens. If you have something so small it needs a microscope, it isn’t a bug or mite, it is a bacteria or similar single-celled animal.

    - Not sure what they are without seeing them, but they certainly aren’t human parasites. Probably just the immature stage of some insect in the area. Send me a some specimens if you want and I will ID them for you.

    - No, the chlorine will not kill them. Are they somewhat flat and their tail is like a forked tongue? Also, when excited (or actually happy) tey will bend. The bending always reminds me of a smiling face. LOL! I have fed them to see what they eat and the eat our skin cells, ead or alive (among other things) but they are happy when they. (or they just respond to my voice) see me coming with sugar. They are actually friendly.

29. Every year for the past 5-6 years, in mid-August (literally August 15th for the past two years), I start getting bites. My doctor said they were mosquito bites, but I get those, and these are not mosquito bites. They start out small, with a central “point” you can feel with your finger. If I scratch them (try not to) or my clothing rubs against them, they get puffed up and red like a mosquito bite. Over a 1-2 week period they continue to itch, but the bump flattens out and the red patch gets darker and larger, sometimes almost 2 inches across. Then the patch and the itching fades away. Each year I go through two “bouts” of these bites, one in August, one in September.

    These bites itch so much I have trouble concentrating on anything. I feel like cutting off my skin. Or just driving my truck into a brick wall. I get them at night, during the day, at home, in my car, at work. My wife sleeps next to me and doesn’t get them at all; neither do our two kids. Our two cats are indoor cats, and show no signs of any infestation or skin condition. I am, however, one of those people who always seems to get bitten when nobody else is. My wife jokes that she brings me to outdoor events to keep the bugs away from her.

    The bites always show up in the area from mid-thigh to lower back. Never any on my genitals. I woke up Aug 15 with 2 of them. By yesterday morning I had about 7 or 8. I’ll probably have more by the time I get undressed tonight. I’ve tried various anti-itch creams, both corticosteroid-based and calamine/pramoxine-based. The creams seem to help for a little while, for maybe 10-30 minutes the itching is dulled and I can deal with it. But then it comes back. Sometimes I do experience a “crawling” sensation as has been described in some of the other comments.

    I never had anything like this before 5-6 years ago. My brother-in-law who does a lot of swimming in fresh water said he gets them too, in the late summer when the water warms up and some kind of algae or parasite multiplies. But I haven’t been in fresh water at all this year. I’ve gone in the ocean twice and in a swimming pool twice.

    My diet hasn’t changed much since before I started getting whatever these are. I’m trying to eat less processed foods, and less food in general (to lose weight). That being said, I have no idea what might have changed in the foods I eat without my knowledge (new pesticides, new antibacterials, etc.)

    The only thing I can think of which has ever bothered me this much is a period of time earlier in my life when I had “itchy anus”, which drove me nuts for quite a while. That eventually went away.

    I’m going to try TTO; it was also recommended by someone I work with. I’ll let you know how it goes.

      - Wow, i thought my dog had fleas and he gave it to me because he sleeps next to me.

        I am relieved that there is so much feedback on this website, after only sleeping a total of 45 minutes last night because of the non-stop biting and itching on my scalp, and entire body. I have been dealing with this problem for a few months and from doing everything the wrong way i suffered my first attack last night, of course that was also after sparying Cutter Advanced bug spray all over me, like six times a day, since Friday night.

        I kept taking these red and black dots off of me as i felt each painful sting, what looked liked larve, their was white specs, some type of cotton fibers falling from my hair and stinging me as it landed on my body. it has not goitten to my vaginal area yet, and i dont want it to. Does this sound like IBBS? If so, my dog definitely has it too and could anyone provide tips on what to do for him?

        Posted by Help Me and My Dog Please!!! | September 25, 2012, 7:18 pm

      - It definitely sounds like IBBS. Try to follow the recommendations on these posts about diet, drinking lots of water, and not exposing yourself or your dog to any chemicals, including pesticides. It may take a while for the symptoms to subside, but I am confident they will.

        Posted by askthebugman | September 25, 2012, 10:39 pm

    - I am not sure if you still have this condistions or if you’ll even read this reply ,I’ve said this in two other replys and it’s worth a shot for you to try , there are herbs you can take that may very well kill and clean your whole body out of any parasetic conditions , also try taking a bath with a tea tree oil , it helps with the itching and will kill anything under the skin , hopefully it will for you , look up herbal cures , not all doctor or over the counter prescriptions will cure a person they weren’t meant to .

      That’s why most things have a pill that will treat a condition but won’t fully cure you and the side effects are to many , herbs will be my only answer to anything posted on this site , unless it comes to killing household bugs

    - After paying several $40 co-pays to my PCP and a dermatologist, my biopsy result: “insect bite reaction”. Thank you very much. Any chance they can tell me what type of insect? No. Any ideas why this only happens during a very specific part of the year? No. Anything other than the $15 prescription steroid jelly (which does nothing) that I can put on them? No.

      Another person I work with has similar bites on her stomach. She thinks they’re spider bites.

      One day a couple of weeks ago I was sitting on the toilet, and something ran out of my shorts and down my leg. I think it was a centipede. There are spiders and centipedes in my office at work. Could I have baby centipedes in my clothing or something? I got bit on my arse again, while driving in my car, so it had to be something that was already in my pants. As noted, sometimes I feel like things are crawling on me. This is driving me fucking nuts.

      - Weird thing: After the biopsy done by the dermatologist, I had a couple of stiches on my abdomen. When I got home I put some neosporin on the area and covered it with a bandage. Within a day, all around the edges of the bandage, there were a bunch of “bites”. As if whatever wanted to get out from under the bandage and away from the neosporin.

        Posted by itchyscratchy | October 20, 2012, 5:40 am

    - I’m all set.. until next August. A mixture of TJ’s Vit E Oil and TTO faded the bites and itching quickly. Physicians and dermatologists were useless IMHO. I had an interesting conversation with another IBBS sufferer a few days ago, and when she learned that I lived next to a farm, she asked “Do they spray?” They do. And the orchard is one house away from me. I’m going to find out what they spray, and if whatever it is was changed about 5-6 years ago when this condition started.

      - Except: my ears are incredibly itchy now, and sort of “wet” inside, but with dry patches. Did the bites move to my ears? I told my doctor that my left ear hurt, and she looked at it and said there was some dry skin. I think I’m going to get a new doctor.

    - I hope this will help you there are cures for cancer but I don’t want to give you false hope , I know most people will stick to chemotherapy , there are herbs that can replenish the body and very well might kill the cell causing cancer , I’ve been doing a lot of research and reading everything I can because of the mysterious crawling itching red bite feeling I’ve had for 3 months.

      I came across a list of natrual herbal cures for things including cancer , because I’ve never had cancer I can’t garentee it’ll work but it’s worth a shot , I hope you get better and you win the fight with cancer , I’ll keep you in my prayers .

31. I’ve had the so-called Morgellons condition for over 10 years, but didn’t recognize it as that until after it was named and people were posting online. In the earl years, I asked several doctors to check me (for some kind of bug), to no avail. Then, when I realized that my symptoms matched those of other people (and the sores and entities looked similar), I began to use magnification and saw the red, blue and black strings and larva-like things. When they were really dramatic, I’d save specimens. Again, over the years, I was rejected by doctors who all gave me an identical line: “I can’t help you.” Shocking to hear from doctors, who, you’d think, would at least be curious. Then recently, one dermatologist saw the entities herself, right on my body and on the tissue that she used to rub an area. She agreed to send some specimens to her colleague to be analyzed. I provided very good material, all labeled for what kind of entity (of the several that appear) and from what part of my body. Some time later, the result was in: “Nothing except normal body material.” The doctor I’d given it to knew that this was false, but didn’t say much. After all, the CDC has issued a statement that the condition called Morgellons doesn’t exist. I’d like to point out something important to anyone with skin itching, etc. This particular condition is internal; it’s not really a surface skin problem per se. It manifests on the skin when the entities are close to the surface, causing the itching. But “they” are inside ears, nostrils, throat, (I’ve removed and seen the entities from these areas) and who knows where else in the body. The condition frustrates the victims terribly especially because of the medical rejections. I’m used to it now and just doing my best for my body. I think that Richard has done his best in his explanation. I wonder when the truth will be revealed.

32. I know all about chemicals, i was exposed to them and had to eradicate all chemicals and processed/take-out foods from my home to survive an exposure that killed many of my coworkers and still afflicts me. That said I’ve never had a bug infestation with the exception of ants that were looking for water and dealt with those using Orange spray. However, recently I found a cluster of 3 pattern on my ankle and two months and about a hundred horribly itchy bites later, I’ve completely changed my eating patterns, cancelled and rescheduled multiple doctors appointments due to embarrassment (none of them with specialists who would know what this is) and my sleep schedule to stay awake as much as possible, I keep my lights on 24/7.. I think my modifications have made them hungry because now they’re hanging out where I can see them at times.

    I have FINALLY started to find what LOOKS like ants. Very small ones. They are long, soft-bodied and seem like newborn ants ‘to the eye’ (i expected round bodied spider looking bed bugs or the like so this is a surprise). I flush them away with water down the sink immediately so it can’t bite my fingers when I grab them, but this isn’t helping me figure out what it is. I have placed tape nearby now to grab and ‘stick’ on whatever it is so I can have a much better look and maybe even get a picture.

    This is very disturbing. They DO seem to be drawn to paper as I had some fresh printed materials and some newspaper recycle area and found a few in there. I don’t know if it was the lack of disturbance that they liked or something about the paper/printed material that they liked. But - getting rid of something that enjoys paper in a place full of paper is daunting. I have a small flat, which by sheer nature of the love of learning and storage of large medical records etc is now a very big concern. Even moving would just bring them along assuredly so what can I, someone who is KNOWINGLY chemically sensitive, do?

    Anything with Alpha Pinene is out. I’ve all but resolved myself to spraying with DE (since breathing it is toxic) and leaving for a few weeks (which is very difficult to do for several reasons), come back and vacuum and hope for the best, but I’m not even sure if FG DE is the answer to this sort of creature or not. Will the silica that ‘cuts up’ a bug with an exo skeleton also kill soft bugs?

    Bites: I do get them in the folds and creases of the knees and arms (while bent) and within the bra area but as I’ve modified behavior and kept things straight etc they don’t seem to care much, as I’ve gotten bites on my visible chest, my legs and my back now. The reaction I have is as if a mosquito had bitten me (I’m allergic) but it doesn’t fly and I have no standing water nearby inside or out (i have but the one window to the outdoors and keep it closed a good half the time as CA is HOT) - even if I did it would be more obvious. If someone told me it wasn’t a real bug I’d say ‘then what have I been killing/flushing down the sink and why only in the last two months and why the little soft bugs crawling on me?’

    Can whatever it is spread disease? I’m so not in a good place to handle any kind of exposure to anything else.

    - If you can see them, catch a couple on a piece of tape, put the tape in a vial of alcohol and get them identified. Then it would be easier to recommend a treatment. DE will kill any insect, even soft-bodied ones. Greenbug for People made from cedar is also excellent, but it would be much better if the culprit can be positively identified. You can send me some samples if you like packed as I said. My mailing address is 6804 4th St. NW, no. 134, Los Ranchos, NM 87107.

34. I myself had this experience for staying for a summer at my mother in-laws house in 2011 & because one else had this experience but me I told myself the problem was everything from stress to voodoo brought on by my childrens mother. At night I would go to sleep & the biting would start & the bites were like little burns & I would itch all night long I would go to the car to try sleeping & it just went on & on it was bad. One day I had set my white shirt down outside & left it on the patio & went inside for a couple minutes & the back to my shirt & that is when I saw then in piles all over my white shirt tiny sliver like red things as thin as the tips of sewing needles all over my shirt & now I had proof I am not nuts so I showed everyone at the house. The relief was huge because I could see the problem.
    My mother in law lives in a rural area with farmers fields all over the place. After leaving & going home to my own bed & house I had no problems at all not one. Last night I went out to the drive in out around the same types of fields & wouldn’t you know it the same darn problem I had sleeping. I might suggest if living around the rural farm area or a place with many fields to move but I sympathize because I no it gets real bad & just won’t stop. Now I do not have the problem but I nearly panic at the though of having to go to my mother in-laws at all for fear of bringing these things home to my house to multiply. But they don’t.

35. Well I hope you get this , my boyfriend and I have been suffering from the same thing as others have described , I don’t want to tell you that it’s not in the head these people do have a parasite , soak in tea tree oil two tablespoons in the bathtub , these parasites are hard to see because they hide under coat of wax residue they create .

    It leaves a crystal yellowish orange layer on the whole top layer of skin causing the pores to close up so it’s hard to get a chemical into the skin to kill them , However tea tree oil forces them to come out of the body , but it won’t get the eggs out nor will it kill them so treatment is important everyday , castol oil and garlic cloves if digested also will help kill them from the inside out .

    There are other oils and herbs you can take that’ll also help , we have tried everything it seems like from safe gaurd dog dewormer which they built up an immunity to it after the second treatment , then we tried a dandruff shampoo with antifungal with a medicine , it worked for a few days also but then it didn’t anymore .

    We tried nix and rid they worked to get a few days as well , the stuff prescribed for scabies mites , nothing happen . The doctors wouldn’t do any test went to 4 of them .

    After 3 months of having this and doing research I still don’t know what it could be but it’s deffinetly a worm parasite , it looks like white worm , I’ve been using tea tree oil for two days now and it’s still working , so has garlic and castol oil , look up herbs and treatments to kill parasites , there are a list of products that are all natrual which will kill this thing , however I don’t know how to rid them from everything in the home.

    These things get on and into everything , I just hope this will help some of you to find relief because it’s nerve racking not knowing what’s going on.

    It is not all in your head , my mom told me it was, I know better cause I seen them coming out of everywhere on my skin and once I take a picture of the bath water tonight she better not say its dead skin falling off of me because I seen them floating out of my vagina as well and my skin would bubble like there was air in it so I pushed on my legs and feet out came more worms .

    It’s the best creepiest feeling of all when you see progress and 100s coming out , even after the second treatment I don’t feel the crawling as much .

    - Lynsey you describe exactly the same observations i have made. get yourself a microscope or just use your webcam. take the lens out of your webccam turn it around and tape or glue it back on backwards, it will provide appx 60-100x magnification. what i have found a little different is that the white worms are usually next to a dark colored one, i see them in the little black specks that come out of my skin. salt and vinegar with lugols iodine seems to work well at getting them out of the skin as well.

36. Hi, I had this itchy crawly feeling over my whole body for over 2 years. It started off on my head so i thought it was lice but I couldn’t find any eggs or anything for that matter. It then progressed to behind my ears the most and on my shoulder blades. Then to my palms, feet, and now it’s everywhere. The more I tried to cure this bug off of my body the angrier it gets and the bugs start to crawl faster and bite more. I can feel it moving in my hair when I touch it or grab it, and in certain lights I can see very small white bugs flying/crawling around smaller than a grain of salt to long ones as big as a rice grain (gross I know). Especially in the sun I can see it flying and crawling all over.

    I’ve stopped harming my body with products and just let it live because it doesn’t crawl over my body that much and more my head/hair. Now it’s non-stop itchiness every day 24/7. Every time I’m around another person, they start to itch. People have told me that every time they hang out with me they feel like somethings crawling on their head and body. When I comb out my hair or scratch my arm to a dim light I can see all of the bugs fly out and then come back to me. I have a video recording of it, its just so much to handle on my own. Has anyone ever figured out what it was?! I also noticed that whenever I’m around birds they start to scratch themselves, literally, all of them in a row start to dig their beaks into theier body. If it’s not bird’s mites then I don’t know what it is. Please help me.

    - Hi Julie,

      I have what you have. I have seen these microscopic flying bugs in strong sunlight or a strong flashlight. They are like you describe as big as a speck of salt, or like a piece of floating dust. Not everyone on this site has the same bug. But, you describe exactly what I have seen too. Can you post the video on youtube? I could show that to my local extension entomologist. Mine are not as bad as yours. But, contrary to the Bugmans philosophy, I have been spraying a lot of pesticide. I still have lingering bugs, but not that many. I can feel them lighting on me now. Here is what I am doing to reduce the infestation. I bought tea tree shampoo and conditioner at Whole Foods. They seem to hate tea tree oil & peppermint oils. I bought the dyson animal vacuum from Amazon. What a great vacuum. Comes with a 6 inch upholstery attachment too. Vacuum every day if possible, I do every couple of days. I change my sheets almost every night. I keep all my dirty clothes in sealed bins. You can only wear your clothes once. I put 20 mule team detergent in the laundry. I also bought a couple of $ 15 garden sprayers. I spray Talstar mixed with Nylar. Spray the whole house. Make sure you have picked up everything off the floors that is possible. The Nylar inhibits their egg reproduction. Eggs are hatching everyday! I sprayed 3 times 5 days apart. They are about 90% gone but still lingering a little. I also spray sterifab on spot areas. This is good for mattresses and things like that. It kills the ones alive, but not the eggs. I will spray sterifab tonight around the PC Buy more Talstar & Nylar than you expect to use. You will also need a respirator with pesticide cartridges in it. Please post your video on youtube, and leave the link here. The video can prove that they exist. People that don’t have these buggers in their home and car have no clue what they are talking about. They have to experience the epidemic to really understand that some foreign pest has invaded their life. Also check out this blog: http://bitingbugs.wordpress.com, Not everyone has the same bugs on these blogs. some people are dealing with fairly benign bugs like: bedbugs, thrips etc. It has to fly to be our bug! These things are literally 1/60- 1/80 of an inch in size. Have you seen little tiny white cocoon’s in your clothing?? I wonder if they are parasitic wasps which are used extensively in this country on agriculture crops to control larger bugs. These miniature wasps are the right size and they are exposed to lots of pesticides, which helps make them pesticide resistant. If you are a farmer, you can buy 10,000 parasitic wasps on a piece of cardboard the size of a pack of cigarettes!! By the way pyrethrin pesticides don’t work at all. Pls share any success you have.

      - They aren’t parasitic wasps. Parasitic wasps are only capable of feeding on insects they normally parasitize. They don’t have the physical characterisitics necessary (mouthparts) to parasitize humans. They are not a problem. Using chemicals like talstar will only make things worse as the chemicals will affect your immune system and make you more susceptible to “bug activity”.

        Posted by askthebugman | September 9, 2012, 8:31 pm

      - Thank you so much for your help. It’s going to be hard for me to reduce the infestation due to the fact that I live with 4 other guys who don’t believe that I have anything. They don’t clean up after themselves and we have carpet everywhere so it’s hard to clean after myself constantly and others.

        Am I exposing others to this as well? They seem to get itchy, but they say it’s just normal to scratch themselves from time to time. I have school and work, so it’s a pain to deal with all this stress. I don’t have the time or the money either. Has your entomologist suggested an easier way to get rid of these bugs? Or do they still not believe you? I’ve spent so much time and money going to specialists that I gave up 6 months ago and let these bugs multiply by the day. It’s so depressing and annoying to live with these bugs everyday… anyway my video is on my other computer, I will post it up when I have time to.

        Posted by Julie | September 11, 2012, 7:42 pm

      - Have you ever seriously applied the information that the Bugman has provided and tried it?? We went the chemical route and the constant cleaning of the house and car and we were worse not better. His explanation is the only plausible one. We spent lots of money with the medical community etc.etc. Everyone in our family is fine. My daughter still has a slight problem but essentially it is gone. Now I am not saying that I don’t believe you I am just saying that in our case it was chemical exposure and we got over it. We had all the specs and little white things popping out of our skin every where and constant itching. Praying for your recovery!!

    - could be a type of mite or lice. They can be visible or so tiny as to be almost invisible, they can infest any area of the body that has hair (birds often get them too). They’re easily passed between people (for example, sharing furniture, a hat, a brush, etc.) They are often itchy, and may become especially active and itchy at particular times of day, especially at night. If it were me, I would start by using lice killing shampoo (which you can find in any drug store, the active ingredient is pyrethrin). Read all warnings and use as directed. Check with your doctor if you have any questions.
      Pets get mites, too. With pets, it’s a very simple treatment, just a few drops are put on the skin by the vet and it eradicates them, but you can only get the treatment at the vet. It’s a different medicine than the ones used to treat fleas. It’s terrible when people let pets suffer with mites because the itching is really stressful for the animal and it’s an easily treated condition.
      Clear out and clean out your living environment, vaccuum everywhere regularly (including furniture/mattresses), wash everything you can wash, wipe down everything else. Bag things like stuffed animals etc in plastic bags for a while to kill any insects that might be on them. Of course never spray pesticides on yourself or near food or drinks, avoid the use of pesticides as much as possible in general and avoid handling them. They can be toxic/poisonous in many ways, they are carcinogenic and can cause liver damage and other organ damage if they reach toxic levels by being absorbed thru skin or breathed in. If you have to have your house exterminated have it done by a professional. Sometimes people using drugs or some medications or withdrawing from/recovering from the use of drugs or alcohol can have false symptoms that mimic bugs crawling on the skin which may last for some time. Sometimes people have reactions to medications that can cause hallucinations that feel like bugs crawling or look like bugs, or if a medication is too high a dose.
      Good luck! Don’t let this condition drive you crazy, go to a doctor and get it checked out if you can’t get rid of them. Hope you get rid of them soon 🙂

      - just to add, mites are generally more itchy and can be microscopic, i.e. invisible. The main sign of lice is usually the tiny light colored egg sacs attached to the roots of hair. These have to be removed in order to get rid of the lice, or they will keep hatching at intervals of a few weeks and reinfesting. For a guy it’s easiest to just buzz your hair off and use anti lice shampoo (as directed, usually just required using it twice). Most girls aren’t that bold and will have to remove all the “nits” (egg sacs) with a very fine toothed nit comb (also available in drug stores). The tiny plastic nit combs that come in packs of lice shampoo don’t work as well as a metal nit comb you can buy separately. Good luck everyone who has this, an infestation of any kind is upsetting for most people. What’s especially frustrating for people is that they sometimes keep catching them again because they don’t know where they’re picking them up. It’s common for lice to go around schools etc.
        My son caught lice once when there was a school program where the kids all wore hats. They each had their own hat but the hats all went into a container together in between performances. Immediately after this he had lice. We only had to use the RID shampoo and nit comb as directed (I believe it was twice) and they were eradicated. But I heard from a friend once whose little girl kept getting lice over and over. What a pain!
        Morgellons is so far not recognized by medical science. So far in studies on it, the fibers that people thought were coming out of their skin turned out to be normal household and clothing fibers, and skin injuries from picking, scratching, etc. A lab test can determine if there is any microscopic infestation. When there isn’t any infestation, but the person persists in thinking there is, it’s generally diagnosed as delusional parasitosis. That doesn’t mean it’s necessarily the final word on the subject, maybe they will eventually find submicroscopic bugs that science hasn’t been able to detect thus far. But delusional parasitosis is a well known condition where people are really suffering from what feels (and often looks to them) exactly like a real parasitic infestation, but which is not actually an infestation but a combination of sensations which result in them having a false belief that they are infested with something. These sensations can be part of a mental illness or can brought on by a wide variety of health conditions ranging from diabetes, to drugs, or alcohol, or withdrawal from these, to caffeine (which is also a drug), to reactions to medications or improper dosing, to chemical exposures, to allergies, to sleep deprivation, infections/fever, and many other conditions. It’s important to get help if you have delusional parasitosis as people sometimes even harm themselves (or even their children) trying to treat for imaginary infestations. Bear in mind organic/natural treatments are not necessarily safer than other treatments, some have the potential to be toxic, and could even be causing the symptoms.
        Eating a healthy diet that contains lots of veggies and greens and fruits (you don’t need to wash them with a special chemical, just clean water), avoiding drugs except ones that your doctor has put you on for a medical reason, taking prescribed drugs exactly as prescribed, getting regular medical and dental checkups, (regular checkups and parasite prevention for your pets too, for their health and so you don’t catch anything from them), drinking water, exercising several times a week, etc, are good for us in any case and will result in healthier skin and better general health (consult your doctor), and people who believe in Morgellons generally recommend the same thing 🙂

        Posted by ec | October 14, 2012, 3:45 pm

    - I forgot to say, bear in mind many organic/natural oils and treatments can also potentially be toxic.

      - just wanted to add, there are certain infectious diseases which can cause outbreaks on the skin, sometimes years apart. Some of these can be very serious if left untreated. For example, syphilis starts with just a bump in a private area, then if left untreated, years later the person breaks out in sores, if left untreated, it can eventually lead to mental illness, brain/nerve damage, even blindness, etc. It’s treated with antibiotics. There are many other common infections that can be the same way and can cause skin symptoms that resemble bites. Get blood tests regularly for venereal diseases, and if you have pets or work outside you can also have a blood test at the doctor to rule out various parasites. Some people who believe they have Morgellons turn out to actually have Lyme disease (an infection from a tick bite which also disappears and reappears with various skin symptoms years later and can progress to more serious health problems if left untreated. It’s treated with antibiotics.) Some viral diseases also go away and reappear with various kinds of bumps etc, for example shingles (which luckily now is preventable with a vaccine), or various herpes infections.

      - I believe what most people are complaining about, especially when the little biting creatures are red, is chiggers. I am from Dallas, a humid city, and even if you walk through grass, chiggers will get on you. Or have a picnic, chiggers will get on you. Or walk your dog, and chiggers will get on you. My mother used to use use apple cider vinegar solution with water to stop the excruciating itching with ACV. It has to be Bragg’s, or Briggs, with the ‘mother’ in it. Read what’s on the bottle and you will see what I’m talking about. The ACV is cloudy, not clear, and you must shake it up. Hope this helps.

      - THis is for all you- I have the same symptoms. My 2 teens 2 dogs and 2 cats. We got actually 6 or 7 different parasites fm our hotel in Redding. Within 2 weeks I am down to 85lbs we went to dr and she didn’t even ck us. She drug tested me and didn’t want to even listen or see our pics. I had a worm in my pee even. She sent us home and only prescribed only me antibiotics. I know I am going to die. We have been trying to get out of Thisbe hotel and go to glass beach for a week. Now. So sick, weak, tired and broke. I put pictures on my Twitter I only put a few I did not put the pictures I have of it mimicking clothing skin I didn’t because only a fellow sufferer would not think I’m crazy. This site is a headache to put pics. Please go to my Twitter and u will see some of them. Please comment there. Every time u feel a tingle take a pic. That’s all I did. I hope that someone will see them and figure out what they are I can die. But please save my girls! I only put pics of me. They r teens. But have same nightmare. Buttlakelover is my twitter. We have a go fund me 2 please pass this around. We all need to be treated and I am beyond the nothing and no Hope point. Hoping to feel sand before I go. And have one last memory with my family. Wish me luck. Wishing u luck.. it’s real. It really is.

37. Know what you are all going through. Only thing Ive found to eradicate this is to wash, wash wash , any fabrics that are not washed in awhile. ive change to non toxic laundry detergent, found i like it better. it comes back every once in awhile, but when weve been dealing with old cardboard boxes or pick up an old bag of old clothes or pick up old papers, we had maybe put in the back closet or something. I feel them immediately and they go right to work. its good to be in company, but im also sad no one can find what it is. treat animal with biting lice protection, and do the above is the best I can do.

39. One month later from my earlier post, Aug 3th joe
    Had most of the issues many have posted about, after several visits to different Doctors, same result as all..nothing. But, Many thanks to my family for finding a Doctor that could help. Ginger Savely of Washington DC. Long story short I’m finally see good results after 3 weeks, still have the crawling, and a few of the other issues but very limited.. (biting has been rare the last 4 days) . Most of her plans for a recover are just as the Bugman had stated in several of his post. Her main thing is rest (get off work if you can), build immune system back up, eat as the Bugman has stated, organic everything, No sugars, only Whole grain breads and limited, along with some strong antibotic’s..and the list can go on, but take to heart what the Bugman is saying on every post…only thing I can add is, I take 2 Hot Baths a day, plain water….nothing added, scrub good, limited amount of cloths I wash daily and I have removed myself from the envoriment where I once lived.
    I started my second antibothic today will keep all posted in a month.
    Prays for those who live this nightmare..Joe

    - My daughter had this problem and it was severe. We finally found this site and she eliminated all chemicals from her environment( as much as possible). She changed her diet completely. She is mostly a vegetarian now. She is about 95% cured after 4 months. Hang in there. I keep reading this just hoping we can help encourage others who are so desperate for answers to their suffering.

      - Debbie, I’m very happy for you and your daugther, It’s good to hear there is hope for all of us.
        I’m over one month into my antibotics, Improvement has slowed but I’m stable with minor issues. Crawing is very little, still have a few small sores from the bacteria, the biting sensations have become rare. All my blood work has come back, with some good, some bad, the bad is I have Lymes disease, which Mrs.Savely feels this is related to my condition. She has added another antibotic, Dioxycyclen.

        One must be 100% true to yourself and stick with the rules as bugman has posted on what it takes to recover. I slipped back to Dinning out, while having a weekend away, and with in 48 hours I seen my condition changing for the worse. Life is very close to normal for me, but I have to watch everything I do to maintain……Thanks for checking Debbie, and I will post once a month on my conditions…..75% healed….God bless…….. Joe

        Posted by Joe | September 30, 2012, 1:22 am

      - So glad to hear that you are healing. You found the right physician if they diagnosed you properly. Lymes disease is often over looked because patients have had it so long that it is not recognized. Doxycycline works for all kinds of weird things. I just got back from Haiti and we used it to treat lots of stuff. I agree that eating out is a big problem. I can tolerate eating out some but my daughter can not. I’m sure your immune system is compromised because of your Lymes disease diagnosis. Please do keep us informed. I think it is very important to encourage others who are looking for answers. Thanks, Debbie

    - I suspect its not a bug, but a chemical reaction to something, either you have been exposed to such as pesticides, or something you ate. Read the entire blogs on this subject and maybe adjust your diet and see if that doesn’t work.

41. I saw what looked like a pore in the skin of my arm. It was irritating me and I focused on the place where it seemed to be. Then the pore started moving around like a bug. Then I knew that it was a bug. Just so small that it could hardly be seen. when I went to grab it the speck quit moving. Then I wasn’t sure where it was anymore.

42. i cant see these bugs that are eating me , I think I may be allergic to them because it takes at least 3 days for the pain and inflation of the skin to go down enough to see one or 2 bites in the center. I don’t feel like they are crawling on me but i have really searched EVERYWHERE around my bed , IN my bed for them . I spread boiling water all over my floors and vacuumed and cleaned my room but non of that even slowed the biting at night.
    they bite me around 6 times a night which is alot because of my reaction to it.
    I think I’m going to try tee tree oil , and bounce sheets I just wish i knew what it was..

43. Hi, I have dogs and saw fleas on them. sprayed them with adams flea and tick spray, so I haven’t seen anymore fleas. fogged the house three weeks straight. Found a bedbug, although it looks more like an earwig between the mattress. fogged under beds with Hot shot foggers. Sprayed with Hot Shot flee and bedbug spray every day. Sprayed house, under sofa, under bed, . Been putting DE on sheets around the walls, on the pups and I’m at work right now and I feel bites as I type. There are pimples all over my body, back, arms, legs, thighs, between my toes, on fingers, neck and between my buttocks but haven’t seen anything since the one bedbug. Purchased bedbug encasements for mattressess and pillows. Nothing is working, I want to cry, I’ve used lavender oil and DE food grade. My husband sometimes feel the bites when he comes in the room. I even eat the DE food grade occasionally. HELP ME!

    - Best thing you can do is get a new spray bottle and fill it with 90/91% rubbing alcohol, and spray those pimples consistently and everywhere you have a rash. Do this as often as you need to day or night. The best way to detect all of those infected areas is to take a shower or bath and rub your face and entire body with an exfoliating glove, preferably with a special soap, called Miracle II Soap. Use a mirror and check your entire back side and spray the alcohol everywhere you see any red areas or pimples. You need to be sure you get each and every new pimple as soon as it develops. Also, use scented dryer sheets and place them anywhere on the body where it itches. You will get instant relief. Use them day and night, and if needed, place them on your mattress. Wrap your arms with dryer sheets and place anywhere you have any sensations. Throw away your regular mattress, and sleep on an air mattress. You can find a metal bed frame at Walmart.com and also do away with the box spring. Just set the air mattress right on top and you are good to go. Wash everything you wear every single day, including your sheets, and pillow cases with regular laundry soap. You can also soak in the tub using the same Miracle II Soap, and drink about 2 TBS of the Miracle II Liquid Neutralizer in a half cup of water, first thing in the morning. You can reach Kathy at 412-558-0438 to purchase these items. She offers the best prices on all of these products.

44. I sounds like you have had a very sad life. Much of your life history would suggest that your body is very toxic. I am sure that you do feel Invisible bugs because everyone who posts on here has or has a family member that has. All I can suggest is that you read everything the bug man has written. If you can’t afford organic food,which most of us can’t, then just don’t eat any animal products and see if that helps. Avoid any kind of pesticide or chemical. Don’t go off any of your medication without a physicians help. Scabies did not go deeper into your skin. It cleared itself up. What ever you had in 2001 should not be affecting you now. The little black dots are actually clumps of bacteria that are coming out of your body in response to toxicity. Since you say that you are a Christian, I would also suggest that you watch Joyce Meyer on TV. Her program is called Enjoying Every Day Life. She has a fantastic testimony and gives you practical steps to finding peace in and through God. I will say a prayer for you.

45. @askthebugman and most of these other comments,

    I realize that what you’re suggesting may very well be helpful for some people. However, we all have a tendency to hear about someone’s problem that resembles a problem we have had ourselves and then assume that it is the same thing. I think you have done just this. I’m not pointing this to be rude or argumentative, but there were some very important things said in the letter that was sent to you that you seemed to have missed because you were already relating this case to your own or others.

    1. “I brought in samples of bugs that I have literally ripped from my skin and he said none of them were bugs.” The professionals have seen what this person thinks are the bugs and have decisively said that they are not bugs. So far, this could be what you think it is… but keep reading.

    2.”I am NOT crazy, I have never had a problem like this in my entire life, I don’t think I see things, I don’t hear things, I am not crazy and nobody will believe me. I am being kicked out of my apartment because I demanded they spray for these things, I have lost friends, I have lost credibility with everyone.” Read that again, “lost credibility with everyone”, not one or two people. Sometimes, when our bodies (or minds) tell us one thing and EVERYONE who cares about us tell us something else, we have to acknowledge that it could be our own bodies (or minds) that our lying to us.

    3. “I will go to my grave telling people I am being eaten alive, I don’t care what anyone tells me, I know this is real My church Pastor even said he would help me if I went to their therapist, of course, they would pay!!! They have me on tranquilizers, and want me to go on an antidepressant…” The people that are in this person’s life, and I would assume more than a couple of them care deeply about this person have all been shown “the evidence” and have tried to explain that this is a psychological issue. You don’t get put on tranquilizers and antidepressants without having other possibilities considered and dismissed by healthcare professionals.

    4. “I don’t have a dime to my name from fighting these things, I buy insecticide by the case, I use a bottle of OFF every night on my body, and I am now passing out from using this DEET, they tell me not to use it, but have no alternative.

    The entomologist told me that if it was a bug, he would know it, but he didn’t know it. I have literally brought a tape (scotch tape) of these things that I have ripped from my vaginal area (and I bled) to show him, and he said it was “dirt.” I am an EXTREMELY clean person, and that just isn’t true. They are even on my towels, they are in my drawers where my clothes are.”

    Really look at what this person is describing, it does NOT really match with the symptoms the rest of you have experienced!

    5. “I am not a crack-pot, I am not a nut case, I am desperate. Anything you ask me to send you to prove who I am, I will. I will be waiting for your reply, I pray to God you believe me.”

    If the original writer of the letter reads this post, I want you to encourage you not to get caught up in the stigma that admitting to having these issues makes you a “crackpot” or “nut case”. If your arm was not working properly because it was broken or you had a debilitating physical disease, you would admit it and let a doctor treat you. If part of your brain is not working properly, you should treat it the same way. Again, if your body is telling you one thing but all of the people that care deeply about you are telling you something else, you need to admit that it could be your own body that is wrong!

    - Joe please let us know how you are doing. I feel so sorry for everyone who experiences this. We know that it is physical but it certainly affects you psychologically as time goes on. I am so thankful that I found this blog. I am a nurse and I could not find any help with the traditional medical community.The bugman’s explanation was the only plausible one that I could find. My family is completely cured now. Hope you are too.

    - I know we all have compassion for any one suffering from these symptoms. We all know that, for the most part, it is physiological and not psychological. Symptoms can vary according to type of exposure or the body’s response to that exposure. I hope and pray that she stopped using the DEET and OFF by the case. IF she read any of these posts surely she stopped. I didn’t see any posts that were dismissive or disrespectful. Do you have any further suggestions for treatment ?

    - I believe you, my issues were the same. I took several little insects? in for ID to doctors, dermatologist, even sent many to the University of Maryland, all reponses were negitive. Then I made the mistake of spraying insecticides, this along with other environment issues weaken my immune system. The bitting, sores, crawing got worse, my health, mentally and physically were fading quick. Blessed, My family reconized this and found me a doctor that specialzed in Morgellons and Lymes. At first I was not sure because she said not to bring samples, but My first visit I was amazed..She showed me several test tubes and asked if I reconized any, finally a doctor who understood.
      I know now it is a Bacterial infection for sure, Although bugs/parisites were involved early on, I believe the insecticides or environment contibuted to my final conditions. Morgellons.

46. I thought I was going crazy. I had the invisible bug bite syndrome too. After lots of web surfing and trying various remedies, I tell you what. I discovered bed bugs. Once I knew what to look for, I kept finding them. So don’t rule them out. They don’t bite through clothing, I have taken to wearing long underwear and socks to bed, until I get around to throwing it out (sigh - soon!). Now I only get bites on my hands. Doing toxic things like bombing my bedroom and spraying bifentrin on the carpet helped but didn’t eradicate them. Need to find fipronil in a spray form. The thing that made the most sense was I read that there can be a delayed recation from the time one is bit to the time the welt comes up. Mine are kind of brazen, I find them walking across the bed. Very easy to snag with a piece of tape. Tea tree ointment is helping heal the existing bites. Back when I was doing the “what if it’s ….” I thought it might be a skin fungus and treated with fungal cream. Oddly it cleared up on my arms (but moved to my legs) which makes me think perhaps there was something in the fungal cream that repelled them. My skin rash is improving, unlike my relationship with my boyfriend whom I think is the one that brought them into my bedroom. (he has many questionable habits, like salvaging items out of the dumpster, shopping at second hand stores, etc).

47. Dear Bugman,

    I appreciate your assistance to the many on this site. However, I believe that with regards to the people describing the flying white specs (a bio-engineering feat disguised cleverly as a speck of dust that can defy the direction of the wind and any object moving against it), you would be incorrect about it being a “bacterial reaction that is the result of chemicals” alone. That is only part of what sustains it, not what it subsists as. The reason I know this now is because these white dots (which many have described to you above) when left alone in a room WILL and DO multiply, they move on their own (but tend to mimic the behavior of dust particles whenever possible), and will furthermore disguise themselves as long strands of hair (which upon inspection under a powerful microscope reveals that they are cylinder-like creatures that are designed, or perhaps engineered…to look this way to the naked eye and blend in as such).

    These things are affecting my electronics now (whether I am in a place for weeks at a time or not) - they are attracted to any form of heat or electricity, be it static or other. Also, another observation has been made and video taped: random proximity (from 8 to 10 feet away) of people on a public transit - who do not know of and are not privy to any of this information (196 out of 200 people studied) ALL begin to sneeze, cough, scratch, and look around them. 40 of the 200 immediately began to slap their arms and check their clothing to figure out what (without saying a word, but showing it in obvious form)…what is suddenly affecting them.

    You might get people to buy the “bacteria in the gut” thing…but anyone who has seen and observed this long term knows better. If you are willing to share the rest of the information you’re not saying (if you know it and are being told to withhold it or tell people otherwise), it would help a tremendous amount of people. It would also save me from having to buy a third laptop when this one becomes fully compromised like the others and overheats as well.

    P.S: Changing my diet did not help. The only thing that does is a nasty smelling self-made aerosol of brewer’s yeast. What will you tell me or them with regard to this? Not to eat meat or processed foods at walmart, or GMOs, or aspartame? I’ve never consumed any of those things, and my immune system is very strong. So what now? Please don’t try to backpedal and repeat the same exact information that you’ve repeated to everyone else. It doesn’t hold true with what this really is. Thanks.

    - If they have been examined under a microscope by a scientist, and they were some kind of creature they would have a name. Thousands of samples have been sent to entomologists, acarologists, and others and nobody has described a new species. I went to a house in northern NM two weeks ago to help someone with IBBS symptoms. She thought she had mites and she had white particles in the air that she thought were affecting her. Her counters and tables were covered with a light film of this material including some clump together. It wasn’t mites. She had a wooden ceiling, so I inspected the attic to she if she had rodents or bats up there. She didn.t. She had a lot of blown insulation in the attic and it was falling into the house between the slats in the ceiling. As you probably know, most insulation contains asbestos. The white particle were affecting her but they wegren’t mites. They were very small particles of asbestos she was inhaling. I suggested she move out of the house, get the insulation removed and the attic and house completely cleaned and to tell her doctor she has been exposed to too much asbestos.

    - I am 52 yr old woman experiencing all symptoms of IBBS. Treated home with bug bombs and other chemicals for spiders then bizzarre happenings around my home. I have the fibers, metal flecks, lint balls etc. My skin too has parasitic activity as I often leave the wormlike whatever on whatever I touch. Certain activities cause my skin to expell these things in large numbers. The black dots come to the surface in clusters then slowly fade back into deeper layers and the parasitic creatures exit along with what almost like pus. Ive also been observant enough to notice the little white things seem to multiply. Im very clean and after wiping surface and returning to find more in the same place. Also want to know if anyone has noticed the strange movement in fibers such as linens. The fabric has what appears to be a thread or something under surface. I can feel actual fiber then it quickly flattens and seems to vanish. Also the threads or fibers that seem to grow out of household objects and react to touch by moving. The fibers have characteristis lint balls either on end or several small ones the length of the fiber. Im an educated and very analytical so this is disturbing me greatly. It seems like the bacteria is equipped with an artificial intelligence of sort. I know I sound strange but if you knew me you would consider what Im seeing as real and what I say as fact. Im concerned for my grandchildren in contact with me. Im trying to help myself by reading all the tips online for treatment but I will admit to being somewhat frightened by what Im witnessing. There has to be more we can do. This is more than Chemical although that is logical part. There is another aspect that is unnerving and weird. Thanks.

      - Check out tin yat taoism website. It sounds very strange and hard to believe but the Taoist master calls it’ ‘goo’ from another realm….sent by people who have knowledge of black magic…yeah I know …very strange. Someone earlier in this thread mentioned voodoo and I have come to the conclusion through my own experiences that this could be a very real possibility. I also like you Stacia am also very analytical and agree that there is something that doesnt add up logically. People into black magic gain power from others suffering and they take offence extremely easily just looking for an excuse to attack until they feel we’ve paid back for our ‘offence’ Sorry if I sound like a headcase but these practices are very real and prevalent in many societies including our own so called western civilisation

    - Oh My gosh! You said some thing I never heard anyone say but I thought about it and didn’t want to say for fear of being made a fool! First of all when it started off I used to have several different bugs doing into and out of my skin. Going in was painful. then I noticed I was magnetic. Yep. I could make things move (metal or things with metal but also the bugs) What type of bugs have metal in them? Something made in a lab. n I noticed they act very bizarre around my computer. Could it be that they are some sort of engineering used in war and when they get near the computer can pick up new “programs” on what they need to do?So I brought a microscope home from work and looked at these bugs. NONE are anything what we have though they look similar. I sent in a picture before but even the bug man was clueless. These fake bugs have a tendency to “melt” under warm light so by the time I take them to the doctor they look like much. they change into their next lifecycle about once a week and some of these look so much like it came off a computer it’s unreal. But then you talked about the hair. I would notice a strand of hair in the sink and I would pick it up and get a very small shock. Like static. So I started watching the hair and they were moving!! all by themselves on my bathroom counter! I have several videos of this but by now it’s almost boring. I looked under the microscope and they were lined up in the hair strand. Not cylinders (those are what some of the bugs turn into later-Oh yea, I communicate with mine. Something like the way we communicate with our pets so they have stopped biting. cylinders) the black dots- lined up on the hair strand. they have now eaten most of my hair. I had long blond hair a year ago. Now it’s about 1 inch long in certain areas. sometimes they go into my clothing and make stitching in places it should ont be r make it the wrong color. I have numerous pictures of before and after f these. If anyone would like to see them I would be more than happy to post the many photos of blue, pink yellow fiber and creatures with Hook like hands that squirt out a pink r white substance that is stringy. Have a great day.

49. Hello,

    My 4 year old son wakes up each morning with multiple bite marks on his body. We have switched his beds, vacuumed and washed all his bedding, and searched high and low for any sign of what could be biting him…to no avail. Nobody else in the family is being affected by whatever this is. His bites have the appearance of mosquito bites, are very itchy, and he scratches them until they scab. He then scratches the scab and now his legs, arms and torso are covered in scars! We avoid all chemical skin care products and cleaning agents. We also eat a mostly organic diet, although still fairly heavy in dairy, sugar and wheat. Maybe I need to eliminate those from his diet and see if that helps? Do you also suggest a probiotic supplement? Anything else you think may help my little guy? I just feel so sorry for him and don’t know what to do…? Thanks for any help 🙂

    - I would use a good probiotic and FOS to feed it.Eliminate the sugar and wheat. If he were my child, and I didn’t see quick results, I would consider seeing a good allergist and or a dermatologist. You might want to look up a food rotation diet and try that. It is hard with a four year old. I will be praying for you. God can give you wisdom.

      - Nothing hurts more then too see our children suffer. Debbie and the Bugman have passed along some great info, but, if you need. You may want to check with Ginger Savely, she has helped many. It has cost me close to two thousand dollars but who can put a price on getting well, special the little ones.

      - Joe where is Ginger Savely located? Does she have a web site? Is she a nautropathic physician? I agree with you. If conventional medicine has been tried then something alternative would be the approach to take.

        Posted by Debbie Gill | October 3, 2012, 1:05 pm

      - I seen her at her Washington DC office, a very compassionate lady. Combining traditional, with a Holistic approach. Much of what Bugman has said to all, are her same words.

      - Thanks for that information. I’m sure it would be worth it if you have tried every thing else. Dr. Savely may do some in the office treatment and then work with the patient by phone if they are out of her local area. I just heard today about a man who had been committed twice because of Morgellon’s. There is a real physical cause for it. I only had symptoms for a short period of time but long enough to know that it was real. My daughter was sick for a lot longer. She was more upset about being told it was psychological than she was about the actual symptoms! Thank God, I do all the time, that we got the information from this web site that explained what was causing it.

        Posted by Debbie Gill | October 4, 2012, 1:50 am

    - It is invissible bug bite and not syndrome it happens to very few and your son is one This is due to settling of such bugs near and arround. Possible remedies are . : Change location some what away from existing. Try to improve skin immunity by applying natural skin toner. Improve child`s general health by providing good and hygenic food. Give him dry fruits and boiled eggs This is in addition even if you feel he is keepinng normal health because he needs extra edge due to the rear problem he is facing now

52. This is a very interesting article, and while I feel this could be the case for some people I think most of the time its all mental. I’ve never had bed bugs before let alone any bugs in my house besides spiders or silver fish in the basement, up intill I moved to nyc. I moved in to a friends apartment in the summer and kept waking up to bites that I thought were mosquito bites. Boy was I wrong they were bed bug bites. I couldn’t sleep at all for those days that I lived there, thankfully I moved out. But I developed a mental thing about bugs because of that traumatic experience. I still sometimes I can sleep bc I think somethings crawling on me, I know its just me being paranoid so I don’t scratch it first I rub it to see if there is something on me and 99 percent of the time its nothing. So now when ever I think I feel an itch, I check the first time anytime after that I try not to play mind to my paranoia my body has developed from the stupid bed bugs. And if I start to get real itch I take a shower and dust the sheets or change the sheets and it gives me peace of mind. Try not to pay attention u guys that’s what’s driving most of u insane causing urself to scratch urself till u get sores. I understand what you guys are going through but remember mind over your body, tell urself its nothing there there are no bugs its jus ur body playing tricks or the crumbs and dirt u dragged in from ur feet. And stay calm it helps me to get over my paranoia. Goodluck.

When I got there THREE DOCTORS didn’t knpw what it was. Again, they thought ot was scabies but I don’t think so either. I googled it but haven’t come up with anything as well. If you find out what it is could you reply? Cause I also saw tiny bugs but the dcotor specifically said: “THEY ARE NOT FROM BUGS.” I’m not crazy either… what the heck is this rash?

55. I am sorry you got the reply to your pleading. I have been coping with a very similar problem for more than 2 years. When I consulted my PCP about it he “diagnosed” Facticious dementia”. I’ve never had any mental issues in my life. It’s not just me that has the problem. My roommate and my 2 dogs have them too. Ours are visible, but because they bite and burrow, when doctors are willing to indulge me, the sample contains skin. When my urine is checked, despite the fact that they are visible, the test always comes back negative for bacteria. Same with stool samples. About every 2 weeks a new batch hatches and I’m so miserable. I am extremely clean to start with, and I’ve been thru 3 pest control companies plus what I’ve done with Do It Yourself stuff. If you’ve learned anything new since this post, please share your knowledge. I don’t know how much more I can take.

56. I’ve been dealing with the same thing for over a year now. Last night was the first frost and I was hopeful it would “kill” whatever was in my car, however, not so. I feel as though my legs are the target more than my hair and I often find that “hairs” are “biting me”. Yes, sounds like I need a rubber room and anti-psychotic medication until I read this article regarding chemicals a month ago. I used to bomb my car/house almost dai, drank diet coke, used colgate, dial soap etc. When I read this article I was shocked and didn’t believe these bugs, yes, can actually pick them off me, however is a chemical response. I’ve spent thousands on drs, chemicals, etc only to cont having the same issues. Its been a month since I stopped the chemicals, Diet Coke, Soaps, etc and noticed a tiiny improvement. Thank you for your post as this IS the “bug” problem. I did have a worm infestation from the beech but am xtremely clean as welll and its definatley NOT bugs, its an allergic reaction to chemicals and TRUST ME, I’ve been through everything the person who emailed the post u posted had done to no avail. Until we realize nobody else is having this problem and they reside in the same house, ride in the same car, etc, then our bodies will remain a battlefiel, our lives interrupted and no cure, until, you listen to what was posted about the chemicals. This is 100% the only thing that now makes a bit of sense to me. My dermatologistg said delusional parisitosis was hard to treat, lol, if he only knew how hard but first denial needs to be understood and only then will u start to get better. Cut the chems, cut the aspartame, stop the craziness I went through and am still trying to control, because its xactly what’s stated here, not bugs. I even took a tissuebox full of “samples”. Stop, read this and listen. Trust me, while a slow process as it states, its the only thing that’s worked so far. Thank you so much for your post!! You’ve helped me!

      - Kimberly, you are not crazy. There are many bizarre symptoms.Follow through with all parasite cultures and look at all medications, artificial sweeteners, sun screen, insect repellent, perfume, cleaning supplies etc.All these things should be avoided if possible. Of course if you have diagnosed parasites, you have to kill those off then your body should begin to recover. There is much advice on the web and it is so hard to determine what is best. You can’t go wrong with what you are doing. Doesn’t that black walnut taste nasty? It can stain your teeth so rinse after use. Good luck.

57. I live in Japan. I wanted to say it’s no wonder we are seeing so many itchy people. Bite marks or not. Apart from the usual bugs and parasites people can become infested with (a poor bedridden old lady died in a care home here from being bitten to death from red ants!), Our systems are being overloaded with chemicals that are unbelievably dangerous, and the Govt. worldwide knows full well. Aspartame is only one deadly substance, and it it is being marketed in most foods here now. It also has several different names and some even more toxic blends. Please research well. You will find how and why it was approved for human consumption, despite overwhelming evidence of it’s negative impact on our health. Even today, experts point out the effects and the rise in diseases and obesity. Aspartame was originally a diet alternative for sugar, that actually makes you fatter and sicker. It is a poison that was always well known to be poisonous. GM (GMO) foods are very dangerous to consume too and they are responsible for morgellons. http://spktruth2power.wordpress.com/2009/03/12/gmo-and-morgellons-disease-2/. The link explains the latest research. You should also see the photos of mice with huge tumors when fed with GM food. . A simple Google search will show you 12 bizarre examples of genetic engineering and there is plenty of evidence we have been and will be guinea pigs for all their mad plots. Vaccines through GM bananas? Perhaps we are already being vaccinated constantly in secret every time we eat a banana. This GM biz is the new weapon of mass destruction. CODEX was also planning on re-introducing many of the poisons they had on their MOST DANGEROUS list. Please wake up everyone. The Govt. wants a new world order and they don’t deny this, or their wishes to wipe out most of the world’s population. And they are doing it through vaccinations, viruses, Aspartame and GMO, as well as wars most don’t even know about around the world. Please watch Alex Jones. And Jesse Ventura. They risk their lives to bring us the truth. Many weren’t so lucky. After, you will want to know more. It’s your LIFE. Do you want to listen to doctors scientists and experts or the Govt with an agenda, when it comes to your health? No one posting here should ever think they are crazy, You have a condition for which you have symptoms and it’s not all in your mind as many doctors have told patients with morgellons even. Most of you live in a country where health food stores are available and you can purchase organic foods. Buy as much organic as you can and read all labels. There is nothing like that near where I live. GOOD HEALTH TO YOU ALL

58. I am sure there are multiple causes for these symptoms. Here are some things that help. Get rid of carpet if possible. If not, use Diatomaceous earth to treat the carpet (we had 98% improvement after this). Use a dehumidifier. Humidity makes the situation much worse (using the AC in the summer keeps humidity down). Do not use pesticides-unless you can confirm you have a pest. Then get a professional pest control person do not do it yourself. Most people use too much pesticides and this will only make your problems worse. Use a cover on your matress that is specifically for bed bugs and cover your boxspring as well (at least with a fitted sheet).

    We used all these methods when we moved to a rental home and could not figure out what was going on with us, our children and even our pets.

    turns out that before this happened we had a pipe break in our kitchen so waterstayed under vinyl even after using dehumidifier to suck up mostoire of water turns out we took a piece of vinyl out there was mold we has to take it all out clean it with bleach and water let it dry do it again then when completely dry put down new vinyl did u know that can give u mold spores and little bugs invisible to eye that bite you if not taken care of. so after we seen moisture and mold we took care of it we know longer are suffering bites . make sure theres no moisture or mold in your house.
    just an idea it helped us .

    - Hi Maria, we are having the same problem you are with the bugs you can’t see and I agree with you we have dampness under our home and maybe thats why we are having this problem so we will try to figure out how to get rid of the dampness and they will hopefully be gone thank you.

    - To Maria: right around the time all od this started, I too, had a leak so bad that we had to gut our bathroom and the mold remains over our ceiling as our landlord will not get this handled. We do not have the money to move at this time and I’m unsure if the mold, which did become airborne while I cleaned it as I didn’t know it would do this if it wasn’t wet prior to cleaning..anyway, shortly after this is when I started breaking out with what I thought were bug bites and the feeling of bugs crawling and biting me….THE NORM by docs “you have delusional paraites” or another said “Anxiety”. At this point I was wayyy past anxiety to feeling psychotic as I watched my skin I was so vane about, turn into a battleground…I started with alll the chemicals while I chugged my Diet Cokes, woke up to a wonderful shower with my Dial soap and brushed my teeth withyep, u guessed it, Colgate. I ended up sick of going to the doctor when I finally went to an allegist, sure another waste of time and money, however, unkbenownst to me, he studied parisotology in South Africa, etc. He asked me why I was there and I smuggly said, I’m just allergic to life” as Id given up hope on any doctor helping me. He told me who and what he did in his lifetime and I thought I met God. Come to find out I had a drug allergy to a medicine which was exactly what caused the nonhealing sores of ove a year now. He also told me to stay away from everything the BugMan did. When I read this article the other day, I coujldnt believe how the two saiid the same thing. I started trying what they said and low and behold I’m gaining weight back (went to 99 pounds) and my nails no longer are splitting, hair is getting stronger and these sores are healing better everday. I hope you find peace and take the time to read these articles. Its amazing the amnt of money I spent on making myself worse. Good Luck and keep Praying.

60. I have dealt with reoccurances of these “invisible” mites in my mother’s home on and off for so many years. Whenever I would visit home and sleep in my old room, I would feel like I’ve been getting bitten all night. I have recently moved back, and these bugs are feasting… But only at night.

    There are no stains that suggest bedbugs, I can’t see them. They leave no marks, but it could be because I am African American and a honey toned color. Maybe the marks don’t show up on my skin. We are very clean, and there are no animals living here, but my mother lets any Tom, Dick and Harry sleep over in my bed, when I am not here and most of them have “questionable” hygiene.

61. Dear Bug Man… by the way do you ever talk by phone? I am in need of some help and do better expressing myself live. If not, here goes…

    I don’t know what I have. I am a very sane, intelligent person with no history of delusions/paranoia. I am getting bitten by invisible bugs… though sometimes I can see little black specs/fibers from them. Actually, quite a lot in the beginning before I started treating them more correctly. They bite me around my chest, love my feet (horribly infested all my shoes), are in my hair… My ankles have some lesions. I can’t tell if they are from shoe scrapes… but I think it’s the bugs.

    I think that when I soak in a strong soap by SHakelee, they come out of my body… they then look like black specs or tiny white slugs? Or maybe that’s something else coming out of my skin, like puss (sorry to gross anyone out).

    This started two years ago. I belived it was fleas and treated with chemicals, chemicals, chemicals. It didn’t go away but it was managable. Three months ago it became unmanagable. My lungs started shutting down, the itching became unbearable, the panic huge. I am now on anti-anxiety meds and wear rubber shoes. I do not use many chemicals and am on a more organic treatment kick. I am taking vitamins, etc. I have tried a number of things which appear to help but not solve the problem. I used permethrin cream and lice treatment twice (that helped). I wash my clothes with ammonia in hot water (that sometimes helps, not always). I use a special enzyme to spray my room and belongings… believing these may be mites that could be killed by this enzyme (not sure if it’s working).

    At a certain point I started to think I was just crazy because I could get rid of them on my clothes, belongings for a few hours, maybe a day, but then they’d return. They are worse at night so I take sleep medication.

    Recently, I had proof I am not imagining this. I went to my mother’s house and her dog is now infected, scratching all the time. My mother is feeling it a little bit too. Any thoughts? I’ve asked three doctors, two exterminators, read blog after blog… I am at a loss and in much pain! THank you thank you thank you for any suggestions you can offoer. All best.

    - It doesn’t sound like bugs. If you are using permethrin, that isn’t good. Don’t go near any pesticides and watch your diet as mentioned on other places on the blog. The specks and fibers you see may be clumps of bacteria trying to exit your body to get away from the chemicals.

62. Regarding Jame,s comment, mine is from mold!!! These all started when I discovered a leak in my house, after a year of this, I cleaned it without proper guidelines and every since, sores with hairlike fibers, shortness of breath, even my dog developed a softball sized tumor, etc…I’m wondering if these ?hairs aren’t spores landing on. My skin? I bought a kicken air filter w uv lights from amizon for 60 bux, normally 300…well worth cheecking out. Thanks to the Bugman and James, Big Time!!!

    - Kimberly I am hoping that my problems is likes yours, that it is mold… I feel like I am losing my mind, and maybe I am!!! My mom thinks I have gone completely nuts, and I am sure my landlord hates me, I never seen a flea in my life so I just assumed when someone told me what they saw in my house was fleas.
      This is kind of a long story; About what has seemed like forever,5 weeks ago I was having “issues” going to the bathroom “constipated” I have multiple sclerosis and that is one of the symptoms, so I really didn’t put to much into it. Then I could go for 5 days and went to doctor (not the brightest one) I told him that I had blood and mucus and I have lost 15 pds in month.. I bet you can guess what it was.. It was a worm(parasite). So after I read on the internet that it was highly contiguous, I have a two year old, I started cleaning my house and this is going to sound gross but my daughter is only two! I was cleaning in the living room and I looked at one of my pots it look like there was poop on it so I started cleaning it and it look like they had eggs on it, yep my daughter put her worms in pot, and in another one, even in my shoe… Then I started to see I don’t know shedding of some sort in my plant. Well the next day we went to the er and I told them that we both have worms, maybe it came from the worm, they told me that you can’t see them w/naked eye. My cousin took my daughter and me home and help me clean and she they kind of look flea larva so I am like okay! That is better then a parasite, and when I went to grab the red speck of (I don’t know what) it bit me (still have the bite mark)
      I had my landlord spray for fleas, because a dog lived downstairs and thought maybe they came through the venting.. But when I looked at fleas online they are moving with legs. mine I will see jump, not allot though.
      I have seen 3 different kinds after the shedding, I guess it was. They are small and red but some are really small like a speck of dirt, these ones you kill and they leave a stain behind like blood, then I have one that is more pinkish it took like tissue, and one that looks like lint.. The lint one likes the heat because when I turn on my coffee maker. they swarm to it. But they are biting me and my daughter,,, I will have so many in my hair. my mouth (where I got bit as well) I got them really bad yesterday. when the people below where moving. so I thought for sure they had to be fleas. when I took the sample to the bug at our Heath department they said it was nothing, and I started to grow weird crystallize thing in my pant when you crush them they are crunchy,,,
      They said I had nothing, so I went back to my house, to see if I was nuts,,,,, I could smell it right when I walked in it smelled like a dirty old shoe, I went into my bathroom and there were little red specks in some cleaning stuff that I put on my counter,
      So Did your mold smell like a dirty old shoe or smell bad?

63. Bugman, like everyone else here, I need some help! A friend of mine was having some sort of infestation in her apartment. She would tell me she could feel the bugs “moving” on her and biting, and said it was worse at night. I helped her move things into storage so she could have the rugs changed and we were also doing a lot of vacuuming of the rugs and furniture, which may have stirred things up.

    After being in her apartment helping her for several days I started experiencing similar symptoms in my apt. I was at home sitting on my couch one evening when I started feeling stinging, tingling, itching and some biting on my lower legs. It got worse over the next day or two and I was also feeling it in bed. Also the same feeling of things “moving” and “jumping” on me that she had described. The “tingling”, “moving” sensations also spread to my arms and head.

    I sprayed with an Ortho product (for bed bugs, fleas and mites) which helped knock them back for a couple days but then they started up again. I had my apartment fumigated with permethrin and that also knocked them back for a couple days before they again returned in force.

    My friend and I have each put out glue traps and flying traps but didn’t see anything, even with a magnifier. Her fumigator guessed it was mites, mostly by the process of elimination. Everyone (internet, fumigators) says mites should be visible but we can’t find any evidence. Several dermotologists said it is not scabies and there is no evidence of bed bugs.

    Any ideas you can give us please?

    Also, I’m scared that I will transmit whatever this is to my work and infect people there. What is the likelyhood of that?

    Thanks!

    - I doubt if you will infect anyone. It doesn’t sound like any kind of bug. More likely a chemical reaction. Read the blogs here as there are several possible causes besides mites or insects.

      - Believe me, i read almost the whole blog! but the fact that i definitely picked it up from my friend seems to rule out a chemical reaction. also the fact that spraying knocks it back for a couple days. Any other possibilities? And if it does happen to be mites, how contagious are they?

        thanks.

        Posted by Jerry | October 30, 2012, 5:14 pm

      - Jerry, I know I caught this from someone as well. I think most people are safe from this unless they have a weak immuine system or unless as in your case something is done to stir up a large quanity of them at once. How is your sinuses? How about your Throat? Ive got an idea, but want to hear your answers to those questions first.

        Posted by James | October 31, 2012, 12:35 am

      - James, my sinuses and throat are fine. I do expect that we stirred up a lot of them at my friends when we vacuumed before they changed out the rug. While my friend is very sensitive to things I am not at all and generally have a very robust immune system.

        I had my place fogged today by a fumigator (permethrin product). Will have to wait and see what the results are. What is your idea?

        Posted by Jerry | October 31, 2012, 5:30 am

      - Hi Jerry, I cant vouch for your case, but from what ive seen this is contagious. I know for fact it is because after wondering about it myself i finally was shown proof it is. Whenever I would visit my mom her dog would start pawing at its eyes the second I walked in the door after id become infected, welll i didnt think anything of it until my mom pointed it out.. soon after that started happening her dog got diabetes that the Dr couldnt get under control, the dog went blind and then not too longer died from the diabetes. well them one day my aunt brouight up to me how her dog alwayts paws at its eyes when i came over…same thing, both were schnauizers. her dog also got diabetes and is blind now, but still alive and doing ok. I am sure that i gave this to them just by their reacttions alone when i would see them oh and my aunts other dog a doberman, mysteriously died not too long ago as well. This affects our pets much worse than us. besides the dictyostelium that ive mentioned elsewhere on this site, maybe even the vector for the dictyo is extremely small flies of some sort, they are as small as a speck of dust and they usually fly at about knee height, not often above that, they are hard to see and are mostly a opaque whitish color. you can see them by setting up a bright light at knee height and watch for a spot reflecting in it, or when you feel them on your skin immediately slap a piece of clear 3m or even duct tape on the spot and examine with a magnifier, you will see little triangle shapes. You need a microscope to see them any closer, but kind of resemble a fungus gnat and for all i know may be? I think some people are calling these things smart dust, because, in the light coming in thru a window they look like a speck of dust moving on air currents..not really sure how to kill them, they hide really well being so small and can get thru the tiniest of cracks in the wall., not sure what they are doing on us, but my guess is eating fungus from skin or pores or laying eggs,but thats all just a guess. Regardless of whether you believe me or not or if this is your problem or not, definitely Heed Joes advice about chemicals and also about gmo foods, they are not going to help you at this point. these things will overwhelm your immune system by their numbers now that you are infected. so you need to act fast and tryto boost your immune system now instead of later. i dont know any magic bullets to kill them fast, but there is ways to get rid of them with diligence. had this almost 6 years, just figured out a year ago how to get better and am at 99% now.. good luck to you/

        Posted by James | October 31, 2012, 7:32 am

      - Jerry sorry for that long post, more direct answer to your question.. I believe there is a extremely small fly that is causing a lot of us this problem, I believe it is living in our pores and or in our sinuses, ears, and or throats. I believe the correct term would by Myasis. It tends to start at our feet and i believe this to be because they eat fungus they slowly work up to about our knees, then next you will feel them either on your scalp and face or your arms. go long enough llike me, and you get them in your sinuses and ears. lots more, but keep in mine this is just mmy opinions, im no doctor or bug person, just telling you what ive observed myself. Ive had morgellons 6 years although this past year im finally getting better. anyways i wish you tthe best

        Posted by James | October 31, 2012, 7:40 am

      - As I’ve said before in response to jerry, mine started with chronic sinusitis, sore throats and then came the bizzarre morning thrush like things, they look like worms, then dry to look like a small sticklike thing, I wouldn’t say iinsect, worm, etc. I’m really looking into candidiasis , definately fungal and suprisingly the sores do not get staph as the fungal gnats eat the bacteria. I’m sticking w this theory. My bowel movements also were pussy and had string like substances. Dropped my specimen off two days ago, can’t wait to get those results although after all the negatives, I’m not getting too excited. I’ll let y’all know.

      - The reason I say that is, I thought I had fleas even told my landlord that I had them, he put me up in a hotel for 3 nights and he had it sprayed even though the exterminator said he couldn’t see anything! It was okay for a couple of days, then they started coming back… So I bomb the place, did okay for about 2 days. then it got worse, then even worse, I called my landlord and said I am being eat alive, I had a gut feeling that they were not fleas, because everything i looked at didn’t look like what I was seeing! They are mostly small and you can’t see them, they look like lint mostly, or dirt of some sort.. The health department gave me sticky paper and nothing I went looking for them to show the exterminator ..They have a smell, but my mom has them in her house now and she doesn’t smell them they smell like butt or dirty shoe to me..

      - Hey I really don’t think its contagious
        u are a draw or not however would u explain 6 people in the house and only one suffer…sea water

        will give some peace till we understand all of this. spray all except , your eyes and collect at high tide is better plus the pets who also suffer sea water works great but not in the eyes please !!!! spary/body/house/

64. Mites aren’t contagious. Bird mites and rat mites will bite, but will not breed on your or infest you. Demodex mites live in your hair follicles, but almost everyone has them. Some people react to them, but it is rare. What you describe certainly isn’t scabies or chiggers. Not much more in the mite that can bite you. A few, but they live on plants.

65. I left a message last night… ignore it.. And to everyone who is starting think that they are crazy! You’re
    not… what you are feeling is real… I thought that I had IBBS even made a appointment today to see a
    Psychologist, thank god I didn’t they would of diagnose me with this syndrome, to add to my list! To
    the girl Angela way back in June, what you saw in the meat is a parasite, a blood fluke… The white lint
    that your seeing or saw on your hands and probably everywhere else.. And serious Doc. today are not
    the brightest, or they just don’t really listen to the patients, when they need too…. But the fluke enters
    through your skin and its white, and changes colors to pinkish color, red, brown, but you mainly get
    them from water, that is why you saw it in your meat, the cows, pigs, sheep, drink the water and get the
    liver flukes. Most slaughter houses will check the liver before they send the meat, so it sounds like Bars
    doesn’t!! I currently have them everywhere, because my daughter is two and she is still in the diaper
    and my house is infested. I mean infested and when I first found the worms in the house,(my daughter,
    was probably scared and took them out of her diaper and hid them all through house) told the doctors it
    look like sheds of eggs and tissue and blood and white lint things. He told me she had the pin worm.
    and I thought I had that too. Nope the fluke can look like a worm or a fish kind of thing.. I have
    appointment with DR tomorrow, I will update. This is also to the first message as well, because they are
    red and attach themselves, and exterminators will say it’s not a bug, they also go in your hair, towels,
    nose. and mouth… And the reason she was getting it on her privates, is that is how they are released
    she had the worm or came in contact with someone that did, and the eggs are in the urine and bowel
    movements,,, But to all that everyone keeps telling you that its nothing, I took a sample to the Health
    department, they made me feel like crap, I told them what it look liked, even told them what my
    daughter did! Said it was nothing but dirt…. Go with your gut, it’s usually right.

    - Have you read everything on this blog? I would highly suggest that you go back and read everything the bug man has posted. If you have a blood fluke it will show up in tests. Read all my past posts too. What you have is real but it may not be what you think it is. We are all concerned for any one suffering with this.

      - Oh right now, Debbie I wish more then any thing, that you were right!! Unfortunately I was. We took in my daughters Bowl Movement in the doctors, it is confirmed she does have the blood fluke, how severe? I don’t know!! They are going to be running tests on her all day tomorrow! And I am almost 99% sure that she got it from me. I don’t know how long I have had it, I think I am the late stage though… I don’t think I have ms, because when I was diagnosed last year, they thought I had minagitas, and the doc came to the conclusion that with my lesions and symptoms that it was multiple sclerosis.. To the comment on the blood test, I asked the ER doctor about that, because I have had countless tests, but he said usually you can’t, it has to be specific test, you just can’t say I have parasite, (because I did say that 4 weeks ago),to find out which one! I stumble on it by accident,I got my lab results back last week and it said my liver levels where high, so I typed in on google: can parasites affect your liver? Guess what came up liver fluke, well not really thinking to much about it, I thought that I had yes, but not the blood fluke, I did more research last night and found the blood fluke and all the symtoms matched mine along with the brain lesions.. And when you are at acute stage the eggs come out of your pours! It gross as you no what! I am going to go in tomorrow, and see I wanted to go at 3:00 am last night but, my mom talked me in to waiting for one more day.. For my daughter to give her this day! She has been saying “trick or treat” for two weeks and is so excited..

      - Jamie, this just goes to show you that we can’t lump everything into one category. All the posts on here can get quite confusing. I think we get so desperate some times when we are trying to explain things that the physicians just don’t understand us and think it is only paranoia. Of course you do see people with paranoia and when you are suffering with something like this you certainly can feel paranoid, as any one would. Then there are very caring physicians that just don’t have this type of thing in their scope of experience. It is unusual. They simply don’t know what to do. I am so terribly sorry and hope that the flukes can be treated appropriately. If you have been diagnosed with MS then that adds a whole new dimension. It may not be MS at all but lesions caused from the flukes. I just wish I could reach through this blog right now and let you know how much I care and am concerned for you and your family. I am a nurse, which doesn’t mean I know a thing. You usually only become an expert in your own disease. That is why it is critical to continue to help give others information so that they can adequately assess and try to get the needed help. I would say that from now on, a stool culture for anyone continuing to suffer should be considered. Is there any other way to diagnosis it in the early stages that you know of? Knowledge is power. You know what you are dealing with and I believe that with God’s help, you will get the treatment that you need. Please keep us posted. Love and prayers, Debbie

I’ll let u know my results as soon as I get them. I will forward u my email as well as the bugman was awesome in doing this for me before, btw, thank you bugman. Thank u for this site for people liike us who can’t get the help we need from healthcare pros, I’m iin the healthcare field and I can’t get a handle on this yet.

66. I have been dealing with the invisible bugs for 3-4 years now. I have tried everything. DE, Borax, Eucolyptis Oil, Tea Tree Oil, enzymes, etc. I recently threw out and replaced furniture. I sprayed a bleach solution throughout my house, washed all clothes and bedding, froze pillows, blankets etc in a deep freezer for 12 hours at a time. It worked temporarily, but they are back again. It is so depressing. We love our home but can’t stand the onslaught every night. Yes, they only come out at night. As soon as the night comes on, so do the symptoms. My mother-in-law noticed this as well.

    I rub tea tree each night in my hair, eyebrows, skin, everywhere every night for 3.5 years now. I travel a lot and do not have symptoms most times I away, if I have not taken them with me. As soon as I return, they are on me again.

    I had a friend over tonight, he saw my tea tree ritual. He asked if it were the bugs. He then went on to ask me if they tickled my ears, crawled up my nose and eyebrows. He nailed it without me even telling him. He said he was feeling it all night, and was wondering if that is what I had been talking about. My wife and others have felt them as well, so i know if it not just me.

    I bought a microscope and try to find samples. i have had a few, but it is hard to find an entymologist in the area, and my samples get ruined before I get a chance to have a look. No real hard proof, but certianly hair like and sometimes pink or blue in color. Glass like worms with frayed ends. I need a stronger micro with a digital camera option.

    Don’t want to sell or move as we love the house, neighborhood, etc.. but don’t know how long I can keep this up. Very sad and depressing.

    I wish I could definitively identify and treat, but the nightmare drags on…

    - Mine comes out at night, too. Lots of insect poop comes out of my legs soon as it gets dark. Horrible situation but had an entomologist say the debris looks like bed bug feces. I’m taking lots of garlic. He told me to spray alcohol and steam clean floors with alcohol solution. Bed bugs come out at night!!!

      - I sprayed once with Ortho Home Defense, which is birfenthrin, which knocked them down for a couple days but then they came back. Then the fumigator at our apartment complex came out and sprayed with either pyrethrin or permethrin, not sure which. It was a liquid spray, i believe on carpets and baseboards. that also knocked it back for a couple days but then it came back.

        A week later i had them come out again and this time they fogged with an aerosol can of CB-80, which is pyrethrin) and that helped a lot. It seemed to take 2-3 days before they got better, which i don’t understand because I was told that pyrethrin was only a knock-down with no residual (i.e., only kills initially on contact, it doesn’t keep killing for a few days like some others do.) Maybe it weakened them and that’s what i was feeling for the couple days. But it has been a LOT better for the last 4-5 days. I thought it might be over but today i’m feeling a some symptoms again - “tingling” and feeling like they’re “jumping on me.” (Which could be due to my being over at my friend’s last night helping with her bugs, although i shed my clothes and showered right away when i got home). So I need to spray again and see if that knocks them down completely. I also got some GreenBug products which the bugman recommended in this blog. The ingredients are cedar oil and something they describe as “liquid quartz” which might be a silica gel? Haven’t tried this yet; still working with the permethrin sprays for now.

    - Thanks for sharing especially about the blue fibers. In taping my bed, body and furniture I have come up with an inordinat amount of blue fibers( I own nothing blue that could produce). The miroscope use by my exterminator doesn’t show any worm features and there has been no evidence of bugs on the tape. But, whatever it is they’re eating me up. Had 2 biopsies last week to try an identify the cause but, based on what I’ve read here, that will probably be a wasted effort. I recently had the shingles in June and have engaged pesiticide company for my lawn so I’m beginning to think the comments about the immune system issues and chemical reactions have merrit. All the comments on these sites are terrifying but, at least I know I’m not alone. Depression is kicking my butt!

      - I too had shingoes for the third time, I’m 41yo female, prior to this as well. My biopsies were consistent with bug bite reaction and/or drug euption, allergy..my blood,urine,stool sampkes all came back normal so my immune system was shot from the shingles and stress which at thazt time was black mold in my house, then, this. I’m doing organic meat, minimized cosmetics, hair and face and am trying to remain stress free and chemical free. I’m also takiing a supplement now in relation to candida and bacteria both, again, another 35 bux prob wasted. I’ve tried everything listed in this entire website short of any medical clinical trials, and while the sores are sloughing off from not using chemicals and the supplements, I don’t believe I’ll ever be the same so my advice, forget drs, they r clueless w this, stik to no chems, no stress, no junk food, organic all the way and do everything you can to boost ur immune system and cleanse the toxicicity ur body became clogged withand only then will youj slowly, and I mean slowly, start to see resujlts. You must make sure u also get plenty of sleep as ur body heals while u sleep. After this long battle, cancers gonna be a breeze but I’m afraid I’ve used all I had lefrt in me on this. Think only God can help me at this point as its worn me to nothning. No life, money left, etc. Trying hard to get out of this frame of mind but ik know you all know where I am. We all go their, then pull ourselves back up, thanks to all who’ve helped me pull myself back up!! We r getting their, alowly but surely and thank u Bugman, I know you now have the chem speil on a cut n paste opt at this time, lol. Theirs a lot of us out their and hoopefully ur advice is the right path as I’m worn thin.

67. I for got to mention, my friend who I got this from has been pushing her funigator to do something more. They don’t want to spray again since they don’t know what it is but they are going to try freezing with CO2. They said this will freeze everything in the apartment and should kill everything. (This should be a lot more effective than selectively freezing pillows, linens, etc.)

68. Freezing the whole house with CO2? That sounds interesting, as I think something like that would really be the onlt solution. I would not be surprised if they receed into the the dry wall is these things are as microscopic as they get. Where are you based? Not sure if they offer this type of treatment down under.

    - Turns out It wasn’t quite freezing the whole apartment. They spray CO2 out of a nozzle from a pressurized can so it comes out very cold (-140 degrees, according to the fumigator) and will kill any bugs they spray with it. They use it the same way they would spray a pesticide - spray the rug, walls, etc. But it’s not useful to spray clothes, books or other types of household articles, because it only freezes right where the spray hits so it’s only good for surfaces.

      My guess is that it’s probably widely available.

      - I have often thought of hiring a cold room and sticj the furniture, bedding in it to freeze. Drastic, but freezing seems to help with pillows, blankets, etc. I may hire a steam cleaner, as this would get deeper into mattress and couch. Anyway, thanks for your feedback Jerry.

70. Need advice, since 2 weeks ago i feel something biting me all over my body, at night and at work. Not sure what it is or what to do since I recently moved to a new very stressful job and office I thought the office had bugs and sprayed. A tree around my house super big was recently cut and maybe bugs from the tree flew into my house? I also bought a new detergent…My body is now covered with red bite like marks head to toe, itches horribly from toe to my hair and I do not know what to do, i don’t see anything…
    please help!

    - It isn’t any bugs off the tree. I suspect the stress has caused the problem as what you described doesn’t sound like any bug. Even mites wouldn’t bite you all over like that and if you had that many you would see them. Possibly the detergent, but something is causing bacteria in your body to react.

    - I have never heard of anyone on this forum talk about it. It is also called Transient Acantholytic Dermatosis. You can look it up on Web MD. It is very rare. Hope you have found an accurate diagnosis and the treatment is effective. Be sure to follow your physicians instructions to the T with the prednisone. Good Luck.

72. I have eczema and I have spent most of my life ignoring my triggers because it’s inconvenient. As a result, I almost always have some sort of skin rash. In fact, I wouldn’t know how to act if I didn’t! I have keratin deposits that seem like tough pimples on my shoulders, pseudo-dandruff and a plethora of other skin issues that I deal with, usually unconsciously. The point being that it takes quite a bit to get my attention. I have no idea how long I’ve had these ‘bites’ but I know that I’ve actively been seeking a resolution for over 6 months. The ones on the back of my neck made me think lice, then bedbugs, then mites, then staph infection (infected hair follicles) and I would hop back and forth trying different things all to no avail. I have gone on borderline-OCD cleaning sprees and have returned to making my own laundry detergent. I have gone back to natural shampoos and conditioners, sometimes foregoing them altogether in favor of apple cider vinegar or baking soda. I use tea tree like it’s going out of style. I don’t eat red meat and have stopped with dairy-using almond or coconut milk instead. After developing pseudo-strep throat for the 2nd time, I eliminated all artificially sweetened drinks. I am phasing gluten-free products into our pantry and have started juicing raw vegetables because I’m 90% more likely to drink them than eat them on a plate. Anyway, I am pleased with all the changes I have made but they have not affected the ‘bites’ on my neck and scalp. I feel like a guinea pig and I’m exhausted and I’m frustrated. Going completely organic and cotton-free and all that is not realistic for me. Are there cleanses that actually work to flush the toxins out so that I might see results sometime soon? I know better than to go to a dermatologist; it amazes me how much they don’t know about skin conditions. Sigh…anything you haven’t already said 43 times? 😉

      - I cant wear polyester cause im allergic to it. I have to wear cotton or rayon and spandex. Is there anyway to treat cotton clothes to rid of chemicals? I started getting crawly feelings on my skin and biting sensations. I think it might be from next door neighbors who were cooking meth. It really affected me until I turned them in, and also the landlord sprayed under the complex with chemicals for the spiders and bugs which was very strong smelling when I returned home.

    - You could read my old posts and try some of the things we tired. We used lots of enzymes etc. At least you are on the right track. I use a VIta Mix and juice every morning. I don’t buy much organic but use a wash for my fruits. I don’t eat much meat at all. You might want to look at Dr. Fuhrmans web site. He has a book called ” Eat to Live.” It is great. It is lots of hard work but you can do it. Do you have any digestive symptoms?

75. I have some proof to say that what is happening is not a syndrome but a real invisible bug bite.
    Please note carefully what is happening to me almost since three years,one year after my joining and only inside my office cabin at place Barbil, Orissa state of india One important thing to be noted is that whenever I change my cabin inside my factory which is an iron ore pellet plant, bug biting do not take place for a day or two but starts back with same sevearity and remains continueously till I sit inside.The fact that this IBB does not happen to all others who are sitting inside my cabin gives a doubt that it may be some chemical action inside my skin. But some more symptoms happening to me rule out this.During the bite on my face head and other open skin area ocassionaly I feel some bug is entering my ear and even my eyes some time.
    I have come to following conclusion based on my IBB experience.
    It is a real microbe type invisible bug bite.
    This IBB happens to few people probably due to skin smell and also because of weak immunity from skin.
    But surely it happens in some forest or mines locations but for very few persons such that one may find such bite never happens to any body else even if the person is weak in general immune.
    Best possible remedy to counter this problem:
    Change the location
    Use natural skin toner
    Avoide using excess soap or chemicals
    Try to maintain good health
    Wishing for the best and for relief from iBB

76. I’m guessing you’ve never heard of this because I haven’t seen you make mention of it… But with this poor woman & probably all of the others are suffering from what is being called Morgellon’s disease. Most people believe it is caused by chemicals pumped into out atmosphere by airplanes spraying “chemtrails” in an effort to manipulate the weather & as a by-product also manipulate crop fields & harvests. It’s presents with these itching sypmtoms, lesions, colored fibers like you mentioned that can come out of the body and are found in the lesions & scabs themselves. You can look into this further as there are many websites, YouTube videos, etc. with evidence of these symptoms & what these people who suffer from this think is causing it, & what they have tried to do to help the disease. Unfortunately I believe that this disease is not accepted as real by the government or the CDC which might be part of the reason this woman & many others have problems getting any straight answers. I have seen a very simple test one can do to test yourself for Morgellon’s disease. If you have some organic grape juice or red wine (and you can look this method up elsewhere to be sure, but this is how I was told it works) and it has to be organic to work properly… Take the liquid & swish it in your mouth for quite awhile… It can take upwards of 5-6 minutes. Then spit the liquid onto a white plate or other clean, white surface where you can best see the contents of your mouth. Once you spit it out, look at the liquid & people with Morgellon’s will have fine, thread-like, mostly clear, strings or fine spider web like threads all over mixed in with the liquid. ( If you want to see what the results look like to compare, there are many videos on YouTube with positive results)
    So I hope at least this info gives someone at least an extra avenue to look into that can help them in their search for relief!

77. My goodness! I’m so glad I ran across your site, I was in a similar situation this past summer but its different and I’m not sure if its the same, I too woke up one night feeling stuff crawling all over me my bf reassured me that it was nothing(I freak totally out if I see a bug and he wanted to sleep lol) but the next day I kept feeling crawling almost poping feelings on my face and arms I started to notice little lint pieces on my face like one or two and the next day I noticed a bite right above my right boob lol like right under my clavical,it was sore and I had no clue where it came from ppl came out told me nothing was in my aprt or matress and like you said they wanted to spray the heck out of my place but I said no! Few days later I notices a small black tip comming out of my bitten are I took out what looked like a stinger! But also at the time I stopped taking my newly started suplement MSM idk which was fthe reason but the crawly feeling stoped after I did both so after stoping msm for a week(iwasnt on it long) I began to take it again and I it started the crawly feeling so I stoped taking the msm lol I want to started again its a good supplemtn but I can’t deal with the crawly weird stuff I also sprayed my window seals which had black mold and the mold went away I didn’t raise my windows for monts but when I did no crawly feeling so I’m not really sure if it was mold , the stinger or msm either way I was trying to get rid of that ish!

78. In Europe, people sometimes become infected with what is called the “crabs.” The infection is often passed through sexual contact or uncleanliness. I had the crabs once back in the early sixties; as a travelling professional musician my group was provided free living quarters where we stayed, and sometimes they were rather unclean. We even experienced that the bed sheets hadn’t been changed.

    The crabs which I experienced were very small and appeared slightly reddish. They caused intolerable itching, although they didn’t seem to bite directly. A visit to the doctor resulted in the usage of a powder which killed them in masses, for a few days my shorts were speckled with little bodies and then the drama was over.

    - Crab lice are one of three types of lice that get on humans. The other two are head lice and body lice. Crab lice are transferred by sexual intercourse. They do not leave the host person and get in furniture or in clothes. Oddly enough they will also infest chimpanzees, but no other animals. I guess humans and chimps are closely related, or at least taste the same.

    - Crabs would be a relief Ralph, however I’m wondering, do they live for six years as some people have had this for that long? Do crabs come ot of your skin looking like fibers and many other odd appearing “dead” organisms? No. Morgellons does this. It produces “insect and/or mite appearing organisms”. Why does everyone go the derm w a boxful of their skin? If I was a derm id thnk we were all delusional too…but as this site is proving, epic numbers of people are dealing w the same thng, “something new in our society” as the plague was in bibllical times. No cure, just relief of symptoms. The first step is finding this site, the second, avoiding everythng bugman mentions in this site which gives you the sanity you need to research urself starting with dycosylium (sp?) Mold/candidal systemic yeast infection diet and/or take ur chances and spend thousands like I did on doctors and products which put me in my current situation. Whatever you do, I can’t stress enuff, don’t pick and stop sugar…the answer we r all looking for is how to become healthy again from the inside, out. The bugmans answer to the IBBS is the only answer that even came close to helping me, if anyone out their doesn’t know why they can’t get anyone to listen, believe you or heal urself, then you may have what people named this “morgellons” too. A lot seems insane like nanos, chem trails etc, u be ur own judge but start with cutting chemicals, etc…copy and paste is phenominal approach, as many people do not read the blog, 210 comments which in itself is scary, but real. Stop chemicals, stop sugar, end of story until u see a news brodcast appear of a new disease spreading like wildfire in the country. Until then the only thng u can do is the above.

79. Let me guess first you feel something crawling on your stomach, neck, face, EVEN INSIDE YOUR NOSE. After you feel it crawl its a sting and then your in the mirror trying to dig some shit out that only you can see. no one else is getting bit and no one can see the little red, black, blue, or white specs. they kinda look triangular shaped. After they bite you they almost seem like they attached them selves under a few layers of your skin and are growing with ever taste of you. they make the inner part of your vagina look like you have warts or pimples or some crap the only way you can pry them from your flesh is with tweezers and some scissors its could almost be described as shards of glass in that area. went to the doctor and the said that theres nothing maybe your allergic to your laundry soap or your waters to hard on you…. you literally want to die.. I know the answer …. what you got is real

    - Let me guess?? A chemical reaction from too many chemicals used to treat urself and ur house…the chemicals build up toxins in ur body ur body can’t efficiently elimiinate so what ur seeing is the bacteria coming out of ur pores which also could be fungal in nature, most likely in fact..short and I mean short, as their are a million different thngs that go with this, but U most likely went through a stressful event lately or something that lowered ur immune system whiich woke up a sleeping monster quite possibly called candida albicans, a fungal infection. Look up this condition and also dycosyleum mold or “slime mold” as what ur feeling “crawling etc” is a huge chance its fungal in nature..ur best bet is to NOT self treat w chemicals and do not take any meds as this needs to be healed w time, diet and excerscise as many have stated in this site..also do xactly what the bugman has on copy n paste mode most likely at this point as its the best answer or read the answer from “james”..its helped me tremendously and I’ve been dealing w this hell for 15 mnths..trust me, don’t pick, will destoy ur life and may lead to Morgellons which is hell on earth. I’m not a Doctor and they may be able to help you only if you have a real sample..or they most likley will tell you u r delusional if u walk in w something for them to see. Its sad and obv a horrible disease that until now, never knew existed but if I knew then what I know now, I would never have touched the “bites” and would never, possibly, have Morgellons now. So, don’t pick, no chemicals, eat healthy, cut sugar and stress and good luck!!! Read all these blogs and stay true to what everyone is saying. Don’t let it go too far. Btw, I’ve had a mites or parasites for 15 months, not possible. Sorry.

82. Hello Mr Bugman, is it possible that these “invisible” bugs are Demodex?
    Those pesky skin parasites that are part of the natural “flora” of humans and animals sometimes get over abundant when one’s immune system is weekend by chemicals and anti-biotic and steroids type meds.

    You can see your dogs get startled out of his sleep and act all weird like he’s being bit by some invisible crawlers.

    Would it be good to take Probiotics and avoid chemicals?

    My dog was treated all it’s life for allergies with prednisone and sometimes antibiotics when the skin got infected by too much scratching until one day it got so bad I ended up driving far to a pet dermatologist who looked for and found an overgrowth of demodectic mange and treated for that. My dog is better now although he’s still allergic to pollen but I treat with oinment only.

    Thanks for all you do.

    - Demodex mites normally live only in the hairline and around the eyebrows. They are small but not invisible, so unless the problem is on that part of the body, I doubt if it is Demodex mites.

84. I want to cry. I think it has been about a year now that I felt these things crawling on me. I see white fibers on my sheets and in the air if I shake my clothes out in direct sunlight. it is not really the itch but the crawling sensation like worms but I cannot see or oul anything off of me. My mother complained of this in 2009 after slipping into a coma from the same meds given to MJ that caused his death. She was diabetic her sugar fell she passed out. Took glucose ame around. Too much glucose made her anxious , they gave atavan then she had respitory failur. Gave her propopal and intibated three times. She was in a coma 1 month before the crazy doctors would kisten too me. Diabetes for 20 yrs. lead to reanal failure and her kidneys could not flush the propapal so it took a day for her to wake up after she was completely off med. smh.. she complained that she felt like bugs crawling in her after recovery , and in her nose for two yers after that. Then she was told sshe had some kind if fungus in her stomach and esophagus. she was in so many meds . but theses are chemicals.

    - well, you mentioned stress, I have 5 kids and a husband who was in Iraq and has ptsd. Between my taking care if my mom and keeping my family sane and unemployment here and there, I guess I qualify . My mom passed in my home Feb 2011 which made the situation in my hone sad and stressful.I started smoking to destress. More Chemicals! I noticed when I came back from her house I started feeling the fi ers but cant see anythibg on my skin. No Slime.Just tiny white fibers that look like lent or cat hair. Can only aee them on dark sheets or surfaces or floating in the air in direct sunlight. like white lent.
      sometimes tthey stop ike now they are quiet but when I move or think about them they start up. I can hear them pop around my ears then they calm down. they seem worse around wood and the static electricity from my computer makes them crazy . I can feel them drop iff and down. They react to nerves. sometimes I fet frustrated and just cry. I was depressed and think the residuals from ptsd caused trauma damage. My husband is better Thank God,Kids are fine, Im so thankfuk but I am left with this stuff. No one in the house complains but me. I foufgt so hard to save my mom and family I do not have the energy to deal with this. I,a child psychologist studying the effects if ptsd has had so much ptsd that I think my nervous system over loaded and I am too depressed. I cleaned washed sheets sprayed chemicals which I know not to do now. Thanks!:-) I discovered carpet beetles. killed them with boric acid. washed with hot water and borax. Pray. But faith without works is dead. I guess God wants me to quit smoking go to the gym keep an immaculate home and totally change how I eat. we finally haave a trader Joes and a whole foods. please pray that God blesses me with strength obedience and the ability to implement a new life style. im crying now because he brought me through so much but still have to fight. for my sanity. I pray we find a cure. Being kind to ourselves and oyr environment. we need to lobby the gov. to stop using all this stuff in our foods and goods and services. I will beat this too! 🙂 Thanks.

I now take homeopathic drops region for the state I am in, New Mexico, and do apple cider vinegar, along with neti pot… when my allergies are really bad i take an anti histamine as well. the bites and itching goes away. I know that this may not be the answer for everyone but it was for me and hope it helps.

Mold spores can cause this, a fungus from springtails will also give the feeling of being bit. I have been going through this for the past two years and it only effects me, I know for a fact that we had springtails and mold in my old condo I was renting. We moved in and it was infested with fleas, rats, mold, springtails and who knows what else. This is when my nightmare began! Here is one story I found online with someone who had the same issue and was able to treat it. http://ehealthforum.com/health/topic108749.html#axzz2JcgsmiTY. There are many others online and they all have the same symptoms, people are not looking in the right place for the answer. For the past two years I have been blaming biting midges aka (no-Seeums) or Thrips which until next Tuesday I will go to the dermatologist to confirm what’s wrong. There are just way too many misleading info out there about the IBBS when it is most likely from mold spores or a fungus. Good Luck all I wish everyone the best since I know what it is like because I am dealing with it daily!

    - Mold might be a contributing factor to IBBS, but it certainly isn’t the only one. Pesticides and other chemicals, including in what we eat also contribute to it.

89. There is irrefutable scientific proof that many people who are experiencing these symptoms are testing postive for agrobacterium and other fungal and parasitic coinfections. This is no longer attributed to Delusions Of Parasitosis. There are many scientists who are now studying this emergent problem. Thank you.

90. IBBS is not a chemical reaction inside the human body but is the effect of enveronment. IBBS happens to one or two persons and that too in perticular enclosed room where the person regularly uses such as office room. To overcome this frequently apply.any good quality sanitizer liquid or oil free moisturizer to complete face and all other exposed skin portion. Slowly and steadily you will stop rubbing and scratching. Vasant B Bhadri

91. Perhaps you would elaborate on the agrobacterium and fungal crossed…theory. where did you get this information and what makes you believe this? I first wrote on this site maybe a year ago and am finally having some healing with the ulcerations by util,izong salycilic acid and avoiding chemicals, also eating and sleeping right. I do not have complete resolution but know its fungal and bacterial in nature. I look forward to the day someone has the answers once and for all. I know its systemic, stress, poor diet caused with perhaps candida in nature and is very serious and life-altering as well as life-threatening at times. Its very important to eat and sleep right, relax and do your best to heal inside out. Anyway, any new information regarding agrobacterium versus delusional parisitosis would be appreciateed. Thank you.

    - I noq think it is fungal in nature. I stopped with stimulants luke caffine. Sugar aggrivates it. I also took a detox tea. Thwn I added a canidida soap and supplement. Much less aggrivations but now im adding exercise. My husband has a fungal skin disorder that he will not treat and I believe attracts this crap. Idk im sick of ut but better off now. I think once you had it you are hypersensitivie to anything that touches you. Psychosis! Your brain learns and acts defensively. I conduct research on children and brain function.

He is away at college which is near the beach. I think the itchy bites in his room, now the laundry room is not connected. I think we all experience a combination of various enviornmental issues. Some real bugs. Some psychosis due to ocd…thinking what could this be??? And yes……… . CHEMICAL REACTIONS. Father in heavan I just ask for complete healing for all suffering.

95. how can anyone say they know what or what not this is? Insects have become resistant as ever and carry disease. They just found a new mosquito a couple of months ago and you can see that. Now a year ago you’d say there never was such an insect. We had war for 20 years and technology up the ass. Everyone in power makes decisions based on what they think is best and we know the outcome of that. GMO food, GMO bugs, Biowarfare, researchers putting human DNA in fruit flies, and/or some rich asshole with a bright idea to make some bucks????? Who knows. But the worst thing for these people is to tell them they are crazy or have anxiety, yeah, you think? I have a friend who had Lupus for several years (before they knew it was a disease). Doctors kept saying she was depressed. Asked her what did you do? answer: Cried! What about many years ago the doctor who delivered babies in the street. At the time there was a 50% mortality rate in hospitals for both women and child at childbirth. The government said the doctor couldn’t do this, but asked him what he is doing different since he had a 100% success. He said “wash my hands”. He died of an infection because he was locked up in a mental institute. True story!! The health Dept and CDC needs to do something. In the meantime, hopefully what goes around comes around because obviously there is a hell.

96. Hi Richard,
    Thank you for all of your helpful and knowledgeable posts on this blog and your website. In the past five weeks I have had a problem with “bites” pretty much spread on all parts of my body. I live in a natural area in California and do have bird feeders, but I have never had a problem before. I have done extensive scotch taping of my bed at night and examined under a 4X scope. I see no signs of anything but dead skin and cat hair. It is possible that there is a rodent in the crawl space below my bedroom, but it would be a deer mice or possibly a dusky footed wood rat. The dermatologist felt it did look like a bird mite rash and will biopsy if it does not clear up. I refused all toxic solutions. Here are my questions:
    Can I assume that with multiple bites all over my body that there would be plenty of insect evidence gathered by multiple tapings?
    Is 4X enough magnification to identify mites?
    Any other information to help me rule out mites would be helpful.
    Thank you.

    - You should be able to see mites with the hand lens, although you may not be able to identify them. It could be someething else, a chemical reaction in your body from chemicals possibly.

I have researchd every possible thing I could on my invisible bug problem and found a couple site that just pipes up after thinking it might be some type of fungus and mold spores came up and the symptoms are identical, crawling sensation, and the itching and so forth please research mold spores and check for mold spores and I also found that, bleach, borax, viniger, and ammonia kills mold spores…. please check to see if it’s mold spores, min e’er are as most gone cleaning all vents new filters

98. Hello, I too, have been dealing with this same exact problem. Fortunately for me, my boyfriend is suffering as well, so I never thought I was crazy…GOING crazy, but not crazy! 😉

    My aunt finally stumbled upon the answer, I think. I just found out about it today and went to buy bleach in all forms, drain cleaners etc. and will test it tonight. The problem, believe it or not, is mold! It produces these almost microscopic little bugs that will ruin your life! Anyone dealing with these things knows this is no exaggeration. Here is the link to the website explaining it and even offering no profit help! I hope this helps…I know you are not crazy and these ARE real parasites. If you are still suffering from them, you really should check this out… Good luck! 🙂

    - Yes I think the mold theory is accurate. It does feel like parasites crawling and stinging. Also any stimulant will magnify these allergy symptoms making you more hypersensitiv. Once you bsttle this for a long time dendryte grow and you are aware of anything crawling or dripping on you. Now water feels bad dripping after a shower. I hace had to cut caffine or I would be worse. Mold makes the most sense. I do not see the web site please email link to keeforu@bellsouth.net.

There is no need to feel punished for anything, hopeless, crazy, or in constant confusion and doubt…also, high blood sugar intensifies these things dramatically…just fyi, as do stimulants… I did the bleach, disinfectant, and drain cleaners and it actually works! 🙂 Especially the can of Lysol disinfectant for my body, surfaces, clothes, and more, for an instant quick fix..anyone can email me if they would like, or need to, I feel your pain, for real! I’ll gladly tell you what I did to finally, at long last fix this! 🙂 Good luck everyone…but luck is really not what you need…! 😉

      - Elaine, If you feel that high blood sugar magnifies your symptoms you might consider that you have systemic yeast. If you do then the lysol spray will not last.
        I think that different people on the blog may have different things. If you do find your symptoms return then re-post and I can give you some info on treating yeast. You can feel it through out your body when it become systemic.

100. I suffered with this like the everyone on here… doctor asked me if I had delusions before like this!! I do not do drugs and am of totally sane mind. Got them from some hotel. Anyways, what’s worked for me and the only thing that’s worked is NEOB LAVENDER BODY WASH (made with pure Grosso lavender essential oil) from Niagara on the Lake, Canada.

     I actually had a psychic tell me that lavender would drown them out while calming down my system from too much stress also. I first bought the lavender essence oil and put it in a vap spa mist from Clair de Lune. Only helped a little, but after buying this body wash which I apply with one of those vinyl spungy things from the dollar store all over even on my face it has helped tremendously. Then I mix a little with my shampoo. Feels like they’re all gone mostly. Just can’t get rid of them in my ears once a day or so I feel them.

     Hope that helps!

103. we have had these in my house where I rent. I do live near water. I have an open ulcer that I got since I got a paper cut on my leg. all of us have one thing or another. We do have mold spores, black mold. I have something that got inside my leg that swells my legs. The drs say is a viral infection. I got all the antibiotics they had but nothing. I also have a half organic diet because organic stuff is too expensive. I love it though. I have too many things going on to mention here. but in our house we get some bugs because we are surrounded by lots of green, we have a open nest in the porch of hornets. I have many openings on the outside where we get everybody and their moma coming in squirrels, birds, mice. Inside the house I killed what appeared to be a very slow mouse contaminated by what I have no idea. In our kitchen. In the house we have these flying strings that can fly unseen. we have these glitter like dots all over that don’t go away no matter what you do even when you tape them. Out of my body when I rub it hard I get glitter stuff coming out too. This has affected all of us. The baby is 1.5 years old and cries all night long because something is in my daughters bed what we don’t know. She scratches her neck and gets red. I used to feel crawling bugs but mine disappeared, what I do have is my neck has like a road and on occasions a lump or two. Just like the baby. I have a dark coating which might be the mold spores on my skin. My major problem is the pain I get at night have not slept a night for the last three years. The pain is in my leg front bone. The drs. Have done all the tests but see nothing except the viral infection. I am going to make an apt for mold spores on my skin to see what comes up. I am more scared for the baby life than me or my other older kids which are adults. PS the baby has the same shiny dots on her they come in and out of her skin. and are all over the floor and everywhere. What can I do to take it from the items. specially my books. I have tried all including bleach and everything mentioned here.

     - What ever you do…do not use chemicals and bleach. We also have glitter coming out. I do know it is a crystal. If you look at it under a microscope it is hexagonal shaped. There is an explanation and when I find it I will post. I am sending my samples to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. I still think that if you read the Bugman’s original post, his explanation makes a lot of sense. Ours started out black and morphed into something else but I still think it has to do with chemical exposure either in the air or food. Your body is excreting it the only way it can…through the skin.

104. This sounds like what I have suffered from since 2009. Drs. treating me like I’m crazy when I have these Black extremely small round and small opaque oval particles coming out of every pore of my skin and every orafice of my body. I feel them crawling all over me and stinging me so bad. I have been to so many doctors even enterologists and nobody knows what it is only after my Extensive research online that I discovered that I am suffering from systemic candidiasis which so many thousands of people are suffering from Which I have found through the various websites and blogs. Yet no doctors want to even consider this a possibility they refuse to believe it. They will not diagnose nor will they treat this problem. This is becoming a widespread Epidemic it is not only a disease for diabetics or for people who have HIV it is a disease for everyone and no one wants to admit it! It is highly toxic. It is yeast spores mixed with mold spores they do exist they are real they are hard to see they are toxic. I found Dr. Whitings website where you can even test yourself for it. He runs a yeast clinic in California and he spoke with me over the phone and told me that doctors don’t want to believe this but that it does exist and it is real and I am not crazy! Thousands of us who suffer from this are using our own methods to try to cure this with supplements and other natural remedies. I contracted this from the use of many antibiotics due to chronic sinus infections. I have been suffering hell on earth ever since. They are very tough to get rid of I’m not even sure if there is a cure however what we eat and also stress levels can make them worse and I’ve not slept during the night since 2009 When it all started and when it is damp out they are even worse. I too took samples on scotch tape to an infectious disease clinic where they told me I was suffering from many thousands of yeast spores and many thousands of fungal spores since yeast is a fungus! Nobody has tried to treat me since that diagnosis somehow the reports are gone missing somehow there is nothing stating That anyone diagnosed me with that I don’t know what the big cover-up is but I cannot get help from any specialist I go to no matter what state I go to. This is a nightmare and Doctors need to start admitting that this is real and more and more people are suffering from this and the Doctors need to do something about it! I live on the east coast of the United States and Dr. Whiting’s clinic is on the west coast, I too do not have the funds to travel there to see him therefore I cannot get help from him However his website offers some different products that he sells that I have yet to buy however when I have the money I surely will! You can also find Dr. Whiting on YouTube! He seems like the only Doctor to have knowledge of this disease! Hope this helps someone out there. Good luck!

     - Have you looked into possible Morgellons Disease? I do not have anything coming out of my pores, or those flying string like objects, the other person mentioned…I think it is those tangible organisms that differentiate between the awful mold spore mites and Morgellons…and I am not sure if one comes from the other, after extended periods of time.

       I had a mold inspector come out and I have over 7 million mold spores in my kitchen island! That is an unheard of number. Having the entire island ripped out, mold removal service, and then reconstruction, next week. Until then, I find closing AND covering the AC vents in my bedroom and living room, with a white garbage bag and push pins, plus using Kaboom bleach cleaner on all surface areas in kitchens and baths, plus consistently wiping down all furniture with Clorox bleach wipes, washing clothes in Borax powder, vinegar, regular Tide w/bleach alternative and / or bleach, if it’s whites, has kept them all entirely at bay for now. I also bought a clothes steamer from Walmart and steam my outfits each day before putting on, as well as store every clothing and linen item in the jumbo ziplock freezer bags. Also, bought an allergen / bed bug / mite mattress and pillow protectors. These steps have allowed life to be normal and regular sleep every night again, until the root of the problem, I am assuming (hoping), the mold spores in the kitchen, are removed… But you should really look more into that Morgellons thing, if you have stuff coming out of your pores and / or see string like materials, I think… Scary stuff. :(-

       - Thank you but it is not morgellons. They don’t just come out of my skin and they are not long and stringy. They bite so hard and I have to dig them out. They are almost microscopic black dots and skin colored oval spores aka yeast spores. I know what they are my problem is no doctors believe the thousands of people out there suffering from this! It is a true disease and I have tried everyone of those things that you mentioned even alkalizing my body and washing with borax bleach ect. They are extremely hard to eradicate and to remove from the body! I have found a mold site that all too well knows of the many molds that humans can acquire and they know that the doctors will never admit this disease because they say they can’t even if they wanted to! This website also describes the various molds and what they look like and the severe damage they do to the human body ex. Cause cancers arthritis allergies MS and much more! This website is called moldhelp.org I will be trying something new that they claim cures the candidiasis mold! I appreciate your help though thank you and God Bless!

108. Try looking at yeast spores and mold spores they bite they sting they crawl they are real and thousands of people suffer with them without the support or cure from most doctors! I have been suffering with them for 5 years. I have researched and researched and most of you on here were like me when I first got them drs said they weren’t bugs they said they couldn’t see anything but I could feel them and knew they were there just like thousands of other people on the Internet searching for cures, answers ect. Some sites are helpful yet to date there are no sure cures! So far with some sites I have gotten some relief Just google systemic candidiasis then you can see for yourself all the people that have the same symptoms and some helpful suggestions IT IS SYSTEMIC CANDIDIASIS Foir the majority of people on here!

109. I had these symptoms. I thought I was going crazy! I went to many doctors. My dermatologist asked me to go gluten free for 1 month. Within 1 week of going gluten free I no longer felt like bugs were crawling on me. If I accidentally eat gluten ( in a marinade or something I didnt realize had gluten) I have the crawling bug feeling once again! Try this there are so many great products to eat gluten free is not a hard diet! It helped me!

     - I think there are many things that can cause these symptoms. The gluten trigger
       is very interesting. In our families case, our problems started in response to chemicals. Any thing that affects the immune and nervous system could trigger the these feelings. I believe many are getting some relief from diet and nutritional intervention.

111. I beg to differ with you I was told by an imfectious disease
     Dr. and the lab that he used that I have thousands of mold spores and thousands of yeast spores. I do not have morgellons and neither do a lot of other people on here!

112. Everyone has it wrong.. I hav lived with this for 10 yrs now in Australia. I believe it’s like a deasese because now one can help. I’ve done everything but we all need a solution to kill these things. When scientists work it out.. I know I hav caught something n I think it may of come from cats? Cause they eat birds n rats. Something feral lives on them no vet or doctor know about n I reckon can b spread to humans and its a vicious circle.. Please we need answers real fast by science…

     - I am currently being treated for an allergic reaction from yeast, dust n dust mite, cats. Will take few mths to finish injections. Had 3 already and no change. Vials come from France. I hav had a pest control through my house, they could not control or kill them. There are thousands to millions n they breed so fast.. I can even feel the difference in size of these terrible things.. The pest control could feel them anyone that comes to my house can feel them.. Now I have spread them to my boyfriends bed room 100 kms away???? They are invisable I believe like transparent. If I can feel them they have to b as big as an ant? Any help? Anyone.. Quick n fast? A gas to gas the house sounds good to me..

113. Hi Im a chemistry student & i thought these people were bankers/nutts. I thought that their problem was over use of sanitisation that messed with the good bacteria on skin. WRONG ! This is very real. Ide like to help by telling morgies to make & use their own enzymes for mixing with essential oils & learn how to make their own. Also soaps made from wood ash lye & glyserin are best. MUM powder rebuild skin fast once it gets started. Citrus, rosemary & soap with chrisathenum kills collembolia & springtails. Do not have vaccination of any kind. Im still learning & everyone’s diff but it helps me.. Eat paleo only. Thanks Jo.

     your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any points for beginner blog writers? I’d
     certainly appreciate it.

115. I enjoyed all this and I know all this is true I am truly glad that finally people believe it is real. Doctors refuse to try to even learn about this condition…. I truly believe it is the yeast connection that starts it all and it gets triggered and aggravated by chemicals that we are being exposed to day after day.

118. I have been experiencing symptoms similar to those who have posted before me - the bites have been occurring for approximately 2 to 3 weeks, but the crawling sensation has been intensified over the past two days. I constantly feel like i have bugs crawling all over me. My face, my private areas, legs - absolutely everywhere. I have red bites on my legs, behind my ears, the back of my neck, and around my collarbone. When I feel the bite, it is just like a pin prick. Some bites have a white heads, while others are smaller red bumps that disappear quite quickly. Night times are the worst - when i feel as though the ‘bugs’ are their most active. At first I was thinking maybe dust mites or bird mites? Self diagnosis is a scary world to step into - there is so much information out there. I read the symptoms for these two, and what i am experiencing seems to fit.

     I am extremely interested in the idea that this ‘condition’ may be the result of diet, GMO foods and ingesting non-organic products (specifically farmed meats). I moved to the States six months ago, so I am curious as to whether or not it has taken my body six months to react to whatever chemicals are being sprayed on the food i’m eating in restaurants and the meat I am buying, cooking and eating from my local store. Although I already have generally healthy diet, i could definitely take it up to the next level (if it means i will be relieved of this nightmare).

     My question is this - can someone please recommend some suitable supplements/vitamins that restore your body to good health internally? Also would it be beneficial to do a complete detoxification for a week (just organic juices/smoothies) to completely cleanse the system? Any tips for relieving this crawling feeling in the meantime?These sleepless nights are becoming unbearable.

     I am seriously confused as to how my body is reacting to certain chemicals by producing bites?

     - You need to read old posts. Some wont be helpful. It will certainly take way more than a week to detox but that is a good start. This can be a very complex issue. Read all you can on detoxification and avoid chemicals of any kind like sunscreens etc, We have experienced the same pin prick like bite but it is all chemical related, Vitamins will be of little help in the detoxification. Why don’t you try a 6 week detox with no gluten/dairy and leave meat off or organic only? Good luck.

119. Furthermore I want to state that the infestation is internal and it comes out of your body. Bugs are being genetically modified to infest humans. You can die From this. I nearly did until I went to a doctor out in the Midwest got me on track. Make sure you get a microscope camera. Also listen to Dr. Dan Harper. Nancy Guberti Also Dr. Kolb As well as Dr. Hildegarde Stanenger. Some people are dying in a week From the misdiagnosis that it’s pneumonia. Or heart failure. If it is a bug, your have been inoculated To attract more bugs. The eggs are .less than 2 microns and float in the air like dandelion weed.. Make sure you have a good air purifier. Dr. mercola has a good one

126. I am glad to see I am not losing my mind, when I go outside, step in the grass and boom I am on fire….You can not see any bugs, and you only see raised bumps. if I wear sock, rain boots, and spray bug spray on me I am ok, but if I dont I am not outside 5 minutes, and am so miserable I have to go inside take warm bath tried cool, and then put some kind of anti itch cream on me and I still scratch horribly. Never had this problem till I turned 55…my neighbors see me itchin and scratching and none of them seem to be bothered by this wish there was answer!!!!

129. There are many kinds of reports in this message list. Some of them refer to conditions that cause suffering, but they are not morgellons. I’ve had morgellons for nearly 15 years..beginning before it had a name or the internet was searchable.
     Morgellons isn’t a skin disease. The “parasites”, entities, whatever they are are, are -internal- . They can be in any part of one’s body causing pain, congestion, and other problems. Somehow, entities move close to the skin (from inside) and cause the sense of itching. When the area is scratched and rubbed, sores appear and colored strings and other things (larava-like, black dots, etc.) can be seen.
     (Note-if you scratch and rub a normal skin area, sores will not appear, so a doctor’s argument that the sore are there because you scratched yourself isn’t valid.)
     But these colored strings, etc. can also appear from inside the ears and nose, in feces, and even outside the body on clothing and other objects.
     Once a dermatologist acknowledged them after seeing them on my skin after rubbing it. She sent many specimens from me to a “specialist colleague” to test. The report that came back was like that of the CDC-nothing other than normal skin parts. The dermatologist and I knew that wasn’t true.
     I’m not elaborating on how this mysterious disease affects one’s life and quality of life. The previous poster sounds a bit wild, but I can totally empathize with his problems. People get introverted and compulsive from the seriously unpleasant symptoms. These include changes in one’s energy, both mental and emotional. It’s a most frustrating battle. It seems to be the only major disease that isn’t admitted by conventional science.

They live in your clothing as well. Everyone in my family thinks I’m crazy! My dog is also bit up. Took her to the vet and got her medicine but that’s about it. They are all over the house but no one else seems to be bitten.i have bombed my room and car and they are indestructible ! I don’t know what to do!

132. Please try internal medicine for foot fungus “terbinafine”. I would also try the Neem products, I have heard they help as well as cedarcide. I do believe the “bugs” are internal. You must take internal medicine to kill them. DEET used regularly will kill you!! So I wouldn’t suggest you continue using it. If anything, use lemon, eucalyptus oil, & lavender. It’s horrendous and especially when no one believes you. Look up Dr. Clifford Carnicom. Write to him as well. They will take forever to respond but you might get some insight when they do. Look up The Doctors. They had a show on “Morgellons” and there was a Doctor on there who was understanding and seemed helpful to the patient they had on their show. Good Luck to you. Be strong. You are NOT crazy.

     - I just out plastic and allergen covers on bed. I can hear them too like burst than crackling then I feel swarms like something out of a movie. I pray that it is not psychosis I do not use drugs or drink I do not smoke. I run daily I washand clean with borax and 91% alcohol. I used stinky neem oil. Nothing works. I see nothing no black dots no white dots. It is the worst on my bed on my furniture. In my car around computer. When I took vyvance for focus it was the worst. It heightened my CS system and I felt them all the time although I stopped it is not as bad but it is atill annoying.
       Some places wot mold or pesticides worse.
       My job has it too. But I am the only one who feels it so I think it is an allergy for me.

135. Word on the street is ability cures it because It turns the switch off. I know someone who is trying it. I have to get my blood work done. Mycoplasma in the blood and body is a big part of this problem. ILADS had a symposium on it at their last conference. It is also known as Morgellons which comes in many forms.

136. Try eating garlic and take garlic tablets to repel bugs from your skin. Forgive me if you lose your job because of it. We stayed at a motel on the coast and during the night I was bitten all over. We checked for bed bugs before using the bed and seen nothing. I brought it home. My husband feels nothing and is thicker skinned, but bugs love my thin skin. The doctors are worthless. I use disinfectants like ammonia in my wash and it helps. I spray it around the house and washed carpets with it. Dogs seem to take them on. I use lavender plants steeped in hot water to wipe on the dogs. Lavendar repels ticks so it has to repel other bugs and heals the skin. Bug man: morgellons is becoming pandemic from readings and IS A BUG that can be removed using citrus on the skin. Research posted cures. Doctors treat victims as lunatics because they don’t know what to do for it for several decades now. Try putting any cream on your skin all over. Bugs don’t like it and will seek areas without the cream. I may have fleas in my yard because the invisible bugs bite all over my legs when walking the lawn. A good winter freeze kills them. Keep the house clean. I used sage plant with hot water to make a sweet smelling powerful cleaner to use on floors and laundry. SMELLS AWESOME. sage repels bugs.

139. IBBS I suppose is still not understood clearly But yet one thing is very sure that skin being largest organ of a human body functioning as protective to other inner organs and also as capable of sensing the touch or pinch and also reacting to same we get the itching. Now whenever an ant or a bug bites to a person he definitely gets the feeling when skin reacts even if he does not see the insect himself Now person suffering with IBBS is unable to see even if he wants still his skin reacts. Hence it can be a real bite and then the skin reaction to same or it can be the only skin reaction. It is happening to me since four years and till now only while I am sitting inside my office cabin.None of the room cleaners nor face protection has stopped this happening. I only assume that IBBS is a typical reaction at.sensitive skin surface probably due the person`s lack of immune in total even though it does not appear to be and same happens due to typical environmetal conditions.

140. I’ve been forced to deal with what is called, “Morgellons,” myself.
     Three doctors, each with a different wrong diagnosis.
     I asked if a microscope was available at each.
     Nope.
     I had a 5x lighted magnifier and was seeing some things that did not match what the docs said.
     I got a 60/100 microscope.
     Surprise, surprise.
     Popped a description into Google and Morgellons sites came up.
     Matched some of the pics at the site.

     Well, well.

     I’ve seen quite a few permutations of the Thing since then.
     I am staying away from some of the memes on the net as to what the Thing is.

     I do know that it is air dropped.
     On a hunch I tested the outside surfaces of vehicles.
     Yep. Red, blue, and black fibers/threads.
     The same I have seen beneath the surface of my own unbroken skin…. as well as on the surface.
     A heavy natural rain and the vehicle surfaces no longer test positive.
     A heavy bout of so-called persistent contrails (chemtrails, folks) and the outside surfaces again test positive.

     So it is being dropped on us, like it or not, whatever the Thing is.

     I went steps further and started examining the external environment at large, as well as inside the house.
     The culprits both outside and inside.

     The Thing is/has been insinuated throughout our environment.

     I do have a number of technical backgrounds.
     Sterile culture work including microscopy.
     Electronics.
     Aviation.
     Space.

     I have had positions of responsibility for the lives of others.

     I am not an alarmist, a kook, or a liar.

     Just what the Thing is I can not say.
     I could say what the Thing appears to be…. but as I don’t have the necessary instrumentation or the skill sets to use that instrumentation I cannot say, “This Is What The Thing Is.
     For me to say what it is would not be intellectually honest for me at this point.

     I’ve been able to back it off a bit but I am never symptom free.
     Diet changes and a revolving series of skin care protocols have been useful.
     I have also started using a particular internal Chi Kung.
     It is my intention to experiment with internal…. and external…. chi circulations.
     As I write this post, right now, it is evident to me that I need to approach the Chi Kung work in a methodical, chronicled in detail, manner.
     Lord willing, I will do so.

     This Thing has been a life changer.
     I suspect that a line has been crossed, that life will never be the same again.

     I am dealing with it. No choice but to if I want to continue living on the planet surface.

     - To pragmatic - Read your post and although it is old, i am wondering how you are doing? Have you had any success? You said you wanted to work in a methodical, chronicled manner. Have you been doing that? I was wondering if you have experienced any visual disturbances? I don’t know that “disturbance” is the right word, but for lack of a better word . . . . Hope you are well.

141. Having suffered a bug infestation that nearly took my life due to doctors refusing to treat me based on a family member in the local medical community for 45+ years ,and the knowledge that i had used recreational drugs in the past and instructing the doctors to ignore my requests to be treated with antibiotics because it was all in my head. Well instead of being cured in a week , it took 6 months before of hell , when i could take photos that clearly showed the insects covering my enter body, before a doctor treated me .
     If u suspect insect are biting u , set traps to capture them in areas that u frequent , # 1 near your bed etc.
     Take a ziplock bag ,put a piece of raw bloody meat in , leave it open with the edge on the surface where u set it. In 12 hours check trap . if insects are present close bag and set another for 12 hour. After 24 hours if u have bugs u will know .

142. I to am being taken over by minute red dots. They appear to be mites although there are none that live onhumans. The original bite is healing although looks Discusting and again I am covered by tiny red dots that burrows in my skin. Tonight one of the almost heald scars opened up and something started to come out! I screamed and when I tried to get it, it reversed. If my children and friends hadn’t seen my life for the past few months I would be tempted to drive off a cliff. As Drs are not interested im going to the University and maybe some one will take an interest. Its like ticks are breeding on me with itching aching burning hairloss etc … I am thinking of you

143. Bugman I have a problem, I have these grey small insects coming out of my paws on my thighs, the problem only started in January and now I’ve seen about nine of them and tried to remove them, I don’t know if they are bacteria or what because they do move but only when I have removed them from my skin, and they are hard to remove its like they are attached to my skin, I have never seen them move but they are troubling me. And this is not a Psychological problem I know I have seen them even after bathing, the thing is I also can’t sleep at night, I get nightmares, and I hallucinate so could it be the same problem or these two are just different cases!!?

145. We have been plagued with these same creatures since we received a “new” mattress from a reputable store. Somehow our mattress was contaminated by a used pick up. We have battled invisible biting mites for over 10 years. Insecticides only gave our dog cancer and slowed the bugs minimally. They have a certain intelligence that is uncanny as a group. We felt as if we had millions of them crawling all over our bodies. We have tried every recommendation we have found on the internet. Alcohol does work to some extent, but vacuuming every day does more than insecticide. Also, freezing your bedding between changes (blankets, sheets, etc.) Also iron everything! Underwear outerwear and buy a steamer. If you take one to your bed you will feel it crawling and find you have been bitten. Next day steam everything on the bed and every piece of clothing you wore the previous day plus the night clothing. I have PICTURES of my bites. I have told every doctor I see… they too think I’m loony, but of course I have evidence they are unfamiliar with.

Also in my sheets.i have taken borax baths. Did the skip flea shampoo a couple times . Bleach baths. Everything. Everything is infested and NOTHIG is killing them. Can anyone tell me what this is?

     - I have not found out what was wrong with me. I finally broke down and went to emergency room.( no insurance of course) and in high hopes of getting a little help, I was told I had a skin infection and given antibiotics. After sitting for 5 hours. I know it is not a skin infection. I have been taking vins get baths and after the first one hundreds of black specks were in the bottom of the tub. I have them all over my clothes and everything. When magnified and cropped the pics of these specks look like black balls of hair . They are so tiny it seems impossible to be hair. I really DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO!

     - Have you checked his sheets and clothing inside and out for black specks? My bites started on my chest and moved to my back. The chest cleared up and my back was awful for months! Then it cleared up and my cheat broke out again BAD! The are oozing looking bumps almost look waxy. I’ve tried borax and peroxide baths. Also bleach baths.( which made me very sick) also Skip dog shampoo( permethrin ) . Tee trea oil. That seems to help some. I read to try ape cider vineger in my bath. I did that and OH MY LORD! Hundreds of black specks in bottom of the tub! Dawn dish detergent works well too. It has helped clear most of the bites up. But they are still there( black specks. Biting and pinching especially at night. I am up every night bathing and cleaning. It’s an endless battle! I’m thinking it’s morgellans disease. I do work in a nursing home doing hair as well. Just tying to figure this thing out

       - I have checked everything in his room and his bed and matress. The bites seem to happen at night, small red bumps, ususlly on his arms. Recently its been a few on his face and the two latest on lower back. The bites are very itchy and small red dots. Sometimes they look like a spider bite with two holes, other times only one. He does swell alot from them. So far no big issues other than itchy and annoying but he hasent felt sick, or in pain from them.

       - Doxycycline worked well for me, which makes me wonder if the problem is actually Demodex mites, which are now suspected to cause Rosacea. I ran out of it, but would love to be able to take it for 6 months.

       - Karen, I have had this same problem since October of 2013. I have no idea how or why it started, but I have tiny black bugs (like flecks of black pepper) that are all over my clothes, bedding, carpet, tile floor, and furniture. They jump up and bite my legs and ankles and sometimes my arms and back, especially at night. Now they’re also at work, under my desk, and they bite my legs constantly. My coworker sits five feet away and never gets any bites. My best friend came to my house and never felt any bites. When I can hit one of the bugs on my legs or arms, they fall on the floor and I just pick them up with tape and tape them to a piece of paper, because otherwise nobody believes I’m being bitten. We’ve had the exterminators here at work and at my home, and they all say there aren’t any bugs. The bugs don’t stick to any of those sticky papers that the exterminators always leave around, so they don’t believe they exist. When I show them the black bugs on the pieces of paper or even on my white bedspread, they look at them with a magnifier and say they’re just hair or lint. I really thought I was going insane until I read this blog and your post. The chemical sprays from the exterminator only kill the bugs for 24 hrs at the most, and then they’re back again (and it’s expensive). The only thing that works for me so far is SALT — and LOTS of it. I pour salt all over the floors and the carpets and and the bed sheets and then have a little peace for a couple of days before the larvae hatch and start biting again. Then I vacuum and sweep up all the salt, bag it and put it in the garbage, wash the sheets with bleach, and pour down more salt. I’ve been doing this every other day now for about 3 months, and the bugs aren’t as bad as they were in October, so I’m grateful for that. Also, I wash myself with vinegar before I go to bed every night and wear long sleeves and long PJ pants to keep as much skin covered as possible. I also put my clothes in a hot dryer for at least an hour before I put them on, and I put all the newly washed and dried clothes into plastic bins with locking lids so that I can at least keep most of the bugs out, although they seem to be right back in my sleeves and pant legs within 30 minutes of my putting on clean clothes. I really hope they go away eventually, and I hope your bugs go away, too. This is the worst nightmare I’ve ever had to endure, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Good luck!

       - I do not understand. I do not see anything at all! I do know that I stopped taking Straterra and I am not as sensitive. But I got in my bed and started feeling a little prickly sensation so it exists just not as sensitive to it. I think my body reacts or is oversensitive to them and no one else feels them. Also maybe they went away but I reinfected. They can live a long time without a host. They love make up, whatever is in lip gloss or lipstick or foundation. I am going to try the cedar bombs

       - Just wondering what kind of salt your putting down? Regular table salt or sea salt? Mine cleared up for a month or so. I still saw black specks but wasn’t getting bit at all. I wrapped my mattress in a big plastic sheeting with tape. Washed every night with red wine vinegar in my bath. Along with dawn. And sprayed myself with 91%alcohol mixed with tea tree oil. Everything was looking better. Then my father came back from working out of town and my clothes happened to get washed with his and somehow I ended up with my chest bit up AGAIN! My mother thinks I’m crazy because he isn’t bitten up but his shirt was covered in the little black specks and around the collar where these lint ball looking things. When I take a pic magnified with my iphone they look like gray/white bugs wrapped up in hair! And as I said these black specks look like hair balls BUT THEY BITE! Needless to say they are BACK! I need a solution ! This is the worst thing ever!

         Posted by Karen | April 16, 2014, 11:53 am

       - Karen, I’ve just been using regular iodized table salt, and I buy the cheapest brand at Wal-Mart since I have to use so many containers of it. It really does help. I’ll also use your suggestion of bathing in vinegar and Dawn and using the tea tree oil-alcohol spray. The salt really has been working for the house, but it would be so nice to keep those little bugs away from my body, so I’ll try the spray right after my bath.

150. Hello all, I just came across this website….and truly am at the end of my rope. I have been dealing with a multitude of “stuff and things” for a little over a year now. I never knew anything about any of the mysterious “things” that started to occur INSIDE and ON MY body, until I did a search of the 5 or so things that I started experiencing for more than a couple days, weeks and then months. I was under extreme stress at the end of 2012 & beginning of 2013 (death of the closest person in my life, as well as a very toxic & hostile work environment). What I noticed first was changes in my bathroom habits, and then my monthly menstrual clots. I also started noticed how my hair strands moved on their own (and still do), which seems appears to have to do with some type of energy in or on my body. It’s not simply a static situation. I even showed a clip to my long term primary doctor last year, which clearly showed a ‘detached’ hair strand sticking out (say from a towel bar), and following my finger (or whatever I had)…which was almost parallel to the floor. I was diagnosed as being “manic and delusional”, and put on Depakote. I have a history of depression and have been on SSRI’s for many yrs, but what was going on with my body had nothing to do with my depression….or being delusional (which was a complete insult!!!). I even showed my pharmacist, as well as family members some of the things I was experiencing (the pink’ish & blue’ish shimmery specks that would appear and spread)…..as well as a few photos of my menstrual blood clots, which looked/look something like a branch from something like a Boston Fern…with a main strand, and then “points” that are evenly spaced on both sides of the main piece…and there are masses of some sort inside each point. I had my annual female check-up last July, and all was “normal”. However, my Dr’s Nurse Practitioner prescribed Albenza at the end of March 2013, and I had visits with her on & off over the next couple of months. The Albenza seemed to reduce some of the symptoms, but not all of them. When I lost my job in August 2013, I got in to see the Nurse Practitioner again, and she gave me another prescription for Albenza (take 1 pill, then a 2nd pill exactly 2 weeks later). The Albenza didn’t help with anything that time. I (like millions of people) am in a ‘horrible’ (stressful) place right now…living with parents, no job…and attempting to get through the S.S. Disability system….I now have 1+ year wait for a hearing. I have 5-levels of multiple problems in my neck (would need a 5-level fusion), as well as L.T. depression. Meanwhile, I’m probably one of the most sane and clear thinking people most people would meet. I am almost 47 and as I said in my opening sentence, “i’m truly at the end of my rope”. I have left a couple msgs for both the Researcher at college in Oklahoma, as well as the Carn. Inst. My brain fog and lack of mental energy when trying to express myself via “written word” is exhausting(!!!)…..I’m surprised I’m actually typing this!! But my parents need me out of their house asap, due to being here for a lengthy period of time (due to my income level in the past….and now even worse). But my skin erupted again at the beginning of this yea, which has left me looking like I have Chicken Pox over much of my body….including places I don’t normally see. Being that I live in florida, and having gone through a warm winter, which means things bloom earlier than they should, I was thinking all of the warmth and related reaction to the living environment here might have something to do with my body. But I know that’s highly doubtful at this point. I now know that the lines in the sky, zipping here & there (unlike what any commerical aircraft would create), may have something to do with the entire environment….after my past year of looking at this & that online last yr (as my mental energy and thought process would permit….= not much of the time). But one of my MAIN QUESTIONS, is what in the heck is causing my hair strands to “appear to be alive, to some extent”??? I have thought that I may be of some help, to a Researcher, in that I would be glad to provide “live” samples, to use….but so far I haven’t heard from anyone. I am silently and slowly dying. I have no support system, other than a couple family members who live out of state (and of course have their own things to deal with in this period of time)…..and I also have a wonderful Therapist…..however, she basically helps me deal with “current” challenges when I see her every 3 weeks….not “this stuff” going on with my body. She can clearly see that my skin is broken out, but that’s not her field of profession. I went to a Dermatologist last May, who immediately diagnosed me as Delusional Parisitosis, as well as a Neuro. doctor I saw (who didn’t even touch my body)…just a couple of balance tests (since he didn’t understand why I was there..by my own choice). The Derm. did (3) biopsies (back of neck, front of torso and front of left thigh). All of them came back more or less “normal” (said I had Neuro-Dermatitis, Folliculitis and some other minor kind of thing). But no fungus, bacteria, etc. He put me on Bactrim (which I took twice a day for 6 months, as well as Clyndmyacin(sp?). None of which helped much. I took the last Bactrim on 12/25/13, so maybe all of this skin flare-up is due to the med getting out of my system. But none of that explains the evenly spaced, branch looking menstrual clots, or the skins that enclose each one of my stools (which I’ve seen white’ish vine-looking things coming out of), and definitely nothing seems to explain my hair, which appears to be alive. The root end of my hair seems to be the ‘living’ part, which affects the whole strand. Sooooo……after all of this rambling, which I’m sure has put more than a few people to sleep…..I was wondering if anyone can make any suggestions on what I can do…??? I live in the Tampa area, and would be willing to travel…..wherever I could, to try to get some answers….and more so, to “help” with the research of this Delusional/Parasite/Fungus/Bacteria, etc. problem that I (and thousands of others) am trying to “live through”. I’m not sure if I have to create an account here, but I’m exhausted and will wrap it up. I apologize for the length of this post. I wish everyone the best of luck…and would be glad to speak with anyone who needed to vent or share/compare anything they’re going through. I never imagined anything like this existed….but I’m sure the list of mysterious conditions are endless. Oh and BTW, I believe that cotton, paper, adhesives and elastic plays a part in all of this. I am not in a place where I can alter my diet and/or environment…..not at the present time. Thanks to ALL who actually believe and care!

     - Re hair, I used to feel bites on my cheek and when I looked in the mirror, the tip of a strand of hair would be touching my cheek exactly where I’d felt the bite. You need to cut your hair shorter. I still sometimes feel itching or crawling on my scalp, or occasionally like a strand is being pulled, but I don’t really have any problems with the biting sensations anymore.
       Re a detached hair moving and following your finger, that sounds like what I have observed countless times from fibers sticking out of clothes or other linens, like towels. I don’t see it nearly as much as I used to. It is a sign that that item is badly infected with Morgellons. You should either throw it out, or cut off the fiber or lint-roll the item (including if it’s on the inside of a sock) just prior to laundering it and drying on hot and as long as you can. The more infected an item is, often the more the fiber or thread will stick out as opposed to lying flat, and will have tiny fibers sticking sideways out of it, like branches. Also, if any of your cloth items have lint balls hanging off them, you might want to toss the item. (If you look closely, there’s usually a small dot inside the ball, which I think is a living thing and it wraps itself in the fibers.) But using Damp-Rid or another dehumidifying product will probably greatly decrease the amount of lint balls you find on clothes. I was finding red lint balls all over clothes in my coat closet in 2013, and after putting the Damp-Rid in the closet, no more red lint balls. (NB: the clothes were not red!) The Damp-Rid also helped with other stuff going on in my apt.
       You’re right about fabrics, paper, and more getting easily infected with Morgellons. I’ve also noticed that applies to furniture; over the past few years, (never before) furniture in my apt is getting shallow grooves or markings in it, and also sometimes white paintlike or milky-looking marks. Doors too.
       For anyone going through this, please put a vinyl cover on your mattress. I went from feeling constant little stings, etc. while in bed, to rarely feeling them in bed once I did this. Now I usually only feel bad sensations on the areas covered by my socks, when I am in bed. (I need the socks for warmth, though.) When I first lie down, I usually feel a ton of muscle fasciculations down there. I used to have some socks that seemed OK and I wouldn’t feel anything, but it’s become impossible to buy socks without Morgellons fibers at this point.

151. Wellim sorry to say that I have done everything you suggest and I just went away for the weekend and just returned home I never gave itching or biting a thought all weekend(not once did it enter my mind) my sons wedding. No sooner do I get in my house standing in my kitchen do I start feeling biting on my legs itching on my head. Now it’s the next day and it’s in full force head to toe itch and bite and don’t see a bug. Finally my husband admits that he has on occasion been feeling this as well but doesn’t know what to do the house has no carpet was built in 1976. What do we do

     - Buy a Dry Steamer, it works!!
       You might have to repeat every few weeks for a couple of months, but it’s worth it. Through out “through pillows” and put bed pillows and mattresses in bed bug free zipper covers. Steam everything else. It does work.
       Good luck, Susan ♡

       - Hello, I have notifications set from this forum, since my fiancé and I got “the invisible bugs” a couple years ago now. I have rid our home, furniture and clothes, etc of probably about 95% of them for several months now. The other commenter is right about the steam cleaner. A good one from Walmart, or similar, that costs about $75 saved all our clothes. I rarely have to use it now, use it mostly in place of ironing (Thank God!) but back in the worst of it, I literally steamed everything! Sofa, clothes, anything fabric. It was a life saver. You have to wash your clothes with a regular good grade detergent, lots of Borax powder, vinegar and also bleach for everything you can bleach on hot and dry two cycles on hot. And then you can’t just steam everything, hang it up in your closet and think it’s all good…you have to steam the clothes you are wearing that day, that day, right before you leave. You can put all clean laundry in best quality freezer safe Ziplock big bags to not have to do laundry every day though.

         The other life saver I wish I had found long, long before I finally did is a steam vac. As I said, by strictly doing all the things listed above (and a few other things, which I can tell you if you want to know) I got rid of almost all of them, but once in a while, we will feel them again, either in a certain room / area, or certain clothes, and so then I do the steaming of those clothes again, if it’s certain clothes, or have dry cleaned, which works 100% always…and just steam vac the entire room. Floors, walls, bath tub, shower, garage, anywhere…and it always solves it immediately. Be sure to empty the steam vac out in a good, strong garbage bag, OUTSIDE, and put out on the curb for trash removal though. Then spray inside of steam vac with Lysol anti bac spray (another must have). These two tactics work. Hope this helps.

152. Oh, hope I said “SHOP - VAC”…don’t see my comment on here yet, but I have a habit of accidentally calling it a “steam vac”…I am talking about a shop vac though. I got a “Rigid” brand one from Home Depot for under $80, not the 2.5 HP one though, needs to be the 4.5 HP one.

       - Yes, get mold removal done. I completely forgot, with so much I did to rid our home of these things, but we also had extremely high mold levels in our kitchen and had it professionally removed. You still have to do everything else to kill them off around the house and on your bodies, but that may well be a main source of them, or else they feed on it and if you are injecting mold spouses, then they feed on and are drawn to you, as well.

157. Response ::: It is a shame that you have not found a solution to your problem .Well while I am not a professional in insects mites fleas and or doctor..I am very knowledgeable about many and this particular subject because i have have done my own research.I have spoken with the true professionals which are ppl that live amongs these insects ,creatures etc or have knowledge of many types of animal ,mites, Rottens insectt etc.Reason being is that I myself have sufferd in the past i thought it was all in my head the fact that i itched all time mainly my head arms and legs even my face ..Well while the person above me is talking about all that chemical and and specticides etc.I am sure that he or she is correct I’m practicly almost sure this person might have a degree on a particular field.So please try every thing asked of u the not eating this and that etc .With Gods will yoeand feel results..In the hand as I read through your painful and heart felt problem I also noticed you gave a color and the size of these creatures and while the specialist told you they were not bird mites that is exactly what they are and yes they do appear on your towels on any clothes material on ur skin they lash on to your skin and as if they were just sucking you dry all day every day..Please fell free to correct me if I’m wrong..they are a bright red almost maybe almost as if they mixed red and orange together to make that very distinctive color they are also almost invisible to the human eye unless you know what your looking for .Well neetless to say I myself had those mites in a room I use to rent from a friend behind her house it was myself and my daughtet and I myself am a clean freak many would even dare saay I have OCD which is fine with me but i dnt because i can control it so anyway my daughter would say mommy how come when were almost near home I start itching and I would ask her to explain but she was to tiny neatless to say I felt the same itch the biting at night when we would put a long sleeve shirt on I felt as if they were having a feast all warm in there ,mind you I still did not know what it was yet ..The reason why i said in the beginning that I thought it was all in my head was because unfortunaltly the Ppl I rented from were not very clean so I carried a clorox bottle with me everywhere around that home all things straying from toilet shower kitchen etc you named it it was gonna get a shot of clorox ..Well to make a long story short that is the reason I thought it was in my head. But as time passed it was getting worse to the point where I could not sleep I felt them everywhere and my little girl had scratches all over from itching I did the fumigating I also made sure that once my close was outa the dryer to put it in very thick protected bags eventually I went to the doctor he said he found nothing on her or myself that maybe fleas or any other mite but that if I the place was invested it would show more results damage on me or my child they called it dry skin syndrome orvsince i was also a very nervous person it may be that as well but excluded the bites and what I’d seen at times which were the bird mites Well I eventually had to move and I still felt that same itchi biting sensation as well as my daughter felt lucky her when ur a chld you tend to forget symtoms of w e it maybe because of the symole fact that they have so much going through their mind and their constantly thinking of what’s next so yea she forgot at times ..Well it was an ongoing thing after two months of moving out I asked my expert My gramother God rest her soul.I asked her if she had ever seen these little red mites and she answerd withe the following ,Ohhhhh yea those things will eat you alive if your invested they take over ur kitchen if they wanted to and boy does it irritate when they bite cuz it is hardly ever one they come in gangs lol ..She asked questions like what was around your home the house I said well they have stores schools she said stop any animals ohh i said yes cats dogs and chickens lots of them in the back yard and the room I rented was in the back yard ..So she explained how all mostly all birds carry this red mite and how they can really do damage specially to someone who can’t see them or even awhare of them ..she was right on point every time through out that conversation.She followed the conversation by saying that all the itching and bighting and discomfort i was having till the day was that i may be experiencing a tick a habbit or it could be that i might have brought a few back being that my belongings eere subjected to them she follwed saying that a bath with grenn tomatoes squeeze in the tub as well as a little vineger should do The trick also for the hair as well ..I can honestly say that I do sometimes feel the biting the itching etc..But this is where the person that is talking about the chemicly treated hygene things and or foods comes in and I am convinsed that you know what ur talking about so yea a variety of things is causing this problem with you..BUT IM ALMOST POSITIVE THAT YOU ARE RIGHT AND NO YOU ARE NOT CRAZY . GOD HELP YOU MY PRAYERS THAT YOU SOON CAN LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST ..Note: things or places you might want to look for to around your home .Is there any chickens around ur area any pigines and kind of bird that may be pets and come in multiples or maybe around ur community someone might have a little farm etc ..If you do happen to come accross any of these then with the grace of God your almost home free..ohhhhh and FYI any area with dirt lots of dirt and or even Rottens I beleive carry this particular mite ..Good luck …God is Good..sorry one more thing and one more reason they might be more harmful to you can be you have a really bad allergic reaction to these mites.. ..Oh and make sure to also wash all your clothes with hot water an also a huge splash of vinegar..

158. Not to diss the Bug man but he really from what i see on this extremely long thread haz no idea what we are going through or how to help us. I am 49 & very healthy. No GMO (that i know of) all food iz organic, i take lots of vitamins & fruit shakes with hemp protein/maca/chia/ etc. I dont eat McDonaldz or anything fried nor soda. I have literally been eaten alive now for almost 5 years. The first place i got bit was in my millionaire bosses home while cleaning out old closets & cabinets. I never got bitten at home until recently. now my home is completely infested. the office has them on all floors but like people are saying only certain people get bit while others get nothing. no black or dark skinned people at work get bit & i have had 3 different pest control guys as well as two professional companys come to my home & office. nothing they do helps. one said i was imagining it so he was useless & gone right away. if you saw the bites on my body you would be crazy to say its imagination or paranoia. i have no sex life because of it & im afraid to give them to others. when the pest control guy sprays that toxic stuff on floor it only make them angry & they really attack us. none of the darker skinned latin people are getting bit but the light skinned ones are. one white skinned women has never been bit so you tell me. ??????? i dont see any fibers or threads but i do see white things (eggs?) that are like sugar or salt grains that burst when you smash them between your finger nails. i also see red or black dots that are super tiny on my skin & can feel something grainy on my jeans especially. i have scars all over my body & look like i have measles or bed bug bites. i wont take off shirt or go in shorts in front of people & have spent a ton of $ on products & cleaners. i do laundry 3-4 timez a week & itch & scratch till i think i will go crazy. I keep cleaning & cleaning until my roomate (who doesnt get bit at all) thinks im crazy. my boss gets bit but goes to a Dr who gives him toxic creams that dont really help. his sister has thrown all her clothes & furniture away & taken up carpet with some relief & no they are back & she feels like she is losing her mind. I went away to Miami & swam in ocean & got much relief then went home to New Mexico & swam in pools with clorine until no itch or bite. all bites & marks went away on 3rd week away (except scars) i was so happy until i came back to New York & they immediatly started to bite me until i am now covered on my back & arms & legs. the itch the most around my ears & bald head. i can see them when i rub my scalp onto my phone or computer screen. i never see them move ever. i dont see them crawl but can feel them when im sitting in chair or laying in bed. its horrible. curse mansanto if they did this! they have created a plague that will take over everyone except the lucky onez that they dont like to bite. it makes no sense to me cuz some that are not getting bit are eating unhealthy stuff with lots of sugar so that explanation is hogwash.The only thing that helps is washing with a listerine one day & goats milk soap/tee tree oil/ /honey the other & once a week soaking in KLEENGREEN enzyme wash. then spraying tub & everything else i can spray with windex. i have tried it all. I use borax with teatree oil & Kleengreen along with bleach & detergent to wash clothes but am paranoid because i have to use laundermat & im sure they are all up in there by now.I had family over & none of them get bit. its so strange & insidious. i am forever trying to wipe them off my ears & they never bite my private parts. ????? i am afraid to tell anyone because they will shun me or be afraid of getting them. i dont want to be treated like a leaper, im already a self imposed hermit because of “them”.Its not on news or TV yet how many million people have this?!?the pest control guy i use now is a friend & has done all he can but says we are the only ones he services that has this problem & he cant figure out what kind of “bug ” this is even though he has been doing this for over 25 years. Its like a plague or some government thing that is meant to drive us crazy along with GMO, Chemtrails & poisonous floride in water. i am itching as i type & it seems to get worse if im talking about it or staying stationary. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM THAT IS GOING TO COST MILLIONS IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF SOON. I feel like im lozing it sometimes & it is effecting my sleep & social life. i have heaters on in bedroom right now after spraying windex all over everything even though its 70 degrees here because one site said they cant live in hot, dry non humid areas. No wonder my roomate thinks im crazy. sometimes i feel as though i will go crazy if i dont get relief from this itchy, crawling sensation & these ugly bite marks. Oh! dont scratch them because they bleed really bad & leave scars & it takes months for the red mark to go away. people look at me on train like i have bedbugs & i wear long sleeves to hide the marks. some are like scratches almost as if they are biting in long line. IF i spray any more kleengreen im gunna turn green! ive spent so much time & $ on it. WHY WONT THE CDC OR GOVERNMENT HELP US, WE ARE NOT ANIMALS & EVEN ANIMALS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS HORRIBLE FEELING.

     - Derek, I feel your pain. As I said before, I (thank God!) only had this for about a year, badly, then tapered it off for several more months and now 99% free. Only every once in a while we will notice them again, but I take immediate action and kill them all that same day.

       You have to stop with those heaters…right now. I don’t know who wrote that, but they could not be more wrong. The key is COOL, cold really. They are activated any time your house reaches 73 degrees, often 72 and even 71, depending on how bad you have them. They thrive then and you can tell instantly if your AC is moved to higher than 71, once you start doing this. Set it to as cold as you can stand it. We sleep at 67 now and keep it 70 during the day.

       You need to have your air ducts cleaned, by a company that uses high enough temperatures and methods to garauntee all micro organisms removed / killed. Also have to get a really good carpet cleaner to do all your carpets and any fabric furniture you can’t through our. They also have to be a company that uses temps over 148, I think? Can’t remember the exact temp, but there are companies that do not specify this and others that do, guaranteeing all micro organisms removed and / or killed. Do carpets/furniture first and air ducts soon after. Also change your ac filters and get the good, expensive, metal kind or allergen, micro filter, and clean the vents. They travel through them. I used to use push pins to cover the vent right over the bed and over the couch and noticed a huge difference in where they concentrated.

       To the person I briefly read bought a shop vac and bugs are spraying out of the exhaust…something is wrong there. Nothing should spray out anywhere. I bought a “RIGID” brand one at Home Depot. It works amazingly and was $79. Also you have to, HAVE to have a steamer for your clothes. Just a simple, vertical steamer with two clips on a hanger type top to clip the garment to.

       Have to get one of the best mattress covers (again that says blocks / repels / prevents micro organisms, not just bed bugs etc) and pillow covers. I also threw out literally all of our linens, comforters and pillows and bought new everything. Any synthetic materials, for clothes and linens, are much better than anything natural, like cotton or silk. The cheaper the better! I still sleep in my fiancé’s polyester golf shirts a lot, because they are full proof! I do use cotton sheets again now, but all white and I Borax and bleach them before putting them on the bed. Some type of synthetic material comforter, almost sleeping bag feeling, and I bleach that too. That can be colored, bleach doesn’t effect the color.

       The sugar and food talk isn’t total hogwash, but it only matters AFTER you have these. It has nothing to do wth who gets them, I’m pretty sure. I listened to a brilliant podcast recently and will search it to add a link here for you guys, but some extremely sharp scientists have concluded that Chemtrails are the cause of this and many other new health and parasitic issues (last decade or 15 years max). Almost all meats, pigs, cows, chicken is not confirmed yet, have these micro organisms LIVING in them. They had to get a microscope more expensive than a house…a nice house! that is capable of seeing smaller organisms than all the regular top microscopes scientists use combined. They are doing studies, but running out of funding money, as it’s ridiculously expensive, but they found that these new, artificially created, parasites grow into all kinds of weird, and sometimes normal, things, like spiders, bugs, mites, worms…they can not as of yet figure out what makes some turn into different things than others. They do not die when boiled, cooked at extreme temperatures, or frozen…you have to just not ingest them. I hardly eat any meat anymore, just seafood and chicken once in a while. Big difference. Less sugar and more salty foods, greasy or not, will give an instant difference you will notice. They definitely love sugar. I think the greasy thing the one person mentioned, is simply because it is animal products. At least all of the crazy things you must learn to do, will eventually be second nature, just part of your life, you aren’t even hardly conscious of anymore and it is mostly all healthier ways of being and eating anyway. 🙂 (Oh and stop with the pesticides. You are right, all that does is piss them off, it felt like…plus poison your home, pets and selves. It’s about disinfecting, not poisoning).

       - Why does the steam work on them if boiling and cooking don’t? Is this just a small hand-held steamer? Any particular brand?
         BTW, Damp-Rid hung in closets and bathrooms made all the difference in the world to me.

         Posted by Sarah Connor | January 7, 2016, 10:27 am

     - Derek, please read my other posts and try what I recomend. Also, try “Neem Oil” (health food store) and mix it with “Vitamin E oil”, this both detract the bugs while eventually killing them, and the vitamin E oil will also detour the bugs while healing your bites and diminishing your scars. Stay Strong, Susan.

       P.S. With the Neem Oil, a little goes a very long way so get a bottle of vitamin E oil and add a few drops of “Neem” to it..
       Good luck, let me know what happens.♡

161. OK Everyone with “IBBS”….. My experience. ….
     Firs of all I Feel For Each And Everyone of you!
     I began being “Bitten” a few months after receiving a beautiful new top of the line leather sofa that we purchased at JCPennys.

     Ahhh! It’s been driving me nuts!!! They were not biting my husband (a Vietnam Vet) or my son ( a personal trainer) both are sugar junkies :-)….. Me, always a vegan, and
     chemical and Pharmaceutical free, they love :-\. So my family, again, thought I was nuts. That is of course until they began being bitten too.
     What I have found works ~ First you should know that I keep my home as free of chemicals as possible and always have.
     1)We have No carpet, only stained concrete floors.
     2) lot’s of natural light, skylights, solar tube, and strategically placed mirrors. 3) I use NO CHEMICALS in my home, on my laundry, or in my garden/yard, only natural cridders to control pests. 4) All materials in my home are
     NATURAL cotton, silk, wool, leather, glass and SOLID WOOD, No Partial Board or Plastics!

     That said, our bugs are completely gone. Steps to take to be Invisible Bug Free ~
     1 ) They are only invisible to the naked eye, they’re not really, unless you are hallucinating or just delusional (probably not). To confirm
     that you have bugs leave an I Pad, Note, Kindle, or even your phone on, light up, on the surface where you believe that you have an infestation. They are attracted to the warmth and often you can see them with the light behind them, they are like moving dust but they are there. This is how I discovered and confirmed that I had not lost my mind ( purely by accident).

     2) Vacuum! Vacuum! Vacuum! With a HEAVY FILTER! Put Borax/20 muleteam And dump after each use.
     3) If you can, purchase a DRY Steamer. Walmart has one that is Ok for under $200..
     It is very important that you use a DRY steamer, you do not want to promote MOLD GROTH and you need heat at a temperature of 225 to kill the little Sh!!s 🙂

     4) steam EVERYTHING! Every inch of your sofa, beds and chairs, Drapes and clothes.
     then use a 50/50 mix of Borax and Diatomaceous Earth and sprinkle it in your
     SOFA, carpet, drawers, laundry hampers, around your base boards, everywhere that you believe they may be. Leave it in place for 1 month and repeat.

     Depending on your personal level of infestation and weather you own or rent your home, you need to decided how far you can and want to go to to rid yourselves and your home of this nightmare. I personal through out (don’t donate) most of my beautiful through pillows 😦 some I have steamed the heck out of and smothered with 20th and
     DE and sealed them in a very tight bag. We’ll see what happens.

     Last but not least : People please go natural! Just like Bacteria, insects and others are building resistances to all of the chemicals that we are exposing them too while the same chemicals are making us sicker and sicker!
     There are lot’s of websites dedicated to a more natural approach to life. Be safe, De healthy, be natural, Be BUG FREE!!

     I really like and appreciate the BugMan.

163. These are redbugs or depending on where u live chiggers! Yes they itch and bite and will make u crazy. They r so tiny if someone cant see well they will think u r seeing things unless u get them a microscope. Ive tried more thing than i can count to get rid of them from my back deck but they looove wood even tho its treated. If u walk out in warm temps they jump on u and bite but not everyone feel it. I dont get that part! If anyone knows what i can do to get rid of the pests for good im all ears. Ive tried all kinds of bug sprays and hosing the deck down before we use it. Im so glad they havent come in my house.

     - Ok, The Borax/ 20 mule team is to be sprinkled on your sofa , carpet, anywhere you believe that you have Bugs….After you DRY steam… This approach works on spiders, silverfish, fleas, I’m told that people have even had luck with roaches.
       Just be sure to leave the Borax in place for at least 60 days after you see or are bitten by your last bug. Good luck. It does work, I promise ♡

       - What is dry steam?

         Posted by vivian | June 8, 2014, 4:29 pm

       - Vivian ~ A Dry Steamer is a steamer that gets so hot that it steams a steam that drys immediately and kills anything on contact. Walmart has one on line for $169. It works quite well although it does not reach an extremely hi temperature, it is still pretty dry. I suggest that you use distilled water and let it heat for 45 minutes before using it.
         Then release the initial steam into a bucket, sink or toilet, this will eliminate any moisture prior to “Dry Steaming”.
         There are other Dry Steamers available, but they can be very expensive.
         The Walmart steamer is Purple, it comes with lots of attachments and in my experience, works well and is affordable.

166. I have been fighting this since June 2001….. My oldest child came by and was complaining about feeling something crawling on her neck. I checked did not see anything (thinking it may be lice). She had also brought over a neck pillow that she had placed on my bed to see if it helped with my headaches. Well, about a week later I was feeling something biting me in my bed, then within another week I could not sleep in my bed it was over run with the biting mites. I moved into the living room to sleep on the sofa, again within a few weeks the entire apartment was infested. I had several companies come out to spray, nothing worked,. I felt hopeless, wanted to commit suicide. I would have except I had a young child to take care of. I move twice, bought new furniture twice and finally got control of the situatio (by cleaning and moving) then my oldest once again bought a gift for me a bed cover/spread.. I had just bought my NEW bedroom suite it was less than a year old. Had to destroy it have been sleeping on recliner and now my job is infested, I am at my wits end.. I just want to die. As I write this I am crying because I came into my house sat in my chair and I am being eaten alive. Anyone who says this is all in our minds are full of shit.

     - Hello Mary, my name is Susan, I have written the posts above regarding Invisible Biting Bugs and how I SUCCESSFULLY rid my house of them.
       First of all; You are not alone, and you are (probably) not crazy. These horrible little S!!!ts can certainly drive you there :-\.
       Ifyou can, follow the ddirections that I left above. I will keep checking back to see if you have posted any new questions or commentsand I will tried to help you through it. Agai, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I just love this blog. The Bug Man and others on this sight have been so validating and empowering. Get some 20 muel theam Borax and sprinkle it EVERY WHERE! Good luck!

       - For some people, this is an internal problem… That said, just treating the house does not work completely. Treating the body is most important because they come out of the skin and infest the environment unless it is caught early.

         Posted by Collembola Chick | June 3, 2014, 4:14 pm

       - I agree completely. In our case it was a neurological reaction to chemicals. It felt just like an insect. We had to treat internally.

         Posted by Debbie | June 3, 2014, 7:13 pm

       - Mary, I believe that you need to look at your own personal experience. I am a vegan and always have been (56 years old, vegan since 11).
         My ” bites ” began when we received a new sofa, the bites were limited to when we were sitting on our sofa. Bo bites in any other area of the house. We through out our sofa throw pillows, steamed our sofa and used borax and they are GONE.
         My heart goes out to you Mary. Try to eat clean, organic and natural, no Processed food. Get away from lotions
         Fragrant detergent and perfumes. Try coconut oil, olive oil, and vitamin E rightout of the capsule instead.
         If you have “Bites” , try baking soda paste to take out the itch. Use coconut oil massaged into your skin and scalp to sooth healing bites and block new bites.. Be well lady ♡

     - Mary - Courage, my dear. I had them and killed them and cured myself. I lived with them for two years. Please see my post below. Don’t lose hope. There is a way out of the hell you have been living in. Don’t give up. You will survive this and it WILL end.

167. First, thanks to the Doc for the most cogent explanation for Morgellons I have seen anywhere. That was not my situation, but had an infestation of predatory carpet beetles following a rodent infestation. Killed them by leaving for three months while nuvan pest strips - a boatload - killed them off. You must take nothing with you and remain away for three months, Took cephalexin and bactrim and killed those in my mucous membranes. Those drugs also cured a five year long case of fecal incontinence no doctors could diagnose. I don’t think we can know what new insects are showing up since Monsanto took over the world - or what insects are mutating to become parasitic that have not been parasitic in the past. Carpet beetles - normal black ones - have not historically attacked humans, but they are now. I have found them in every item of linen I have purchased that was made in China, so I suspect that is the source, and it is nationwide and epidemic. The regimen above worked for me and I hope it will for some of you also.

     - Hi Carol, I really like your post it is very specific and makes the point that there are a lot of different ” invisible Bitting bugs
       / no see’ms” infesting our lives and homes, and that we can work together to get rid of them once and for all!
       My name is Susan, I have written above about the invisible/ micro beige bugs, I believe
       they’re Mites That Came Into My Home On A Leather Sofa. I have use Dry Steamer and Borax with great results to combat the little S#!tts.
       That said; I live on the beach in California which probably exposes me to a different verity of bugs then say someone who lives in Louisiana. Maybe we should start posting our geographical location and climate so that we can better narrow down what bugs are where and the best way to tackle them. What do you think?
       For example, if you live in a humid climate, maybe a Dehumidifier would detour the bugs naturally. Especially if they are “seasonal”.

       - Carol, please try the Dry Steamer ($125. Walmart. Com, it’s the purple one) before chemicals! It kills bugs, larvae and eggs on contact 🙂 With no chemicals.
         And try “Need oil” (home depot) kills bugs NATURALLY. Good luck!

       - The mapping idea is a great one. I caught mine in Phoenix in a residential hotel room, but the hotel insists that the mites were probably in a memory foam mattress pad I bought from Walmart on my arrival there. Though I am on the east coast now, that’s where they originated.

172. Hi, I have these bugs that I can not see but two other people who have been in my house said they feel them. One person said it is in there car. I first thought they were lice because I felt them in my hair. I used every thing to wash my hair like vinegar, oils, caps, shampoos, and it will go away to return later. While using this stuff for my hair, I will set in a chair that I know these bugs are in I will feel them stick my arms, legs, face or any part of my exposed body. I have been fighting these bugs for 2 months. I wash, vaccum, mop, the floors, furniture, clothes, cat, etc. and bag up must of my clothes. I use peppermint, tea oils, lavender, dawn, clorax, alcohol 91% & wintergreen, spray for fleas, bedbugs, lice, frontline for the cat, You name it I used it. I just ordered sulfur I guess keresone is next. Please help me if you know what I must do next?

     - You have to buy Nuvan pest strips - the big ones that will do a room each. Hang one large one in every room. Seal all windows. Leave your home for three months and take nothing with you . Go live with friends or family. When you return after three months air out fully with windows open. This stuff is toxic but the only thing I have found that works. Any clothing and linens you want to keep, seal in a vaccum bag with a small nuvan strip inside of it. you need to buy new clothes and linens. I now keep all clothing and linens in sealed zip lock bags and launder after one wearing. I had them two years. This is the only solution.

173. Hello All…… I’m back 🙂
     Update: Almost ALL Bugs are gone!! We have had an occasional bite, still limited to the notorious JCPennys Leather Sofa :-(, but for the most part GONE :-)!
     Just in case, I an using a “Need Oil” and Coconut Oil mixture to smother any remaining Bugs, Larva, and eggs. Need oil is a slower process, but it works by interrupting the bugs neurological and hormonal systems so it prevents reproduction. I think that what has saved us from going through the same serious nightmares that most of you are experiencing, is that 1) I have been “Natural” all of my life, so I am more knowledgeable regarding natural options.
     And most of all 2) WE HAVE STAINED CONCRETE FLOORS! No Carpet! No were for these little suckered to live!
     Good Luck to all, you are in my thoughts and prayers, Susan.

     - Where are you placing the neem and coconut oil mixture? Because I have the same problem with my leather sofa. I placed borax 20 mule team on and in the sofa and in side of the couch’s pillows. I have seen a small difference in 3 days. I have used DE for one month and it did not do like the Borax. I believe it is dust mites. I have used everything people have mentioned. I know it is the mite because my asthma starts up at night can’t see them at all in my bed but my breathing is affected and I felt them in my hair and legs. They do not bite they sting more then bite. I know what bedbugs look like but I cannot see these things. I have removed all carpet. What should I do for the cat? I have bathed her twice and sprayed her with lavender solution. I got my sofa in Feb. these buggers came out in June as soon as it became hot. I have not understood until now what these things were over whelming for me not . Thank you for the borax tip and prayers. I pray for those who do not know what is going on.

       - Hello Charmaine. I too think that my bugs are mites, they’re micro beige bugs and their bites are extremely itchy!
         I’m glad that you are using the Borax, just remember that the dust from the Borax can be kicked up and irritate your breathing, so best to through something over your sofa while you are treating it. Also, Borax works really well, but it takes time so be patient.
         The Neem & coconut oil mix; I made a thick pasty mixture and rubbed it in all of the seems and between the cushions. Then I sprayed Neem and water mixture all over the liner on the bottom of the couch.
         For your cat…. I wash my dog with 1 part white vinegar , 4 parts water, 3 drops dawn dish soap ( without bleach). Neem is safe for humans, dogs, cats, and birds.
         Something that I am carefull not to do is
         “cross contaminate my rooms”. If you sit on the sofa that is infected, don’t ware those clothes into your bedroom as this can carry the bugs into your BR. Good luck, I hope this helped.
         P.S. Use a good bug barrier on your sofa while you are treating it. I used military
         Pancho liners because I have quite a few. I would recommend an allergie protection mattress cover, or even a shower curtain or large piece of plastic or painters tarp…..
         and remember. .. This takes time BUT IT IS WORTH IT Because it works ! 🙂

       - Here are a few recipes for natural, inexpensive, homemade Pesticides 🙂

         1. Neem

         Ancient Indians highly revered neem oil as a powerful, all-natural plant for warding off pests. In fact, neem juice is the most powerful natural pesticide on the planet, holding over 50 natural insecticides. This extremely bitter tree
         leaf can be made in a spray form, or can be bought from a number of reputable companies.

         To make your own neem oil spray,
         simply add 1/2 an ounce of high quality
         organic neem oil and ½ teaspoon of a mild organic liquid soap (I use Dr. Bronners Peppermint) to two quarts of warm water. Stir slowly. Add to a spray
         bottle and use immediately.

         ——————————-‘——————————-
         2) Mineral oil

         Mix 10-30 ml of high-grade oil with one liter of water. Stir and add to spray bottle. This organic pesticide works
         well for dehydrating insects and their eggs.
         - - - - - - - - -
         3. Citrus Oil and/or Cayenne PepperMix

         This is another great organic pesticide
         that works well on ants. Simply, mix 10 drops of citrus essential oil with one teaspoon cayenne pepper and 1 cup of
         warm water. Shake well and spray in the affected areas.

         4. Soap, Orange Citrus Oil & Water

         To make this natural pesticide, simply mix 3 tablespoons of liquid Organic Castile soap with 1 ounce of Orange oil to one gallon of water. Shake well. This is an especially effective treatment
         against slugs and can be sprayed directly on ants and roaches.

         5. Eucalyptus oil

         A great natural pesticide for flies, bees and wasps. Simply sprinkle a few drops of eucalyptus oil where the insects are found. They will all be gone before you know it.

         6. Onion and Garlic Spray

         Mince one organic clove of garlic and one medium sized organic onion. Add to a quart of water. Wait one hour and then add one teaspoon of cayenne pepper and one tablespoon of liquid
         soap to the mix. This organic spray will hold its potency for one week if stored
         in the refrigerator.
         I
         7. Chrysanthemum Flower Tea

         These flowers hold a powerful plant chemical component called pyrethrum. This substance invades the nervous
         system of insects rendering them immobile. You can make your own spray by boiling 100 grams of dried flowers into 1 liter of water. Boil dried
         flowers in water for twenty minutes. Strain, cool and place in a spray bottle. Can be stored for up to two months.
         You can also add some organic neem oil to enhance .

175. A tip for those of you who “actually have little invisible bugs”, and believe that they a crawling on your body and in your hear
     while you sleep ( or any other time)……. Before you go to bed rub coconut oil into your scalp and hair, you can wear a shower cap if you want, but I think at this point oil on your sheets is the least of your concerns. If you work, shower and shampoo (With NATURAL products) and then massage a light coat of C.O. intended your scalp and your body. This should create a barrier abd block the bugs from biting you. Think about how small these bugs actually are…… to them Coconut oil is really thick and gooey. REMEMBER….. NATURAL!! These critters are building up a resistance to b all of the chemicals that we are introducing them to, while the same chemicals are slowly killing us. Thank you Bug Man for a truly great blog!!
     Good luck all ♡

     - Thank you Susan!
       I have everything you suggested accept the neem oil and the chrysanthemum but I will be glad to order. I actually used baby oil in my hair at night but I will start with coconut oil. What do you think about organic sulfur? If they come on me at night I take a pinch of sulfur and place in my bed then place the oil on me and I’m able to sleep. I also take cotton with sweet oil for my ears.This seems to work for a good night sleep.

       My husband thinks I’m nuts because he doesn’t feel a thing. But I have watched him scratching so I got T Gel shampoo for his dandruff. He is carrying them from room to room which makes it hard but the borax is really working on the chairs in the living room. What is your suggestion for a natural sleep agent? Because after fighting them all day I’m sleepy but when I feel something it really stops me from falling asleep fast. Thank You once again. You and the bug man have been sent to help me make some sense of all this and actually see some results.

       - Charmaine, I am so thrilled to know that things are improving for you! I would suggest that you weight on the Neem Oil, I’m trying it, but I think that the Borax works best. As far as you and your bed are concerned; I would suggest that you only use ‘Organic’ oil on your body, baby oil is made of petroleum and not good for you. Also, I would suggest that, As long as you are not on blood thiners, you try taking a Garlic supplement. Garlic is animmune ssystem builder, and it tends to keep the bugs from biting. I’m convinced that the bugs are attracted to women’s hormones :-/.
         For your bed; buy “waterproof” zipper mattresses covers for both your mattresses and box springs, as well as covers for your pillows. The bugs will have no where to live :-). Good luck and don’t worry, we’ll get get these little suckers!! 😉

       - Charmaine, I found a natural pesticide that works! As we discussed, I was using “Borax” and it worked very well. However, still an occasional bite, so I went in search othera natural ppesticide. .. thus “ECO SMART”. I swear it works!! I sprayed the infamous JCPENNEYs sofa, as well as my favorite chair 2 months ago and NO BITES! and it smells good!
         Just wanted to share with you. Hope you are well, Susan.

Doctors told her scabies, exterminator said bird mites, but not sure. On a really bad day husband took her to ER, docs were no help. She too caught bugs on tape so that same night, her desperate husband decided to take her to vet, and vet knew what it was, he was really freaked out because he said he’d never seen this in humans, he refused to charge them and will help them off the clock. My sister is normal she doesnt do drugs she was living in an apartment where her and the tenant directly below her was experiencing same thing, both had bedrooms facing garden. She moved 3 weeks ago took nothing because of fear of reinfestation and still the parasites had the issue described above yesterday.

     - What did the vet say the parasite was? This is of vital importance to everyone.

       - My vet confirmed they were stick tight fleas …so tiny …like grans of dirt …unless you get sticky tape and place it where you feel them crawling …they are hard to catch and impossible to see ..unless you have a microscope …they are like Aliens invading the skin on your head ,neck and back … … ….even our vet missed seeing them ..until my dog had to go in for an ear operation …which could not be carried out because my pet was anaemic showed up in the blood tests… ear problem was also due to these pests ….got all pets onto Frontline+ ….my dog …that was suppose to have the ear operation lost all control of his back legs …we rushed him into the vet by then front legs had gone …was told if vet didn’t get him onto a drip immediately …he would die….cost a couple of thousand dollars to get my dog back and healthy again …but the ear operation never happened …so he has been left with what they call a cauliflower ear …after all pets were treated …they then attacked me ….No doctor could help me ..no one knows anything about them ….and the doctors don’t even want to come close enough or take a sample…makes me feel like a leaper …have had a little break of them ..have just treated my pets again …and found last night ..and today itchy again ….as I mentioned before ….the only relief is to spray hair with mentholated spirited …have also with my fingertips placed a little frontline on my scalp or if I am not going out spray and massage scalp with Kerosene … ….spray all my cloths with methylated spirits …and spray my body after a shower with Kerosene and rub in … and all bench tops and floors with Kerosene …burn.t all pillows…and sprayed new pillows and bed sheets and carpet with Kerosene … also Morten 9 month bombs to fumigate both bedrooms as these pests love the carpet …sprayed lounge with Morten surface spray and vacuum every third day….it has been very expensive …basically it puts your life on hold ….I cant even visit my daughters and gran children as I am afraid they will catch them ….they don’t effect every one the same …but if your immune system is down ..they are on to you fast …they don’t like the smell of eucalyptus ….so I place some on the corners of the pillows before going to bed …seeing a dermatologist tomorrow …so hoping to get something done about the lumps on my scalp …just hope he can help me …because while they are feeding of my blood on the scalp there dropping 6 to 12 eggs a night …. these things to me are more like ticks than fleas …. when you try to get them out of your ears ,or nose …feels like tiny splinters …hope what I have tried and it has helped me …will be able to help others going through this… please let me know how you are all getting on …. ❤

       - I don’t know not all symptoms are the same. No lumps no scars no bumps. Well done times i feel like there is a large mass of them in my left shoulder blade of my back. Like a pull and tingle.4 Zertec and children’s benadryl help at night 1 Zertec during the day. Caffeine makes it worse. I have no idea how we got them been 3 years now. Yes they like carpet . When I go near wood and computers they go off. Tingle itch pop.
         I can her them in the pillows when they flair up its a pop and drop sound. Then you feel the swarm or crawling. Mostly on upper lip and face. Crawling in scalp. Vaccuum daily with tube. Tea tree oil and menthol. No one in my family feels a thing. They are worst in my bed but feel them in my car and in my office. And leather chairs.

       - Had these black specks and bites for a very very long time. I still see some black specks, especially in cotton shirts. I dry everythig In a hot dryer before wearing them . Sprayed with tea tree oil daily ;3 times or more. I think the best thing that helped me was washing with dawn and bathing in apple cider vinegar! Bites cleared up

         Posted by Karen | August 15, 2014, 11:51 am

       - That’s just the thing…no specks! I don’t see a thing! Not red nor black! Nothing. But I saw a swarm of transparent flies tiny. .under a ultraviolet light while drying my nails. I bet it is those parasites. I think they are parasites I can’t see them at all not in med not on white not on tape.

178. Definitely not the imagination for anyone who has/is suffering from this as I am (3 months now). Driving me crazy!!! Just when I think the bugs are starting to disappear they multiply again and yes they fly! Black dots, some red dots and a thing that looks yellowish-white that jumps from you to the furniture and then back again. The ones I have must be special because they LOVE the crown of my head and it’s (completely shaven bald thinking I have a real bad case of lice). Sitting at times I get a sting (they don’t want me to use my hands). The clicking, ringing and chewing sounds…I’m on the edge. I wash clothes (hot water), alcohol/bleach everything daily, wear plastic gloves while doing so, shower/back 3-4x a day, 4 tubes of permithren, 3 doses of ivermectin and 7 different dermatologist who all looked at me and stated “here’s something for itching, anxiety and the bites meanwhile you need to stop scratching. I HATE THIS. My life is turned upside down.

180. It seems to me that certain things trigger it. Alcohol consumption, cardboard, paper, heat. I am waiting to see what happens as I lemon juiced my head for a few days, put eucalyptus oil/lavender and tea tree, left bleach out in my house in bowls of water for a few days and then one night I woke up to pee a few times and the soles of my feet were sore all night then the next day I had no symptoms for a few weeks, so I believe it may have possibly been toxins leaving my body as I used quite a bit of pesticide in my house on 2 occasions, but why I originally got them I don;t know, infested linen? chemicals?? Anyway, will see what happens.

182. I have a big problem with all of this. I don’t know about any of you but I pay alot for my medical plan and now it is mandated. Funny just when I said I don’t want it. Why can ebolla be cured in 2 days and all these people are suffering?? There is a simple, cost effective, and most importantly non-invasive procedure that, according to my research, could solve most problems.
     It is a Trichoscope/Dermascope. I’d propose every Dermatologist learn how to use one especially if I’m paying for this sh..!
     Mine started with mandated vaccines 5 years ago which makes me even more mad, but what makes me infuriated is how will this affect our children someday. Not only the condition in it self but what we as Americans are willing to settle for in our medical care and the amount requested to pay for it. Honestly, after what I have been through I don’t want it.
     See for me, although I have no clue what this is there are wounds mostly in my scalp and arms w/ a ton of circle like scars (and i mean I am pretty scarred up forever and it hasn’t given me a break yet). I went to 8 Derms and wonder if they’d even know if I had head lice let alone scabies (which I don’t think I do and just a point). Now get this, after 6 Derms I waited approx 6 months to get into a place for a Trichoscope/dermascope (7th Derm). Based on my history of no success and failed treatment w/o diagnostic confirmation i felt it would be a no brainer. Never did I think it was optional for the medical provider to decide regarding a non invasive procedure that I’m paying for it. Well, to my dismay I was refused and instead given another trial and error which ended up being a big error. Low and behold the provider subsequently lost my records too. Now, I have not seen any fibers come out of me (yet), but during that timeframe (approx 3 years) there was a pending study being done by the CDC. To me, and under the circumstances of 6 previous Derms and pending CDC study, I think it would have been imperative to use a scope. But all of a sudden you can cure F’in ebola in a snap for 2 people (and wait i’m sure a vaccine will be prepared now that everyone is scared resulting in making someone rich). We all know the outcome of that study and I like you don’t have fibers, but have some feeling that that pending study along with many other ailments on line (scalp scabies, bird mites, IBBS, Morgellons, etc) prevented the Scope. WTF! We as a group need to ban together and demand that we get the appropriate treatment that we not only are paying for but mandated to do so to boot! Please research the procedure to see for yourself as I would imagine it would solve all these different complaints (if different). WE need to do this to protect our future generations (children, etc) and not give the Government this much control.

183. I actually found several burrows on the back of my right heel last week. I can’t believe I never saw them before, but I never noticed until I began to see bites over the veins in my ankles. I took pictures and will try to post them here now. I just can’t figure out how to get them from my phone to here.

     - Hey that’s what happened to me. That us when i think it started in my truck. Faculty in my school had to park in a sand dirt lot. My ankles were itching like ant bites or sand fleas. Then the next day swollen like I sprang my ankle! 2 months soar ankle. X-ray no damage. Then I opened bedding that was under my bed in a sealed container and it felt like worms or larva. But before then it was the ankle. And it seemed even time I got in my truck even after I stayed I was attacked with bites. Looked like carpet beatles. Or spring tails lots if them. Now no evidence of any bugs just this crawling sensation. Stinging itching sensitivity. Popping dropping hopping off of me and on me. Smh. They live in pillows! Love them . I just bought more. Infested within a day.

       - Wow, first off I have bedbugs, and thought for two months it was mites, scabies or something else. But to my horror, they were bedbugs! Since they can also live outside, and the babies come inside our duplex, it has been my constant depression.Yes they thrive outdoors, as I have come into the house full of babies, nymphs, and some adults.
         you bring home a few from the store, a friends house, Walmart, thrif5 stores, or a free couch you find, you can end up with many babies, like hundreds within a few months. you can kill the adults, but the babies still live, often for months, and if they get to adulthood, come back next Spring with more.
         I will tell you, if you have somehow gotten allot of babies, they will live in your hair, eyes, eyebrows, and privates, especially after they are first born. These little vampires, run up your legs ( creating the “tingling” “pings” and other weird sensations ) NOTE ( BIRD MITES ACT JUST LIKE BABY BEDBUGS ) If there is bedbugs in the house they go right to me, and not my sister. Diet has little to do with it. My sister and I share meals. It has more to do with your blood type, and body pheromones. Baby bedbugs can look just like a tiny black, beige, dark brown, or tiny ( orange-blood inside )color speck of dirt ( please see Kentucky University study on bedbugs… just Google it, it will come up ) these are most of the IBBS reported, as they are so hard to see with the naked eye. I will attach some pictures of my sheets, and bathtub. I can now tell you they crawl all over your face, and hair. The doctor or dermatologist does not see them, I know as I went 7 times, to urgent care, my pcp, and the hospital for desperate help. Now the Harvard School of Medicine believes there may be a connection, to bedbugs and diseases, no really! I always thought so, but If you Google that one, you can read it too. I found most of my information, and great videos, by Googling, Laboratories and bedbugs,and also studies on bedbugs. I am 62 and have MS, plus my sister is 68 and has had two bad strokes, and since I care for her, this is the worse thing for us. I cannot afford any help, such as a exterminator. By the way before I forget, you can kill them with Borax and 35% hydrogen peroxide, look it up, found that help at Grow Youth.com, and the hydrogen peroxide is often used to exterminate them by bug companies,,,,but the 35% is expensive, and I haven’t had the money myself. the baby bugs bite harder than the adults dp, like baby scorpions do, they don’t know when to quit biting. I have extremely sore neck, feet, privates, and eyes. I sweep the house 5 to 10 times a day, because, even 2 of them cause me agony. I am so allergic to them, and i wake up with so many in my bed, I feel ill. I need to tell you, or anyone, that use Vaseline on you privates at home, and at work with a pad, but for guys use paper towels. If you put some around the inner edge of your tub, take a bath, the little monsters will adhere to it, and you can see for yourself, what you are dealing with ( shampoo hair separately to keep water clearer. 0. When I have on shorts, I use it around my knee caps, to stop them from reaching my butt, and further. To keep them off my face, I clean with 91% alcohol, then a toothbrush and soap,to get them out near my eyes, and finish up with a little coconut oil to keep moisture in. hope I have helped someone, and if you want to talk or have questions, use this email lndbryant83@gmail.com ( no business spams please ) as I will help if I can. special Thank You to the Bugman, as he gave us a way to solve many problems, and gain wisdom too! May God Bless you all!

187. You all are not crazy I have suffered and still suffer from this but there is hope for relief ….yes Morgellons is real! I stumbled across something on the net when I was loosing my battle and it helped me. It is painful to start out with but it does help. Within 15 days sores that antibotics wouldn’t heal…. Healed and pain was gone. PLEASE TRY THIS AND LET ME KNOW YOUR RESULTS! Use only microfiber sheets. Avoid heavy cotton clothes. At night before bed run a hot bath add 4 oxyclean laundry tabs and 20 alfalfa tablets these are found at any walmart in the vitamins. Let these dissolve. Soak in this water for 30 min or so (it can be painful but my outcome was worth the pain). Do not use any soap to wash just rinse off in the shower after you have soaked. Pat your skin dry and use gold bond ultimate healing with aloe lotion. Do this bath every night for as long as it takes to get healed it took about 2 weeks for me. I had 2 + year old sores that healed completely in 2 weeks. I now do the baths 1-2 times a week to keep my skin clear. I only use baby soap now for my showers. But my first bath I was amazed, I had fibers and crystals coming out. I am no longer on my antidepressants and I’m finally pain free! I hope this helps someone the way it helped me. Please try it when you hurt and are afraid for your life like I was you’ll try anything. Post back and let me know if you try it and your results please!!!!!! God bless y’all.

188. Hi all,

     I would like to say that I’m not sure what it is but it is something. My grandfather had this same stuff and complained 24/7 he just passed at 90 years old in July 2014. He was to numerous doctors and they called it a itch. He complained that he felt like something was biting him all over and when we would look. There was nothing sometimes he had red sores, sometimes nothing at all. He said the only thing that made it better was a hot shower. He complained for over 50 years, I always thought it was in his head, my aunt who took care of him before he got ill says its something but not sure what. The itch!!

     Until about 10 years ago I started itching as well. Lotions don’t help, they help for minutes then back to feeling like something is crawling on me again . I have small blisters that hurt, sting and burn, at other times I just itch with no blister. The worst part is when I try to sleep, same as when my grandfather had it. He never slept, he itched all night. My grandfather passed from a rare disease where certain blood cells killed his platelets. He had blood transfusions 3 times a week to replace his plasma and platelets. But this disease was never linked to his itch. And everyone thought he was crazy until myself and my parents and cousins started getting this itch as well. No mites, fleas, or bugs were ever found in his home. Doctors finally tried to say it was in his mind.

     Nan no way!! Its something, maybe its in the air, maybe a new type of bug, you never know anymore what the government is putting in the air?? Want to chat about this then my email is clshenk1619@gmail.com. I am open to all replies. My boyfriend thinks I’m crazy and its in my head, and no I don’t have dry skin either. My boyfriend also saw my grandfather go through the same thing. So we both know its not in our heads. Good luck to all who suffer. God Bless, BTW I’m 33!! Not 90

     - Hi Vivian 🙂
       They are there, they are just very, very small.
       My husband and son thought that I had lost my mind until they started felling the little bites. Some bites are small and some are biger, I believe that it depends on to things…. How mature the bug that bites you is, and most importantly, HOW SENSATIVE YOU ARE!
       I am allergic to bee stings, a masquitoe bite will swell my whole limb, and I’ve almost died from a spider bite. Makes sense that I would
       be supper sensative to a mite bite as well.

       We still deal with remnants of these little
       S**ts! But very few.

       EchoSmart Natural pesticide works GREAT!!
       BORAX is also GREAT.
       Throwing out any and everything that you do not use regularly.
       Cover ALL bedding, with ZIPPERED WATERPROOF ALERGIE PROTECTIVE COVERS!
       And most importantly “NATURAL and ORGANIC!!!!!!
       Kill the Bugs NOT YOURSELF!!!

193. I have posted several times about the things I have learned on this list, and on another, that have helped me to survive for the past two years. In the beginning, I went to dermatologist after dermatologist and infectious disease specialists one after another, only to be labeled with “delusional parasitosis”, and I got tired of it all. Now, after two years, the bites are visible to the naked eye, and it’s obvious that I am not crazy-but I have no insurance. Anyway, these are the things I learned:

     91% Alcohol and Windex kill the little creeps. So does Dawn dishwashing liquid. Also, “scrubbing bubbles” (and it smells better) You can get the 91% at Walmart. I also buy the Great Value scrubbing bubbles (1.95 a can, lasts a couple of weeks)

     Paul Mitchell Tea Tree oil shampoo from WalMart’s Smart Style salon (forest green bottle) works wonders as a shampoo and body wash. Apply to hair without water and to body and allow to sit for 10 minutes before rinsing. DO NOT rinse your hair while you are in the tub or shower, get out and bend over the tub or sink to do it. In fact, don’t shower at all, only take a bath, and soak for at least 15 minutes. 30 if you can.

     One of the problems I had was with my bed. I have attempted to sleep while getting 200 or more bites before, and they really sting. Now I sleep well because I A) Put an Aller-Ease mattress encasement on my mattress AND on my box springs and I B) spray them with 91% alcohol before I go to bed every night. Then I put a clean fitted satin sheet from walmart on my mattress. The weave count of satin is so high that nothing can crawl through it from the mattress to get to me. Sometimes they crawl around the sheet, but not often. Now I may have a bad night once a month instead of every night.

     Mop and vacuum every day. Mop your kitchen floor with Windex. Mop your laminate floor with Windex. This one thing will improve your comfort level tremendously.

     I have found that the antibiotic Septra kills them completely. Septra is an old-fashioned remedy for lice, and it works because it kills the symbiotic bacteria in the digestive tracts of insects, which renders blood sucking insects unable to digest food, and they starve to death. Good luck getting a doctor to write you a prescription for it, though. If you want to try, go to Google Scholar and look up Septra/Bactrim and lice. Some doctors in Europe are still using Septra for this purpose.

     - I had this problem for a few months until I tried magnesium as epsom salts and realised what I had was actually “Formication”……Look it up. After the epsom salts a few times,it went. completely. Lifestyle.

       - Formication is another word for delusional. For many it is real. With arthropoods diagnosed in the skin. Perhaps you caught it early.

         Posted by Collembola chick | September 15, 2014, 7:48 pm

     - I should have said: Go to Google Scholar and look up a study about the use of Septra for lice, print it, and take it to the doctor with you.

     - Couple more things: Purell’s hand sanitizer kills them also. I use the Aloe scented one. But any hand sanitizer with 70% alcohol content will work. Don’t bother with the 60% brands, they don’t work as well.

       Also should have said that showering washes them from your hair to other parts of your body, especially your genitals. I take a bath and soak for at least 15 minutes.

       I believe that this is some sort of mite or flea that is coming to the US in imported goods. When I first caught it, and tried to talk to the hotel I was staying in about it, the manager insisted that I probably caught it from a 2″ memory foam mattress I had just purchased from Walmart, and I thought she was nuts. With the passage of time, I have come to believe that she was right. I have seen a few people here associate the onset of this problem with new purchases, and I wonder if everyone can actually associate it with the purchase of a new item of furniture or bedding.

194. Brad, how did you use the epsom salts? I actually have visible bites, but I’m willing to try it. Please advise how you used it, because there are many ways. I’m a registered nurse, I don’t need to look up formication. Thanks for your help.

     - Hi Vivian. I am in Australia so I bought from the drug store Gold Cross Epsom salts (Magnesium Sulfate) B.P. 1g/g. I had a tablespoon in the afternoon (for a couple of days) in 250 ml of water. Being a laxative it was quite uncomfortable each morning but it paid off. You can lessen the effects with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and grapefruit juice before bed (freshly squeezed preferably) as this helps with the laxative effect and makes it easier on your stomach. I honestly thought I had a major infestation of bugs for a couple of months but when I tried this I realised it was the toxin build-up in my body and the magnesium (epsom salts) flushed them all out. (bad lifestyle choices over a period of time). It took a few days but now I haven’t had any biting, crawling sensations for over a month, that’s when I realised after some research what i was suffering from was Formication.due to build-up of toxins. I would like to think I am not the only one. Hope it helps Vivian. I did not have any bite marks though, went to hospital and they couldn’t find anything.

195. I didn’t have any marks for about 18 months, then they showed up. Was the point to take Magnesium, or to clear your bowel of toxins? Thanks for your help.

     - Hi Vivian, I didn’t know I had bad toxins at the time I took magnesium, I read online from another person that magnesium worked for them to get rid of the bugs so I tried it and found it worked for me also.

196. So you took them internally, rather than soak in them. Soaking in Epsom salts is a popular way to use them.

197. For those of you who actually have little invisible biting bugs (Mites). Try “Borax” and / or “ECO Smart” natural pesticide. I was using Borax and it worked to keep the little buggers under controle. then I found ECO Smart, sprayed my sofa, that they came in on, an GONE! no more bugs!! Good luck every one :-).
     Remember; Go Natural!!!

     - Hi Susan,
       Have you been able to catch any of the mites for identification purposes?

       Posted by Brad | September 20, 2014, 2:05 pm
       Reply to this comment

       - Hi Brad. Yes I did, they were identified as “Mites”. They came into our home on a Beautiful, top of the line
         leather sofa from “JCPENNEY s”.
         And they have been a nightmare for over 2 years. However, fortunately, we have stained concrete and no carpet so the little buggers are limited to our sofe and chair. I have written quite a bit over time regarding our journey with these little suckers. Please rea
         d my posts. Our challenge has been nothing but an annoyance compared to what most of you have been through.

         A few simple rules ~
         Put ALL of your beds, matress, box springs and pillows in ZIPPERED WATERPROOF ALERGIE PROTECTIVE COVERS. Most pests like to hide, so get rid of throw pillows and unnecessary blankets. If things have sentimental value, put them in large sealed bags with BORAX and store them for at least 1 year while you rid your house of the bugs.

         I can not stress enough….
         NATURAL! NATURAL! NATURAL!
         I have read some pretty scary stuff on this blog. This is a really great blog! But be smart! And be wise! Our goal is to rid our lives of these bugs, not kill our selves.

         So, get rid of all of the extra stuff in your home that you don’t need/use, cover your bedding, and read my other posts.
         Try “ECO SMART” natural & organic pesticide.
         Good luck all ♡

198. This lady is correct. She needs to have a blood test done to check her esophils . I’m betting the level is really high and white count is low. Check stood sample very very likely that she has round worms from the dog.

       - Epsom salts is used more for constipation. It taste awful. Of course I’ve taken it but not for this. I’ve soaked in it and it is a good for muscle relaxation and detox. It’s full of magnesium.

202. DeCaffeinated coffee is mostly processed by chemicals. Also what about the powdered creamers and refined sugar? Yesterday I had a dixie cup of a store’s free decaf, added sugar and powder, then two hours later, bam, my arms itched like several bugs were biting it or if i was cut with fiberglass/grass blades. then there were bumps appearing on my upper arms like pimples not ready to be popped. i did feel itchiness in other parts of my body but not as severe as my short sleeved arms. so it couldnt be reaction from clothes and laundry soap/scenters. I would suspect the sugar to be the culprit firstly, then possibly the creamer and the decaf.

203. I don’t think some of you are getting what I am trying to suggest. (no offense intended) If you read The Bugman’s initial synopsis at the beginning of this blog he states that these bugs may be due to toxins in our bodies (bacteria) sending signals to our brains. (read on if inspired). My point is that a good detox with magnesium sulphate as well as Hydrogen peroxide (approx 2.9%) as a way to flush these toxins from you bodies, you may too find as I did that these bugs WERE in fact chemical reactions my b rain was receiving as IBBS. It’s your choice obviously but I do implore that you at least give it a go. (read my earlier posts for more info).

     ALL the best

204. I too have this problem. I was convinced it was lice. I treated it with all the usual OTC solutions. They didn’t work. I would have a day of relief and then the crawling sensation would return. The only thing that I’ve found to work is waxing. Go get an at home waxing kit. Use it. Follow directions. Put used strips in sealed bag. B persistent!! It’s the only thing that works!!

205. my daughters and I had “the bugs” two years ago in the summer. We aren’t sure if we got them from our cat or a case of head lice we had a few weeks before. Felt like being bitten, stung all over body, even in eyes throat, ears, etc. crawling everywhere. Left the house for a week, and had it fumigated. Bugs seemed to come with us, even though we tried to be careful with everything to not take them. They seemed to follow us in car etc. Interestingly, my DH did not feel them like us girls did. I think it was an internal viral or bacterial infection from some sort of insect bites or something. We got burning parallel scratches too. Drs. of course thought we were nuts, gave us permetrhrin, which we refused to use without a diganosis. the symptoms went away on their own after about 6 weeks. To me felt a little like chicken pox (I had it when I was an adult) We had various skin eruptions that seemed to heal very quickly. Had lots of tiny blood like dots on skin and mysterious bruises, as well. We used all the online recommendations: borax DE, windex, detox, salt baths, etc. never wore same clothes or towels twice in a week. Used lots and lots of lint tape rolls. Bought a hot tub and filled it with Chlorine! Got a digital microscope to see the black hexagonal specks, that we had all over sheets and skin, that we believe were damaged skin cells emerging. We would feel a sting and then see a black speck on skin. Lots of granular yellowish specks too… It is going around mostly coastal states and affects more women than men. I think it is related to Morgellons. We had internal flare ups too, during our outbreak. Ended up in ER twice. I tried a lot of detox and cut way back on sugar. Was harder to get the kids to follow diet/detox. I also used silver, which I think helped rid mine. But we all recovered at around the same time oddly. It wasn’t just me going crazy because we all had it!!! I fear everyday that we will get it again someday. I just hope some doctors get it so they can figure out what it is. We tried to give it to them but didn’t work, lol.

206. Have any of you read the introduction from The Bug Man? In case you missed it, here it is again for you pleasure:

     My Response: (The BugMan’s)
     I am convinced after studying this syndrome for many years that it is caused by chemicals in our bodies, not by bugs or fungi. Many chemicals can interact with our nerves and send false messages to our brains. For instance, some chemicals can tell our brain something is crawling on us or biting us, and then we react by scratching, and worse yet, spraying ourselves with pesticides or chemically loaded skin products, which just exacerbates the problem. Some people describe it as a feeling of bugs or parasites scuttling around beneath their skin, accompanied by open lesions that heal slowly and ooze out blue, black or white fibers that can be several millimeters long. These fibers appear like pliable plastic. They can be as fine as spider silk, yet they are strong enough to distend the skin when pulled and elicit shooting pains when you try to remove them. Some of these fibers have been analyzed and they contain along with other substances, bovine DNA. That means the chemicals causing the fibers probably came from drinking milk or eating beef from chemically fed cattle. Vitaly Citovsky, Professor of Biochemistry and Cell Biology at Stony Brook University in New York, discovered that the fibers also contain the substance Agrobacterium, a genus of gram-negative bacteria capable of genetically transforming not only plants, but also other species, including human cells.

     Here is what you need to do to try to solve this problem.

     First, never expose yourself to pesticides or insect repellents that contain DEET. These products have a lot of chemicals that can harm you. If you use them, they can destroy your immune system making you susceptible to other products. Don’t let pesticides be applied in your home or your workplace and try not to frequent any public building like a restaurant that has recently been treated with pesticides.

     Never eat meat from a factory farm. This means almost all meat found in a supermarket or Walmart. If you have to eat meat, eat only meat from small farms or ranches. Never eat vegetables or fruits that have been sprayed with pesticides. If the vegetables and fruits don’t say 100% Organic on the label, don’t eat them.

     Don’t eat any food that contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs). One expert, Jeffrey Smith, links GMOs to toxins, allergies, infertility, infant mortality, immune dysfunction, stunted growth, and death.

     Don’t consume anything that contains aspartame, such as Equal or Nutrasweet. As a result of its unnatural structure, your body processes the amino acids found in aspartame very differently from a steak or a piece of fish. The amino acids in aspartame literally attack your cells, even crossing the blood-brain barrier to attack your brain cells, creating a toxic cellular overstimulation called excitotoxicity. Also wheat, dairy, and soy contain exceptionally high levels of glutamic and aspartic acid, which makes them all potentially excitotoxic. It is quite possible these chemicals are communicating false messages to your brain, indicating biting bugs that aren’t there.

     Don’t eat food out of cans or drink water or other beverages from plastic bottles. The lining of most metal cans has a thin plastic liner that contains bisphenol-A. Bisphenol-A, or BPA, is a chemical thought to increase the risk of infertility, cancer, diabetes, and even heart disease. This chemical is also in plastic bottles. While bisphenol-A may not be directly related to IBBS, it is a chemical that can have a adverse affect on people. There is no reason to weaken your immune system with any chemicals that can be avoided.

     Avoid cotton products if at all possible, particularly tampons if you are a woman. In the United States alone, approximately 600 thousand tons of pesticides and chemical fertilizers are applied to cotton fields each season. To bring this fragile plant to harvest, it is heavily sprayed 30 to 40 times a season, in extreme cases, with pesticides so poisonous they gradually render fields barren. Some of this cottonis used to make furniture, mattresses, tampons, swabs, and cotton balls. The average American woman will use 11,000 pesticide treated tampons or sanitary pads during her lifetime. Use only natural tampons.

     Don’t use cleaning products such as soaps that contain triclosan or triclocarban. These chemicals are endocrine disrupters. They are widely used in antibacterial soaps, body washes, lip glosses, deodorants, dog shampoos, and even toothpastes. Some brands that contain them are Dial, Colgate, Lever 2000 and Vaseline.

     There is no guarantee that avoiding all of these products will solve your problem, but it certainly may help. It may take awhile for the chemicals to be removed from your system, so don’t expect an overnight reaction. You may have to give it several months before you see the symptoms of IBBS start to disappear.

     In some cases, the symptoms may not go away. There are three possible scenarios to IBBS (or Morgellons). One could be mites in the house. If you treat the house with a non-toxic product such as Greenbug, and the problem doesn’t go away, then it is most likely chemically related as stated above. If that doesn’t produce results, then it is probably psychological, which is possible in rare cases.

     Enjoy!

     “ECO SMART”!!

     I am so incredibly he ppm with this product!!!

     Today I called the company to say “Thank you” and ended up having a great conversation with a very nice and informative woman…… After hearing from so many people “You are so perinoid. There are no bugs in your sofa, it’s probably your CRPS.” Or “It’s all in your mind”. Or. Go Natural, It’s toxins in your body”…. It was so wonderful to be received by a women who was so responsive, none judgemental, not condescending, and very supportive!
     I thought for sure, that as usual, I would be met with arrogance and dismissal, not even slightly!
     So, if you have read my posts you know that I am, and always have been “totally natural, organic and vegetarian, almost Vegan ”
     No processed foods. Anyway, I have been dealing with “Invisible Bitting Bugs” for almost
     2 years, not nearly as bad as what any of you are dealing with, but still frustrating none the less. Considering that I had 1 service dog that was only slightly bothered by th bugs I considered us lucky. Now we have my new service dog “Freedom”. Freedom is a large German Shepherd, she quickly began itching, scratching, chewing, whining and bites begana ppearing all over her body. Off to the vet we went. No fleas, “Invisible Bugs” “Mites” I new it! We take no pharmicuticals and give none to our pets, so with the vet’s blessing and support I went on a search for “Safe Bug Killer”. Found “ECO SMART”. After calling the company to confirm that it was truly safe to spray “everything, including my sofa and chair, I went for it. As God is my witness “Gone!” With only 1 aplication to my sofa, chair, and the dog areas…. No more bugs! That was a month ago!
     Seems so simple I feel stupid for not finding it sooner. …

     Try it folks. …… You have nothing to loose!
     Be Safe. Be Healthy. Go Natural and Organic ❤

     - Hi Susan, I appreciate your honesty.and validity.
       I really think it is about a genuine, proper detox rather than just going organic, Going organic would certainly be beneficial in my opinion,but It needs to begin with an intensive and detailed detox.

         I was writing more to those who are dealing with actual “Bitting Bugs”.
         As for those dealing with “Morgellons” Or an overload of toxins in their body, I have nothing but love and prayers for them as I am not a Doctor, Nutritionist, or even a Nurse. I would never begin to diagnose a person in person, let alone via a blog, or recommend anyone ingest any substance that was not specifically intended for “Human Consumption”.
         Good luck to you Brad.

       - Hi Susan, also the hydrogen peroxide is sold here in Australia under the name of clear wine. it’s put in win e bottles (Usually 5 per 750ml) to take the impurities out of the wine so you don’t feel so hungover the next morning and works well in my opinion. It’s low volume is what makes it suitable for human consumption just as its low volume is added to certain toothpastes and used by dentists depending where you are before they clean (scale) your teeth. I am not recommending anything, only stating once again what worked to rid me of the living hell known as IBBS. In my case it was from the lifestyle i was leading and this is what i used to detox and it worked for me.

         Posted by Brad | October 15, 2014, 1:20 pm

       - Anyway seem to be getting off topic here but that clear wine is put in as 5 drops into a 750 ml bottle of wine. It is hydrogen peroxide and legally sold here in Australia due to its low volume per bottle.

         Posted by Brad | October 15, 2014, 1:24 pm

       - Hi Susan, Epsom salts (Magnesium Sulfate B.P. 1g/g) are intended and sold in Australia for human ingesting for particular ailments.thus being specifically intended for human consumption as you suggested it wasn’t. Please do not put words in my mouth. I only intended to mention what worked for me as I know how living with IBBS affected my life and made it a calamity. Kind regards, Brad

       - Hi Susan,
         I too love this blog and reading your posts. It’s a wonderful place to speak about our personal experiences. Perhaps there was misunderstanding that I was recommending people try Epsom salts or hydrogen peroxide. I would not do that. I was intending only to say what worked for myself. I would always recommend others to see a specialist before ingesting anything I mentioned here. Everything I have mentioned here which I have tried is all legally available to buy over-the-counter, non-prescribed here in Australia. Actually its marketed as “pure wine” here in Australia. Always consult a doctor (Specialist) first before ingesting ANYTHING mentioned here. I am neither, I do agree with the Bugman that this issue is caused by imbalances within our bodies which many may not agree with however, whatever your opinion or cause of your problem may be, always see a specialist first. 🙂

210. here’s a kicker. I have been sick for 4 years and everyone thinks i’m either a hypochondriac or ….something else. However my cats scratch with no relief from ivermectin and flea powder/shampoo and my dogs cry in their sleep, Why? Because there is constant cross contamination and a life cycle that goes unseen. Thousands of dollars later we are now on the verge of discovering what it is that is biting us and you may well be surprised. From the university of Guelph it was ruled out as a fungus but they said something was in the hair shaft of the cats fur.
     This was posted by Jim on August 21, 2005 at 18:54:42: Jim writes;
     “that is much thinner and fragile than human hair and sort of has the texture of a cobweb left behind by this mystery bug. Another clue is that I can often feel them moving in my hair on my head and when I shower while I feel them moving around up there as soon as water touches my hair it becomes extremely sticky”.
     You may not ever experience the sticky part but i have experienced the same thing and found strands of white thin material about one half inch in length. I do not see this form very often only twice in 4 years. It has some short version or different life stage all over my skin in the folds and crevices, crawling near or in my nether lands., going into my nose mouth ears and causing a sore throat and an upper wheezing in my chest. I have had pain in my tongue and headaches. sinus problems as well as feeling slightly queasy, pain in my organs, muscles, joints and worst of all is the heaviness in my chest and palpitations. I have experienced all the things of toxic shock syndrome as written under Fungal infections including a weird kind of drowsiness.
     These things do feel like grains of sand, they have a biting sensation and you will feel them on the bottoms of your feet as well though my brother experiences NO Sensations!!!!!! even though he shows physical signs of skin irritation and has gone to doctors with no results. If you use iodine on your face you may be unhappy to discover that brown lines and or patches appear usually from the eyes to the mouth. The iodine hurts like hell where the skin is breached. You won’t see anything on your face until you do this. If you experience pain in your teeth or face and have earaches but no doctor can find anything then don’t despair yet. They say stonglyoids is not in north america but I guarantee you this is a microscopic flea or lice that (i am having one identified as I write) carry’s a nasty worm. The problem I believe s the confounding of two different organisms contributing to different symptoms that don’t match and make it difficult for doctors to diagnose and the health labs quite frankly are not experienced to look for pathogens/parasites that are out of the ordinary. That’s an entomologists job.
     Here is what to look for in your home. This may be frass which look like tiny pieces of tree or plant debris. It may also be the nesting site or cocoon of these silky white hairs which I have seen. Tiny white hairs sticking out of one of these very tiny pieces. It also may be the remains of the eggs that they hatched out of, I don’t know. Only that I have viewed them under a magnifying glass and once under a microscope. I thought back then that it was a nematode , those strange black things on my cat and myself that the vet pulled off. He said he didn’t know what it was and had never seen anything like it before-but they had a mouth!- I am sure now. Where or how we got them I don’t know. That they are extremely prolific multiplying at the rate of a fly laying eggs and do get into sheets, floors and walls, are motile, easy to kill with vinegar on walls and floors, borax in the laundry and hang your clothes in the sunshine it does kill them. Unfortunately hard to kill without a complete treatment of all animals and this includes anti helminth drugs for yourself. They are NOT birdmites. The environment is changing and it is true that most of our food is poisoned along with the air. It is also true that most organisms are stretching their niches in order to survive. The things I have written apply to myself, It sounds as if some people may have similar experiences/symptoms. The very best to all of you and when i get more i will post. Hope this has been of some small help in looking at other directions/possibilites.

211. I also AM being eaten alive after 2 years I told my husband they seem to leave a plastic barrier therecutting through my skin and my sores wet consistency to them they dry up like A thin layer plastic only to cut through my scabs when I pull them out I want to literally scream they hurt also have the fibers which I’ve come to the conclusion they are coming off of my clothes they get into the scabs cause wet and rubbery consultancy to dry up like plastic..I think the fibers off my clothes get into the wet area and it gives us some kind of juice to cause the fibers to move like a worm. I have studied everything that has to do with skin parasites mites bugs lice, ect..I’ve noticed that when I pull a hair follicle out the bulb at the end seems to have something sticking out of it almost looking like feathers of a bow and arrow..2 years of suffering I’m telling you it’s demodex mites. They live in people of all ages they cause acne in teenagers its not ask me its these demadex Mike look it up study back to the follicle once I pull it out with the mites and it intact the scab & sore closes right up..I haven’t tried it yet but I’m going to get tea tree oil 100% and also flowers of sulphur that they use on cattle and in other countries to keep mites and parasites that they will let you know if this works for me. These things will wear you down to a knob I’ve had to go to the hospital the last time they gave me a steroid anti-inflammatory injection for my autoimmune disorder and it literally by itself was causing them to hill but that’s because my body is so run down from suffering from these things after three days they started emerging again I’ve used every scabie medicine lice medicine bedbug medicine..I’m almost positive after studying the demadex this is what it is I see them and they actually look like a nice if you see pictures the tales of them are shaped just like a steak knife and that’s how they feel.when I’m plucking them out while I’m not it feels like someone is throwing sand Spurs on my arms and back.I know this much I am scarred from head to toe physically and they do cause a lot of emotional damage just well I live in my restroom keeping them clean picked out I’m not a picker but they don’t get well otherwise unless I keep them moving. Demodex can get into your skin by the tens of thousands. One way to stop any spread of any type of bug is do not buy used bedding. People 70m above and 9 the above have a hundred percent of them have demadexmight I believe its spelled demodexmight there is no bug spray to kill them they say flowers of sulphur you conducted on light powder and that will do it going to try that very soon good luck to fellow sufferers that’s awful..

215. Unfortunately, both sides could exist in this case. Do I think that there’s not something that could be there? I’ve been a victim of mystery bites and a invisible bug that can become a part of your life. I suffered from it for about 3mths last yr. Had the carpets steamed cleaned, exterminator out, and through everything outside or away. After all is gone in my house began to feel better. My wife still says that something is here in the house and continues be cautious and trying to treat it. I believe that when you get infested it could cause DI OR see http://cmr.asm.org/content/22/4/690.long everyone please read the article throughly and see if some of the description of the condition matches. I suffered and it states 1/3 come through, 1/3 need more convincing, and 1/3 never will and will always deny that they can possibly have DI. Mold spores, maybe I’m always trying to keep an open mind as to whatever it can be and was at a point of despair and desperation, however when it comes to mind what best fits the description of the “cause” that everyone is looking for the answer it describes many forms and believe me when I say that I know that I felt like something was biting amd crawling on me. I researched, scabies, mites, mangollens, fleas, lice, parasites, u name it and it’sa detailed research trying to get an answer as towhat it could be. After the spraying, cleaning, amd God’s healing I believe that I’m healed and have not felt nor been bit by anything. Therefore backs up with the case it mostly could be attributed to the mind. It’s hard as the article/research states to come out of and no many people don’t believe that their crazy. I don’t think you are crazy but because of something that could have been infesting your environment could be now effecting you afterwards. Just try to keep the option after all your research is done and nothing else can it can be consider the symptoms of DI & ask yourself what % of the 1/3 are you going to be in? I pray that you have the understanding to see that it maybe DI and that the 1/3 of people who are not going to be able to make it without a help of someone who specializes in DI and denies that it could be it and continues to try to find out an answer for a cure on something that is caused by the mind. I’m not saying that if u have an infestation of bugs that it’s DI however I’m just suggesting that it’s something that needs to be considered. It’s a great study I put the link to and have studied the bug world for almost 7 mths now my research is based on my true life’s experience amd feel that many things I’ve researched looking for a answer to what it could be crawling amd biting my family.

     - These test were done in 2004. Why they haven’t been acted upon by the CDC or the medical profession is a mystery to me. I had all the symptoms listed here. I went to the website below and ordered this book. I have been using the remedies in it for 6 months. It is the only thing that has worked.

       88 JOURNAL OF THE NEW YORK ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY Vol. 112(1)
       Hundreds of sufferers have reported symptoms to the National Pediculosis Association (NPA), as well as to the Oklahoma State Department of Health, similar to those described by Traver in reporting her own infestation (Traver, 1951). In response to the compelling nature of these reports, the NPA agreed to conduct a controlled research study of skin specimens in cooperation with the Oklahoma State Health Department. Twenty individuals diagnosed as having delusory parasitosis and ten non-symptomatic controls volunteered to participate in this effort. The clinical portion of the study was conducted at a single site during three weeks. Doctors with experience in the skin scraping method of specimen collection obtained and microscopically examined samples, and all anomalous findings were photographed. Procedures were instituted to preclude contamination, such as reported by Poorbaugh (1993).
       Abstract.—Twenty individuals diagnosed with delusory parasitosis participated in a single site clinical study under the auspices of the National Pediculosis Association (NPA) and the Oklahoma State Department of Health. The objective of this study was to determine if there were any common factors in skin scrapings collected from this population. These individuals, whose symptoms were originally attributed to lice or scabies, were part of a larger group reporting symptoms of stinging/biting and/or crawling to the NPA. Multiple skin scrapings from each person were microscopically examined. Any and all fields of view that appeared incongruous to normal human skin were digitally photographed. When the photographic images were initially evaluated, no common factor was identified. However, more extensive scrutiny using imaging software revealed evidence of Collembola in 18 of the 20 participants.
       Key words: Collembola, springtail, stinging, biting, crawling, Arthropoda, Hexapoda, Entognatha, pediculosis, human skin, lice and scabies.
       Delusory parasitosis, also known as Ekbom’s Syndrome (Ekbom, 1938), is a presumed psychiatric condition ascribed to individuals who are convinced, in the absence of any empirical evidence, that they are infested with an insect or parasite (Novak, 1988; Poorbaugh, 1993; Webb, 1993a). These individuals experience itching, stinging/biting, and crawling sensations on or under their skin, which are often associated with excoriations, discoloration, scaling, tunneling or sores. Their conviction that they are infested is reinforced by their observation of particles described as sparkly, crusty, crystal-like, white or black specks and/or fibers. Typically, these individuals have consulted extensively with general physicians, dermatolo- gists, and entomologists (Kushon et al., 1993) who could not find physical cause for their complaints. Despite findings ruling out lice, scabies or other medical causes, patients refuse to accept the diagnosis of delusory parasitosis (Koblenzer, 1993; Webb, 1993b), become extremely focused on eradicating the pests, and further compromise their skin by frequent scratching, excessive cleaning, and the application of various remedies such as prescription pesticides for lice or scabies, household cleaning products, and organic solvents or fuels. The symptoms are debilitating and the sufferer’s distress is compounded by the lack of a concrete physical diagnosis.

       - These test where not done in 2004 they were doing it done in 2009! After all the 2006-2009 controversial issues with it. My experience with this is seek out help and support. Don’t try to find stuff on the Internet or self diagnosis because of what you think it is and no one’s listening to you. Sometimes you just have to accept the fact that if everyone says that colors is black and you keep insisting it’s blue need to realize that the color is black.

216. I had this 2 for 3 years now.I finally moved to my third rental only this time I threw everything away and started over and it’s gone but to temporarily get rid of it for a 24 hour period so that you could actually sleep in your bed you must use a spray bottle filled with 99 percent rubbing alcohol and spread all over your sheets on your bed all over everything that you were going to sleep on then let it dry use a head lice product for your scalp and use a body lice spray for your body that gets rid of it for 4 or 5 days trust me I have spent thousands

     - Cambollia, springtaik infestations are also a thought. I remember seeing them in my carper one summer I used boric acid. Then I saw small worms In my cabinet downstairs and in my carpet. I bombed and washed the sealed linen under the bed I used the linen and it felt like larve crawling every where. I washed and bombed everything. It never stopped. I don’t know how it got so bad. I had a cleaning service every Friday, before..

       I DON’T know anymore. Im the only one in my
       HOME. I am learning to cope. I have bee. To doctors. Sometimes I hear popping in my ear then I feel the crawling sensation.

     - Almost a year of suffering, 4 dermatologists, 3 doctors, 6 trips to the ER, visible bugs, visible bites, plenty of healed scars from this. PA…Morgellon’s & no I am completely same - 29 years in the medical field and then this. I WISH it was imaginary. It would almost be better to cope with. Carpet steaming (cannot get rid of the carpet) as I live in an apt., extremely neat/clean, eat healthy, this came out of nowhere. Not sure why the term “invisible” is used. I can CLEARLY see the ones that are jumping around and they seem to favor my head/hair, ears, nose, eyes, lips, upper back, back of the arms and neck (WHICH DRIVES ME CRAZY). I too hear popping noises in my ear (but first I clearly feel a like piercing sensation on the back of my neck and then the popping noise!!!!!!!). I see black/red looking mites (in my bath water) & TRULY believe it IS a cambollia springtail like bug. I can hear them jumping/popping with the springtail appendage especially off the walls/mirrors. I get into the shower or bath water and I can see them jump off ( but before that, I can feel a sticky substance being sprayed on my back/legs). DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!! The other smaller ones…well they wait till I get out and jump right back on. For this reason, I cannot comprehend HOW IN THE WORLD I will ever get healed. I’ve tried EVERYTHING…and I mean everything from meds to pesticides to not using pesticides - all natural products. I clearly have an infestation that originated from an old house I used to live in (the house had exposed pipes, the central heating/cooling system was clogged with what looked like nests in the vents and the house STAYED humid. The symptoms started to appear as lice or scabies and since I work at home and spend most of my time away from people, I was stumped as to how I contracted lice or scabies (is what the doctor said I had) and kept treating me with permithren creme - I DO NOT want to ever see a tube of that stuff again - has formaldehyde in it as a preservative…SIGH! I would not wish this on anybody or anything. It is the worst! I guess I must keep hope that one day I will get healed. So SICK AND TIRED of washing, washing, washing, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, meds, no meds. All this modern technology in the world and nobody/specialist can’t figure out what it is.

218. After 3 years of this, I’m convinced that we are eating something that has genetically modified food in it, and the genes which have been inserted into the vegetable’s DNA are having the side effect of making us smell like whatever mammals these little fleas or mites bite, so they bite us. I think they may be rodent fleas of some sort. I have obtained substantial relief from eating a 1/4 teaspoon of minced garlic twice a day.

219. I have been using Kleen Green Naturally purchased off Amazon and it is really really making a diiference. It is non toxic with natural enzymes.

     I have tried other enzyme cleaners and this one is the best. Im not itching and crying myself to sleep anymore. II wash everything in it! Including me! I am still battling the car. I think i have to remove the stearing wheel cover. Anyway, this stuff has been a life saver.

220. Has anyone tried a detox? Sometimes our bodies need to be detoxified from the rubbish that we eat, drink, inhale, rub into ourselves, wear, etc etc, I could go on……. In my opinion, dealing with this previously, I detoxed, I used Epsom Salts mixed in water for about a full 2 week period, not everyday, only when I felt I was being attacked (which i was, but internally) It worked for me 6 months ago, after one on-going 2 week treatment and I haven’t looked back and have never had the feeling that things were crawling all over me..

       - Hi Delores,

         I had written a bit of info above in the last few comments of what I was dealing with. I used Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulphate. Gold Cross Brand B.p.1g/g mixed one tablespoon (Australian sized) in to a glass of about 300mls of water. Due to its laxative effect each morning it cleaned me out and therefore after a good detox I had no IBBS symptoms anymore.

222. I wasted heaps of cash in my home trying to discover what was eating me, I used pesticides (only made it worse of course) until I reached the point of helplessness and I couldn’t find anything after I went to the hospital. I considered that perhaps there was something wrong with me internally so I researched the possibility and after detoxifying I realised this was true.

     - Hi Brad,
       I know what you mean but with me it was different and I wonder why. I have had Morgellons twice. The first time I got it I moved and left everything I owned behind Just had the clothes on my back It was gone! If it was internal why did it go away when I moved? I was symptom free for 5 yrs I got it again when I moved in Janurary to an infested apt. I saw the same stuff I saw when I got it the first time. Fibers dots etc. I had the same symptoms too. I lived there only a month and moved AGAIN back to my old place where I had been healthy Guess what? They are now here too! I don’t get any of this. It must have different strains because my body and environment are so much worse than the first time I had it. I wish I could understand how apt got so infested so quickly I think it didn’t go away this time is because I didn’t leave things behind. I took all my furniture ,clothes etc. I just threw away my rug and my bed but the apt is filled with things Ive lost 25 lbs Hard to clean because Im so weak and tired. It seems you clean and theyre back agan the next day. They are on everything Some embedded in things and some crawling and won’t die. I don’t even know if you post here anymore or look at this site but if you do if you have any advice can you let me know? I can’t afford to move again. I’ve been sleeping in the stairway of my apt building at night. Like many people who have this my friends and family have dumped and and think Im insane They won’t let me stay with them Thanks in advance

       - I suggest you try activated charcoal from a health food store. Its from coconuts. Talk to them and at least try it Tess. If doesn’t work it doesn’t but you have nothing to lose right?

         Posted by Brad | April 4, 2015, 2:22 am

223. First, could you point to where you learned these fibers had cow DNA? I’ve read where cows have a similar skin disorder/disease called bovine detmatitis. These cows actually have the same horrible ulcerating slow healing sores with red, blue and black “fibers” in the sores - just like victims of morgellons. But I haven’t seen anything saying the fibers had cow DNA.

     Second, not being able to find a parasite doesn’t mean there’s not one. There are many possibilities besides bugs/insects. Let me just say that many have found relief through along course of treatment with ivermectin (usually in combination with antibiotics, vitamins, and antioxidants), or through treatment with a Lyme literate doctor (most of these people have lymes disease).

     Finally thank you for your genuine concern on this issue, and I hope the lady in question finds help.

224. I don’t know if or when anyone will see this. Im not sure Im nagavating this right. If someone see this PLEASE respond. Im so terrified I don’t think I can live on this planet this way anymore
     I had Morgellons back in 2009. One day something bit my ear and it bled. I went to a dermotologist and the usual things that everyone does and no one could help me. Then came the fibers biting itching . Going from doctor to doctor So much money spent on remedies that I read about on the internet. Put in a mental a mental hospitol against my will saying for being ‘delusional and psychotic”
     Then I moved. I moved to a new apt bringing only the clothes on my back. I left everything behind. Furniture books rugs etc. IT WENT AWAY!! For five yrs it was gone I forgot Morgellons ever existed, I lived a normal life like everyone else. Then in Janurary I decided I wanted to move again. I needed a cheaper place and I also wanted to have a dog which they didnt allow in the other place. I moved into a tiny apt in a prewar bldg. One day later I noticed MILLIONS of fibers in the bathtub. I don’t know how I hadnt noticed any of the signs of Morgellons when I went to see the apt in the first place. I freaked out. The next day just like lat time I was bitten in my ear. I started feeling creepy crawlies on my back and bites . I had to get out of there. I was able to move back to the other apt. I had spent 3 wks in the prewar apt.
     I thought that would be it but it wasnt. I brought it all back here with me. Its even worse here and I doint understand that. I’ve been back here almost a month and I am so sick. Much sicker than I was when I had this the first time. I also have no support which I did have last time. I don’t know if there are different strains of this but if so this one is much worse. Also my health in general isnt as good in the first place. I am living here like a squatter. I don’t know if I hadnt brought all my stuff back with me that I wouldnt have gotten it I think thats what happened. It was so bad on other place I brought it back on my furniture rugs etc. This time I am much more terrified because there is no one around to talk to or lean on
     The first night I was back here I took a bath in vinegar and peroxcide which I had read to do online. After I got out of the tub I saw tiny black thing crawling in the tub. It scared me so badly I never took a bath again and now only take showers. I know people say they want these things out of them but it was so ‘supernatural ‘ to me I couldn’t handlle it
     The biting and stinging are constant I sleep on a vinyil mattress cover. THere are fibers everywhere. Black specks. Even in the freezer. I wake up every morning with them all over my tongue and I scrape them off. I never stop crying . My sister thinks Im sane and told me to sign myself in to a mental hospitol.and she doesn’t want to hear it. Friends have deserted me. I just sit here alone. wanting to die. Im covered in scratches and brusies that come out of nowhere. I
     Cant believe this has happened to me twice. Last time it didnt make me so exhausted. Also I had a BF back ten who believed me and was there for me. Ths time I am seeing things and having symptoms I didnt have last time and I think even if I dont committ sucide I will be dying soon. I
     do have a son who believes me but he has his own life. He won’t come into the apt and he also told me to stop talking about it
     A few days ago I saw some of those same crawling dots on my wall. I ran and got a paper towel and tried to squash them. They didn’t die! Then I sprayed them with ammonia Nothing happenened. I sprayed them with enzymes and still nothing. I got so terrified that I screamed. Then suddenly they stopped moving and they became imbedded in the wall I don’t know if they are dead or alive. I tired to get them out with a sharp knife but I couldnt do it. Its like theyre part of the wall.
     The last time I had this I never saw anything alive.I see them imbedded everywhere. The walls My dishes Inside my cell phone case Even on the slit on the top of a screw driver. I see black fibers everywhere too that I clean up but they are all back the next day. I spend hours online reading things people did . I can’t afford all these things. Im on a fixed income and most of the things I have tried the last time I had this and it didnt helo
     I can’t believe this is happening to me again.and so much worse. How did my apt get infested so badly so qucikly? There is something on the sole of my foot that it making me itch and hurt but I see nothing and cant get it out. I can’t walk becuase it hurts more when I walk on it. I don’t want to live this way. I feel like Im cursed I would rather have Cancer because at least people would beleive me . I don;t know what to do. I see people online who have had this for over 10 yrs I dont know how they can stand it. My fatigue is so bad I cant do much. My fingers are being bitten as I type right now. Can anyone please talk to me? I really need help Thank You

     - Tess I can really identify with what you are describing. I hope this site and the opportunity to put words to things that normally you’d never in your right mind ever imagine you’d need to explain to anyone, brings you at least some strength and hope. As I was reading your post, I was really interested to read your reference to “seeing things”. I also am experiencing this and am at loss to tell anyone or describe it in a way that won’t have me “involentarily held” for a bit. Here is where i should say LOL, but its NOT really funny. I know too well the feeling of thinking that i must be cursed and if at least i had a disease with a name, people would believe me.

       I would say that I have really pushed myself to not be so aware of all these strange feelings, thoughts, sightings, sensations, waves, palpitations, twinges, etc. I can not be staying sane and focusing on all that on a daily basis. Its too much. I am a logical, rational person and I think that perserverence and patience will bring answers. So many of us searching, with many different remedies. Maybe its something like a Cut and Paste and find what works for us individually. I mean that maybe there is no one solid answer. I don’t know. Anyways, back to what i thought i was posting about - I am leaving my email and am interested in hearing from anyone else experiencing “seeing things”. I think those who are will know what I mean. I have had my eyes checked and that does’nt seem to be the problem. I see strangeness inside and outside. Anyone else? Stay strong. (Sounds like what I used to write in yearbooks!) Stay strong everyone! Ha. Kelly - ktehenman@yahoo.com (Thx bugman)

     - Please put hanging DampRid in your closets and bathrooms. Make sure you have a vinyl cover on your mattress, and bathe right before bed every time. Also, try to get a script for Ivermectin 3 mg (it’s hard to get, but helped me a lot the one time someone prescribed it for me.)

225. I beleive that you have morgellons disease. New study Feb. 17. 2015. Borrellia Spirochetes (like Lyme disease) found in skin scrapings of all 25 subjects. Additional, secondary infections were not Addressed. This includes myasis. Please know that treatment will start soon since the parasite was identified.

     - Hi Lori,
       Do you know where I can see this study? I read things online for hours and I never saw anything about this. I am so terrified.I am a nervous person ‘normally” For some reason last night was the worst ever since I moved back here a month ago. I didn;t sleep at all. The stinging and itching went on all night long. I sprayed myself with enzymes Alcohol etc Nothing stopped it. The bottom of my foot and toes are so bad. I have no one to go to the store for me for food I cant walk. I have no appetitie anyway. Now its hit my stomach inside. I feel a gnawing pain and also some chest pains. Has anyone else felt this? I don’t mean to sound dramatic I know alot of other are suffereing as much or more than I am but I told my son that he needs to try to understand and deal with me dying. because I cannot live this way There isnt one moment of relief. I don’t know how people can go on like this for years. I read something on here about the drug Abilify. I also saw something on another site about a drug called Neuronton. They are both anti psychotics I think. I asked my doctor for the Neuronton . Im not sure if she believes any of this but she knows Im not crazy. She has seen the marks on me but doesn’t have any answers. I have the Neuronton now but havent taken it yet Seems to have alot of side effects. Has anyone heard about this drug? I dread night coming now I don;t want another night like I had last night. Also does anyone think it would help if I throw away my rug and sofa? Thanks

       - Hi Tess So sorry to hear of your suffering. I remember the nights of the “swarm” coming over me. Absolute hell.

         I think the bugman is wrong that this is purely a chemical reaction. The vast majority of people seem to have been exposed to mould / fungus in a significant quantity and / or birds / rodents. The former then gets in your body, and the body has real trouble removing the mycotxins, causing your immune system to start collapsing / overreacting. The mites do bite and can not only have their own parasitic insects but quite likely are vectors for other infections. Plus, if you are bitten, then the chance of developing a yeast or staph infection is reasonably high.

         Moreover, many suffering from so-called morgellons have been identified as carrying Lyme bacteria - which is usually caused by an insect / tick bite.

         Then you attract the mould-loving bugs swarming you. There is of course also a chance that your body is suffering from other parasites already (ie you eat organic food but don’t wash veg properly).

         This may all sound overwhelming but things that have helped my family (we all got it).

         1) Lint roll all material that comes into contact with your skin - buy the jumbo rolls in bulk.

         2) Put dirty and clean clothes in sealed bags. Throw away dirty bags. Use borax, bleach / oxyaction, washing powder with vinegar rinse. Iron clothes / sheets with steam iron: then lint roll. My son, who was badly affected at one point, went from being v troubled including in day and out of our house to being virtually symptom free with almost no change in diet.

         3) Bed: Throw out any material that does not respond to this treatment. Do not use down duvets or pillows. Cover your mattress in plastic.

         4) Put borax granules mixed with dia earth 50 / 50 in your carpet (liberally), mop wood floors with borax and put powder along base boards / doors / windows

         5) Make sure there is no mould anywhere in your home or any bird nests

         6) Get air purifier, preferably with mould-killing UV

         7) if you feel itch / bite crawling on skin lint roll, then rub if 50 /50 borax

         8) Follow an anti-fungal diet. No sugar, etc and get your alkaline levels up.

         My partner and son would feel they were symptom free if they had never had this (any itch now makes you paranoid!) We just opened some old boxes and I’ve had bites all round my ankles and going up my legs again but since I put borax / dia earth down (I also have it in my sheets and clothes) biting feelings have gone down.

         You can live a normal-ish life again, although this is life-changing. I wish you light and healing.

226. My Husband needs your help…
     He had a stroke almost 2 years ago and he his lost his cognitive skills and short tem memory. In Sept of 2013 seven creatures came into our home about 42″ tall and they floated around and inspected all the rooms in our house. They were colorful, had large eyes, little or no nose, and no mouth. They left through some kind of portal and came back the following day and looked around again and left. That was the last time he(only he sees them) saw them. For the next 4 months they came and entered his body through his left ear and they made incredible repairs to his body, removed the numbness from the left side of his body from damage done during surgery, repaired his prostate, They only did this on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They went away for about 6 months and 1 or 2 returned and just sit in his ear and have not left. They resemble a butterfly with 2 large eyes and are very persistent, they stay with him 24 hrs a day. What he wants to know is how does he get them to go away. They want to stay in his ear opening and follow him were ever he goes. He plugs his ears at night with cotton to keep them out. Has anyone else experienced this?

227. I’ve a few questions relating to this subject and would be grateful for any comments and advice people have. Firstly my own experience is of an initial extreme itchy patch on forearm three months ago that was thought by gp might be scabies and treated for this. A few days later I felt itching and discomfort and looked and saw a tiny black thing halfway out of my skin. Under a child’s microscope this was not insect like but a bundle of fibres. Checking another time a couple of weeks later saw a similar substance. I’ve not had any lesions with fibres emerging. I have noticed some paper cut type cuts about 5mm long and scratch marks. When I first thought it was scabies I cleaned house, body and clothes as much as I could manage. From advice on websites I started on supplements. I am trying to reduce sugar in my diet and have stopped drinking freshly ground coffee. The fibres are now mainly noticed on my feet. I have some days when I feel fuzzy itchy in places and take antihistamine tablets. The questions I have are: do people think there are different types of this condition or is it that people react to it differently. When people say they are cured, has it gone away completely or has it reduced in severity to a condition that they are able to function with. Do people that say they are cured carry on taking supplements and keep up cleaning protocols. When people say that they see infestations in their houses, what are they seeing? Do I have an early stage of the disease that progresses in a particular manner or do some people get milder/more severe types of it? I live in the uk. I would be grateful for any advice people are able to offer.

     - I am not sure if it is all related. We are different so there will be different reactions and prognosis. Today I am now convinced it is worse during my monthly cycle and I now feel vibrations throughout my body and upon closing my eyes what appears to be a sea of plasmas. I am a Christan and feel that some of this is spiritual. Maybe a warning of things to come. It is a horrible thing to bring up to anyone that cannot think outside of the box. There is a wedge between myself and others who think it is psychological..my husband choes mot to believe anything that he cannot see. He is for the most part a logical thinker and very limited, only able to operate on the concrete. He is not enlightened by reading and conditioned by the government after years in the armed services. Subconsciously, it is fear, my reality is not his. So I just exist, as a wife mother. Thankful for my family but wishing for understanding.

       Today I walked into an indoor play area with my daughter and something sets it off. I feel a cluster or mass in my left shoulder blade, the inital source of vibration and itch. Back in oct. I went to a doc that gave me antibiotic for parasites..I expelled two, one from my neck looked like a white Ramen noodle and one from my side which was flat and blob like. Two nights before then I prayed. I woke up to find a larve coming oit of my right for arm. Dark bottom, white body sharp end felt like a chicken bone. I sprayed around my bed. I saw two moths. I clean and clean and place mothballs around my bed.

       Better but not bearable. I cope, I cry, I get frustrated I cry. I suffered trauma for years fighting so many spiritual demons. A husband with ptsd and a mother who was terminally ill and passed away. I often think it was this that caused me to slip into central nervous system issues..I have smoked, it does not help but cigarette, which I jate has taken the edge off, I find I feel better physically when I don’t, so I stopped.

       I become angry because I see the world as weak people who can’t deal with the truth and strong people who just cope . I think it is gmo in the food and atmosphere. I think the government knows more, I think in spirit it is the evil that exits, in the natural the new world order. Lol..but I can’t say this aloud because it doesn’t help and I do not want to be declared insane.

       So I cry, I pray, I clean and I survive on ,3 zertec pills at night and 1/4 bottle of benadryl.One zertec during the day. Don’t know how long I can do this but it helps . I am asking God to reveal what it is what isit frim and a cure. In respons, I never seen anything crawling or fibers 3 years. No black or white. I just feel crawling itching, popping, swarms. And buzz, worse around computers. Horribly in my bed and car. And when the air and heat comes on at different places. Heat makes me feel better, I steam and blow dry what I can tryto eat healthy and eexercise helps alot. I dont feel.or think about it when I am active.

       The body reacts to it as an allergy. Hint: zertec and benadryl helps. I can cope. Just don’t want to use it all my life but right now it is all I have other than Jesus..He knows our troubles, I trust Him. Until then I wait for a cure and acknowledgment of the source. God Bless.

       - I am convinced now that we are suffering this because we are attracting insects that don’t normally bite humans, and this is happening because of GMO foods that we buy in restaurants and grocery stores. GMO foods are genetically engineered by placing DNA sequences from animals, fish, or other plants into the seeds for food products, and these altered genetics in our food supply are causing us to experience illnesses that we have never had. In particular, I stopped eating out, and I stopped eating dairy products, and this helped tremendously.

         Many people are experiencing buzzing sensations, and I also think that this is related to processed, altered foods. A new illness called Restless Genital Syndrome, involves feelings of vibration, or buzzing, in the genitals, and was first described in a medical journal in 2001. It had never been heard of before then. One of my coworkers has it, and it is miserable for her. I sincerely believe that all of these weird symptoms we are having are related to the altered food supply.

         Also, think about it-the year 2001 is when the bees began to disappear…

         Posted by viv | March 31, 2015, 8:53 pm

       - I agree. Revelations speaks of plagues and affliction. I.believe it is brought on by these practices. Gmo, laboratory experiments. I felt the vibration twice, but I believe it was the burrowing of a parasite. My husband admitted to a vibration in his thigh near his groin area. It is possible he came back with this from Iraq. He doesn’t admit to this affliction as I. Something burrowed into mu ankle in 2012 it swell up and then it felt like a sprang. Xrays revealed nothing. It went away since then I have had the feeling of crawling.
         Now I think I have attracted other organisms, bugs, parasites. A walking host. I am a minister and a professor of education so I can think logically, critically, and out of the box.
         Some admitted to drug use, marijuana, which can have affects on some. Some may have mental illness or depression, but just as diverse as the population is, you will have diverse symptoms and reactions.

         The problem is weeding all of this out. When I have had enough and I am at my wits end I see it as pure evil. I get emotional and frustrated. Why? Im not crazy! This makes anyone crazy,but it is very real for many who do not do drugs or do not have a history of mental illness.

         There are spiritual implications for all things in earth, but this complicates those who can only deal with the concrete. I saw tge research and correlations with lyme disease. Mytotis?
         Springtales, Cambodia. Idk. I have taken blood test, nothing shows but anemia which could mean parasites, which I saw two days after bombing and antibiotics.

         Some sexual disease also can cause these symptoms. Idk because each person is different. One lady, a charismatic Christian said she felt like this until she left her cheating husband. Idk.

         Noone in my family in this house feels it.

         My mom who passed in 2011 from diabetes and kidney failure complained of this after recovering from a coma. I did not feel this until a year later. She passed in my home. I want to move and leave everything.

         Lord help us. Amen. Thanks

       - Hi Delores, thank you so much for your reply. Its the first time I’ve dared to post anything anywhere and the first time I’ve communicated with anyone about the condition apart from my husband. I’m sorry you have been having such a difficult time. I’m also a Christian and I understand what you say about the spiritual battle aspect of it. I have felt very isolated also but like you ask God how to help my body recover. I wonder if the condition does take over when people are stressed/at a low ebb physically and psychologically. My dad died three and a half years ago and I got shingles six months after he died. My children are older, young adults now but when they were little my husband had stress and depression and then physical illness and was unable to work for a time and took early retirement on health grounds a few years ago. He was a psychiatrist so although he knows what’s happened to me He wanted me to get a dermatology referral but in the uk there is very little recognition of morgellons so am waiting at the moment to see how I get on. My husband takes a strictly research based view of medicine and hasn’t yet seen a research document that has convinced him of what the cause is. Have you tried things like Neem capsules Dolores or Candida Clear? And does soaking in salt or epsom salts in bath help you? I’m trying Kleen Green at the moment, spraying onto my feet where I get the most fibres as well as using it round the house. I’ve prayed for you, thank you so much for replying. It made me cry, to have someone send me a message that understands but also because you are suffering. God bless, Ruth

       - I can’t tell you how many times in the last few years I have been reading on a site about Morgellons-type symptoms, and a commenter brings up sensations in or near the left shoulder blade. No one else seems to pick up on this. When my symptoms first started to get really bad a few years ago, one evening I felt for hours a painful sensation like something was boring through my upper back, between my shoulder blades. (I was scared *&#!less, natch.) Many times I had biting or itching or other sensations just to the left of my spine, between the shoulder blades. Sometimes I’ll think, well this bra must be infected, but sometimes I’m in a nightgown and not wearing a bra! There has got to be some significance to this left-shoulder-blade commonality.

         Posted by Sarah Connor | January 7, 2016, 12:11 pm

       - I have had these for about 2 years now. I am an incredibly clean/neat person and have always been all my life. My experience at first was fluttering around my ankles for 2-3 days and them BOOM, an explosion of them (a swarm). I lived in an old house and noticed what appeared to be a dried up grassy nest like area stuck in the vents of my living room AC vent. Cleaned it out and then 1-2 days later terrible itching, biting. So thought maybe bed bugs. Threw away furniture, mattress, anything porous. Moved 3 times. Not able to get rid of them and contacting the health department (with no helpful response) knew that I was on my own pretty much to find a cure (or now just controlling the symptoms of itching sting, etc). I used to have 1 good day out of the week of very minimal sensation, but as another year passed NO MORE good days at all. Every day is a fight, and shower/bath time is when they get really frantic and are buzzing, jumping everywhere. They live in your clothes, ESPECIALLY cotton like material. The worst to wear if you’re trying to get rid of these things. They seem to be able to stand massive amounts of heat, able to swim/hold their breath and I’ve noticed when trying to wash “the black specks” down the drain, they have the power to lock on/hold on to any surface without being disturbed by running/flowing water. You actually have to use a sponge, wash cloth to move them. So imagine what advantage they have living on one’s skin. SIGH! I’ve learned to control the itching by using colloidal oatmeal, tea tree oil or mineral oil in my bath water with a capful (or two) of bleach. I am trying a detox, but I’ve done a detox before and no results. These bugs DO appear to look like (as someone else described on this website) a worm shaped bug with two prongs (the popping you hear is them springing off the walls, the back of your head or neck) and then some have a stinger on the end (in which is them burrowing into your skin). They love to get right into the opening of the ear as well. Someone else said that nobody talks about the symptoms. Probably because a majority keeps calling this “bug” Morgellon’s. These bugs behave sort of behave (and look sort of) like springtails (but springtails don’t bite). The majority of the bugs live on the back of the body (neck, back, torso area) then soles of feet between the webs of the fingers (and in the private areas unfortunately). Someone also mentioned shaking. I’ve had that experience when I am lying down flat and they seem to shake. In the bathtub I’ve noticed it seems they are excellent swimmers (I believe they breath through their bodies and can hold their breath for hours on end) and also will buzz over your head. AS SOON AS you get out of the tub/shower to dry off, they jump right back on. I have also experienced a dizzy sensation at times, like they are swarming around me very fast, especially when I bend over to tie my shoe or touch my feet. They favor the back of the body - arms, elbows, neck (for me mainly my left side) and left shoulder blade (they really burrow and sting in that area for some reason). TERRIBLE!!!! Steaming, bleach, borax, kleen green helps but does NOT get rid of them. I believe it depends on one’s ability to fight part of the fight with immune system. I live in a house with 3 other people (for over 4 years) and NOBODY else is affected at all. Unfortunately again Morgellon’s cannot be to blame. I’d be more convinced if these bugs were NOT able to be seen, BUT YOU CAN SEE THEM…faintly but they are there. Unfortunately no real cure. Keflex, Ivermectin, antibiotics works to a degree, diatomaceous earth, BUT AGAIN strongly dependents on how powerful your immune system is. Psychologically it is draining emotionally and discouraging there is no cure. I’ve cut my hair even shorter, which seemed to really piss them off and they seem to multiple even faster (especially if I add a different cleaning regimen to my routine, or switch up bath/shower products to try and combat them. They just seem to know and they work in a unit. If I am swatting up near my head, I’ll occasionally feel a sting on the bottom of my feet or elsewhere. Yes, shaking, swinging sensation (that periodically throws off my balance) and even what feels like spinning (as if they attach themselves with some sort of web like material to stay connected to your body and then dig deep into your pores). And the worst of all symptoms is what feels like an electrical charge (like I stuck my finger in a light socket).

       - I got rid of them. they are bugs, not bacteria or mold. You need to buy a boatload of large nuvan pest strips, hang them everywhere in your house and move out for over a month. take nothing with you when you go. when you return discard all pest strips and air out your home or apartment thoroughly. For the body take cephalexin for ten days. It is an antibiotic. they feed off of bacteria and this drug will kill the bacteria. it works. there is hope. I threw out almost all fabric, clothing, rugs, furniture during the seige. But I kept some linens in vacuum sealed bags with pest strips and/or moth balls in them. Three years later I took one bag outside and opened it. There were thousands of dead bugs visible in the sheets. They fly, so they had not been visible when they were alive. you are not crazy. these bugs came from china five years ago - on almost everything they sell to the US. they attack people.

229. THE SHORT ANSWER: TREATMENTS I HAVE FOUND INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE
     (THIS SHOULD IN NO WAY BE CONSIDERED MEDICAL ADVICE, ONLY SOMETHING THAT WORKED FOR ME!)

     1. Over-the-counter Lamisil cream applied to skin. (Antifungal creams containing other ingredients did not work for
     me, but might for you.) I saw almost immediate results.
     2. Combination of T-Gel and Selsun Blue, applied to skin and left overnight, as well as used as a shampoo
     and body wash. (Must be one shampoo containing tar combined with one containing selenium sulfide, per a
     doctor’s advice.) I mix them on a 1:1 basis and always use a clean utensil or pour the mixture onto my hands
     to avoid contamination. I tried this before the Lamisil and the improvement was incredible.
     3. Erno Lazlo’s Splash Technique. Using a clean basin or running water, splash your face with the
     warmest water you can comfortably tolerate 20 to 60 times after washing.The splashing effect helps
     the water penetrate and I have found it extremely effective at reducing biofilm and brightening skin.
     You can do an Internet search for more details on the practice.

     *If you still have medical insurance and a doctor who will consider it based on your current condition,
     a prescription for oral Lamisil may help. Lamisil is an extremely effective antifungal; however, it has the potential
     for very serious side effects, particularly if treatment is not properly monitored. You should discuss the possible
     risks with your doctor in detail. This was prescribed for a family member with small areas of tinea versicolor
     (depigmentation caused by a certain fungus) and the results were dramatic.

     THE LONG ANSWER: WHY I BELIEVE THIS WORKED

     I believe these infectious agents continue to survive in our systems and on our skin as a result of biofilm formation. Essentially, biofilm is like a fortress comprised of various germs, bacteria, fungi, etc. Bonding together allows them to strengthen their defenses to the point they are up to 98% more effective at eluding oral and topical medication and mechanical threats, such as scrubbing, exfoliating, etc. I think the fungi are the “glue” that holds it all together. The late, incredibly brilliant, Dr. Bob Costas is considered the father of biofilm: check out the YouTube video in which he explains how he made the discovery and the very serious implications biofilm has on health. (It has even been found on teeth.) The entire paradigm for treating infection could shift based on his findings.

     I believe a major key to disrupting the biofilm is controlling what are considered “harmless” yeast and fungal infections. They provide both food and shelter for a huge number of organisms and essentially create a kind of “hot tub party” for bacteria, fungi and parasites (including Dictyostelium discoideum, an underacknowledged emerging pathogen). Despite what doctors try to tell you, you do NOT have to have “female symptoms” or oral thrush to have a systemic overgrowth. Simply consuming too much refined sugar and starch can set the tone, and we are surrounded by fungi in the environment and even in our foods. Far more women suffer from the problem, quite possibly because they wear moisturizer and hand cream, which can allow for the growth of organisms on the skin. Also, men shave their faces on a regular basis, which I personally believe can help control or prevent biofilm buildup. This buildup looks just like normal skin other than some dullness, grayish tint or mottled discoloration (due to tinea versicolor, M. furfur and other fungi).

     I have suffered from this problem for several years and have tried EVERYTHING. I, too, have been ignored, and even ridiculed by physicians who would not listen or make any attempt to understand. I have also seen some good physicians who simply confessed to me that they had not the slightest idea how to treat the problem nor the time to research it. The topical Lamisil, along with the shampoo and splash treatments have given me more relief than anything else I have tried and has hopefully broken the vicious biofilm cycle, leaving the whole motley crew vulnerable. I have also severely limited my intake of simple carbohydrates and anything containing any form of corn, which is almost certainly genetically modified. I am also using prayer (talking to God) and meditation (listening to God) to help deal with the devastating emotional effects this has had. I believe depression and despair further dampen the immune system and lead to poor food choices, further feeding this destructive cycle. It took 400 years for rickets to be discovered, rediscovered and accepted. One day doctors will open their eyes and others won’t have to suffer the stigma and dismissive treatment.

     - I believe there might be merit to this as fungal infections are permeating every living thing now as a result of terra-forming the Earth being done by geoengineering aka “chemtrails.” The heavy metal toxicity that all living things are experiencing now have thrown off the natural balance of bacteria which has resulted in the overgrowth of fungi. In addition to this it is a well-known fact that the aerosol sprays we are being inundated with daily also contain genetically-modified insects that are next to impossible to eradicate. Please do your research if you do not at first understand this. A good place to start is http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org.

     - OMG! I am going to try this. I have suffered from this for a year now and have ALSO tried EVERYTHING. I have A LOT of them in spite of what I’ve done. I’m seeing the small white cotton ball masses, dark black specks AND the creepiest thing out of the corner of my eye tiny white bugs jumping around. I cannot directly see them, but in dim lighting I can see them hurling around AND a huge black bug that seems to emit an electrical charge. SO UNCOMFORTABLE!! I think I read here on another post the same finding. The most bizarre and (depressing) thing I’ve EVER dealt with, but I hope soon things get better. I DO NOT want to see another dermatologist’s face looking at me like I’m nuts and begins to weight on you psychologically AND one does start to think/ “maybe I AM delusional” like the dermatologist said. I was referred to the psych department. I did get rid of throw rugs (could see them popping all around on the rug) and a chair (in which I believe they’d totally taken over). I USED TO have huge bites, but have learned now to control them with warm baths and my “special mix”. I’ve found that oatmeal baths sooth the skin (from itching along with tea tree oil) so I don’t itch much. I still get from time to time linear deep scratches (from them holding on for dear life in the shower). My skin has ALWAYS been so smooth. The scars have left DEEP marks even when using cocoa butter. This is a good site. It helps others dealing with the same thing to get support, ideas, etc. We all KNOW we have something invading our bodies and UNTIL there is a cure and docs catch up!!!!….there is support and compassion on this website. DON’T GIVE UP GUYS!

       - My family thinks I’ve gone crazy! Before I can even stand up against the counter in the kitchen. I have to spray windex all the way around it! I then put shoes and socks on and make sure my legs are covered. Never do I go barefoot unless I’m outside(I’m safe outside !)this is just to cook in my kitchen. I can’t sit on the couch with legs dangling.I either put them up on a chair or the couch. My couch is leather but i have to coverr it with a sheet befoe sitting. Im itching now!I have a picture that no one can identify of something under my bed and dressor that appears to be some type of living home for something!This same thing applies to every room in the house. If I go outside no problem! I can go shopping anywhere but Walmart. My daughter said I had tiny bugs flying around my head. She saw them!! I recently went to Florida to visit family and the 5th night as I stood in the kitchen I realized I hadn’t been bothered by anything nipping at my ankles.my mother told me she had experienced the same thing at other peoples homes she had visited.I eat a lot of candy and chocolate. Wondering if theses tiny biting mysteries are attracted to the sugar in me !my house was built in 1972 its old and moist and smelly and I hate it! This has been going on since I had a gnat problem 3 years ago. That’s when I noticed Walmart and all the gnats they have. Could I havebrought them home. I can’t go there for very long because they are 4 times worse there I wish this was a crazy problem and not a itching one. I’d take crazy over itching any time!

     - wow! This was written 3 years ago I know that Biofilm that you speak of. They put them over all our teeth. They must have and then they et the insiferAlso after a gi Two years ago my teeth were perfect but
       my little friends that switch once a week become a little smarter Look on your wall. With oil paint it seems to have bubbles that open up when it starts to get dark. They are nocturnal I’m not going to say too much because the unbelievers are so irritating! You want to go up ad give him or her a big hug. Or bring over some of your clothes to have them try them on . Don’t forget the hat.! Bunch swarm together. They spin like a top with the opening that looks like energy Some can flick their eyes shiney at you. I suppose some people get scared but I think it’s kinda cool. I ALWAYS laugh when that happens, they I will clap my hands like children do. I believe they have have all ages. I can see them sometimes but mostly in the dark. All of the videos that I made (almost all- 95%) just disappeared.
       How are you>? I’ve lost 18 inches of hair and no signs of stopping. My latest is my neck is very stiff and painful on the sides up to my ears. My face looks deformed. It sinks in at the temple. I also have a brain tumor in the pituitary glands. I keep jerking for no reason. My husband says at night it’s even worse Just like you, the physician won’t give me more than 30 seconds ./ My headaches come on very quickly. They are all ove . I’m sure they are in my brain.

230. I believe Emma Sullivan is onto something, doctors ignore this, even the orkin site makes 0 mention of demodectic mites, yet if you have a candida issue, unclean skin, or auto-immune issue, demodectic or bird mites can survive on your body.

     The Chinese have actually accepted demodectic mites as the cause of over 90% of acne. Theres sites like demodexcontrol.com as well that fixate specifically on a particular mite that doctors know nothing of, and only a few vets realize how flagrant the issue can be, let alone that they’ve recently discovered the demodex gatoi species, which is apparently, several times more difficult to find than any previous version. By the time you bring any kind of physical evidence of it to someone, its likely balled itself into a dirt-like shard and died. They cause most acne, even on adults, can cause cuts and scars on the skin, and can get in your mouth and cause gum and throat infections.

     I had a skin poking, itchy, buzzing sensation at my old residence with a friend, he still doesnt believe me, we were in separate floors of an EXTREMELY old house, very near cornfields. It felt like after letting go of a lawnmower after holding it for 20 minutes at best, and like constant acupuncture at its worst. and came on slowly and progressively.

     After over a month, I managed to get a prescription for a permethrin ointment that I left on for 12 hours and completely killed the problem in one day.
     By luck I had a strand of hair that looked like a bit of beard hair protruding from my finger to show as proof to a private clinic doctor, as the public hospital doctor sent his nurse in to call me a liar, because I had no evidence on my skin.

     Before the premethrin prescription I Tried:
     1. skin oils (no effect)
     2. tar shampoos (no effect)
     3. anti-lice shampoos (no effect)
     4. various kinds of soaps and washes, and even a bit of watered down permethrin (all after the infection became severe, to no effect)
     5. permethrin sprayed the whole floor down top to bottom
     6. combining neem’s oil, baby oil, diatomaceous earth, and epson salt and leaving it on after a shower (large reduction of infection)
     7. completely leaving my old home, packing everything in garbage bags and plastic tubs dousing all my possessions down with permethrin and pouring diatomaceous earth in then sealing them all up for a week (functional, after the permethrin ointment cured me, and using the neem’s oil/diatomite/epson salt/baby’s oil mix to prevent re-contamination while i cleared out)

     I moved away, had a new life, had a significant other, and a pet cat. Didn’t have any problems. That is, until i returned to my previous city/residence for my fiancees sister’s birthday. I caught the problem again, I came back and it followed me to my new home, my fiancee left me, and isn’t sure if she believes I’m suffering what I have. My father had died of a severe auto-immune disease and I’m not in any position to doubt I have some minor one myself.

     Not sure how to handle it this time, I don’t have the funding I had before, I’m not in great physical shape, and I live in an RV that cannot be fully sealed and birds frequent the roof of the vehicle. Worse yet, I also have a pet cat now and she and i cross-infect eachother on a daily basis, ivermectin on the cat is keeping the mite bite from becoming acupuncture, but I get the lawnmower buzz almost immediately from touching her.

     What I’m trying now with limited funds.
     1. diatomaceous earth across the floors, (helps reduce, doesnt seem to eliminate)
     2. rare spray of permethrin in the bedroom/bed after waking up and leaving the room closed with the window open (temporary fix)
     3. cold water showers, NO hot water (mild effect)
     4. sulfur and tar soaps (mild effect)
     5. alternating tar and permethrin pet shampoo (mild effect)
     6. cleaning my skin with rubbing alcohol from a spray bottle, or a dampened paper towel when I feel the issue.(temporary fix) (don’t even bother with hydrogen peroxide it doesn’t effect these mites at all, seems to just piss them off)
     7. mixing diatomaceous earth in with my pet’s litter (temporary fix)
     8. attempted to use lysol to clean home, (functional to kill surfaces temporarily, but doesn’t have a lasting effect)
     9. ivermectin on my pet (reduction but not elimination, prevents acupuncture and cut level growth)
     10. attempted to make my own permethrin/coconut oil mixture similar to the prescription grade stuff (functional but not as good as prescribed version, also re-contaminated quite quickly by the cat.

     I’ve kept it from getting to the point of feeling skin acupuncture, I get random acne that appears spontaneously, I feel them on my eyelashes, and lips after my cats been on me for awhile. Thankfully for almost 6 months only once has a demonic-like bloody scratch appeared on my skin. It was horrible at my last residence I had several lines of blood appearing on my skin as three scratches appeared in front of my eyes simultanously, as if etching in a roman numeral III on my arm then after only a month (with no interaction, I watched in awe, and rubbed against the direction it was going praying to god and it stopped in its tracks.)

     The issue won’t go away and I only have a few potential fixes remaining and barely the funds to survive before I’m homeless, which are:
     Several cans of lysol and a complete cleaning of my home. Having another prescription of the permethrin ointment filled if I can manage the funds, a prescription grade sulfur/lime dip for the pet, if I can manage it out of the vet or online, and spraying the whole outside of my home with a clorox solution in case of mold/fungal issues.

     I guess if any of this information could be useful to anyone out there, I hope something I’ve found along the way might be useful to someone else out there, but as well I hope the industries out there, (veterinary/medical/pest control) wake the $@% up and realize it might not seem like its there to some people, but our crappy processed food industry, the pesticides, and air chemical sprays, are likely making some of us considerably more susceptible as a food source to an incredibly obnoxious and nearly indomitable mite, because people refuse to accept it exists.

     A river parasite in Africa can swim up a stream of pee and get inside of your body. But a microscopic mite causing acne, scratches and skin irritation must be so unbelievable compared to that.

     - I use “OdoBan”Disinfectant ,it’s like lysol,,says it kills 99.99% of germs.I soak my clothes in the washer over night with soaps which contain enzymes, the buggers hate enzymes.I have tried using bug sprays and I swear they feed on the stuff and grow exponentially.They also hate 90% alcohol and Windex and try to keep the humidity in your house to under 40% preferably 30%.

231. OMG, I can’t believe you mentioned Walmart and gnats! Two years ago I bought a plant at Walmart and within two weeks my house was full of hundreds of gnats flying around. By the time I realized the plant was the source of the problem and threw it away, my house was infested with those tiny black bugs and i’ve been fighting them ever since. Two years and thousands of dollars later, I’m using salt, vinegar, and rubbing alcohol to keep them down, but they just NEVER go away.

232. I’ve been having problems with tiny bugs flying around in circles, also crawling and biting me for the last two months/ I’ve tried everything to ge rid of these very tiny insects but I still haven’t found a solution ad I really need help. I’ve searched and searched trying to find information from people that have dealt with a similar situations with no success until last night when stumbled onto this place and read Doug’s post. I’ve visited many blogs and forums and read many shared experiences from people, but first let me add that life has been hell for me lately. I’ve been treated for scabies twice in 2 months. Friends and family member that I’ve shared my situation with were very quick to assume that I am now nuts, which has made me a very bitter person because they owe me a lot more trust and loyalty than what they have shown me. Evey thing and anything they needed me to do I’ve done it. So I’ve been searching anything I could possibly think of on the matter and all the stories I’ve come across sound the SAME! “I was infested……and here’s how you get rid of them.” No one really shares what the symptoms were or the insects behavior, which made it very frustrating for me to narrow down the type of infestation I was having. I couldn’t find any similar situation online and it got me to thinking that maybe my family members were right all along. Maybe it is all in my head, and I’m no longer playing with a full deck of cards? What really scares me is, if these insects are all in my head and just a hallucination, then I must be f*cking psychotic because when they crawl on me it feels real! When they bite me it feels real, and leaves small cuts. When I try to record them on a webcam, I can zoom in only so much before distortion. But you could clearly hear them flying and whipping around my head. To make a long story short, I read Doug’s post and he hit it right on the nail. I finally found someone that is dealing with a very similar problem. He just used different words to describe them For example

     “They all flick themselves at me” -Doug
     “if i go in a room or sit down where they are present they fly at me all the time ” - Doug
     I wouldn’t say they fly at me, they pretty much shoot at me like someone throwing salt on me.

     “my pants get really tight around my legs and i can see them moving very slightly.” -Doug
     Usually when I’m wearing sweats, the area around my calf and inner thigh slowly start sucking in until it feels like a syringe is being stuck in me.

     “my son has said several time dad did you hear that? and i said what he said like a snake hissing” -Doug
     I hear something similar . A weird buzzing hiss.

     i can see these things little white or silver flakes in my clothes in my bed they like electricity.- Doug
     When I go through my laundry, new or dirty, it feels like static and leaves a prickly feeling on my fingers

     “For years”- Doug
     I dunno if I can handle years of these things. It feels like they are from satan. I get nervous just going to the urinal because them. Somebody, and body I’m begging please, my doctor referred me to a Dermatologist that is booked until mid September……….LOL oh God what did I do to deserve this

     - Rob, you ARE NOT nuts. I have the same “pestilence”. It is aggravating and very grieving (stressful) that dermatologists cannot catch up with regards to this mystery bug that is affecting a LOT of people. These bugs DO flick themselves at you. They are real. The silver/white bugs are real (in my hair mostly) then black specks I see all the time especially in the shower/bathwater. They are hard to see, but I can see them, especially in dim light & the popping sound off walls/mirrors drives me nuts (the bigger ones). They seem to have favorite spots they attack on my body (hands, back of legs, neck..aaagh!!!!) DO NOT swat. If you swat there will be hell to pay (they omit an electrical stinging type of sensation that is REALLY uncomfortable and in dim lighting you can actually see them light up if they get aggravated or feel threatened in any way). The symptoms are…yes…weird. At times I also get this swinging sensation on my body (back) as if they are spinning a web like a spider or something and/or swarm around you so fast they offset my balance a bit…again weird. They sort of behave like gnats, but seem to have stingers on them and can move really really fast. The linear scars and round bites (mainly if I swat) are visible and have left several marks on my body after healing…terrible. I’ve also tried EVERYTHING (Ivermetin, 91% alcohol, changing my diet, eliminating sugar, getting my vitamin D levels up taking a vitamin D supplement, permithren crème - a gazillion tubes, hot showers, cold showers, tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil, neem oil, oatmeal baths, etc.). The only thing that gives me comfort is to bathe/shower 2-3x a day, add a bit of tea tree oil in my bath water, oatmeal baths to keep my skin from itching, hydrocortisone, triamcinolone creme (it’s a fungus creme) keep my linen clean, vacuuming & mop every single day (you need a good vacuum with powerful suction & use a spray bottle of alcohol when vacuuming). Bag up closet clothes/clean linen and only leave out what you are going to use. I’ve spent literally thousands and thousands of dollars behind this problem. It is SO stressful to deal with this problem and I am SO uncomfortable, it is maddening most days. I stopped going to the dermatologist (8 appointments with no results and the dermatologist is looking at me like I’m nuts).

       - Lol, Yes I totally agree. Never swat at them or show any sign of aggressions, which after awhile becomes impossible. I had a pretty decent meltdown this morning and started cursing and swatting at them in the bathroom. It’s 1am right now and they are just kicking my ass non stop…….I have to remember next time not to swat or throw anything .

         Posted by Rob | June 25, 2015, 2:00 am

     - Rob - Your comment really struck home with me. I have been experiencing things that sound very similar to some of what you describe. The “things” I SEE and FEEL (on my skin) have done the same to me with regards to thinking that maybe i am not playing with a full deck as well. But you see I am. I do have a full deck and I am an educated, logical person. I feel I have to weigh all the possibilities when trying to figure this thing out. I also feel disappointed in family and friends because they were quick to dismiss my “dilema” as she’s just “nuts”. I understand them saying that because with the things that happen - IT IS BIZARRE. I question myself. But I experience #1 The thing with the pants and them getting sucked in towards your body and slightly moving. Feels a bit like a static electricity. Things will like puff up and/or get sucked in. I see/feel it in my clothing but also see it in everyday things like blankets, pillows, etc. On my body it is often my calf area. #2 I have the white/silver/pale yellow flakes on my skin and in my hair. #3 Whatever it is, it seems to have SOMETHING to do with electricity. I often see cords in my household moving slightly. Almost like i would imagine “excess electricy” on the cord. I have appliances that will just quit working and I need to unplug them from the wall for a while to get them to work again.
       #4 When I try to record on a video camera, I will get distortion when i get up close on the item. Not always, but when I think “it” is being active, its almost like it will distort the area right there. Does that make sense. It will distort for a brief period and then will clear itself up. And no, it not just the camera focusing. #5 I hear strange noises in my house but attribute it to the “sucking” and “expanding” of many things around me. The wood trim in the house seems to (through time) get “off” slightly. Doors, etc. don’t line up anymore. Ceilings seems to breathe. Anyways, this creates a lot of house sounds. I don’t know if I am making sense to anyone. I have put off actually writing some of this stuff down because it F-ing sounds so crazy and is hard to describe. I empathize with your comment that it feels like they are from Satan. I have had that thought. I choose not to believe that. I DONT want to think that way. This really only touches the surface, but i can only spit out concentration of this for short periods of time. I hope this comment finds you and hope to hear back from you. (or anyone who feels similar. . . please.) Thanks.

       - I know exactly what you’re talking about because I witness it everyday and every night which makes me not want to live in my own house anymore. I hear clicking, ticking, and other noises like little bugs flying into the walls, and I’m constantly feeling the weird clothes contracting like they’re energized by electricity. I’m also constantly seeing these clear floating fibers that are mobile even whenever there isn’t any wind, or draft in my house. So, it’s very obvious that something isn’t right about this situation and I’m eventually going to have to move out of my house because it’s not going to stop.

         Posted by staypuft96 | October 21, 2015, 9:15 am

       - I have had this for about 18 months. Yes, it feels terrible and it’s emotionally disturbing/draining. I also felt like I was going nuts and questioned by psyche. To actually talk about the symptoms that one is feeling suffering from this makes you paranoid to discuss it and second guess your sanity. It took me a while to come to terms with I AM ACTUALLY seeing these things. I have had A LOT of (downtime - depression) to analyze, observe these bugs. These bugs ARE attracted to electricity. If I am in the bathroom brushing my teeth it seems as if the lights will dim/flicker as if they do a “fly by” to re-energize and then attack (these must be ionically charged). I can’t see these things What is being heard popping off the walls is a worm like looking bug with a lot of legs about the size of a grain of rice or can get bigger. They use surfaces such as my water bottle, the mirror, walls to pop off and spring from one point to another. The contracting that is being felt (I noticed) is (unfortunately) when I am in the shower, they spring into the stream of the water and spray some hot liquid type of substance (so you can’t wash them off) and then the even smaller ones (that look like fibers/white lint particles gather in that sticky slime to hold on (thus the tightness/contracting is them holding on for dear life. I can see a big one hopping from one place to another, mainly over my head diving back and forth popping off the walls and is when I feel my face, lips, ears, elbows, palms, and my neck tingling…in what I believe depositing something (I believe newborns (Oh God!!!). The more you swat, the more they produce. And then there’s the gnat feeling ones. I’ve also seen these washing out of my hair and down the drain. They are very, very tiny black dots with what appears to be a small stinger on the end. They mainly buzz around the head, ears (in which I constantly hear this high pitch humming in my ear constantly) hands, elbows, fingers. Whatever area is being swatted on your body, the others concentrate there (especially if I am washing my hands) and burrow under the skin into the pores so you can’t wash them off. That is how VERY SMALL the gnat ones are and it feels when I am walking (in the wind) that they are hooked in my skin dangling. The dermatologist states that I have Morgellons. I don’t think so…there IS Morgellons AND THEN THERE’S THIS. I used to itch like crazy (my back mainly) from the stings/bites (which are actual round holes, long linear scars that look like scratches) until I had to go through trial and error to figure out what over the counter products would make me somewhat comfortable. Essential oils help to somewhat smother them (in your pores). I can’t use 100% tea tree oil (too strong) but I found a tea tree oil mixed with other oils at Walmart that I put on my washcloth in the shower with oatmeal soap or I use sulfur soap. I also use lots of 99 cent store oatmeal baths. I open 2-3 packages and cake it on while I’m washing one part of the body I cake it on another area (because you wash one area, they just jump of and relocate on your body. Washing twice a day is a must. Do NOT wear the same clothes twice OR use a towel more than once because when you dry off if you look very closely some do get caught in the towel. Any clothing not being used MUST BE put in plastic bags and sealed tightly. Use a mattress allergen cover/pillow case and wash clothes in hot/hot water (if possible). Also I use a capful of bleach in my water or 91% alcohol in a spray bottle on my sheets before bed OR I steam everything down before my skin touches it. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Sarna lotion is ok but I found that once again essential oils mixed in with 1% hydrocortisone helps relieve itching. I also use triamcinolone creme (antifungal prescription) and that helps me not to itch at all. My skin actually looks pretty good now. Went to the dermatologist last week (why I don’t know…was hoping for a miracle) but when he looked at how good my skin is, of course I got the stinky eye/your crazy look. Some products work for some people/home remedies and not for others. Since it appears that dermatologists cannot figure this out, you have to find what is best for you. This website also helps to discuss your emotions/symptoms and share remedies that may help others. Hopes this helps someone

233. In my opinion everybody, (body being the point here) needs a good detox numerous times throughout their lives due to the things our bodies absorb throughout our lives through what we are eating, drinking, being outside, inside, insecticides, pesticides etc etc, (you get the drift) the chemical factor around us is getting stronger over time of course as technology grows and as the pollutants from industry around the world reach our shores and therefore enter our bodies and agriculture.

     If there are indeed bugs and mites or whatever attacking our bodies, I believe it is because of the reasons listed above. It’s because of what is in our bodies, so if we expel the cause, the remedy will follow.

     I used coconut charcoal (available from all good health food, organic shops etc etc). This is what hospitals use when people overdose on drugs and alcohol as it sucks all the toxins from the body over a quick period of time.
     It worked for me.
     In my opinion “The Bugman” gives the correct breakdown in his reply at the beginning of this page.

     This is only my opinion and whatever you decide to put in to your bodies should be done after consulting with your doctor. ALWAYS.

234. In my opinion, everybody, (Body being the point) needs a good detox numerous times throughout their lives. The chemicals we are ingesting through our foods, drinks, insecticides, pesticides (which are in our foods, in the air) etc etc causes this. It’s just getting worse.

     If there are indeed mites and bugs, it is because they are attracted to our bodies due to our bodies giving off something to combat all the chemicals inside us, which these bugs and mites like. (get my drift)?

     For example, the industry that happens in….Asia for example, affects us as well, it reaches our shores, our animals ingest it, our agriculture breathes it and therefore, it ends up in our bodies as well. (we breathe it in every moment of every day)
     The Bugman in my opinion is 100% correct with his diagnosis.

     Anyway, I used coconut charcoal, it is what hospitals use when a drug overdose is admitted as it sucks all the toxins from the body very quickly.
     Whatever you put in to your bodies should always be done with your doctors consent first, don’t take my word for it, this is only my opinion, through research and experience.

     - I know it is black mold. I had it tested and paid for it cuz my landlord’s maintenance guy said it was just dirt. But when I proved it the did a shabby job removing it. And only in one place. It’s everywhere. I can’t move cuz I have a lease and I was overly exposed to it on the provides apartment I lived in & I broke that lease and now they screwed my credit up & I can’t get anyone to rent to me, especially if I try to break this lease too they think I’m crazy. I can barely stand in my kitchen, I de contaminate my bedroom the best I can but I still feel it. MY kids don’t feel it as much anymore or they don’t tell me, but when I feel it sp badly and can barely stand still, I know it’s all over them too. Is that dangerous? I’m going nuts. I’ve had4 attorneys rip me off and do nothing but cause me more debt. I just wanna die. I am literally going insane.

       - I was able to find a very small white adult type wormlike entity. I managed to get a photo of it in 3 different aspects. I’m 98% sure this is the culprit and why it cannot be seen and only felt in it’s beginning stAges. It leaves small pustules or crater type bites which look like black scabs. When pulled off the skin you or dog bleed. It is not intestinal parasites as those die as soon as they hit the air. The one I was able to catch is approximately 1/8 in in length has groove type lines across the top of the body and has 2 antennae type graspers for lack of better word at one end and appears to have a mouth on each end one larger than the other I think this is a stage of transformation as it is larvae like in appearance it does look like there are legs forming on both sides although it’s so small it’s hard to tell even with the magnifying glass I am using and used to snap photo. I personally have been going through hell with these alien things for the last almost 5 yrs. I’ve been trying to catch something I could try to identify for about the last 3 these photos came out very good and I’m disappointed there is no way to upload the 3 photos I’ve managed to take. I have the culprit in a glass ashtray and covered with glad wrap it is not moving so I don’t know if it’s dead or in a state metamorphosis. Anyone who can identify what this is or wants to compare what they have found may email me for photos at jodigirls48@msn.com. Off this thing doesn’t evaporate I will try to get identified but at this point I have spent all my savings on spraying constantly. The little black dots are either eggs or excrement and the larva will decrease using citrus orange oil or any peppermint type spray. I have recently discovered. Hopefully I can get some $$ together or find an exterminator who will be kind enough to identify for free. Or maybe someone in this site can identify by the photos. Hoping. Bless all going through this it is a real test of our patience endurance and fortitude.

       - I am responding to the article about the dogs itching so badly even after thier bath. My dog is in misery. About 2 years ago I got a bad rash on my chest it cleared up and traveled to my tailbone area then back to my chest. It was like bug bites but idk where they came from. I wrote about this on this website at the time. I took bleach baths ( which made me sick) I washed with dog flea shampoo . I tried oils and everything. Finally apple cider vinegar helped clear it up. Well all the while I was finding these black specks everywhere. On my sheets in the pockets of my jeans inside and out. I never found out what this is. My dog recently had a huge black scab on her tail. Also she has a pustule on her chest. I picked the scab off and took pics with my iPhone to try to blow it up. It’s disgusting but doesn’t look like a worm. I also have these big rash type areas on the back of my legs around my waistline and in the crease of my buttocks. It’s very itchy but not like the bites I had. The doctor thinks it’s jock itch but that medicine just stops the itching for a short time. It’s growing more and more. I thought it was plaque phsiriosis . Any help or info on anyone with similar experiences please PLEASE send me an explanation or cure. My email is Lucy101177@gmail.com

237. Have any of you considered detoxing your bodies instead of your homes? That’s where I started and it ended right there.

       - Hi Rob, I initially used epsom salts in a glass of water. I bought epsom salts from a pharmacy here in Australia, so they were classified as ok to consume. I put a tablespoon each night into a glass of water before bed. It gives you diarrhea the next morning but a few days of it worked for me, but now that i know about Coconut charcoal (I bought mine from a health food store) I would recommend that. Just a teaspoon in a glass of water each day. U need to brush after tho as it blackens your teeth but comes off when u brush. That is the best detox in my opinion but always consult a doctor before taking it. But my doctor questioned why i was taking it but he didn’t understand what was happening to me. All the best Rob.

238. I posted here maybe a year ago. I had two years of torture that ended a year ago now. Beginning 3 years ago, I had a major black carpet beetle infestation. These were not ordinary domestic carpet beetles. They came into the US from China - on nearly every item. In a home goods store I saw them on every item of bed linen and in all of the rugs. They multiply at a furious rate. Adults have wings and hide out in light fixtures and near heat (stoves etc.) They lay eggs anywhere there is water - toilet tanks, sinks, inside coffee makers. larvae are black, eggs look like white rock salt and are literally indestructible due to a protective casing. Unlike normal carpet beetles these satanic things attack humans and lay eggs in mucous membranes - all of them. I will spare you the details on that. I was accused of being delusional by three doctors, then went to a parasitologist who at least did not insult my intelligence or my sanity. She said, “whatever it is, we do not classify it as a parasite and we don’t have a clue how to kill it.” I finally got taken seriously by an entomologist at nuvan in Atlanta. I moved out of my apartment for three months and saturated the place in pest strips. A few devils went with me in my luggage to my new temporary home, but I was able to keep them from gaining a foothold with a whole lot of bleach. When I returned they were all dead. I got a vacuum cleaner with a hepa filter and kept on with assiduous cleaning to get rid of any remaining eggs. I have some sheets I have kept in vacuum bags for the last three years. I took one of those bags outside last week and opened it. There were thousands of dead bugs in that bag. They are small but not microscopic, and larva just look like black dots. I am so sensitive to these things that back three years ago when they were in every store in the US, if I even walked past the sock rack in a drug store (all cheap socks are made in China) I felt things move on my body. The eggs will not hatch unless there is high humidity and an adult signals them to hatch. Similarly the larvae only move around when signaled by an adult. That is why you might notice that you feel things moving on you while you are washing dishes over hot, steamy water. As for my body, I was given a scrip for the antibiotic cephalexin for another illness. That killed them off . Like many parasites they seem to have a symbiotic relationship with a bacteria and need it as a food source. So killing the bacteria killed the bug. I hope this is helpful for readers here. For me the nightmare is over, and I hope it will be for you as well. you can buy nuvan online.

239. What everyone is describing is documented by conscientious scientists that are trying to help people understand what this is, and where it came from. Watch the video, then read the link. This was created as a disabling biowarfare virus, small (starting in 1980) and large scale trials ( Gulf War Syndrome) gave been performed on U.S. Civilians, and other populations. As for what the “new version” is, that has not been disclosed. But the underlying Visna virus (optimized to us through bovines) with mycoplasma parasite seems intact. GMO molds are playing a significant role for the last decade. There is no question as to why this is predominantly being expressed in females, especially over 30 years if age.
     Please watch the the video below, then read the article linked. These will give you the background to our dilemma. The medical community will give you various diagnosis’s, but no real help. Nature’s answers can bring quality back, especially lots if raw garlic (you will herx). NT Replacement therapy is essential. Add in as many Organic natural antibiotic/antifungals as possible with the understanding that this is a marathon, not a sprint.

     - Billie,
       You are definitely not crazy!!!
       How long have you been dealing with this nightmare?
       The thing that eased my mind the most, wasn’t knowing it was real, I KNEW IT WAS, (but like you, I sometimes had doubts). But what made me finally able to breath, was knowing what it was. I HAD TO KNOW!! So, when I finally did know, I was enabled with the power to control it a bit better. The ultimate control, is to have no mold growing in your home. I rent so I don’t have too mich control over it. I’m now waiting until my lease is up in December. Some days are worse than others. This place is filled with mold everywhere. The micro toxins mess up my head, memory, energy levels ect… theses are not the same as the spores that attack my skin. Micro toxins are something that some molds produce, which are toxic, but have no easy way of recognizing. Each person can be affected differently. Mine are headaches, dizzinrss, memory loss, ear infections, hearing loss, urinary tract infections, loss of concentrate, inability to focus, eye sight problems, confusion, almost as if I were on drugs and completely spun out.

       One thing that r es ally alerted me to the problems, was when I would sit on my bed Id get a little tired, but if I would lean again the head board that rested on the wall, I would instantly pass out. When I’d come back to I would notice that I had lost 30 to 45 mins of the day sometimes longer. Once I woke up and couldn’t breath at all and I ran out s u de to get air. My friend took me to the hospital, and I had the early stages of enphasyma. My air ways were bloc J ed and my lungs expanded. And 2 weeks before everything was normal. Three weeks later back to normal again. I was told fiberosis,once. The pr ok vlem us Doctors don’t know what to do or how to test for it. The only people who have insurance to pay for the doctors that do are either discustingly rich and cam afford anything or the super poor, who get government aide and free health insurance, but they are not helped by being provided with the information to get proper care. Me my insurance wont pay for the doctor I need, without spending thousands of $$ with the wrong doctors first, who only say ” I don’t know”. And ultimately there’s not a doctor in my state that specializes in this. Most doctors here look at me like I am crazy, amor think I’m making this up, but really!! Who would fake this?!!? Bleach, helps I mix it 1/2 &1/2 w/water and spray it everywhere. Up your vitamin D intake.

       - I’ve been dealing with this since March. Everyone else said it was all in my head!!
         no longer leave my house because I’m too busy spraying everything. In March I thrown everything away. I’m like a crack head!! Keep on looking. I know that they are there… my marriage is falling apart he thinks I’m Losing my mind,or on drugs..I just wish this would go away for ever. Also has drove me to want to burn my house down.REALITY “I Don’t have it in ME”

       - I got rid of them by eating a teaspoon of minced garlic every night, and I chew it. If I don’t do that,they come back. I have become convinced that something in the environment is recognizing us as animals, probably because of GMO foods. I also think that this is why we had so many shark attacks this year-we are eating foods that have been altered using rat and fish genes, and this makes creatures that operate by smell mistake us for fish and rats. Also, I stopped eating out.

         Posted by Mom | August 10, 2015, 8:14 pm

       - Billie,
         OK a couple of questions…
         You said March I assume this year.
         Now, can you pin point a general area that it is the worst? Insist outside, kitchen, bedroom etc…
         Next if you feel it mostly inside the house, is it everywhere and worse in certain areas then others?.
         Example, me it was in one rental and got to an all time extreme when a neighbor got bedbugs, I had my place heat treated. Bad bad bad.me and both of my children were literally attacked. We had soars and cuts all over us. I still didn’t know what the heck it was I moved left EVER THING in that apartment. All brand new stuff less than a year old. I was under constant attack. Slept in my car w/kids, at friends home, but the stuff seemed to follow us but affected no one else, but us. Crazy…moved into a new place after 2 months of torture. This place too. The only safe place o could find was in the counter in the bathroom. I spent weeks there. Even through Christmas day.
         I don’t have much time right now, but try taking some vitamin D. I know it sounds stupid. But your vitamin D may be low. Mine was that’s why I felt it worse then my kids. They only occasionally feel it anymore, I still do dailey, but not as severe. I gotta go now . I’ll be looking fir you reply.

         Posted by Me'Shelle | August 10, 2015, 10:42 pm

       - I found out what you have. I could get how to make this go away!

245. I’m sorry, but those saying that it’s somehow a chemical phenomena of the brain’s perception or likewise are just plain wrong. I started experiencing this about a week ago after checking into a crappy motel on a roadtrip. I haven’t tried any of the “solutions” yet, but upon finding this info about it being reality or not, online, I decided to test it. I’ve got video of these things flying around, the white & reddish/orange pieces “jumping” & “popping”, & the small caterpillar/ worm things seemingly growing out of thin air on the rug. I’ve also got lots of still pics of the flying hair particles. The best way I’ve found to capture them is on a mirror where they don’t disappear & when zoomed in upon, it’s clearly discernible that they are indeed organisms somewhat akin to really elongated shrimp or prawn. To exclude as much bias from my potentially misperceiving brain as possible, I’ve had several friends & family members who’ve never heard of this, nor did I tell them, look at the material I’ve captured & everyone without exception has seen exactly what I’m describing as well. Don’t know what else to do with this, but I’m without doubt that it’s certainly happening in reality by a real organism & not just a weird condition of the brain.

     - Ron, I would agree, definitely NOT a chemical phenomenon AT ALL. These things ARE real, as I am clearly seeing them too (especially the white caterpillar looking ones-eeeeeekkk!!!!!). By far THE MOST miserable experience of my life!!! They are small, but I can see them. They’ve proven VERY HARD to get rid of. I got them in an old house i was renting. The house structure had cracks/holes in the closet ceiling and I started seeing things popping/jumping from the exposed wooden hole in the closet ceilings. By the time I decided to move, well….for those of us that can’t fight them off-they followed me. I’ve been to the dermatologist (6 of them). Nobody knows what to do. I keep getting the “you’re crazy” look and “if I can’t see them, then I can’t treat them” from the dermatologist BUT my M.D. was gracious enough to listen to me (all the while handing me a referral to the psychiatrist) AND a referral to rheumatology-I went and ha!!!! What interesting results. For everyone suffering from this pestilence out there, here are some things to check: vitamin D levels, eosinophils (which become active when you have certain allergic diseases, infections, and other medical conditions) neutrophils, platelets, lymphs. All of these were abnormal/high positive for me. Oh RH factor, check that level also. My hand joints ache. Yeah…sure! I’m being stung/bit and is where these bugs seem to congregate: hands, back of neck, back of arms, ears….so many ear bites outer ear. Once again misdiagnosed (polychondritis). No docs! Ear bites! Now when I go to the doctor, I as well have a blank stare thinking “bloodwork is positive in some areas, BUT wrong diagnosis doc”. So sad and depressing. I’ve ALWAYS been a healthy person - had a physical AND bloodwork and all came back totally normal shortly before this happened-no problems. Then got this pestilence 15 months ago and directly went to the doctor. Blood work came back abnormal in all the following categories above. Just 2 weeks ago had the SAME bloodwork. Same exact results, all the categories above came back abnormal. I KNOW this bug has everything to do with what is going on. So the rheumatologist keeps telling me I have some sort of “unknown” infection (more like an infestation I’d say). Yet again another disappointment all the while thinking “well, sure I do, BUT I KNOW what it is”. I thought I was going nuts for a while there. SUCH anxiety in the morning and evening times thinking of a strategy (I have NOT tried)…what to use to try and get rid of these bugs (tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil, hot soapy baths, cold showers, mineral oil, 91% alcohol, triamcinolone crème (antifungal prescribed crème) oatmeal baths, Epsom salt (in the bathwater AND orally to clean you out). NOTHING works…nothing has worked so far! And don’t spray bug spray…they get really mad and seem to attack and fling themselves at you even more so. DEET DOES NOT work. Spraying alcohol (91% mixed with bleach) helps somewhat, but the fumes! Not got for you either. Sigh…Also check your immune system. If it is not working properly then I am CERTAIN that the bugs cannot be fought off. I believe this ALSO HAS A GREAT DEAL to do with why these bugs are attracted to certain people-they can run a muck on your body with a weak immune system. THANK GOD for this site! Not crazy, but after all this is over, I JUST MIGHT need that psych referral 🙂

       - Many parasites have a symbiotic relationship with a bacterium. That was true of the ones that assaulted me for two years. I got them out of my body when I was given a course of cephalexin (an antibiotic) for another illness. Without the bacterium, the parasite was starved and died out. If your doc will not give you a scrip, go online and order it abroad. worth a shot. Almost all of us here have been sent to shrinks, because these bugs are not on their list of known parasites. Being accused of being nuts nearly drove me nuts. Don’t let the b*&ards get you down.

     - Jennifer do not despair! I have been there and still have some issues but I’ve gone from feeling like i am crawling with bugs to 90% better.

       These are mites that are attracted to us because of a fungus on / in our bodies and they seem to be introducing the mould / bacteria into our bodies too. I have found bird mites and thrips both of which live in bird’s nests - check there isn’t one near your house. Some are also finding collembola and bird mites I think they are the cause of what is driving people mad and they are burrowing under the skin.

       Follow Ted’s Advice on Earth clinic - borax and epsom salt baths with h202. Same in washing. Keep it on your skin, It may feel worse at first but persevere. You also need to treat your environment - diatomaceous earth on sheets too, baking powder puffed into hair really works (anti-fungal and explodes insects who eat it).

       Also follow an anti-candida diet and eat lots of garlic and detox. Within a week of the borax treatment you should see a massive improvement as it kills bugs and fungus. Good luck!!

       - I can send you some of a body wash I make that if you have what I had, it is a small fiber like a piece of fiberglass and also a small 1mm round black mite. Invisible under your skin, but when I wash with the scrub I make, they all pop to the surface where they are easily washed away. I suffered with this for 20 years, I never gave up even after everyone told me I was crazy, doctors tried to give me psych meds etc. If you want write to me at buggersoff@yahoo.com. and I will get you some of the scrub. You are not crazy there is something there, doctors think they know everything. They don’t.

249. I also have had this problem for about 8 months. I am a very strong woman… I’ve given birth twice, had my head through a windshield and glass picked from my face for 9 hours. But nothing has been as painful or problematic as these carpet beetles. I’ve lived in my home for 5 years and on the same street for 9 years and have never had these critters before. It’s my opinion that our ecosystem is changing due to recent government bans of certain pesticides. I have spent thousands of dollars in the last months on new flooring, exterminators, cleaning solution and doctors, creams and ointments. Not to mention have lost wages from the time spent managing this. My mother told my family about this and no one has come to my home since the spring or invited my kids to their homes out of uneducated fear. People have insinuated that I am having psychosis, asked if I was using drugs and one person threatened taking my children from me. I would never touch illicit drugs in my life! How could I be crazy when everything else in my life is normal except for this issue? I am successful, smart and talented and I know I am not just “seeing things”, nor could I create this rash out of thin air.

     - If it’s only happening in your house it may be mold spores. Moldy plants vents air conditioners etc grow nasty mold that gives off bugs…try cleaning thoroughly w regular vinegar, open up all windows and let some sun and wind in the house. Also throw away anything that may have mold on it chances are u r breathing in the mold and it causing your body to react. Hope that helps….

253. I’m a 35 year old male and I’ve been experiencing Morgellons like symptoms for about approximately 1 year and it’s getting worse by the day. It almost seems like there are gnats living underneath my skin especially my scalp and I can feel them moving which actually causes movement in hair follicles. Whenever I’m out walking I’m constantly swatting gnats and other f ok flying insects away from my face and out of my hair as it seems like they’re obsessed with trying to get under my skin. I’m a relatively clean individual and don’t understand how or why this is happening to me.

254. If the insects are under the skin, mix 1/2 teaspoon (DO NOT take excessive amounts) FOOD GRADE diatomaceous earth in your favorite drink (coffee, tea, I put it in my smoothie) daily. This is a very fine powder so use caution not to breath it into your lungs. It is not poison, only silica. It will attach to the insects a carry them out. DE will also kill bed bugs, mites, fleas, ticks, roaches and any other kind of insect with a skeletal structure. Multiple treatments are needed because diatomaceous earth doesn’t work on the eggs. I’ve been using this for 15 years internally and in my garden and my house.

     - I’ve been to 6 different dermatologists (why I don’t know…and I seem to be the not so smart one doing this). I was HOPING that ONE would say differently, or prescribe a hopeful medication that would actually work. It only got worse. I’ve been working in the medical field for over 30 years and I have this “epidemic”. I’ve had ALL sorts of things thrown at me and told old to me and it became so ridiculous! It got past depressing…most oppressing to deal with. And what is worse? Being in the medical field and knowing the medical aspect of things and how the body works and being told bullocks - that you don’t have any condition whatsoever AND THEN being told you’re insane. I will respond to some of the things told to me by saying: I have always all my life been a very clean person - cleaning regularly and have kept my house spotless. Changing your diet…hmmm. I am indifferent about this. The ONLY thing about changing my diet was…I use epsom salt & diatomaceous earth mixing it in water or juice and I lost 25lbs which is good but still no results in getting rid of these things and it’s been a while since having this condition. I SEVERELY do think that a weak immune system has A GREAT DEAL to do with being susceptible to this epidemic. Not sure if something specific in one’s body attracts them, but if your immune system is NOT able to fight them off I sincerely believe this is WHY they attach themselves and are attracted to certain people and not others - they can run a muck on your body without interruption and multiply - they multiply like crazy. When I was told this…it was a doozy (my cat even shook his head when hearing this one). Cutting one’s hair to cure the problem. Sigh…and what this particular dermatologist did NOT know (while speaking to him on the phone) I wear my hair, and my hair has ALWAYS BEEN very, very, very, very, very, extremely short, so.

257. Hi. I began experiencing biting crawling itching in 2005 when I sat on a pile of coats at an aguaintances home. This is absolutely something that breeds. I believe that I may be more sensitive to them because I get itchy in my families homes when I visit them and they report no problem. I also am sure that these organisms can be transferred. I am now having a problem at my new job. I began working there in March 2015 and six months later I can’t be there without feeling itchy. It’s definetly not psychological I use 91% alcohol in spray bottles for my environment. Pure peppermint oil mixed with water in spray bottles . Constant spraying. Constant showering. Constant laundering…

       - L-Lysine is the best form of detox in this situation; doses start at 250 mgs to the body to over 750 mgs. It helps other amino acids do their job that can’t without L-Lysine

     - Do it. And clean everything with bleach and winded with vinegar (the clear one) on things you can’t use bleach on. Get a dehumidifier, clothes steamer and wash all clothes on hot, with borax powder and vinegar added in, bleach the things you can, dry on hot and / or steam them after. Get cheap, synthetic, polyester, nylon, etc things. Get rid of all cotton and natural fibers. Get minty or lemon smelling sprays, soaps and hair products. Good luck

260. Please accept my apologies if you already have this info. This is regarding the invisible Bug Bitng Syndrome or as you mentioned in your 2012 response, Morgellons. I am convinced that actual cases of Morgellons are not neurological in nature, rather caused by an ameoba that every Morgellons victem has called dictyoselium discoidium. It metamorphosizes I to 6 forms which is why the stories of what we fi d coming out of our bodies seems so unreal. It even has the capacity iliy to “disappear. The only products I know that kills it is bleach and salycic acid. I need to deep clean my carpet to get rid of it from my home and would love to bug bomb the entire house with something g that would kill this slime mold/ameoba.

261. Dear Mr. Bugman. I am 60 years old, I have bugs too but they dont bite me, they just enter through my nose or open mouth and get stuck in my throat and sometimes they even try to crawl back out which puts me in panic especially when I am on a full stomach and am terrified to take even water. They even fancy my eyes. usually while I am trying to sleep they hit hard between the eyelids and try to crawl in. The number is increasing gradually. People think I am disillusioned. My wife is around me mostly but no such thing happens to her. I Read a few comments but mostly your prohibited item list, the thing that I am taking which others (my wife and colleagues) are not are at least 8 sugarfree tablets a day and crystal lights sugar free lemon drink regularly for the the last 6 months.(containing Aspartame) Which I intend to stop immediately. Shall be extremely grateful if you could help me with any more advice and related logical reasoning for why these are attracted only to me. Sometimes there is just a little tickle in the nose and before I can blow out it is already half way down the throat and stuck. Eating some food usually takes it down. I am able to ward them off by wearing a mask but I do need help.

     - not sure your problem is the same as mine was - but if so, get a prescription for the generic antibiotic, cephalexin. the bugs have a symbiotic relationship with a bacterium. Killing the bacteria kills the bugs. It works.

262. I read your post. Not sure how I came about it. It must have been meant for me to read. Anyways I have a few things you can try. One is Diametaceous Earth (food grade). You can make a paste with distilled water. Do not use tap water. You make the paste thick you also can purchasr some 100%Wild Oregano Juice, start taking this a teaspoon or 2 a day. You also need to get Motherz Apple Cider Vinegar. Start taking a bath with this in warm water with and use antbacterial soap to always bathe with. Leave the perfume stuff alone for sometime. Also you want to wash all your linen up with detergent and use 20 to 35 drops of grapefruit seed abstract in your washer use hot water. Wash all your bedding as well. Get some pine sol sweer and mop all floors. Use pine sol only. Then get some lysol or disinfected spay. Not fabreeze. Preferrably lysol. Spray your house down. Even down open your windows so you dont choke from the fumes. After this is done start doing a natural cleanse. You can start off by eating pumkin seeds with pectin, free from shell. If your hair is itchy. Take the oregano juice and put a 1|2 cup into your hair rub in head leave in all night. This should help you sleep. You can get all these ingrdients from the health food store. You also in time want to start drinking ginger tea. Get straight ginger. Peel and cut in a pot, use bottled water or distilled water on unless you have a filtration system then go ahead and use regular water if not stick to bottled water.

     - What suggestions do you have, because I’ve tried EVERYTHING: diatomaceous earth-food grade, colon cleansing/fasting, ALL of the essential oils (pure tea tree oil), antifungal crème, Permethrin creme, capful of bleach in bathwater, Lysol spray, vinegar/apple cider vinegar, sea salt soaks, borax, antibiotics (cephalexin/Keflex), Ivermectin, malathion lotion 0.5%,

264. re “these are not bugs” - three years after my nightmare ended I took a sealed bag outdoors and opened it. I had stored sheets in it. There were perhaps 100,000 dead black bugs on those white sheets. This was not bacteria. these were bugs, and whatever they were, they bred inside my mucous membranes and crawled on my body. they all had the same distinctive shape. I do not have the software to draw it for you, but it was some kind of nearly microscopic chrysalis. Two prongs at one end were legs, and the biting mouthpiece was buried between those two prongs. it had no head. It is my belief that these bugs entered the US from China on all clothing and linens about five years ago and spread across the US. A signal from an adult was necessary to tell the eggs to hatch and the larvae to move. Whenever I came into contact with these bugs out in public - in clothing or linens in a store - the larvae on my body would move. They lived on a long time in my lower intestines. I did get rid of them - it took three years in total. And yes, like most here, I was accused of lunacy and delusion. Nuvan pest strips kill them, but you need to leave your home for minimum two months and then air it out on your return. Move out, take nothing with you.

     - Could you please advise as to your meaning of “detox” since there are many variations out there?

       Do you mean a parasitical type or just a general detox starting with fasting, then juices, etc?

       Thanks,

268. Use Therapeutic Grade Frankincense
     Use it lightly at first it is very wrong and could burn clean damp moist skin ..
     Mix in in a lotion you are good with …
     also you can make a spray with it to spray your carpet …
     See if that’s helps

270. My wife and i also suffer from this curse. Its bitter sweet knowing we arent the only ones. Hardly a bug i would say.
     Here are a few of our findings
     #Earth magnets do something
     #it uses Frequncys that can be interupte.
     #It absolutly hates its own reflection.yes.my Theory is whatever signal it uses is redirected by the reflection,.
     #It needs electricty. Stop the current. It loses power. For me stcking a plastic card inbetween the wall and carpet breaks the current.
     It is veey inteligent and ha the abilty to kill u.. it also uses mind control.. high pitch sounds direced to spots in the head. Get a fm radio antenna and place it on spots on your head .very scary

     - Yes! Magnets! I actually figured that out about 4 months ago. I was in a flood and had to move into a hotel (I had them before the flood but not as bad) One night at the motel we could literally “see” tiny objects flying into my skin. I told my boyfriend that I felt like a magnet and could even hear a “humming” in my ears and feel it throughout my body. I didn’t know if it was electricity or magnetism.. My boyfriend is an electrician and owns some large magnets so I asked him to bring them home. It sucks them in and holds them. The larger ones can break free. I would place them around the walls of them room, especially at night. Have you felt them on your bed yet? when they get larger you can see the bed and covers move. Nobody will believe you. They are very intelligent!! I am able to communicate with some of them. they have a symbiotic partnership with something that looks like transparent worms and they eat them. There is a larger version of these . they look like a tiny version of “Cucumber Worms” from the sea. All of these are terribly hungry and love sugar. Look in the toilet, you will see the water and feces move very slightly. They did something to my eyes and I can somehow see them but not all the time. (Both) They very in size but can make themselves larger by clumping together. There are they type that look terrifying but have a very positive reaction to a calm soothing voice. when you “feel” them on your arms, try talking to them and move slowly. they feel very soft. Try petting them like one would an animal that is scared. You can “feel” that they are comforted. DO NOT let anyone see you doing this or you may be locked up. I am petting my arm now. S/He is holding still. The only problem with this is that others see it and they are not used to this (I’m guessing this part) so they come over for this affection as well. You will see their arms/tentacles as they move and wrap their arms/tentacles around you. If you act angry or scared (which I did for the first 6 months) I realized this one night when one jumped on the bed. they get as close to you as possible. They also go inside you in any orifice they can. I remember at first I thought it was a STD because they were in my genital area. But now I can feel them coming in everywhere. The nice ones look like something similar to a virus , greatly enlarged. They are transparent but cloudy. when you turn on hot water in the shower they feel heavier on your body and you may see them move about. They HATE direct sunlight I used to use a laser pointer on them but it appears to be painful on them so I don’t anymore,

       I have so much to say because I have been doing some research or experiments on them with me. Sometimes there are too many and I will get a headache. then I go outside in the direct sunlight. You can wee them almost melting off. Look on the ground and you will see slight changes in the color and patterns. some patterns are of people, animals, even families. some are just patterns,. I’m getting one of those headaches so I must go outside3for about 10 minutes.

       I guess I should add that I’m a Licensed Veterinary Technician and have been for over 25 years. I’ve worked at 2 CVM at major universities in the USA. I work in advanced science fields so maybe this is why I’m able to change the way I feel about them. I know I sound insane but they appear to look like a virus under a microscope while the other looks like a bacteria. That is all I want to say about their appearance right now. I would love to get a grant and research them professionally with the correct instrumentation but someone else probably already has one., If you do, please contact me.

       Thank you for listening.

         Posted by Kelly Buurman | October 7, 2016, 12:52 pm

       - I’m always busy so I apologize for not responding sooner. I walked to Wal- Mart this evening and paid attention to the ground. Why did you ask me? You can see them too, can.t you? However this evening I decided to pay attention to the dark skies as well and every once in a while there are big ( , the size of a person the size of a penny….a;ll sizes, the big ones higher. I just re-read what I wrote and I’m going to leave that because no one will believe me. It’s as if I am underwater though. the marks on the ground is where s/he is and has been. It sort of rolls and the marks are similar to braiding on the ground but it rolls. It moves in a jerky movement and it had legs that look like a letter “Y” usually in three’s. I have a couple of good pictures of that. Other marks are circular, starting small and getting larger if it is standing still. I can see bits of dirt and/or dust /leaves fly up.It can move all the way inside my body now but I get terrible headaches., I used to see triangles and squares but it later shaped into letters. now they are words and possibly names I think, just not in English The reason I said name is because they are starting to go in cursive. One had a SGT before it and the other a CPL.I will try to get a picture with a camera. I think I was able to get some pictures of the drawing s with the camera. Something started getting more proliferate this week. they were here once before but the other things ate them. These actually look like a hair except it’s only about 1/8 as wide. I have photos of how they group together on my pants and look like sewing with loose threads. I looked closer and it was no where else on the jeans and nothing was on the other side except the sewing like an “X” I started picking some of it to see if it came off and it did. It became a “V” deeply sewn into the area above my butt-ox on the jeans. I have some things to say about that but I must say it to you as no one will believe what I am saying., I feel foolish even writing it because if it was me on the other end I would not believe any of this. these worms are silky feeling to the touch. My very first symptoms began with a very silky yellow fluid that feels like these worms (it would evaporate quickly when I would try to look under the heat of the lamp on the microscope)that came out of the holes in my head where they initially laid the eggs. (I think they were eggs) The bumps were larger than mosquito bites and the holes looked like Fire ant bites with white on the top. In Fire ants its pus. In these I thought they were dead maggots but I never saw them move. I would have someone remove it and the next day would be another. Initially there were 5 holes at the base of my head and neck. It later spread all over my head and almost all of my hair was bitten off at 1/2 to 1 inch from scalp. Inside the stands of hair (there is some on the sides that is still a little long) the stand seems to have gotten lighter with black round things inside that move. A yellowish “fog” can be seen on the video moving around my scalp. I am no\t kidding I used to be terrified. I still am a little but I’m not dead yet so I think they are eating my skin tissue from inside- out. I see a lot of blue fibers aqnd pink fibers. actually the live worms are the pink color but much thinner
         I changed the subject suddenly a little while back when I began talking about the first holes that appeared in my head with the white things inside that I believe were eggs of some sort. this continues from there:.Both f these things eat my cells but they also eat each other. It s bit frightening when I see a about 30 of these 1 inch long worms rushing together, running away from something. I cannot tell what it is because it’s just a darkened area of my skin. It’s like the fog rolls in except I know there is something inside there and I’ve seen them in several forms. These creatures are unbelievable at disguise or hiding themselves in plain sight!
         The lady above has all the same symptoms as I have except I have more, The one with lack of concentration, memory loss, etc. and I have been living in the flooded house and in 3 hotels since then however other people see the same things when they are with me. I will say “Do you see this?” and they are usually shocked and say what they see and it’s the same.. I almost hope it’s from another planet because I cannot be crazy if other people see exactly what I see and I have photos. Let me take a minute to figure out how to post some. I also have video’s of a couple of things. I’m not very good with the video camera.
         As I am sitting here typing I took some grapes out of the refrigerator and ate three. bits of something began moving in my mouth., I took them out f my mouth. they are about 2 mm long. they flattened out somewhat and curved (like a smile) One side is more flat that the other and I can see those rings moving on the thin flattened side. It’s obviously alive. They must have gotten into the refrigerator again. They also like my yogurt, or they did a couple of months ago. Does anyone know what these are.?

276. I have body lice, I had over a hundred bites on my back, my doctor thought it was bed bug bites, but I didn’t think so because they were only on my back I keep the house cool and sleep on my back, that is where it is warmer..They were in my hair also, that was the hardest part getting them out of y hair..I don’t know if they are super lice but the normal changing your sheets every day and clothes twice a day and hot water washing and drying do not work. Ivermectin is the only thing that works, but a Doctor will not give it to you unless you have a very bad case of scabies, I had Orkin come in the next day, and they could not find any sign of bed bugs.. so I have have gotten horse ivermectin on Amazon I took it every day for 4 day, I was considering suicide, the whole thing consumed me, 24/7 and the thought that I could pass it on to others was to much to bare, the ivermectin worked, I have been taking it for almost 2 weeks and have another 3 weeks to go, my bites are almost all healed, but I am left with this crawly feeling every couple of hours on my feet, private areas, occasionally on my hands..I also used topical Benzamel which I ordered from Australia, But the ivermectin worked the best… Now if I could only get rid of the crawly feeling, there is nothing there just the wiggly feeling, If I spray a lot of alcohol or vinegar on my socks it seems to stop for a couple of hours.. I got the Duvets apple flavored ivermectin, it goes by your weight as far as the dose it tells you how much to take, but I read some doctors gave it to kids with head lice and the norm didn’t worked so they doubles the dose and that worked, so I take a little more that the normal dose..Good luck

     - You maybe on to something here. I usually get on my treadmill every night right around the time “they” start to become very bothersome, but after 1 minute into my treadmill exercise they completely leave me alone. No crawling or prickly feeling at all. That all changes right after i get out of the shower tho.

282. No you are not crazy you sound just like me. Are these bugs going in your skin.do they look like little grounds of pepper in your skin? If so there bugs are called do not see’ems they are sand fleas. I am moving out of my house after living here 11 yrs and don’t want to take anything. They are infested here and I didn’t have them until one day the gas company shows up and starts digging around my house and filled in were they dug with sand and gravel and left it sitting for months open right out front of the house. I don’t know where they bought the sand but it didn’t come from Ohio cause that’s were I live sand fleas are not from around here and usually you don’t get bitten or they’re not in your body unless you travel abroad like out of the states. They bought this stuff from somewhere and brought it around my house and now I have to move and I don’t know what I’m going to take. I sprayed for this stuff and they attacked me and when my skin which in turn made me lose 60 pounds in 3 months or more and put me in the hospital. These things are very hard to get rid of and very scary because when they get in your body they use your body to torture you and lay eggs all over the house and you spread them. I didn’t know these things until I read up on them. But I know that they wasn’t in or around my house until the gas company that sand in here. I have big sores all over my body and my legs arms hands feet everywhere. I have a thing from the hospital tell me I have tungiasis infestation this usually happens and poor areas around the world not here. So I know what you’re talking about I don’t know where you got these things are where they came from but you won’t be able to control them. You mean it you may have to move and take nothing with you. Go buy some odoban They dont like this stuff and mostly due on contact. Believe me I know what you’re talking about your story sounds just like my story but I don’t know if you have black dots in your arms legs and stuff because that’s what they do look for small black dots all over your body. If you have them did you work here in around the sand flea and they are using you to torture you. Trust and Believe I will be praying for you and you do the same for me. I am suing the gas company what they have done around here. They didn’t care where they bought some sand as long as it was cheap it wasn’t their home they were investing it was mine.

283. I’m certain the things listed below will be of great help. It’s important to keep the outer body clean, the inner body clean (including building the immune system and eliminating sugar from the diet), and keeping your home environment clean. I’m simplifying this after dealing with this subject (first affecting a relative) and then becoming impacted personally.
     - Apple cider vinegar
     - MSM (contains sulfur)
     - Alcohol (Isopropyl, ethyl, Denatured)
     - Witch Hazel
     - Clove Oil
     - Coconut Oil
     - Borax
     - Baking Soda
     - OxiClean
     - Epsom Salts
     - Heat
     - Anti-bacterial soap
     - Hand sanitizers
     All of the above items helped get me though the nightmare of dealing with being attacked by invisible parasites that caused itching, were very aggressive, and seemed to put up a fight to take over my body, home, and life. One just has to be persistent in the cleaning sequences because those things multiply otherwise. I am now back to a normal situation aside from using nearly all the products listed above to maintain my freedom and peace of mind. Going through this has not only made me wiser about infections, bacteria, etc. that can attack the body but it has also made me healthier because I’m certain my immune system had been weakened.
     Essentially, I have a couple glasses of seltzer water or other drink with 2 tablespoons of ACV each day. I was taking sulfur as a nutritional supplement but now take MSM. I wash my hair with baking soda and use ACV as a rinse. I add coconut oil to my tea every day. I exfoliate with baking soda. I mix clove oil with other oils and lotions and apply daily to deter my attackers. I add Oxiclean, Borax, and ACV when doing my laundry. I clean with baking soda. ACV, alcohol, clove oil, and Oxiclean. I bathe with anti-bacterial soap, sometimes I add Oxiclean to bath water. I take Epsom Salts internally at least once a week. I use sanitizers and witch hazel because they are deterrents. Sounds extreme I know but it has all given me back a normal existence which I feared might never happen at the beginning of this whole saga. (I threw out carpets, furniture, bedding, pillows, etc.) I used the heat from my hair dryer to stop the attacks from my laptop which was my first realization that I had a problem. I tried many of the suggestions given on various sites but that was how I overcame it. It took quite a while but applying the heat worked to eliminate them for good. Thanks to everyone who has posted their experiences to help others; I just don’t know what I would have done without all of the suggestions given.

     - Again I would like to post what worked the very first day - no bites for 1 month after starting topical cream just released Dec. 2015 - you will need a prescription and it is costly - but has worked like a miracle after trying all the suggestions found here. The cream is Soolantra 1% (ivermectin) and is FDA approved for use once a day for rosacea - that is now thought to be related to skin mites.

290. Her doc said carpet beetles..I had exact symptoms. First 6 months they ate me up.Its not the carpet beetle itself it’s the hair on the larvae.Please read up on this as finding this out saved my life. That and about 30 rolls of lint rollers.,a vacum ,and pledge .even dust and allergen , these suggestions jersey even got into threads on any and every thing so downy and a lint balld shaver are a must. After drying extra 3o mins from dry point. I used both lint shaver and lint rollers,,those loose threads that attack ur skin like ur hair .take them off also. And the only thing that heloped the deep soars was tinactin creme..still using flea comb for hair but 80 % better already..Once I find last bit if needed solution for hair I have these monstrates whipped. I did spray a beetle pesticide on outside and .mite pesticide on inside but that’s personal choice..They were in nose eyes teeth mouth wash astringent , and constant eye wash Long with Nettie tea pot for nose. Remember these things love clothing and anything having cloth..just as dust mites lover the remnants they leave behind so dust dust dust..and lint brush everything..wear gloves when cleaning and a long sleeve shirt and puts and shoes when done undress by washing machine .u will see big difference ..best luck hope this helps

     - correct. they are carpet beetles.came in four years ago on chinese imports. in high numbers they will attack humans. their favorite food is hair, so the source could be any clothing with fur or fake fur - they wil go for human hair - all body hair, head hair when you remove alternate food sources. but your remedies are all correct and good. douse your house in nuvan pest strips and leave for at least one month. that will wipe out the population. I kept all clothing and linens in vacuum sealed bags for two years. open the bag outdoors and shake out.then launder you will find thousands of dead adults but you will be rid of them.

     - I to am a suffer of invisible bites. After 4 mo. & lots of research of my own I think it’s Mites!! Lots of different kinds. Mine were face& body mites. Was bent over one day looking in mirror& something was biting nose&cheek I looked real close & there it was!!! A Mite coming out of the big pore on my nose I lightly brushed it onto mirror. I found out they do not like anything with Menthol or Eucalyptus in it. Sprinkled it on bedding(Gold Bond Med Powder) an me use Noxema on face arm’s& hands an anything medicated for hair. Every other day I spray Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar 1/2 & 1/2 all over house an on my 13 yr old cat who has never been outside a day in her life. Do not get in eye’s. Thank God we DO NOT ITCH SCRATCH or have been BITTEN!!! Good Luck!! Hope one of these things will work for YOU!!!

     - I have posted here what is newly released cream “Soolantra” (see posting above)- that works miraculously for demodex skin mites. (Look on the Internet for pictures of the skin mites that live in your pores.)
       It is a prescription and costly, but has recently been approved for use once a day for Rosacea (generally a condition that causes facial redness) which some believe may be due to facial mites.
       My husband used it - and from day 1 has not had even one bite after MONTHS of agony.
       Prior to that he tried sulfur soups and tea tree formulations that only lessened the numbers of bites.
       Soolantra is Ivermectin cream - well known in the past as an oral formulation - for treating Norwegian Scabies . . . for which Elimite didn’t work
       It has been a miracle.

294. baby bedbugs aka instar nymphs are translucent and nearly invisible to the naked eye before their first feeding. they are very difficult to see. after they feed for the first time, they become tiny red dots. the adults look like tiny round cock roaches and the eggs are tiny white spots. if you squish them, the hungry one are difficult to kill because they are kind of rubbery, the ones that just had a feast of your bloody will pop and leave a red or blackish smear that my boyfriend say stinks. depending on the age of the insect, they can measure anywhere from 1mm-1/4 inch. they can get into your curtains, your towels, clothes, carpeting, wood joints, furniture padding hair, privates, any part of your body. I am fighting them now. they drive you crazy. when they are first born, you can’t see them on your body but you can feel them. I hear that like a tic, most people don’t feel them bite because of chemicals they inject into your body. also, most people don’t develop signs of the bite like a bump or rash. you can have them for years and not see any sign of them. when you lay down you can feel them crawling on you and when they bite, depending on the size and if you are someone whom the chemical they inject in ineffective on, you feel an intense, sharp, burn briefly. in the adults it is very intense, in the babies it is more like a painful pins and needles. when they hit a nerve you can feel a weird tingly tpins and needles sensation that seems to feel like a brief contraction feeling. the best way to tell if you have beg bugs is to look beneath your matress at the corners. if you see spots that look inky or like mildew or something to that effect, then you have them. they live in the seams and piping of the matress, wooden joint and padding of the box springs, your carpet, behind panel and anywhere you can fit the edge of a credit card into. as a matter of fact, you should take a credit card and drag in along inside any opening you might see in the walls, furniture or carpet that is wide enough for the edge ot the card to fit into. you make scare some of them out. put scotch tape around the bottom of each bed leg. they cant climb on smooth non pourous surfaces and low on the headboard of your bed. pull bed about 6 inches from the wall. buy a bed bug certified mattress and pillow cover. also get one for your box spring. some mattress covers will encase both of them.

     I am trying neem oil. according to an epa study, it is non-toxic (it’s used in india as meidicne but, I don’t recommend giving it to babies.) and safe for pets and people. it is said to have an strong garlic like odor and a bitter taste. I think the reason no one believes you is because the nasty litter vampires were nearly eradicated in the early 70’s. most people don’t know what the look like. I watched them enter my house and didn’t know what they were. I used to see the babies wandering around on the sidewalk as the child and ignored them because I thought the were harmless.

     if you don’t find any, don’t be discouraged. that doesn’t mean they aren’t there. get some yeast and sugar and make a lure. use an empty soda or water bottle and a straw for the lure. mix 1/2 gallon of WARM water with 1cup of sugar, then add a packet of yeast and stir. let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. you may see foam on top. that is the yeast. make a 1/4 inch hole at the top of the plastic on the bottle and fill it with the yeast mix. insert the top of a bendy straw (like the ones you get at mcdonalds) into the hole and seal it tight with tape or silicon adhesive. find a container that is pore less or cut off the bottom of a smooth bottle. wrap the outside with something that has a gritty texture, like masking pate. spray the inside of the container with baby powder that contains talc or lightly coat it with oil or cooking spray. this makes it very slick and the bugs cant climb out. position the straw just above the center of the container. don’t let it touch the sides or middle. the bugs will latch on and use it to escape the trap. put several of these in different areas of the room near where they might live. (like inside of wall molding, between panel boards, closet, etc.), especially put one near each leg of your bed. check the smooth container traps once a week to see if there are any bugs in it.

     according to the epa, who did a study for an insecticide that had 5.5% strength of neem oil as the active ingredient and everything else was inert. it is highly effective and safe. during their sprayed it every 7 days and found that during the first month or two, it was 100% effective on contact. it leaves a residue that continually kills the little critters as they walk across it. after several months being left there.the effectiveness degrades to 80%. recommend you try this.

     the recipe for neem oil pesticide is 7 oz (3/4 c + 2 tbl) of neem oil, 7 oz of any vinegar (emulsifier), and 114 oz (3 qt + 3/4 cup) of water, vanilla extract for scent.

     add vinegar to water first and mix. then add neem oil and stir vigously until water and oil are mixed. add vanilla extract to scent it until you are please.

     pour into a spray bottle and spray everywhere you suspect them of being, including the bed and carpet. it is safe to lay on and even drink. it is also safe for cats and dogs and children.

     I hope this helps if you haven’t found resolution yet. BTW, after you’ve been bitten for a short period, there becomes a psychosomatic effect where your brain creates little sharp pins and needles and crawling sensations when there is nothing there. don’t worry, you aren’t crazy, it’s just a normal response because you know you have been getting bit. It’ll go away when you feel sure the nasty little beasts are gone. 🙂

     good luck

296. It seems to me that u have bed bugs even if you can’t see them. And if you don’t you probably did and killed them with pesticides or some bug killer spray or something and now your getting the itchies from the chemicals you used. I got same problem. My advice is wash your clothes like you normally would but add a cup of rubbing alcohol to the rinse cycle and wash your sheets once a week to get that Shit off your bed. And lather yourself with calimine lotion a few hours before going to bed so you don’t get it on your sheets. Also take cold showers not hot showers that burn your skin. It works.

298. she needs to bomb her place with RAID, and wash everything in HOT water with bleach, or just throw EVERYTHING out and get new stuff. I know exactly the mites she’s talking about. they’re really big in Florida in the spring but I have no idea what kind of mites they are, just that they seem to like Spanish moss an awful lot. they come in on plants. likely she brought an outdoor plant inside and infested her house. they like moisture, so a dehumidifier would be good too.
     sorry whoever you are for everyone making you feel crazy. they’re very much in the wrong here. you’re completely sane.
     try also drowning them like lice in mayonnaise. idk if it’ll work but they’re about the same size so in theory… I bet you can pinpoint the onset of the infestation too. burn the culprit to the ground.
     it’s really no laughing matter. their bite or legs or whatever hurts about as much as fire ant bites but you can’t always see where they are to kill them… in Florida if you are gardening, they can stop you dead in your tracks and you’ll need to take a very long hot shower and scrub your skin off… makes me itch thinking about it.
     OUTSIDE PLANTS STAY OUTSIDE!!!! that even means trimming roses since they also like to hang out on them as well.
     you all are… a-bunch-of-things-I-probably-can’t-say-here. have a nice day 🙂

     - Thank you but they are not from gardening or outside plants. I’ve been dealing with this for years.for so long they were attacking my husband and myself biting our arms and legs TO no end we had to wear long sleevs in the hottest months in Florida no less .my arms have white scars all over them.they look like liver spots so embarrassing.
       About 9 months ago I noticed my hair seemed very gray balding also hair would curl . I colored my hair like every three weeks and Bloomberg again. Then I realized they were in my head and hair.eating it .they are white thread and white cotton tiny tiny even looks like lint also in my hair with a magnifer I could see them hard at work tiny black itty bitty bugs and the white lint they were spinning what look like a web. And eating.my hair. All on our bed and couches three were and are white star looking fibers when you get close enough with the magnifier you can see the star or I also call it. Snowflake looking.you can see its a tiny white lint/fiber.also this is true when I tell you inside thread tiny tiny pieces of lint there is a black bug which works their way out.they bite. This sounds crazy but it’s true. I’m going blind looking thru the magnifier all the time.
       Ok I may be skipping around some j but I’ve been thru do much and now after all I’ve done I about to go insane.
       I have so much more to say I Will continue soon
       Korean quick April 4 we moved did not take anything until us..No clothes..we are renting a house now new bed couch clothes everything’ we owned we had to get rid of filled up a 20 ton dumpster. It was rough. Ok three days ago I had my 4th wig eaten off my head shaved my head again my neck and head and ears are bitten up.they are coming from inside me..I thunk.audio come out when we go per pee.Snowflake looking bibs’
       Need to end for.now

300. Let me just tell you that the woman you responded to is not crazy. Now I am going to tell you what they are and it will absolutely floor you.
     They are not just your everyday fruit fly fungus nat, but they are buffalo gnats and/or sand gnats .
     If you find yourself wiping at your ears eyes nose or mouth you could assume those are sand gnats.
     If you find yourself being “eaten alive”, with marks on your body as if you had gotten a mosquito bite, you can be confident you will have a place somewhere in the home being used for the females to drop off and pile their eggs
     First it is important to know that it is only the females that bite humans and do so to provide nutrient to the eggs.
     The lifespan of one adult gnat ranging 3 weeks to 4 months yet in this short span of life, the females can lay four or five groupings of eggs and in each lay you could find 150-400 eggs. No, I am not kidding.
     I have done alot of research as I have been dealing with the exact same issue, and she is so right when she mentions others not believing.
     When the ordeal first occurred I had originally without hesitation in a mindset, as i live in an apartment, that somehow it was bed bugs. I thought that although it looked as if maybe just becoming a problem due to very minimal amount of what I assumed was fecal droppings was visible if I got rid of it that would be over. I can tell you now I was very foolish to have tossed out a $900 mattress set because I did find the truth to what was happening a short time later.
     My research had taken me down the following path, and I think each has made a significant change in retrospect.

     First I created several traps using the apple cider vinegar and dish soap drops and set out around house. The next thing was to locate any and all vanilla candles I had around and light them as I learned they do not appreciate that odor. I set out and picked up a large box of borax to add to all laundry and also around foundation and the burroughs where noticed, (burroughs are what are created when a female dog squats in grass area that grass dies from but gnats like to live), as well a bottle of clorox to mix 50/50 in spray bottle for the perimeter of my apartment out doors. While out i also picked up a few bug bombs. Also note the smell of pine is another that helps keep gnats away so I used for my tile floors. Another step was to pour a decent amount of ammonia down any drains and seal to force out if any coming in through pipes.
     I had bombed the apartment with several bombs. They say one is good for 2000′ ft but I could argue that. On the second day I was feeling much better and had accomplished alot . The laundry was time consuming and I threw out many itens where I found the dead ones interweaved within certain fabrics. During the times of cleaning up from all that of bombing, had become the task for several days.
     It was when I got to the last of our bedding and the pillow cases taken off and pillow shams as well when I came to a pillow with a plastic cover brought home from hospital. I instantly noticed an edge of the plastic covering that right away looked as if it had been jaggedly cut open. From the outside i could see two areas with the appearance somewhat that of a large kidney bean. I was not prepared for what I was to see when I looked inside the cover. Actually, I almost lost my lunch as I was sickened immediately . These two objects I had describe having appearance of kidney bean were indeed much much worse as it was clear.this pillow had become their hatchery and the amount of eggs wete astronomical to say the least. Immediately ran out of apartment rolling it into large lawn sack to dumpster.
     Although this was absolutely horrifying to me in one moment yet several moments later a sigh of relief, or so I thought.
     It would be the following day as I had returned home from an outing and sat to rest on my couch for a few minutes. suddenly i felt a nibble and then another. I wasnt going to go any further with it as my husband had begun to say I was obsessed and at times laugh at things he would see me doing in my efforts to extracate them from my home. I started to ask myself if this was now a bit crazy but the next moment other nibble on my leg. I immediately stood up and flipped the couch over with. Pest spray in hand ready to spray. Myneyes spanned the underbelly of that couch and then there it was. The same things I had found in the pillow. I was devastated to say the least. I grabbed a long strap and pulled the entire couch (leather), out the door and then rolled down parking lot to the dumpster as well. You dont need to ask about the love seat because identical to other.
     At this point I have no words and I am totally exhausted and beginning to understand what the true meaning of defeat is.
     However there would be yet one more situation that would arise several days later.
     I had gone to bed a little earlier than usual and was watching some television when I heard the water hitting my bedroom window from the sprinkler. It was so clear that I wondered if my husband had left it open, but he advised me the opposite. When I had gotten uo to look for water coming into the bedroom from the window I put my hand against a very cool wall which told me the possibility of water being within the wall pretty good odds.
     I had removed all curtains and were ready for them to be washed but had not yet gotten to cleaning the windows of the apartment and had not opened the blinds .
     When I raised the blinds I notice it.
     This is the place that has been used as the gnats tunnel in and out of my apartment. The whole in the corner of the window seal was close to 1/8″ thick and approximatel an inch long with a sizeable depth and paint was raised near that end of the window tracks.
     I have also held on to some of these awful creatures and it is very hard to realize what you are looking at for the most part. Some wrapped in almost a lint ball of sort. You definately need a magnifying glass.
     The difference in the way they bite you is due to the number of so called prods. A mosquito has but just one. However these particular gnats have 6 total only in actuality four are used like scissors to slice the skin a fifth injects a coagulant into.you while the other pulls the blood and they wil bite you in several spots surrounding that initial bite to locate best source for them. These bites will look very similar to a bite that a mosquito would leave.
     For the lady whose email you had originally made to show response to….

     I TOTALLY BELIEVE YOU AND HOPE YOU FOUND SOME GREAT INFORMATION WITHIN MY COMMENT.

302. I have for the last month or more been experiencing bites. I have been treated for scabies with steroids and told I had a no see um fly that I literally pulled from my leg. Some bites occur during the day, but most at night. I was given Benadryl it knocked me out. I was awaken out of a sound sleep. Some time they look like pin point black dots. Bites are I n my wrist, bites, legs, feet and ankles. My muscles are sore and sometimes hard. Now I’m being bitten in my car and last night they left scratches that begin to close by this morning. I’ve been told I have no bug problem. I find small red, white or black dots. I feel like what ever is going on with me has gotten into my clothing and they don’t seem to wash out. I killed something on my back two nights ago and my exterminator said it was sauce. Now my muscle is sore across my back. I’ll give up these things but the pain and scratches are real.

304. My situation may be slightly unique as compared with others, but know I’ve read through all of these posts the past few years now, every summer, and never could identify anyone else with the same symptoms as mine. Simply put, in the late spring through late fall months, if I go outside in shorts, or bare feet, I contract ‘something’ that begins to bite at my ankles, legs, and knees. Whatever it is, wherever I go inside my home and sit for a time, that specific area seems to become ‘infected’ with a higher degree of being bitten. The bites happen at random times throughout the day, 7×24. They literally can feel like I’m being pricked with a hot needle. Very small red spots can appear on my legs, smaller than a pin head. The only treatment that I have found to give myself relief from these is to soak in a bleach bath, a cup of bleached mixed with bath water, along with a chemical called “Permethrin”, in a 10% form (usually I purchase from a livestock pesticide dealer, and mix a small amount in the bath water at the same time. I the put on a pair of clean-uninfected socks, and jeans - and if remain dressed and go outside, then I no longer contract the bites - but as soon as I do go barefoot in the grass, or patio, or on my deck, then I get them within 30 minutes - and the suffering starts all over again. I’ve also learned to mix Permethrin in a garden pressure spray container, mixed with water, and treat areas of my home that I have allowed infestation to occur by sitting in those spots after coming inside from being barefoot. I live in Central OHIO, and I have moved three times in the past 5 years, and each of my houses have had yards. Again, this only happens towards late spring (late May or early June) and lasts through early December. If not during that time, I can go outside barefoot and am fine. I do not use any chemicals on my lawn - so that rules that out. I replace my furnace filters monthly, like clock work. I do not have any mold in my home. I can go on vacation to other places during the summer, other states, and I can contract them as well. I can contract them sitting at a restaurant even - all during the summer months. The biting and stinging can be painful at times but they are only short lived bites, but enough for my to suddenly swat and scratch at my legs although nothing is there that I can see. I’ve inspected my bath water after a treatment and I can see very tiny clear-lucent specs. I do not suffer these on any other part of my body. They aren’t fleas. This is too consistent, and too common no matter where I seem to go in the summer months. So, like everyone else here, I’m asking for suggestions or thoughts? I know I’m not crazy. I have considered certain products that I may eat, or drink, or use during these months of being infected, year after year, and I cannot trace back to anything that may be chemically related from ingesting or using or wearing. If you can, please give me your thoughts specific to my case. Also, these are not bed bugs, just want to rule that out now. It happens only when I go outside barefoot or in shorts - and sometimes in shorts while sitting at a restaurant - and once I contract them, I bring them home, and thay seem to propogate - which lends me to believe they are biting to get blood in order to fertilize eggs only for a new batch to be born - and the cycle continues repeatedly unless using Permethrin.

     Thanks!
     Mark

     - I know you said not mold, and you’re right. I have a lot of the same experiences, like being a magnet to this stuff. I moved into my 4th place in less than2 years. I know how, when to the day that this happened to me. And my children. All at once, NOW hear me out if it doesn’t make sense reply back with , “koo-koo” lol
       So a heat treatment in a place where the HVAC hadn’t been cleaned in about 16 years. I was told to turn the air on after a certain amount of time to make the temperature go down. Each time I went in I felt nothing. Finally the temperaturewas low enough we went in & went to bed within about an hourI was running out of there wanting to rip my cloths off. Couldn’t go in there without being attacked. I could run through to get something and few got me but to sit a while NEVER. I continued to pat my rent while living elsewhere until I could figure out what to do. I was clueless. I called health depts, epa , bug exterminators of all kinds, and did research. Nothing for awhile I thought it was chiggers, ignoring the little piece of the puzzle That would rule that out-chiggers weren’t known to be in this area, Phoenix, Arizona nor did they live indoors. I needed to connect it to something after 6 months, this worked as a mental band aid. Doctors? Worthless, I had a bit of luck on our 50th doctor, but not really.
       You see when toxic mold is killed it still produces and releases mycotoxins as well as mycotoxins producing spores billions of them. It does this as a last stich effort to preserve it’s species. For this reason they have experienced mold remediation specialists, who use a containment, so that all these spores are not released everywhere. Few are educated with regard to mold. And there are lots and lots of different types, which affect people differently. When testing a home for mold, they look for moisture areas, if non are found, most likely there’s no mold problem, when done in the day time, bad move cuz mold hides from the sun, which will kill it, so night time is their roaming prime time. Plus like you it gathers towards you. Now our bodies God made pretty cool, our amuse systems fight off mold from affecting us, until we’re exposed to high concentrations of it either all at once or for over along amount of time. Each place I move to seems fine when I move in, for the first few days or so, and then the battle begins. Logically, we’re a perfect environment for mold to grow, our bodies are made up of plenty of water and all the food source any up and rising mold would need. The only deal breaker is that darn amune system, which fights it off for us. But break the amune system down do it no longer attacks and bingo “living in the Ritz”! Hence the reason for the magnet affect.

       Now mold spores can float around & live for a long time w/out water. And there’s always mold spores outside as well as mold. In your case it’s the mold from the lawn or other outside things cuz it’s not inside your home. But me personally, the spore come through my cloths to get me. If I have on tight fitting jeans even worse. You use no pesticides on your lawn even better for mold growth. They need water and I’m sure you water your lawn and a food sourse, if all else fails they can feed on dirt and dust no big deal, but I bet human as compared to dirt is the optimal choice. However, the mold itself won’t hurt you. It’s the toxins that can do the harm as well as the spores.
       Tell me how this scenario sounds…
       Someone discovers mold in their apartment from a leaking pipe in the kitchen. They call their landlord, who is a property management company, who does only as much as the law says he has to. Basically a cheapskate. Doesn’t want to loose this property by telling the owner it’s xxx amount of $$ to remove it correctly & by professionals, so he hired someone That’ll do it cheap & fast. no containment, billions of spores are now everywhere in the house & outside.
       It’s winter, (cuz that’s when you can feel it the most inside). Some find their way outside and pick the lawn. It’s cool and moist.
       But summer comes…
       The sun kills the mold , it releases billions of new spores that won’t be killed as easily as the mold but they’re still looking for a home. Here comes mark, a traveling diner.. before winter sets in the spores have found a place to dwell and are no long lingering around, that is if you get a lot of moisture wherever you are. Here in Phoenix. Not much moisture but a lot of old apartment with property managememt companies managing them for the wealthy owners in California or Hawaii who only bought them so that they have a deduction on their taxes. The justice of the Pease who are in their pockets wont enforce laws. The sun is here all the time killing any new mold found growing outside therefore releasing their supply. Guys running all over the county who don’t speak english, but work for real cheap adding to the billions upon trillions of new spores real estate all the time. There are so many apartment in Phoenix, it’s unreal. Few realize that it’s mold spores they are feeling, when they are itching and running to the closest Walmart to buy new vacuums. But I know when I walk through the vacuum isle, cuz I feel them attacking me. You can blind fold me walk me down any street around the 1st of the month and I can tell you exactly which place is moving, cuz when they move their belongings it moves the spores that have been piling up under and behind their belongings.

       Bad part for us, our amune systems will never be able to fight them off again. I think doctors know this but don’t want to tell us. So they give us a band aide and hope for a cure or a method for us to rebuild our amune systems or perhaps as I’m always hearing, “there’s just not enough research done on the subject”. But what gets me, is why the heck they don’t just tell us the truth. Perhaps if they did, then they’d be spending the rest of their careers in court as witnesses.

       - It’s a parasitic fungus. Get anti fungal products. That is all that kills it on your body. I also just found this Defense Soap brand that makes a lot of different products. I ordered on Amazon. Only tried the Defense Body Wipes, but omg, instant relief. Loving it. I was spraying alcohol on my lower legs before that, ugh. Zep mold spray kills it on the floor, as does a floor steamer, but that take a long time. The anti fungal soaps and lotions, made with tea tree oil, are also life savers. Eating less sugar helps surrisingly fast too. GL

       - Thanks, but when I leave an infested area they are no longer attacking. As a matter of fact, they’re not attacking me at work. Sometimes when passing by in the wind, I can feel them, but yes I will try your soap, what is it call can you send me the link?

         Posted by Meshelle | September 10, 2016, 4:52 pm

     - Mark, instead of Bleach please try Apple Cider Vinegar, you can also apply it directly to your skin, it will kill any possible bugs as well as all itching and stinging….. Spray your home, and yard with “EcoSmart” Natural, Organic, and Safe for animals and Humans 🙂 Best of all IT WORKS!! Good Luck.

305. Tiny red bugs that nite private more often than other parts are called chiggers… But bacon grease on your b private when they itch and it’ll suffocate the bugs… This is actually common in southern rural areas. I’m sorry people won’t listen to you about them being there, they are very hard to see especially if you don’t know what you’re looking for.

306. You are not going to believe this but it is a bacteria. No pesticides will work. Try using tea tree oil. Dilute it with almond oil and rub into you skin. I would love to know if it works for you.

     - Wow. The rain , humidity, this makes me believe spores. As in mold spores. I’ve been dealing with this nightmare for two years. What I have learned is a couple of things. Doctors are just “practicing” medicine, and this is something way over their heads that they know very little about and possibly due to their pride they can’t seem to bring themselves to admit that they simply don’t know what to do. So they pass it off to something else. It would be great if there was actually a doctor who chose to be a doctor because they had a passion for helping people and not a passion for money. But that’s not the case with 99% of doctors today. They are not willing to put in extra time to research anything they do not have to. So we’re left alone to figure it out. And a lot of people are uneducated and could naked their situation worse via the aide of chemicals and what not that do not help but could worsen the problem not only for themselves but others as well.
       Mold is the strangest thing affecting different people differently and some people a lot others a little. Our amuse system is built to fight the mold for us. But what when there is so much that our system breaks down and can no long fight it? We begin feeling the affects. Some people slowly other depending on their exposure a lot all at once. Runny nose, ear aches, itchy skin, sore throats, watery eyes, head aches, blurred vision, random irritability, bursts of unreasonable anger, tirednesd, memory loss or forgetfulness the list goes on and on.. these are common thing occasionally. with most people and they come and go. The doctor writes it off as just a common childhood thing, stress at work, the list goes on and on. These are quite possibly effects of mold exposure not extreme exposure, mold is everywhere wait and in a little time our amune system usually wins the battle. But when it is a weak system due to other exposures be it harmful chemicals, pesticides. Drug use who knows cso all play a part in this process. Slowly breaking if down. Then when an extreme exposure occurs you actually notice these thing and no matter what the doc says you know this is not normal. Especially when it’s not just you experiencing it be it other family members or pets. It’s a real drag for those who are in the home and they are the only one feeling or experiencing it. I believe that would drive me mad. I’m sure a lot of people in that situation are classified, by these “practices” of medicine as having a mental issue so they don’t have to actually work or think about helping some one with a problem. Plus they get to refer them to anot her doctor and there you go promoting the various fields in their own proffession or passing the patient around to a bunch of ignorant people with a degree to prescribe asprin, but clueless as to a problem that is actually becoming much bigger. Who knows how long they will be content in their ignorance.. in the mean time we are left alone to do the work for them, and without a ridiculous pay check. It’s obvious that the world we live in is not governed by God, He would never have such incompetence uncaring people in these positions. However, it is what it is until the end. So what do you, Tracy, do?

       First you need to narrow it down and determine what the issue actually is?
       I’m going to assume mold. There’s a couple of questions …
       1. Do you know when it started more or less the month and year?
       2. You and your dog’s problems all start around the same time?
       3. Have you recently moved, is the place you’re living in a rental that you recently moved into?

       On A side note about mold… it’s not the mold itself that is dangerous, it is the toxins that the mold produce. These toxins are not alive, they are a virtually invisible gas like thing. Now just like any living thing. when there is a threat to life the auto “preserve my species” mechanism kicks in. An example most people have seen and killed a cockroach at least once in their lives. Well when you kill a cockroach that thing that looks like it must be pooping out, is not poop. So no you didn’t scare the poop out of it. They are actually eggs. Well mold does the same thing. When life is threatened they produce abd release millions of toxic mold producing spores. Spore to me, are what I call baby molds. They are very resilient and can survive much longer then mold itself. Once the spores find their new home. Per Se and attach to some perfect spot it then begins the growing process. So spores in a sense are invisible little mold eggs. They are microscopic, very small that weigh nothing so just walking past them will be enough wind to move them, making them seem already alive, flying around and attacking. I’m not 100% sure how they actually operate but this settles my mind for me to move on to the next stage of finding comfort and a resolution before an auto amune disease kicks in. Another thing, if the mold is found and killed removed and you think , “yep, problem found abd solved!! Life will now be good”. I hate to tell you this, but don’t get ahead of yourself. You may have just made your problem worse. These little nightmares are really out to survive and have some pretty cool little tricks. If they don’t survive, they sure don’t want anything else surving.

       So, when they are releasing these spores well, they are also producing and releasing mass amounts of toxins even after death these toxins can he released into the air. This is where your problem has just become very very bad. The toxins are not alive, so there’s no killing them. Some of these toxins are the same as that in which those in the middle east are trying to mass produce to use as weapons in chemical warfare. Some nice stuff. The reason is because some of these toxins are so stable that it will take years for them to dissipate, (brake down and go away). In other words the mold is gone but the worst part of the mold is going to be around for a long long time, affecting you who knows depending on the amount of Spore and toxins released possibly 10 times worse or more then before removing the mold. That’s why it is very important to hire a professional who complies with the EPA requirement of using a containment around the removal area before even messing with the stuff.

       Imagine this, there’s this land lord who has a house, and he finds mold, he’s the smartest guy around in his mind, mold can’t be that hard to deal with.
       1. He gets a mask finds the mold there’s a lot of it behind the kitchen cabinet.
       2. When he pulls it out omg, he thinks but no problem, he’s a handyman who can fix anything.
       3. He gets a big blower to dry the wood a bit first for a few hours.
       4. He sprays poison to kill the mold.
       5. He remove the rotting wood. Throwing it out the back door and later dragging it to the dump.
       6. Brings in the blower again to dry any leftover wet spots…
       7. Ect …

       Then here you come to rent a new place for you and your family. Oh it’s beautiful. He tells you it’s just been remodeled, all new cabinets in the kitchen . Awww he’s right they are new. You rent it. You see no mold , (yet). Sooner or later those baby mold eggs , spores. Are going to find a nice spot to live and grow, their options are more now that he blew them all over the house. A favorite spot is the air condition vents. Any where there is water and food. Your hair might be a good feeding spot for awhile. You’ll notice an increase in split ends along with the neurological symptoms. All of the sudden you feel things attacking your legs. Why the legs? Cuz no movement of air the mold spores fall to the ground eventually. And when you walk past it stirs them up. It may take little while depending on your amune system and a number of factors, but if there’s a lot of spores and a weakened amune system eventually boom … nightmare. I have discovered one very interesting thing a way to see if there are these toxins present. You can’t see them with the naked eye and who carries around a microscope when being shown a rental? This is the wisdom I credit it God cuz only He can point out an easier way, right? When you take a picture of these toxins, it not know slows their movement down but it stops it. Cameras cannot process as quickly as our eyes, so it’s actually visible in pictures. Also in videos. Yep right on your cell phone. You look at pictures of your kitchen where you really feel It, your bathroom where you never feel it, your bedroom right over the kitchen where it’s so bad you can no longer sleep in it, your garage you know it’s not there either, the far bedroom , never feel it there either but none of the pictures look different to you. A couple of them look a little yellow, you think you need to adjust the settingS or maybe it’s the lighting who knows nothing there. Stop. You might want to look a little closer. Zoom in. Take a couple of more pictures where it’s a lot yellow. Take a selfie, zoom in on your face. What the…. omg. The girl on that drug site is right. Yellow is a bad sign when looking at rental or even when buying a house, remember it takes years…. to dissipate some of these toxins. Oh I forgot to mention. Yes they can be broken down manually. All you need to do is heat for 30 minutes at 500 degrees. Need it done faster no problem how about 10 minutes? There you go 10 minutes at 900 degrees. Good luck with that. You ask is there no other way? Sure that magic stuff OZONE I think that’s what it’s called. Yes ozone will break it down. The only catch is you will need to use an amount that is so high it will also kill anyone else in the building. So now you see how it makes your problem worse….
       Im no expert. I am just a person who when there’s a problem I fix it, I search for ways and methods on how to fix it and I never give up until I find the answer. Kinda like a dog with a bone. I sometimes think I’m cures being a compationated Pisces with an Aries Rising and my Mars in Aries, I just can’t stop until I find the answers. Sorry I don’t believe in putting a band aide on everything and pretending it’s not there. I hate the doctors who just want to tread the symptom and not find the cause. I don’t like medication, that is ridiculous to give me something to cover up the problem only for it to remain. I guess that’s job security? It’s just like anything, if your bike is rusting and you just paint over it with new paint it helps for a bit but the problem still exists. If your plumbing is leaking real sliwly evenvwhrn its un noticeable and eventually it damages the bottom of your cabinet, you can replace the cabinet it’ll look good for awhile but until you find the sours of the leak, your problem won’t go away and the more band-aids that you use the worse the initial problem becomes and next thing you know you have an autoimmune disease or you have to replace the whole insides of your house or the bike is rust all the way through and is no longer savable. Well, these doctors who practice with their different medicines are not going to help you. My email is rmeshelle at g mail dot com.

       - I have had this happening since 2006 every house I have lived in since then has had a mold water leak . and the dogs I thought was fleas. we live in the national forest so it’s wet here alot more than other places and it seams that when I put stuff under our bed it grows mold on it. we don’t have carpenter just an area rug in living room . also my yellow lab is allergic to fleas but we treat the yard he always goes under the house and the porch. he always has black dot things around his lower back and hinder parts . I thought this was Mitsubishi cause he chews his fur till he has sores the other two dogs don’t go under the house but are starting to doing the same thing I dip the dogs and they seem to feel better . when I do get the bit marks that turn into sores on me I get that line that turns into what u said hard plastic and some of them have a black dot resembling a to Mrs looks like a piece of Roach poop but I thought it might be the dead mite ty I will reply when u can give me more . and the other answer this comes up on me when I am stressed out and depressed

     - After 2 years of having these things, I have YET to find an answer. Getting everything from mold spores to buffalo gnats, sand fleas, collembora, etc. After studying these things significantly, I do see a small white worm thingy. This one seems to fold in half and pop off the walls. When I first got them, the white one was big (psychologically disturbing) when I killed it and studied it. The black one’s seem to have a stinger on the end and they don’t fly but jump in a circular swirling motion and are also very fast. You may hear a popping noise, high pitch humming in your ears (they love the ears and hair) and most stay on the scalp, and in the back of your body. They are elusive and work as a unit (if you have a lot of them). In the shower I have found the reason why you can’t wash them off is they seem to jump off and relocate to another part of the body when you are showing and they can cling on to anything like crazy! They are hard to get rid of. They are VERY, VERY fast and is why it’s so hard to see them - you can see them in dim lighting or in peripheral vision. Very rarely to they come to the front part of the body and stay on the back of neck, arms, the private area or bottom of feet, between web of toes/fingers. I have learned how to keep mine very small. You may feel tingling, biting, stinging, or a whiskery sensation. They seem to hang onto the body with some webbing-like material. Don’t wear cotton - they breed really fast especially in cotton, don’t use cotton washcloths - use disposable one. For some of us it seems that the immunity system plays a key roll in fighting these things off. Get an immunity booster (cat’s claw) or something. I have wondered WHY in a crowd of people, if I flick one off HOW IS IT that it can find me?!!!! Someone said they secrete pheromones and is why it was suggested also by another sufferer to buy a diffuser, cedar oil works well. Wash your cover every day/every other day and only keep out what you wear. Bag up everything else. I used to have scars/bites. Not anymore. I use essential oils, cocoa butter on my skin mixed with Neosporin as well as rub in the essential oils. I believe there are people suffering from mold spores (a bit different symptoms if you study it) some people suffer from Morgellon’s, delusional paracytosis AND THEN THERE IS THIS. I believe they are completely and totally different symptoms and diagnosis. Sadly those sufferers like me have been told all the above, but sorry. By no means am I crazy. Been in the medical field for 30 years. I’ve seen delusional. This is something altogether totally different - a superbug of some sort that the CDC knows exactly what it is…but will NOT acknowledge it just yet. Someone said they were just starting to test for this…have as of yet to see it. I cut my hair really short and STILL they are in my hair so I use head and shoulders but still…only dampers symptoms. Showering 1-2 x daily, use 91% alcohol spray bottle, oatmeal baths to sooth the skin…lots of packets (99 cent store). I add tea tree oil or eucalyptus oil, coconut oil, argan oil, in bathwater and sometimes use bleach (only a small amount because I think bleach weakens the immune system of your skin). I have bought cats claw to see if that works. Make sure you rub in the oils really good (ears, between fingers/toes, back of arms and pour some on back and try and rub it in. It is a bi**ch to deal with and to be called crazy and insane when you are totally sane will drive you insane! Hang in there.

     - Unfortunately, as is the experience with all who suffer from this “curse”. You POSSIBLY CANNOT understand the suffering unless you yourself is going through it. I’ve been in the medical field for 30 years (CNA). I’ve first hand experienced and have seen “delusional psychosis” and other related illnesses. There may be some on this website actually suffering from skin allergies (such as mold, etc. delusional paracytosis) BUT this IS NOT. It is an actual bug. I have seen it, sent samples of it and was confirmed as such. Again unfortunately since there is no cure and dermatologists are stumped/dumbfounded at what it could be, those of us who suffer from this either have to find our own cure, and/or continue to suffer until there is a cure or the CDC finally responds to the number of people who have written to them pleading for help. There are over the counter items that can be used to curve the symptoms but not cure it. I strongly believe that there is something in the body that attracts these bugs to one and not the other, as I lived in a house with roommates when I got them. All of us had the symptoms, but I was the only one that got them full blown. Everyone else was able to fight them off. Immune system plays a big part also I believe. Morgellon’s, delusions…etc. If a doctor, entomologist or dermatologist won’t take the special time to research this, then I do believe that there will be a high number of psychosis cases resulting from suffering from this - itching, bites, pain in joints, linear stratches. It is highly disturbing to have them. They are un-killable and it makes one VERY uncomfortable. I so wish though that people would stop calling this delusional.

       - As I have posted before - please try the new Soolantra cream - released 12/15. It has been approved for daily use.
         My husband had success from day 1 - months ago - and since that time, has experienced total relief.

         The cream is by prescription - and my be costly - but worth a try.

311. Anyone who says this is Pychologicol is wrong I live in Texas and this year we got so much rain that my whole town is swamped with this problem and everyone is to embarrassed to admit it , I know for sure they are bugs not visible to the naked eye , because when u get around other people they flare up and you can feel them crawl on your face and for some reason they love going in the nose , for example sit down with three strangers close proximity and I guarantee all three start to feel the sensation of something running up they’re face into they’re nose , how is that Pychologicol please tell me , it’s not mites it is something new , it’s been in this town for years now but this summer every one has it , when I’m by myself I feel Em crawl all over and sting every now and then but like i said if I get around another human they go crazy every one can feel them , this is insane and I know it’s not mites because mites don’t jump and/or fly , so they wouldn’t get to the face so fast . Everywhere I go in my town I see people itching and I’m almost sure it’s bugs we can’t see …

     - John doe. You’re not crazy as you already know. Ive been dealing wiyj this for a couple of years now and Doctors are useless. Yes it’s alive , microscopic and they worsen in the wet Temps .be very careful when you kill then though. They procure a toxin that is even worse and dangerous. Beware of mold remediation by anyone one who is not trained in proper removal. I say this cuz, when mold is removed if a containment is Mr used you have just made you problem 10 to 100 times worse.

       - Thanks for the input , yes I am sure we are talking about the same as it has finally hit me and come to my attention that this last year alone I have encountered many dental problems with my teeth due to this toxin you talk about , I read about the same thing happening to others teeth who experience this problem , my dog even itches now all the time too and I have tried every remedy and doctor prescribed perminthin cream for mites and no avail so I’m sure it’s not mites and it’s something unknown at the time , I even have been reading into to things that would suggest it’s common outside insects like (springtails , nymphs , aphids , Nematods, myiasis ,and uncommon mites , all of which are mostly invisible and all usually are found outside in grass ) but the theory is something has changed which now makes these insects attack and infest us at an alarming rate nationwide) possibly fungus or something else unknown …

     - John, if you don’t mind me asking, where is your town? When did it start there originally? Have a look at my comment for Johnny Brenner?

       About people having bug reactions to others near by. The bugs breath, and would smell the CO2, other people, and big infestation. Psychologists etc, might classify this as mass hysteria, because they don’t know the science behind it, and mass hysteria, in a mass hysteria may sound more important to them. The latest version of the diagnostic manual for psychiatric problems recommends to treat everything rather then dismiss it. Too many people were suffering a lot of negative health out comes from them dismissing people’s physical complaints. As your town has a long history, with a wide exposure tongue problem, you could get together with doctors and politicians to get research into thisz using your town as a test case. The guy who isolated Ross River fever, who delivered my father and used to hold surgery under a Mango Tree, was famous all his life for doing so. So, there is big kudos for researchers to be first in something like this

       About dental. I’ve just had half a sizable newer filling fall out, after I had my jaw socket go extremely loss after I developed a group of bug infested lumps over it. From fine to bad. An older Doctor OZ show, said that a certain type of bug infests the socket, and joints so, I think, and they have fine so etching to a knee joint and another joint.. That people grind their teeth because they become active during sleep. I read some doctor and or researcher on his own page comment that when he was young, he was from a butchers family, and they could tell the infested cattle, when they slit their jaw bone all the eggs would start coming out. I wonder if this is why the biting in a price of wood works in loose jaw sockets, if the back jaw pressure squashes them.

       The medical profession is very deceiving. I had a problem with my eye lashes, and on my eye, turns out micro mites cause that and they give out drops containing a natural insecticidal acid. If only they would be more open with patients and with each other. These issues might be solved by now. I certainly would have been able to research what treatments have been found to be effective out there.

312. Hello there , please i need help!

     I am feeling some very strong bites from time to time in my legs arms and goatee and in my private area and some times as I feel as if something is moving in my eyebrows . 7 months ago I had some sort of crab infestation (small rounded insects with a lot of legs all around it that used to stick in my skin in my private area ) which then I was told that I got it via a sexual session. And then I had used a lot of shampoos and lotions that contains Lindane and other chemicals. I suffered a lot back then to get rid of it and I guess that I have had some skinallergies because of those Meds I took, during that time I used to feel some of the symptoms that I’m having now . But the difference now is that I cannot find anything in my body! But I feel the bites and the feeling of something crawling or moving in my eyebrows . I sort of thing that sometimes when I search in my body I may find some very small cotton like material but not always .

     I’d appreciate any replies that might help me . Thanks in advance .

     I am really confused and I dot

     - First of all let me ask, did you get treated for the symptoms you had 7 months ago? Commenting on the small cotton ball like material you see. I have been dealing with this for 2.5 years. IT IS TERRIBLE!!!!!! I started out thinking I had lice/scabies - was treated for it and my symptoms did not go away. Then I started experiencing stinging, biting, linear scars (from bites) on my face, back, legs and arms (private area) but was NOT seeing anything for a while. Then after about 7 months of having this, I could see (in dim lighting) something that resembles a very, tiny white round cotton ball like things on my arms/legs. When they made contact with the skin they seemed to sting, then sink into the pores. I believe you have what I have and the same epidemic as quite a few on this site. There is Morgellon’s, delusional paracytosis and then there is THIS. I’ve done extensive research (being desperate to find a cure - after 7 dermatologists looking at me calling me crazy and delusional). You can read some of my other comments about the symptoms in more detail from prior posts. I believe that those cotton-ball like things you are seeing are “newborns” OR very young bugs. You can go on the CDC website and sign the petition (as I did for them to look into this NEW terrible epidemic). Thousands are suffering from this particular symptoms. I have seen some that have gotten cured, but I strongly believe that immune system plays a HUGE part in fighting these things off. I believe they are attracted to something in the body (one person has more of than the other) possibly they feed off of fungus on the skin and dead skin cells. They breed in porous material (couches, cotton clothing fabric, carpet, mattresses) and multiply extremely fast - like crazy!!!! Very fast. Here are some things you can do to abate the symptoms but it does NOT cure it. First I would follow up with your doctor to make SURE you don’t have something like scabies. If that is ruled out then try these things to sooth some of the symptoms: Essential oils are a must, tea tree oil, coconut oil, eucalyptus oil. These oils are antifungal and will keep the bugs sort of under control (as far as numbers are concerned). Buy an over the counter immune booster. I am taking cat’s claw and it seems to be helping a tiny bit. Keep your skin moisturized. Dry skin is a no no…you will itch first off and then there will be no barrier to protect your skin from them biting so much. Oatmeal packets to help with the biting symptoms, borax laundry soap/oxiclean (and there is something called Kleen Green you can get from ebay/amazon seems to have helped me with them being less in my clothing) wash your clothes in hot, hot water. Bleach too…of course not for your colored clothes. Some people say bathe in hot water…NO!!!! Luke warm to cool. Hot water seems to make them go crazy and attack plus the heat is not good your skin…it will only make you itch more and become more irritated. You can also mix some of the essential oils in your bath. Neosporin mixed with Hydrocortisone 1% or Triamcinolone crème (prescribed by your doctor). Also try an antibiotic from your doctor (for parasites). The Ivermectin I took DID NOT help me at all, but you can try - has to be prescribed. Tea tree and eucalyptus are very strong - I have to dilute it, but if you can rub some in your gotee/face/arms/legs and even put a bit in anti dandruff shampoo like head and shoulders - it helps. They hate it! You MUST bathe (I take a shower in the morning and then a bath in the evening)…it helps me get at least 3-4 hours of sleep per evening. Try and stay away from cotton clothing. Don’t use washcloths as they breed in those. You can find on ebay/Amazon other type fabric washcloths to use. I would recommend disposable wash clothes. ONLY KEEP OUT WHAT YOU USE. Bag up anything else in your closet and/or put them in plastic bins. Use microfiber covers NOT COTTON!!! No cotton. 91% alcohol in a spray bottle keep it handy by you. Spray around you…it kills those cotton ball looking thingies. You may also see some black dots in your covers…bottom of the tub…this is also the bugs. Weird. You can also put a cap full or 2 in your bathwater of bleach. I stopped doing this because your skin IS an organ and part of your immune system resides there. Bleach does kill some of the bugs, but it ALSO breaks down the immune system of your skin. Get you a multivitamin (if you already don’t have one). If you have carpet you MUST steam clean often. If not, mop, wipe down surfaces (they can breed on surfaces I’ve found also…gggrrr! Kleen Green breaks down the bug (enzymes). Some people say Diatomaceous earth (consumable). Eh…didn’t work for me, but it did clean me out. You can also use Epsom salt in your bath water AND also to take orally to clean you out….now that DOES help also. Some say change your diet…tried that…lost 35 lbs but still bugs so…I’m indifferent about that. Good Luck and stay hopeful.

       - Thanks Sandra,

         I am really helpless about it and worried . I feel that people around me might be itching because of this like when I’m driving with friends I notice as if they’re catching something because I see them itching so I think it’s infectious is that possible? Although I have been able to sleep good last night that I thought It’s gone but , now I’m at work and I think I’m having the symptoms again but not as strong as the last couple of days . I’m thinking of shaving my legs and my beard 😦 . 7 months ago i had a sexual intercourse and 24 hours later or maybe less I started feeling sting bites in my private are and was able to see some insects which is as I described in my previous writing , a rounded insect with lot of legs all around it , it goes into the skin and almost same color as your skin so you don’t notice it easily unleash you itch and it comes out of it and if u press it it pops and u can see it filled with blood back then I have shampoos and lotions that contains a material called Lindane which I think it’s a chemical thing. Then I started seeing those creatures falling dead while showering , days later I started feeling some less stings but without seeing these insects anymore but, a shinny little silk like material which I’ve been told that it’s their eggs . So now I think what i have might be these shiny silk material things or the tiny cotton like fabric things . Now I’m washing my clothes daily and changing the bed and mattresses covers as possible as I can .

         I’m just worried that it might cause me problems at work ! I think I’ll shave tonight and probably go back to taking the chemical material shampo in hope of getting a result . Thanks again for your kind reply and would appreciate any more replies . And I will never do any sex relation without washing my self out for hours after it as I think this thing comes from any possible sperm leftovers on the skin and not washed well

       - It is possible that people around you are itching. When I got it, I noticed that there was a nest like looking thing in the AC vents in the house I was renting a room (two roommates - including me). We both experienced first the fuzzy white egg looking thing (which seemed to have a very small stinger on the end if you look closely). The other roommate was able to fight them off. I got it full-blown for some reason and have had it ever since summer 2014. I have moved since then and still live with two other people (notifying them of my problem when they moved in) but for SOME reason they are totally NOT affected by them at all. One reason I believe is that it probably is because I wash daily my sheets, pillow cases, towels used night before…everything in hot water. If you get them under some control you can keep them small - seeing them has a psychological effect…not to mention what you are already dealing it. It can be very isolating feeling when nobody around you believes you and THEN you get the deer caught in headlights look when you go to the Dermatologist or doctor and try to explain and they look at you and hand you a psych referral. One other thing I was going to mention (in which I am going to try). My was told they HATE cedar oil. So I am going to order something called Cedarcide fogger to treat carpet, clothes, furniture. They hate this cedar oil and it is supposed to kill them. Also HEPA filter air purifier in hopes of catching some jumping around. You have to treat the ENTIRE environment you frequent. Also your car. Not sure what can be done about work (I work from home) so I don’t know what is worse because I am here ALL the time and don’t go out much (be cautious that I just might infect someone else) so my battle is tremendous WITH carpet. I would suggest shaving BUT be careful - DO NOT cut yourself. See seem to LOVE open skin and will snack there (the wound will be healing slowly). It’s a bi*ch to deal with. JUST LAST NIGHT I noticed one of the shiny ones WITH a fuzzy white one jumped in my water bottle so now I have a perfect “specimen” to send to an entomologist to see what it could be (I’ve never had one before). Examining it, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS, could be. Looks like amoeba from the dinosaur era that has evolved, can’t be killed. So many opinions. Someone said they can hold their breath up to 5 hours - great swimmers, can stand emense heat/extreme hold temps. I do notice also that they use the shower head streaming water to jump back on you when being knocked off - bottom of the tub, they jump out of drain and pop back up on your feet, and swirl about around your legs onto your back. Hard to get rid of! If you look very carefully at walls/ceiling some hop off and just wait till you get out of shower and hop right back into your hair/head, legs, back, arms. It is TERRIBLE. Try to keep cost down fighting these things. I have spent thousands of dollars in the past 2 years. Now, I just use the items I recommended to you. Cleaning surface items, mopping, get a GOOD vacuum with great suction for carpets, clean, clean, clean surfaces (don’t kill yourself doing it though). Wash clothes every day. If not every day, then bag up dirty clothes. DO NOT LEAVE THEM OUT IN A HAMPER. Some will be in the clothes when you take them off. Stay encouraged. Nobody knows the suffering behind it, but it is comforting to known you are not alone. Feel free to ask any further questions you may have or want to discuss it further. whatever you do DO NOT give up, stay encouraged. I pray for a cure/answer very soon.

     - Oh my gosh! I need to talk to you and several others here. I believe see (and feel) the same thing but in different stages of their life cycle. I too, have been told I am crazy or on drugs. I’ve had them about a year. Except I decided to change tactics. I have worked in veterinary medicine 25 years (LVT) so this might be why I can do this. I communicate with them. They Re not deliberately trying to kill us. They (some of them) appear intelligent as a dog or a primate. I realized this one night when my car broke down and I waited outside for assistance to arrive. Do you see marks where they are or have been? This was the first time. They left circular patterns on the dust ! I watched them. They would not go more then 10 feet from me. They were playing! I know i sound insane so I never tell anyone. Other than my boyfriend. I’ve been doing quite a bit of research by myself. Ive worked at two CVM at major universities plus bovine genetic reproduction so I love research!
       Please don’t use my real name. I’m typing on my phone so I’m sorry for all the mistakes.

       - Hi Karen, I’m responding to your comment…I myself in the medical field for 30 years. Have had this stinking bug for almost 3 years now. Seems yes they are attracted to electricity. I have another further theory. I seem to have ALWAYS had a LOT of electricity in my body. Merely walking across the carpet (not dragging my feet) I seem to spark up from my socks. Contact with other people, they ALWAYS get shocked almost every time. I KNOW FOR A FACT these bugs are attracted to electricity. And I am wondering if the bugs are attracted to the electricity in our bodies (or those who have a bit more than others). Sitting by a lamp or light the light from time to time flickers as if they touch the bulb and swing by to get (energy) and sometimes. I have this feeling euphoric almost like I stuck my finger in a light socket. It is VERY uncomfortable and annoying. They love scalp, cheeks, neck, back, back of arms and under the feet. You can scrub all day, they dig in and into pores. If you look in dim light some seem to have wings, others flicker and flick themselves from one side of the room to the other. In your ears, you will hear a popping or high pitch hum. Annoying! Also, for whatever reason they LOVE to dig into the scalp and that is when the headaches begin. I them scrub my hair (in which I cut 1 inch in length) with eucalyptus and tea tree. They hate that. Diet seems to have a great deal to do with it, as well as what type of food we eat (I know they LOVE sugar). But I’ve noticed the electricity they seem to gravitate to the left side of my body (closest to the heart, in which is controlled by electrical currents). Don’t swat! If you swat there WILL BE hell to pay. I’ve wrote on here a few times and can’t stress this enough. If you swat, they seem to work as a unit (possibly males protecting females, or females protecting eggs?). I’ve learned if there are too many bugging me, I have to change clothes a few times a day and washing is pure hell!!! I use Borex, small amounts of bleach, tea tree, and take vitamins, still have not found a cure EVEN WITH changing diet. Immunity system must be compromised, but bloodwork is normal. Just believe some people are subject to become infected and others not. I live in a house with 2 other people and these bugs HAVE NOT/DID NOT infect any one of them AT ALL. It’s been 3 years, but we do live in separate parts of the house and I clean like a maniac. Sick of cleaning, although always have been a neat/clean person. Anyway I work at home so getting rid of these things proves impossible. Like Ivermectin there HAS TO BE a medication made that will attack these bugs at their central nervous system or something. These bugs have had time to adapt to their surroundings, must have been around for a while but within 20+ years have evolved? Pesticides DO NOT WORK. Cedarcide seems to work some people say. Unfortunately for humans there is no cure. I’ve gotten rid of my pets so they would not have to suffer (sent to a friend’s home I trust). I have NEVER SEEN anything like it. I just wish I had normal feeling skin and your psyche becomes disturbed by this. I don’t even know what normal skin feels like anymore. Scars, sores. I only had a few the duration of this. I use Neosporin and a lot of essential oils, so my skin looks great visually. Microscopically I’m sure that is another story. 8 Dermatologists, I stopped going. I was going crazy being told I was crazy (parasitic psychosis, etc.). Sigh…hang in there.

313. Namaste,

     I experience white threads appearing out of nowhere on my body, clothes and laptop. They’re thick plastic threads from 1 mm to 1 cm in size. Sometimes I spot a few a day and on some days none. Rational explanation would be they come from the carpet but these facts go against it: (1) in the carpet they are embedded, (2) even when removed from it, they’re much heavier than air and (3) the black ones which are also found in the carpet appear on my stuff only very rarely. They appear mostly in my apartment but sometimes also when I’m outside which eliminates the logical explanation of their floating up into the air from the carpet. Also, in that case they’d be found everywhere (on furniture etc.) but so far I didn’t find them accumulating anywhere else than on my body, clothes and laptop. Some suggest static electricity connection (not sure but can’t be outruled). I’m in favor of the connection to magic (had a case of black magic some years ago which may have not completely cleared). So I use anti-magic methods: bathe with salt and use protective mantras (there’re many other ways but take time and some may cost a lot). The situation stays pretty much unchanged. I’m not bothered with them, it’s just an unusual thing.
     They’re not morgellons (not growing out of skin), nor of biological nature (don’t move or bite like in cases others describe here).

317. There are so many different descriptions of infestations on this thread, I doubt that all are suffering from the same thing. Some may be mold, some Morgellons, some mites and some - as was my case - carpet beetles - which are invisible to the naked eye while they are flying and in the early larval stages, and do attack humans when present in large numbers. That is something that pest professionals deny, but they are wrong. One adult can lay one million eggs per day. If the infestation is not caught early on they can take over your home and your body. The only way you can be certain of a diagnosis is to find samples, trap them on a sticky tape and take them to a pest professional and/or a parasitologist with a good lab to find out what they are. Both mites and carpet beetles are persistent. It can take two years to get rid of them. A pest strip called nuvan kills them in the air, but you must must move out of your home for a minimum of a month to let it do its job. But first you need to determine if your problem might be mold or fungus, because no pesticide or natural oil will help you in that case.

     - Yes Leanna, you are correct in that there are many different culprits or suspects,
       Mine after investigating for almost 2 years turns out to n mold, which totally sucks, cuz there’s so many different types each different effects and then there’s the toxins…omg. nightmare city. If you like mysteries and discovering the unknown, this is a research that will always keep you on your toes. I,think it is so complicated even doctors are afraid of it.

       Personally I would love to sue the responsible parties who slowed this to happen to me and then condemned me to so thay i can nit escape it. What I would do with the money is donate the majority to some organization that is not afraid to put their all into researching it, and research it with determination at finding real solutions as opposed to the doctors all so favorite band aides, which do not work for squat. And make the public aware of the dangers. Something that guides people do their children are protected. Develope some test to recognize this and get testing approved by government. Violence & anger are both 2 of the many products of these toxins. ADHD, CONFISION. Children with problems in shool? Check it out.

318. Bingo on the fungus.aka mold. As I’ve said before, I’ve even had it tested .in two apartments and both positive. Use your camera on your phone. You can capture them on camera. The toxins are even smallw,than the spores of mold, however when in excess amounts cluttered together your can not see them with bare eye but a camera catches them. Try it in bathroom , kitchen or under intake or vent of your HVAC.
     Take the pic
     See nothing?
     Is the pic kinda yellow?
     Zoom in..does it change to spots or streaks of yellow?

319. I identified mine to be Phorid flies which vectored in Nematodes, Sand Fleas, and Spider Mites. My 4 cats had to be euthanized. These bugs are highly contagious and my entire family caught them even though we all live in 3 separate states. The nice thing about a DOP diagnosis is that it allows you to go to hotels and restaurants and not worry about the eggs on the bed or chairs. Dont worry about the worms in the laundramat dryer lint trap either. Right? The doc said DOP so technically you can go spread the problem without any liability. I wish this were not true. The Sand Fleas are like Chiggers and they enter the foot and fingers via the nails. You can see them under the nails. There are also worms in the foot. The yellow sticky liquid which shows up under the nails and feet is parasite poop. It has an odor which attracts new bugs. Please wear rubber gloves 24-7. Debride and soak feet daily. Refer to Youtube for the urine foot bathes. These worms do come out of the body during detox bathes. You need to soak for an hour because it is a slow process. Good luck!

322. When I try to record this on my camera, i see what i can best describe as “atoms” that are popping and moving around in the air. Sometimes it will be real concentrated, and other times it will relax. But there is a grey haze, or a dark shadow that will cast itself upon things. Very creepy. Does anyone else record?

     Posted by Kelly B | September 7, 2016, 8:58 am

     - Yes, I have thousands of pictures and videos.
       The haze is real. Also zoom on on your pictures. At first I was getting upset because I could never get the color ajusted right. Pictures all had a yellow tent to them. But when I zoomed in I could see it wasn’t the camera at all, there was something in the air. Sometimes so much it showed all yellow others just yellow spots. This I have come to believe is mycotoxins. This feels different it settles in my hair with a burning sensation. The spores feel different. Like something crawling kinda ticklea at times other times it’s like getting stabbed by needles.I have even gotten pictures , (magnified alot) of the spores, which are stable & do not need water. When the colonies of mold are removed carelessly, billions of spores are released into the air.. alot of these spores are toxin producing spores.Experts need samples of the air to determine their presence, I do not, I can feel them, even in the vacuum section of Walmart. Apparently, other people feel it too, but not as much as me. The just assume they need a better vacuum. Bad part is, spores are as small as .3 microns & some vacuum filters do pick them up, however mycotoxins are .1 in size. WAY SMALL. I bought an IQ AIR PRO HEALTH Air Purifier. It’s been a week and so far it has helped amazingly after 2 years of suffering, only in my home. Yes I’ve even moved 4 times. Every place has different types of spores & or mycotoxins add to my miseries. I assume it to be during to age of buildings & poor upkeep. I am in Arizona after all . Home of the crooked Justice of the Peace, oblivious property owners and greedy unethical property management companies. Bottom line unethical justice of peace most likely filling their pockets to pervert the law and condemn people to suffer and possibly death, because the are greedy .

       - Thanks Meshelle for responding so quickly. As like many others, I am a little ADD and can easily get sidetracked so your quick reply was great. I am in Washington and we have plenty of rain and wonderful terrain for mold to proliferate. (And plenty of folks here love to turn a blind eye.) I don’t understand why we don’t have more testing done with regards to mold and mycotoxins. I would imagine it boils down to mold not creating money for anyone so therefore why should we test and expend effort to know about it. Makes me mad. So great now Im mad AND crazy!!

         Anyways, i see the yellow that you see. Like pixels on a screen, the yellow will be either just a couple of pixels or a bunch will band together and create a blob. At present i happen to be more freaked out by the grey or dark shadows I see. They are mixed up right along with the yellow, but I’ll be looking at for example my ceiling, and a darkness will take over a portion of the room. Its such an odd shadow, and to me feels very ominous. It will stay for just a bit then move on. Maybe its just a step in the “process”. Mold to mycotoxin to ? Anyways gotta go. Thanks meshelle.

323. I love how people come on these message boards and say to everyone, “You have to clean your whole house everyday and be super clean.” It’s not that easy! It’s exhausting. “You have to spray everything inside your home and get your pets treated” Treat them with what, a snack? “You need to stop crying and feeling so sorry for yourself.” How can I not feel sorry for myself? You can I not feel sorry for yourself. I don’t deserve this. I’ve never stolen or hurt anyone in my life. I don’t deserve this. How can I not be bitter and angry when friends and family turned there backs on me so quickly.These people are offering advice on something they know nothing about.

They told me it is bacterial staff that’s overactive on my skin and in my blood there is no cure I can’t sleep can’t wear clothes and I have had a big guy see it a bug but John’s Hopkins entomologist could not identify it I’ve been desperate the emergency room told me to soak in a tub with bleach a little half cup to kill the bacteria it soothes my skin for awhile I have holes and marks that look like splinters under skin I think it is a new bug that leaves bacteria on the skin I’d love it if someone could tell me

     - I was just getting ready t reply to someone and I saw this and must comment. No, the bleach will not work. I used to put it on my flip flop shoes to get around the house (we must sweep 6-7 times a day) I actually put in a half a bottle of bleach. It dried my skin out and quieted them for a few hours but they came back in full force as if they saw there was extra room inside me now! Those things you are talking about I call “Dive bombers”: (sorry, dad was a bomber pilot) They will jump out at you from seemingly nowhere and dive into your skin. This opens the pathway to start the next phase. When my electromagnetism is outward they also get pulled out of me and it hurts. Usually the magnetism is inward and I have to post magnets around the room or get on the internet. they get sucked into the computer it seems though they don’t like it. I have a good photo of one taken under a microscope. they “melt” under heat unfortunately but you can see exactly the shape. It has more of a long pointed mouth like a swordfish and the fin on it’s back. Later, once inside they move around and work with the others that come in the farm. The muzzle looks more like a tiny alligator but the fin is still there plus they have legs. Where can I send you the picture?

     - some mites have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria and feed off of them. try to get a scrip for cephalexin. It wil kill the bacteria and helped me get rid of the bugs. yes, they are real. I pulled them off with tape and photographed them under a microscope. some kind of mite.

327. This advice is a “Band-Aid on a stab wound”
     This bug is 100% real I would know because I’m fighting the battle now for three weeks . I’ve been to the emergency room twice . I’ve had to exterminators come out and treat my house . I personally have bug bombed house four times. my house is spotless and always has been but, three weeks ago I noticed I was getting bit by some microscopic flying bugs on my couch at night . I flipped one of my pillows over and they’re on my pillow were hundreds of these little biting bugs. I have been at war with them since I’ve had to gut my house get rid of all Momentos and furniture and decorations and clothing . I keep my clothes I have left in the freezer because they don’t seem to like that.
     These bugs reproduce it at an alarming rate and nothing I’ve tried so far as eradicated them . This weekend I’m trying powdered sulphur on my living quarters and a silver cream on my body. I have exhausted all other attempts and techniques except for cooking my house with a propane heater .
     if anyone has any suggestions or would like to talk this is my personal phone number feel free to call me 1856 473 5183

     - If you found the bugs, collect some and get them identified. Any competent pest control professional should be able to identify them or take them to a university if you have one nearby. Once they are identified, then proper control methods can be put in place.

     - They are carpet beetles. they came in about 5 years ago from china and yes, they do attack people. I had them for three years. For me they came in because I had a rodent infestation and the landlord put out traps, so I ended up with dead rodents under major appliances that were hard to move. They can drop 1 million eggs per day and the larvae have 43 life cycles. They will eat through everything you own made of fabric. clothing, furniture, rugs. favorite food is hair, so once they run out of food sources, they will eat your hair - everywhere. buy nuvan pest strips - the big ones. put them out everywhere and leave your house for minimum 3 weeks. take nothing with you . no clothing. move in with relatives or friends. If they are ensconced on your body ( they will breed in mucous membranes, all of them) take cephalexin - an antibiotic. yes you need a scrip for it but you can order it online from abroad without one). good luck.

       “EcoSmart” to treat your home, inside and out, car, work place and clothing. Apple Cider to kill “probably Mites” from your hair and to remove the itch and pain of bites. Good Luck Anthony.

328. Hello All.
     I am horrified by what I am reading on this page! My God so many people suffering and desperate!
     I had a similar experience with Mites that came in on a new leather sofa. As a homeopathic healer and someone who has always lived a natural and organic approach to life (50 yrs) it was very difficult to rid my home of these obnoxious little suckers! They are invisible and their bites itch like nothing else! I tried everything ” NATURAL” of course.
     it took over a year, but they are gone.

     Through this journey I discovered “EcoSmart”, Great stuff and “IT WORKS” for everything from Mites, Silverfish, Crickets, to Brown Widows! And IT IS completely Natural, Organic and SAFE FOR YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND PETS!

     To treat Bites use “Apple Cider Vinegar”, it kills the itch and critters in a matter of seconds/minutes. Apple Cider is safe for you as well as your pets, it can sting a little, but it is well worth the pay off.

     Give this approach time. It took a while for what ever has infested your home, yard and life to take over and it will take a while to get rid of them, don’t be afraid to treat once a week at first, then every few weeks, every few months, and so on.

     Also….. Apple Cider Vinegar also kills “Head Lice” with no chemicals. I am sure of this because I just helped some one resolve this problem that infested their whole family :-(….. They figure that they picked the lice up at a movie theater….. See how the suckers can move into your life. It is not really about your personal hygiene, it just happens. To deal with head lice…. Wash hair, skin and body with straight, undiluted Apple Cider Vinegar. leave on for 3 to 5 minutes, repeat once per day for 3 days to make sure that all eggs are killed. Was all clothing and bedding
     in HOT water and White Vinegar. ( If you wan, you can treat sofas, pillows and inside of your vehicle with ” Eco Smart”. Good Luck All!! Remember… This too shall pass ❤

     I am happy to answer any other questions. ~Susan~

     - I only wish mine could be as simple as this. I’ve had them about a year (or more) I used to wash my hair with apple cider vinegar 3 times a day for about 3 weeks. i have learned that they are fairly intelligent. I ‘ve been to so many doctors!! My contagious disease specialist said most test for a specific parasit came back negative and she didn’t believe me either. They same thing happened when I got Lyme disease in the early 1990’s in Florida. Finally, someone checked me when I was working on animals shipped down from Connecticut. I was in college of Veterinary Technology. When I went there was only 6 or 7 schools in the US. I’;m licensed as a LVT in 3 states and in all three we can do everything the vet can do except three things. We are more like a nurse practitioner than a Licensedd vet Technolgist Nurses only have one animal to remember everything on. We have at least 12 from sheep, pigs, horses, dgs, cats, snakes “pocket pets” mice , gerbil; and similar Veterinarians are not as happy and love animals like you imagine. I’ve worked with them 25 years but refuse to work in private practice, so I teach the “hands on” for 3rd year students at the vet school. I had one that didn’t even check me out but sent in a psychologist. I was so angry! I wish I could remember his name and turn him in. They would probably believe him anyway. I feel like an ass and I feel extreme anger when they would say, it’s in my mind. Another thing is they think I’m doing drugs so they run a drug screen without my permission. they tell me (all of them) that I signed the small print when I came in. Everything was negative so since it’s neg—by gosh-it’s negative and “I cannot help yu” she said I may have Morgellions. and she can’t or wont heal that. So someone PLEASE help me. I wasn’t to get a grant from the government and study this. Many times I had to work in research on animals (not make up or other crap) such as the Titanium allow used in Total Hip Replacement. That study was exactly 5 years. Did you notice the people on tv that are suing the doctor or the maker od this stuff was after they wore it 5 years? Anyone want to use my testimony in a case against the Titanium Alloy in Total Hip or Knee Replacement. I’ll do it. I was the HEAD Licensed veterinary Technician in those studies. All 75 dogs we used we greyhounds that gamblers that they were too old to run anymore. Every morning I pulled in the Vet schol and pulled into my parking place. They were all there jumping on their cages thinking “oh boy! Mom’s home!” My poor sweeties. I gave them the best second half of their life they could ever have. I brought them treats too. But please, let me know if I can work on this with someone!!. LVT’s are the best to do this because we will not let any harm come to our patients. Two PhD candidates were thrown out f the PhD program because i told them what they did to my (ours- the school) mice. One lady spoke of a hair following her finger. I am for some reason more magnets than most people. When there is a lot of electricity in me my ears ring, I call this thing with my moving hair “the dance” and place my finger because she/he will follow. I can also place it at one of my scares from 9 months ago. they eat the skin inside but in this area, no skin cells. Usually they all come to me when I start talking to them. Also, but only sometimes if I cant find then I will place my right index finger (strongest magnetic pull) I could not win and they have eaten a loot and a half off my Used-to-be-beautiful long, blond, hair, Now I can see the back of my neck. I talk to them in a slow soft tone. They stopped biting but they are still there. I think they bite because people are swatting them away and THEY fear for their life smeone mentioned “from another planet” and I used to think that and possibly still fo. Inside each strand of hair are those black dots. I have a microscope and the black dot is actually 2 black dots help together., like holding hands. I don’t know what that mean. right now I’ve got 3 r 4 different life stages. The little ones are cute and hide under my finger and toe nails. They used to sting me but not in 10 months. I see these long white/transparent tentacle come out from under my nails. First they make the nail go back to the shorter and that when yu realize that is nt you nails so long. It not from another planet then our own government. they appear to act like Nano robots, very, very small. How can they understand other languages and Arabic writing.? then sme were letters I’ve never seen.e;;? In several languages. They even copied 2 signatures! I have photos of some of these things. I used to have them all but they started self replicating on my cell and computer, thus deleting them by themselves. what to you think about that? If anyone has noticed they will be calm and send (to me) lots of smiley faces. They sent scary faces at first. If anyone agrees with starting some research and Is able to communicate with them, then we need to talk. ne email address is karen zimm-ONE WORD (write number seventy-five as the number 7 and after that 5.

329. I’m so sorry t hear about your problem. I have a very similar problem and no one believes me.. I am descusted… I feel like I’m all alone and no one cares… I took what I was finding to the hospital and they tested it and said it was noseeums… I have cuts in my bottom lip and it seems as though eggs keep hatching, I feel like I have glass in my lip and it hurts like crazy . Especially at night. My lip bleeds every day and it’s scaring my lip… I need help and the hospital tells me not to come there they don’t deal with this type of problem… So I go to another Dr. And they are acting like I’m crazy. And to be honest I’m not crazy but this crap is making me crazy… If someone knows what type of Dr. Or specialist I need please tell me

     - I’m a veteran of this - docs won’t help you because whatever this is they do not characterize it as a parasite and don’t have it in their books. the pest control guys are no help because they don’t understand that bugs they even know actually attack people and breed in mucous membranes. there is a solution : nuvan pest strips - the big ones - all over your home. you have to leave for 3 weeks and air out when you return. also take cephalexin antibiotic. a lot of people here recommend eco natural pesticides made from natural oils. that may work also.

       - I have found some info I suggest you all read. It seems to fit all the characteristics of this problem. I hope it helps.
         Keep in mind that if bird mites are not treated correctly, even if the correct chemicals are used, they can become resistant to those chemicals. Don’t use a pest control company unless they have extensive experience treating bird mites.

         Both D. Gallinae and NFM are documented in numerous research journals as being a nuisance pest on many species of birds, wildlife, domesticated animals and even humans. It is quite clear that bird mites are not host specific, and they have adapted very well to a changing environment (as mites tend to do).

330. My sister insists she can feel bugs jumping, crawling, biting and burrowing into her. She constantly sprays ivermectin and permethrin pesticides throughout her house, on herself, and her pets. No one else is experiencing these bugs but, after being exposed to all the chemicals, I have developed respiratory problems. Her doctor says it’s all in her head but she claims they’re real. Even her pets are being adversely affected. Please help!

     - She needs to quit spraying the pesticides. They won’t help but they will harm her pets and make her situation worse. What she has is internal and not a pest. Her body is reacting to some chemicals, either chemicals she has consumed in food or external chemicals like pesticides.

334. I’ve been studying in my textbooks about these bird mites and they most likely could not use us?as a host. So I checked deeper as to where this came from. It seems that one of the largest illegal methanphetamine and/or Cocaine producers also doubles as a bird sanctuary (as a cover). It reads further that where they keep the drugs must be near the feed. It sounds a bit far fetched but people from all classes use cocaine
     and/or ice meth. From physicians to homeless. I just looked it up on another drug website andit repeatd’s what I just wrote. I think I wrote before that I’ve had them over a year and I don’t fear them anymore. .i mentioned there are quite a few in motels as I’ve been living in a couplesince the floor. I stayed in a tent for about 4 nights Ns my boyfriendand I noticed there were only 1/4 of them left. I live in Houstonso it’s only in the 50-60 ar night. Yesterday we moved back into a Different motel and they are back! I see them in public rest rooms (or signs they have?bbben there) and the numbers are increasing. Maybe they came here on an asteroid or possibly they were created because they go nuts Rd computers and are “intligent” in several ways. The white dots cover almost 100% of my body. If I make a small slice in my skin or a tiny cut I don’t bleed. I see the white dots that look at me with shiny eyes and what looks like fake skin. The hair like one sewn into my clothes. I had tons of , blue or pink and white fibers but just move aittle not like the Tan “worms” that look lineage freckles. The fibers are the least of my worries. My boyfriendis covered in scars all over his legs and back from these things. Mu scars were covered up by “sewing”. Some will respond to my voice when I speAk calmly and not freak out and try scratching their picking out the black dots. Thereis either more than one type or many life cycles. I would like to do further researchon this. I’ve worked in veterinary medicine for 25 years mostly in research.

335. I just read what I wrote and I sound totally insanely. Im not. There are so many mistakes because I am writing on my Android. The writing is small and these things have affected my vision dramatically. I have insurance so i have been going to an ophthalmologist. My vision damage cannot be reversed with glasses or lasix. I’ll use a magnifying glass before I post this to check for mistakes. I repeat that the worst of this started in April when we had a flood. The house I was renting was totally flooded but FEMA would not help me. I lost everything including my job since my car sat underwater the wires were flooded out and eventually broke. My car caught on fire going home one day. That is where one looses income. So I remained inside that house with mold and fungus and many types of parasite eggs coming up from below the ground. Many types of eggs can lie dormant underground for 10 years or longer. As soon as we walked into this new hotel room we could feel electricity(
     or what feels like electricity or magnets) all over us beginning at our feet and lower legs. This hotel has recentlybeen redone. I’m not sure if it was flooded out but We thought it might be safe since no one has lived here in many months.We can’t leave as the only way to get away from them even slightly is to sleep outside.
     We can’t do that now because its too cold. My long hair is about 1/4 to 1/2 ” long in the back now. Another thing I’ve noticed since the beginning is the bed moves slightly or it feels like a small dog on the bed but when we look there is nothing. And then unless I get up and move I can feel them on me. They do get scared and shiver went I jump up to retaliate. I don’t do that anymore or a try not to because I know they are not trying to kill me. Just looking for food and shelter. Unfortunately, i am the food and my body is their shelter but they also eat whatever i am eating. Especially with sugar. They begin by living under your fingernails and toenails. The two kinds in this room are 1) about one half to One millimeter long with many many legs. Sort of like a centepide but I think that’s actually a bunch of them together to move faster because under the microscope I can see loose “fibers” that when they come loose will attach back onto the group. These are both subcutaneous and intestinal. Plus. 2) The next are most likely both but im not sure about intestinal. They are flat and round ans sometimesI can see ans feel them. They are a little slimy but will feel soft when they get largeenough to cover our arm or leg. They have long tentacles all around that can strech into a VERY strong transparent tentacle that can sting if you try to hurt them on purpose. Thet are very light in weight except when larger we can scoop it all together onto an arm or lap and can definately feel the weight difference. They communicate with me and even respond to calm TONE. If one screams and yells they will sting when trying to get them off. I’m not insane. I guess all my years in veterinary medicine is what made me want to even TRY to communicate. All life has a reason for acting the way it does. Survival being #1.

336. Been dealing for over a month now with pin prick bites and white sand like things coming from Scalp and body- I had major tiny white things all on the inside of my clothes when I removed them- almost like dead skin cells, but I felt so pinchy. This is what I have done and I feel so much better-buy ecosystem natural pesticide spray, smells bad but has cloves along with other natural things, even put some spray in with detergent when washing my bedding and clothing in the washing machine. Started using Tee Tree/Eucalyptus/peppermint Shampoo and Tea tree soap from Trader Joes along with a liquid black soap- they sell them with citris or peppermint or can buy the matching Tee Tree body wash from Trader Joes- i am not found of Eucaliptus so I buy the black soap eleswhere. I have on my own added a few drops of pepperment and citronella to my liquid body wash. SO I USE BOTH THE TEE TREE BAR SOAP AND SOME BLACK LIQUID SOAP WITH CITRUS AND ADDED A FEW DROPS OF CITRONELLA AND PEPPERMINT- YOU DONT HAVE TO ADD THE PEPPERMINT IF YOU BUY THAT SOAP WITH THE PEPPERMINT IN IT OR YOU CAN BUY THE MATCHING TEE TREE BODY WASH FROM TRADER JOES, SAME AS SHAMPOO AND JUST ADD LIKE 3 DROPS OF CITRONELLA IN IT. You should add the few drops of citronella to what ever body wash you decide on and peppermint also- I purchased from Amazon some oils.
     Also purchased SkinLogic SKIN CREAM from Earthfare- a skin fungal cleaner - it has tea tree and oregano oil along with other things in it- use very little all over. I felt better the second day of using all this stuff, the first day I had less bites then the second day even less, this is my 3rd day and I am feeling so much better, I will continue to use all of these things they are all natural. Also Take a good PROBIOTIC from Earthfare- I had to do a low dose because I have never taken any before and EAT RAW GARLIC, I am waiting for garlic pills I ordered, I rather take the pills than stink of garlic every day…..I noticed if I eat sugary things there is a little activity or if I put my computer on my lap as well… I hope this all helps….
     Before starting with the above regimen- I read the internet day and night and tried different things- nothing worked. I have done many things within the past month including washing clothes and beddings over and over- in hot water with detergent and some Borax, major vacuuming, sprayed my house and couches down with 3 different pesticides including one that was bad for you, sprayed everything with hydrogen peroxide and salt, sprayed at one time everything with rubbing alcohol and another time sprayed with Apple Cider Vinegar(never again). I have wiped my body down with rubbing alcohol, with Apple Cider vinegar including my scalp and have done other things to try to get rid of these biting things- I don’t even know what I have or had. Hopefully I have found what will get rid of them for good, no one else in my house has what I am going through. Is it Morgllons, No-seeums, Skin Fungus, Collembola, Dermodex mite or a mite of some kind or -don’t think it was scabies, I have tiny red pin like bites and had burning sensations on my arms and legs - originally had —I think flea bites on bottom of legs that went away before i had the rest of my body itch like crazy—my dog had fleas for the first time and I bathed her about 5 times and got rid of them also no infestation in my home because I acted fast….. I have a dermotoligist appointment coming soon-yes had to wait weeks for an appointment called every office around….. Regular Dr. took a look and said it was probably flea bites took red, white blood and tyroid testing and said everything great your fine, bulls…t —most Dr. dont even know what you have so save your money…. Will see what the dermatoligist says when I show him all the white little and black pepperlike things I saved in a baggy…….

338. This to the lady that says that she has something crawling under her skin I’ve experienced the same thing and come to find out It is a form of mold my fsmily got infested from an old building i invested in for our salon in Tulsa Oklahoma at 51st and Yale and $202,000 in it and there are things called volatile organic compounds basically they are a mutation from chemicals that are left in Old buildings like a dry cleaners what you need to do is Google the National Institute of Health mold toxins and vocs and SBS sick building syndrome, my kids wife and i got sick I lost 70 pounds the hospital sent me home to die feb 9, 2016. these living organisms are mobile and shoot Sports and it’s usually from a mold-infested area where water damage has occurred over a long period Of time and he’s write about certain types of foods these things getting your skin and then start like mold in your follicles and the hairs will grow two and three and four out of one hair if feels like you got an army of ants crawling under your skin, for women it’s a lot more painful I learned how to extract it out of my skin after trying several things and didn’t realize how dangerous this infection can be because the only time your contagious is wen erradication occurs its a great idea to get UV bulbs that are shielded you can even get them for your vents in your heating and air conditioning put the lights in an area that the rays will reach as far as it they can in the air conditioning ducts and it will kill all bacteria to and from, they’re using these UV lights in surgeries now and it keeps people from getting staph infection during surgeries the reason why I think we’re still alive as I started taking 25 different types of pills that are used in conjunction with this infection I just consider it an infection of mold species of some sort because you look like you have like you said dirt On your skin and that is mold mites you can take activated charcoal and it will erradicate them and they will come to the top, i use mane and tail shampoo it’s got a bacterial agent that kills up to 99% microbial and it sounds like you’ve probably got it in your space of living I would take tea tree oil and mix it with water and spray it all over your house on everything everywhere around everything and under, keep all areas of floor dust free because the mold mites are attracted to dust wash your clothes twice wash your bedding every day take a bath in the morning you can actually take a vinegar bath put a very strong Epsom salt with lavender in the water soak in it for about an hour and my wife started using a pill that you dropped in the water let it dissolve first before she gets tub well I can’t tell everything over the Webb we’re in litigation over this mess and by the way to all of those who don’t believe people like us I’m literally watching my wife die , she did not drink enough water when she was growing up and even into her forties and sit and watch the stuff come out of her skin is unbelievableand then all the people that didn’t do anything for us or for this lady that I’m sending this message to it’s a shame that only two states within the United States even recognize these volatile sporing species New Jersey and California congratulations you’re on top of the world because of Tulsa Oklahoma there so backwards ass you could tell them that their noses falling off their face on the carpet sit there and catch it and said No it didn’t I’ve got pictures and filmed at these things that are in this building I guess the $200,000 and lost it all we had to dispose of all of our equipment within one year we lost everything send me an email address and I’ll talk with you about it and I’ll even show you the pictures its so unreal its almost sifi’ish hell it is
     pray for those who this

339. Thank you, Linda. Some of the things you suggested have been on this site before so i really MUST TRY. Ive been eating the yogurt with probiotics. I cant eat much as Im only 5 feet tall. (Activa - fuit fuzion tastes good and only 90 calories a serving) You definately do not have demodex mites as its not zoonotic. The sarcoptic mite (scabies) is zoonotic, in fake very contagious. Many times we give them to our pets and them blame them for giving it to us! (LOL!!) The small bites (smaller than mosquitoe bites) on the lower half of your leg sound like flea bites. They can jump the equivolant of 11 stories for us. Also the eggs can lay dormant until the optimum time to hatch. So unless you vaccum and take out the bag to the outside garbage can they will be a part of the family. Ive beard about the apple cider vinegar many time. One person drinks it and swears it works for him. Good for him! 🤗I have tried washing my hair with it AND DRINKING IT! Nothing. I smell like Italian dressing for my salad! (LOL) I’ve found a couple of good sites and even a doctor, unfortunately in another state, that treats Morgellens Disease. WWW. Morgellonsresearchgroup.org another very similar is morgellons-research.org and plain morgellons.org. Lately Ive been hearing ot about some connection between Mogellons and Lyme Disease. I picked up Lyme back around 1992 from one of my patients ticks and had IV antibiotics for one month. (I work in vet med)The best at that time was Rocefin. Wow, thats a lot of antibiotics!! They don’t seem the same to me, personally. Good luck!

340. This may give you some relief all humans have mites that are microscopic on there bodies some more then others it depends on the cleaness and chemicals put onto the body and im talking hundreds of little microspoic organism late live on the human body you might also just be more or extremely sensitive to them its possible anything is possible just because doctors say there is not and there is no physical evidence or no diagnosis does not meen that you are not feeling what you are feeling go with how you feel there are plently of illness and disease in this world that go unexplained and undiagnosed that affect millions of people on earth but i will say if you try not to think about it and keep a positive mind set it will help but i understand completely how it would feel to be in pain everyday i suffer from alot of health problems from genetics passed down and all the doctors can do is fill us up on meds and man made drugs when there is plently of naturals ways to work around it and the more you use your mind to shield you the stronger and better feeling you become and im not saying just tell yourself there is nothing wrong with me not at all but the mind is capable of anything and can cure you of your absolutely horrible pain morgellons could also be a probibility i have researched about it and it sounds a little different then what you are talking about but i hope this help and i am very sympathetic to your pain and hope that sense 2012 you have found someone to help you sense the doctors will not.

342. Is it possible this might all be an allergic reaction? Possibly yeast allergy causing the nose to get inflamed and the skin to flare up.
     It would help to avoid breads for a while among other things that have yeast in them such as alcohols etc.

     Also, being super clean. Taking multiple showers and using a strong brush to clean the skin. I’m talking both dry and wet skin brushing along with long bath if possible.

     I’ve experienced similar issues and some of these are what worked for me silghtly. Still not there yet.

344. I just opened a page on Facebook named “A Closer Look at Morgellons”. I have video of things I have not seen on other Morgellons sites. Especially the hair. (not hair) that stAnds up straight and sets back down all together. You can probably see only about 20 I’m the groups at a time. My hair hS lost a good 18 inches off the back. Under the microscope they lived together inside the strands. The black dots. Later they come together and look frightening but they themselves are actually frightened. They are trying to stay alive just like you and I. I believe they are partially engineered by humans but then somehow got out the door and now a hybrid with things from our plant. That’s an educated guess. I used to work in a bovine genet reprodtion lab. We also genetically reproduced a couple of other animals. I never saw anything like that happenings. We were splitting X and Y chromosomes Plus a few other things I’m saying if one wanted to it could be done In a lsn such as this. No one is watching..

345. I had this same problem to stop it I left everything I owned period! And moved no more bites scars or problems! Do not take furniture bedding clothing or anything! Even if u have to go to a nursing home rent room whatever u can do! Anything you can’t let go of spray with nature spray for insects double bag store in closeable plastic containers try to store outside ur living area. My dog was being eaten alive too moving & a steroid shot stopped my 2 year life in pure hell! You are not crazy & something really is eating you alive. I believe in the Lord too but giving up everything I mean everything & moving to non carpeted place was all that cured me. I’m so sorry but you’re not nuts some type mite bug something is doing this to millions of people too. God Bless you but run run leave it all behind I mean ALL

346. I hope what I’m about to say can possibly help the people who are going through exactly what I’m going through… I have been getting eaten alive since 2008, and it’s now 2017! They are invisible except in the right lighting. They are microscopic white and round flying bugs that love clothing, hair, and skin. They are immune to Raid, Raid Bombs, and every other type of bombing I’ve tried. Off Bug spray helps a little bit, but I still feel the crawling even when I’m covered in it! I know deet is really bad for you, so I only use it as a last resort if I’m really getting badly attacked. They are even immune to below freezing temperatures! One night when it was only 7 degrees Fahrenheit outside, I turned off my heat and opened all of my windows in my house at 11 PM and I slept in my car until about 6:30 AM. I woke up and it was still only 15 degrees. I hardly got bit at all in my car surprisingly, but within a minute or so after walking into my house I started feeling the crawling and biting again! The only somewhat good thing is I do get relief when they die off for 12-16 days on average. I write down their life cycles. The first night I’ll feel sporadic crawling out of the blue. I write it down. It progressively gets worse throughout the day. By the first night they are back in full force for the next 12-16 days. Then they die off as quickly as they were born and I get 13-15 days of peace, on average. I am not crazy, and these cycles have been happening non stop for nine years now!! I moved down to Georgia from Long Island last year for business, and the same cycles have been happening here as well.
     When they are alive, they are definitely the most active at night usually about an hour after it gets dark. During the day I’ll still feel them crawling and biting, but it’s nothing like it is at night. I’m on day number three of their newest life cycle right now and I am getting bit like mad as I type this! My go-tee and hair on my head are covered in them, and I feel crawling all over my body! I shower every day and I’m very clean. I’m a very healthy person who still plays sports and works out at 37 years old. They even bite me while I’m taking a shower if I take one at night! The problem is when I scratch where they bit me, it really starts to itch and even burns sometimes. Like I said, I have a go-tee and they love hanging out in there. The hair on my head and my go-tee are where I usually feel the first crawling. If this were in my head, I wouldn’t have crawling in my facial hair and all the other hair on my body. I can see the hair on my arms and even the hair on my go-tee slightly move when a bunch of them land on them. I have dark hair so I can see them on my hair if I shine a light on it. They look like white little round specks. If I were crazy or just imagining this, there wouldn’t be precise two week on and off cycles of these things biting me for nine years straight! This is real and nobody knows what they are! The only things that have helped a little bit is putting a large square fan and sealing it in my window blowing the air out. I would prefer to kill them instead of sucking them out of course, but I don’t know how to do that? Another new trick I’ve been trying which seems to also help a little bit is getting a 30 gallon plastic garbage bag, fully opening it and walking around and spinning in circles in whatever room I’m in. Then I seal the bag up while I’m still circling the room. Then I put the bag into the fan and slowly push the air out of the bag blowing them out the window. I have the fan on high too, so hopefully it’s killing most of them when they hit the blades?
     These things are little terminators that have owned me for years, so maybe it’s not killing them, but it’s definitely getting some of them out of my house. The only other thing I do that helps slightly is vacuuming around the house, and then I use the attachment that you’d use to vacuum corners of a room with and I walk around the house with it and vacuum the air trying to suck in whatever bugs I can. I also vacuum my hair & go-tee. The vacuum helps, but not that much. When I try to go to sleep, I keep the sealed fan in my window sucking them out, but I also have two other big fans that I lay right next to me with one by my head, and the other by my feet on the bed that I keep on medium to help blow the bugs away from me, and to keep them from landing on me. That actually helps a lot in letting me get to sleep even though it’s only pushing them to the other side of the room. Even doing all of this stuff, they always come back 13-15 days after they die even though I fully vacuum my entire house, and wash all my clothes and bed linens after they die off. They always come back. I wish somebody knew a way to spray something that would kill these things and prevent them from coming back. If I can’t find a way to kill them eventually, I will literally be dealing with these things eating me alive for the rest of my life. If they haven’t gone away in nine years, they will never go away. I am not kidding either.

     - II got on your website a couple of months ago there was a woman telling how she’d lost everything including her friends and her job, how everyone hinks she’s crazy! You seem to be beating around the bush about what’s really wrong! These people don’t have ghost bitting bug syndrome! Its taken a lot of research but its really something that no ones going to believe till you read it!!! If everyone who reads this and feels like they have bugs crawling on your skin and you can’t see them there really there it’s just that there under your skin!! I know cause my wife and my two daughters and myself all got infected by “””” get ready for it”‘””ZYGOMYCETES”””” get on your laptop type in search “ZYGOMYCETES Disease in Humans NIH” that’s right the NIH -STANDS FOR NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH 96 pages of what causes all diseases in humans motile sporing pathogens that infect humans one of the signs is feeling like bugs are crawling on your skin but really they’re under your skin!!! Thrse links will lead you to 6 branches of the motile species that make up over 150,000 species world wide this page will even state that they believe there are over 1.5 million there are ways to eliminate these infections cause if you don’t well everyone Is different like us I’ve kept my wife alive and I’ve even learned self taught how to extract these things, they are a species that’s been around for generations they like molding damp dark old buildings houses anything that’s ran down they are motil not mobile they move off vibration of there cells and usually travel along sewer lines that’s right if you don’t believe me you’ll apologize cause most doctors have never heard of it or they’re just plain lying even your health departments city officials and police officers act like they don’t know what your talking about but and that’s a big BUT the cats out of the bag!!! I’m thinking about starting a web page to help people and my daughter and my wife and I all want to be advocates to make it a law were if someone knowingly rents or sales you a space with any kind of these species and gaind a $1 they should be charged with manslaughter charges cause these things are real and people are knowingly renting apartments homes and commercial spaces not carrying if you get sick but to make money at our expense and this NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HRALTH web site states that over 1,500,000 children under the age of 5 years of age die from these sporing species that the health system has known about for 100s of years so please log on and save the link cause they will remove these docs but there are other copies out there and let the bug know if you back us thanks bug guy

347. Go to home depot and rent a 160,000 btu propane heater and get a small tank of propane. Take it home and close all external door and windows. Open all doors and cabinet and drawers and closets. Turn the heater on full and put a easy to read thermometer that goes up to 140 F. Leave the heater in a place that it is not pointing at any furniture.

     Leave the apartment and let the apartment be 140 F and all bugs will be dead within 3 hours.

348. April 1st 1990 I was admitted to a hospital when I was close to death passing out from all the chemicals I was using like kwell lotion , Liane, Raid. . April 3rd I had a near-death but was pushed back. it was my time to die. I had all the same symptoms in that letter. I woke up with total amnesia. I can understand completely. I am allergic to the old dust in garages real Dusty areas and just plain dust as well. I fully believe that they we dust mites and nasty things in the dust. I hope this helps. if I get really crazy with itching because of this are you clear Caladryl lotion and take a Valium. Showers help to cold ones. just want you to know not the only one.

350. Ok i have been reading any and everything i lay my eyes on because i have been experiencing the same bug. I know exactly when and where i got it from. I had been partying one night (not gloating but explains the place i was). In the house i had stayed over at was in need of a complete rebuild and the bedroom i was in had a bed, couch, dresser, etc. So i took the couch which was in front of a roted window. The glasd was gone already and it was working on the windowsill. And some of the siding. Everything was fine as far as bug until th next day. 90° heat and the friend i came with was cleaning out the room and fixing it for himself. Well there was a big solid metal sheet that was between the couch and the window anf wall. Life was happening and people shiftung around which only left myself and another female there alone. So as we sat talking both of us were feeling bites work their way up our legs, our entire bodies. Both of us kept trying to jump in the shower to was whatever it was off at this point i was thinkin we had gotten into insulation because there was nothing you could see ever but their bites would make you jump and scream out, which they still do.. This happened 10 months ago now and not only do these nasty little bug bite any time you break a sweat you can feel them all over because they run around. Now with my kids making me feel crazy. And i live with my mother which has joined in on making fun of me for everything. So much so i sometimes think hell maybe i am but get a reminder quickly as the crawl, bite, or deside to use my own hair to torture me. It you hold one of my hairs out it swirls it bends it moves-crazy. So im determined to see one of these bugs because im a cancer survivor from an incureable cancer had a stem cell transplant, major depression, anxiety, and of course a drug attack so im already dealing with enough to have put enough crazy in me but to have your mom and adult children make fun of you, well it pisses me off. Ive spent my far share of time with a flashlight a mirror and some twizers. Which only had incuragags the teasing but i finally started seeing tiny little black spots like fuzz and my clothes would be covered in fuzzies which got big enough to see move. The fuzzies of cloth or whatever it found was moving then id see dark spots on myface & shoulders are covered in “freckles” which i didnt have but very few . then i had something sticking out of my stomach,small white worm. Grosses me out but if you scratch those dark spots the center stays like it was but 4 little places come out surrounding that spot until i can remove the spot it then leaves one hole in the center the size of a pencil lead and those 4 spots around it once you remove the very stretchy worm looking things. I know im the kind of crazy that most people get but these are taking it overboard.i was once told by dr that id have to find a dr office with that uv light thing but you tell them why and i never see the light or dr again. Please help.

     - Sounds like bedbugs to me. You will never see them if you sleep deep at night. They eat then hide before you wake up. I just this month moved into a bedbug infested room. I had over 600 bites on me and I didn’t see them until one was crawling on my face and it woke me up and I smacked it dead. I knew nothing about bedbugs so I studied them. They smell out exhalations and are attracted to our heat.

       I stayed awake in the dark the next night with my Cree flashlight ready. Every 20 minutes I would get up and shine the flashlight and find them. I killed 187 bedbugs of all sizes the first night.

       If you want to know how I got rid of all of them in 2 weeks email me at epicstone@yahoo.com.

     Now ankle swelled and today 1000s of black dots are soaked inside my shoe, ER nurse will say the same thing that I went in last time. Staph infection. Happens once a month leg gets hot as hell, painfully subsides in a week. Not this time.

     I told her I thought I might have a parasite she’s so no you don’t and I wouldn’t repeat that the too many people around here.

     - To add I have major headache. Right ear ache.
       The sticking a needle in my feet sensation occurs 20-30 times a day. Until I cut out a template from the thinnest sheet metal.
       If it was pinworm it would die in a few days without eating any sugar. Rotate my shoes now too one pair a day rotate every 3 Rd day. Still there.
       ONE MAJOR POINT I forget to mention
       EVERYTIME I TOUCH SOMETHING PLASTICS it feels as if the (WHATEVER IS INSIDE OF ME ,DRAWS ELECTRICAL TYPE SENSATIONS WHEN I AM BE RY VERY CLOSE. THEN WHEN I HAVE TOUCH IT, THE THINEST OF plastic WILL START TO TIGHTEN UP.

355. Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, Constant checks up in different hospital not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw an article on how DR SEBI helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked for my address, which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after 10 days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to share is good work to the world, faithfully am doing it now, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on ( info.drsebicure@gmail.com )

358. It’s not a syndrome. It’s not dirt. The lady that stated her painful experiences is not crazy. I googled “what are pin-point sized, red insects that swarm and latch on with painful bites?” Then I found the lady’s agonizing account.

     Those ugly, tiny insects do exist. They bit my legs silly last night when I stepped out to drop recyclables in my bin. I thought it was mosques and mused about how prolific and more fierce their bites had become.

     This morning when I stepped out to mow my front lawn, I was again deluged with awful bites all over my legs. I was slapping my legs in desperate self-defense. Meanwhile, I bent over to see what was eating me. There were hundreds of these tiny, red, pin-sized insects latched onto my legs, stinging and eating away so possessively and nonchalantly at me.

     I beat at them more frantically, somehow found my car keys in all that frenzy and ran to the corner store. I returned home with my two arms loaded with insect sprays and repellant body sprays. They attempted to swarm me again as I stepped out of my car, but I was fast at work also; spraying my legs with the repellant. Then I sprayed my driveway at the garage front area where they attacked me.

     Finally, I proceeded to mow my lawn. Those tiny, ugly things are horrible. They are the same things I had noticed since yesterday afternoon, hoping/crawling on my dog’s white fur and I kept inspecting him for fleas. But his skin kept passing my inspections. Today, I realized it was those ugly things on my dog. I sprayed his with the repellant. The bugs don’t seem to fair so well on furs. Hence their affinity for my bare (legs) skin.

     I’m in awe of creation. There are so many species that we humans are unaware of; that are yet to be discovered. Again, that dear lady is not deranged. I pray that someone should help her.

     Thanks from me -Tina-

360. OK, I am having the same issue, exact same. Also my dog had the same issue around his chin and jaw. I’ve spent months trying to figure it out. Finally realizing me and my dog have same issue, I thought worms, so I treated my dog with over the counter worm powder, from Walmart. And he cleared right up with no more issues. I still have them tho. I’m going to find the same thing I used on him that I can use and see if it works. From all the info I gathered, it definitely fits the mites description. But until I figure out how to stop it on me, I won’t know. I don’t think it’s fibers. There r a couple species of mites and demodex mites fit mostly. When I shave my entire body I have much less creepy crawlies…. Much much less until my hair starts to come out of the skin. They live down at the bottom of the hair follicles that’s why u can’t catch them. They come out at night to mate.. But r also active during the day.

362. Recently we started remodeling our home. It all began when we sanded our cabinets in the kitchen. Wasn’t long after my husband was being bit. I thought he was crazy because I’m in the same bed and nothing is bothering me. Till one night,about a week later, he took his shirt off and I seen his back. Holy cow something was leaving welts all over his back. I got a Lysol wipe and started wiping his back, these thing started coming out and I would scoop up. Looked clear mini spiders. Needless to say I googled everything. Eventually I was feeling them too. He video taped them flying around our bedroom. We started sleeping on a air mattress. I went to see my Dr. He iimmediatly said silverfish. Oh I was relieved, he believed me because he deals with farmers everyday. So he treats us for infestation and omg I was so bad because I just had surgery and was home 24/7, but it did stop these bugs from getting under our skin and myself breeding for them, I still get them in my nose, eyes, ears and my hair. I’m so afraid of my hair. It has literally bitten me on the bottom lip in shower. We have tried everything and I haven’t been back to Dr yet. I vacuum and wash everything daily in Borack it doesn’t stop them. We found out we had a bad leak and these bugs were from the mold. Yet they go away for a few weeks and then come out very aggressive. I only have them on face, in eye lashes, and swear they are laying eggs in my nose and get stuck sometimes in my throat. My husband has them all over still. He tries to burn them. We thought it was getting better but not. I think it’s because we have a chipmunk trapped in our basement and these mites won’t go away till he does. A friend told me Irish spring soap in pieces all over house and basement will get rid of it because they don’t like the smell. Just open basement door after putting all over and he will leave. I’m afraid if I open door his friends will come in and last thing I need is more. This has been going on since Sept 2016 I believe dust mites was the beginning. We’ve spent thousands of dollars. We have a dog. So every time they go away a little bit they seem to be worse on the dog. Hot bath will get off you but they come back. We are at a stand still at this point. Warm weather coming and I have got all nesting off windows recently and my poor dog is sick, internal, nothing can help her but I make her as comfy as I can. We take Black Walnut Hull for infestation which we don’t have now. It’s just limited now but living with it till we figure this out. We eat healthy, very clean used a zone the purify air which mad them mad. My Sr has given me a name to exterminator that deals with this. I’ve went from breeding these things to limit to just my nose and eyes. Now heard Vicks helps and working so far but I smell bad. Will keep updated after I don’t have a pet. Believe she is bringing back to us. I’m not gonna stop till this problem is gone. So I believe this woman has something on her. How to get rid of them is the thing. We’ve done winded, by the gallons, because it kills them on the floors, tea tree oil, taken garlic and other naturals. Pestosides that don’t work. Thousands of dollars and still here. Next we will get rid of all carpet that we just bought a year ago. We opened the walls of hell and now we live within them. Skin so soft helps me the most. I’ll keep updated if we get rid of them.

     - U may also have mold. U could have easily stirred this up when sanding.
       Mold also causes the feeling of crawling and biting. Yes. If u have chipmunks in ur house that too could be carrying mites.
       I know ur post is old.
       Hope ur making steady progress!
       Also -Be very careful with ur ozone machine. It can affect ur health in a bad way, if not used correctly.
       If u have not studied up on ozone, do it now. So u know ur doing it right.

364. Didn’t u say you have seen these, abd tgat they are miniscule red dots? If si, two possibilities that I know of from my own experience owning a home and gardenung. 1 are red spider mites, 2 are now I forgot the name of the secone one but if they when crushed give all red substance Tgey are the second one.
     Provide your email and I’ll send u info on both including nsmes. You can easily Google them re treatment. They multiply readiky snd obe can have hundreds so u need to treat for them.
     Forget that ladt advice not to eat virtually anything. Use common sense on what nit to or to est.. As a nutrition educated medical professional I can tell u what u eat isn’t the answer here.

This happens to me at least 3-4 times a years I am at the point of pulling my hair out at times when I start to feel the crawling and my hair starts to make me feel itchy…

         Posted by Marie | June 21, 2017, 11:18 pm

     - What ur food intake. If it IS fungal related, cut back on carbs and sugar. infact u may even notice that some days r worse than others. Look back on what u ate the last 36 hours or so.
       See it there is a pattern.
       Use paper towels after a bath or shower. Ur towels maybe infested. We don’t know FOR SURE whether washing machine kills what ever this is. Mites or fungal. Make sure ur water heater is on HOT. changing ur sheets and pillow cases often is important. If u can aim for every couple days.
       Use a lint roller on ur sheets pillow cases and body before bed. VACUUME AS OFTEN AS U CAN if u have carpet. There r foods that and supplements that seem to help, but won’t get rid of it. But they can cut down on the poplulation.

     - If what u have is not on ur body and just your head and where have hair on ur body, pits pubes, Reid about black piedra. Also white piedra.
       This fungal.
       U can also see it on YouTube.
       Or still shots of people’s head and what piedra looks like.
       If u work around mulch and plants moss decaying wood, read about sporo schenkii.
       Sporo is very common. It found works wide. Sadly drs r not taught much about fungus or mites.
       If u have uncontrollable itchy skin lesions, put ice cubes directly on the sores, or in a baggie. It will help take away the itch so u can sleep. For me, it even seemed to FREEZE or kill what ever was causing the biting feeling in the sores on my skin.
       I think this is mite and fungus related.
       Hope this info helps

366. My name is judith cyrus and I am from united states of America, I want to testify of how i got cured of hsv2, I got infected with hsv2 disease in 2011,i visited several herbalists, spiritualists and pastors for cure but all to no avail, The world was gradually crushing down on me,i searched google and read about possible ways to get cured. i saw a post in a health forum about a herbal spell doctor called DR OSEWE who cure all kind of deadly diseases including HIV AIDS, ALS, MND, Epilepsy, Leukemia, Asthma, Cancer, Gonorrhea e.t.c, at first i got shocked,but when i read about the doctor again i thought of giving him a try because i was really desperate of getting cure. to cut the long story short, when i contacted this herbal spell doctor via email,he prepared a herbal spell portion and sent it to me via courier service, when i received this herbal spell portion, he gave me step by step instructions on how to apply them, so i did without missing any of the step. To my utmost surprise i was cured of this deadly disease within a month and some days, I am now ALS Negative (-) all thanks to doctor OSEWE, he is indeed a God sent. you can also contact him at oseweagbonifo@gmail.com

368. Did this person ever get help?
     Or get a name for this skin issue?
     I believe it is mold/fungal illness.
     Mold can become systemic, meaning inside our bodies.
     Mold and fungus attracts all sorts of bugs. Some eat it. Some lay eggs in it. Some just live in it.
     mites can also transfer the mold fungus in to our bodies through a bite.
     That means u could be dealing with both mites and mold.
     Mites can carry and transfer the same illness that Lyme ticks can.
     There is actually a mold mite.
     I always thought mold mite was just a generic name. But it isnt.
     Start by inspecting ur house for mold. Check AC and heater filters.
     Check ur bathroom for exseive moisture. Under and behind appliances. Like dishwasher washing machine. Fridge too. Check under sinks. UNder ur house for a slow dripping pipe. In ur attic for small roof leak.
     Call mold remidiation places. Ask what they charge to test the air. Ask if they can test a piece of clothing hanging in ur closet uve not worn in the last 6 months. Drains in ur tub can have a leak and drip under ur house. These things all grow mold.
     If u can afford it buy a GOOD air purifier. Borrow one.
     Use it in ONE ROOM. Like your bedroom. Run it all day and all nite,
     U should notice a difference after a day or 2. It depends on how big the purifier is and how big the room is.
     Mold by itself can cause biting and stinging sensation. If u r a Gardner or workout doors, in contact with trees moss decaying wood, marsh…. read about sporo shenkii.

     - In the end, I got rid of this with Nizoral shampoo, Paul Mitchell Tea Tree shampoo used as a body soap (get it at Walmart) and eating minced garlic, a teaspoon daily for one week, then 1/4 teaspoon for a week, then one tiny piece daily for 6 months or so. I believe that it was a fungal mite. Now it’s gone.

     - Try Neem capsules. And/or very diluted Neem oil in your favorite oil carrier. Try a tiny small first if using the oil. It is not a cure but it prevents the itching and it also prevents the bugs bites from becoming infected.

376. Try eating a lot of garlic. After a bit it is expelled naturally through your skin and it is a natural bug repellant. Plant peppermint and lavender, (also natural bug repellants), add a cup of vinegar to your washload of towels. Good luck!

     - My mom used to put a bay leaf or two in our weekly meal of spaghetti. I don’t know if it was the pastapazoo or maybe the yummy fried onions we had with liver once in a while, but even though we lived out in the wild woods with all kinds of pets, wild animals, birds and rodents, we never had anything more than maybe a mosquito bite or something mild like a tick once in a while. Then Mom would break out the Bactine just in case that mosquito had some stowaways on board and there were never any real problems with bugs back in the day…

       Times change though, you get older, you get behind on the cleaning or whatever, and like at least one poster said here, you might be desperate enough to order up some ivermectin online… Like Christine said, though, sometimes a mild bug repellant, like the kind available in many foods, should be enough to drive away pesky gnats and crawling things. This post is a great source of inspiration, thanks to all of you who have shared your stories here!

     - Yeah, the San Joaquin Valley; yeah rectal bleeding, usually a sign of Diverticulitis but let’s look further; yeah, all sorts of different symptoms and deficiencies can lead to anemia; but bleeding often comes about from too much Vitamin A Palmitate, possibly Vitamin A Acetate and Maltodextrin, even in mere supplement ingredients for the Maltodextrin. Also means one’s missing out on K, Iron, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Protein, C or Zinc i.e. Hmm, yeah: don’t cook with aluminum in the oven or on the stove either; after some few days, start brushing up on vitamin D with good fats and lots of them. Start taking Type 1 and Type 2 Collagen as well; often found by the ‘hair skin and nail’ stuff; try to get some couple thousand milligrams a day. You’ll be alright; be sure you’re okay on electrolytes or at least eat some pumpkin seeds i.e. Anyways, so sorry; about your blindness as well; hopefully you can eat some raspberries or blackberries or get some lutein and astaxanthin in ye and lower the lumens of light in your home anyway; Maybe you can even get to learn Echo-Location if you haven’t yet; not a bad thing

378. Hello, I know what you are talking about because I was born in the Philippines where we have Bermuda grass I use to play on the field of Bermuda where this red very tiny bugs lived in it. When my friends and I would set too long on the grass they normally transmit into our legs arms back or head they are color less but once they feed on your blood they turn red. It’s so small you can’t see them. They will bite your skin and live in your head and crawl in your skin. They are normally found on grassy Bermuda grass. I also came across with the bug you will find in the chicken the only deference is the chicken lice is a little bigger. I couldn’t remember the name of those red hard to see bugs but yes they are so small only way to spot them it’s because it red specially when they just eat and drink your blood.

Well anyway, I notice how much things get better if I’ve had my melatonin when it comes to things flies are drawn-to about ye but that may be saved more for ‘during the night.’ Who knows? Yeah, the Philippines I think are an island or own some; I live in a rural area. Grassy Bermuda grass. Hmm, is the name Bermuda from around Spain or so?? Yeah I haven’t seen many red bugs around here; maybe ticks or some ants but they come and go

     I had exactly the sign & symptoms you have described. I am a registered nurse and thought i was going out of my mind. The only medication i was taking on a daily basis was adderall. I had taken it for years and i believe that was the culprit. I dont know if anyone that complained to you about these same s&s were also taking adderall or another drug from the same classification but i wouldbe curious to see if there is some connection.

     - I ate minced garlic by the teaspoonful daily at first, now I only eat it once a month. It changes the way you smell and whatever it is avoids you. Also, get Paul Mitchell Tea Tree shampoo at Walmart or any shampoo aisle and use it daily, it really helps. Whatever insect it is hates the smell of it and will avoid you.

385. I read ur recent article relayed to u by a woman who states she’s being “bitten” by some type of “IBBS”… (?…or is this ur diagnosis) or type of minute bug that leaves these tiny red spots all over her body…(OR are these the “bugs?”)

     I’m an RN. since 1978 & have worked both in the O.R. & Maternity (prior to the O.R.) as well as floated all over the Hospital. I don’t know if the tiny red dots are the bugs themselves or the spots that these “bugs” that are leaving on her. To be honest with you, in all of my years of working in the hospital, not only have I never seen these types of tiny bugs, but I’ve not (until today) heard of any bugs that leave this kind of marks other than “bed-bugs.” To me (without seeing these dots) that’s what they do sound like to me…(bed-bugs). Especially IF they are ALL over the place, as she says!!??

     It is definitely something very hard to diagnose without actually seeing them…(& to be honest with you…I’d rather not have “bugs sent through the mail to me either!)

     I find this difficult that a good skin doctor could not identify her problem. I worked up North (CT) the entire time I worked & I don’t know WHERE she lives (state-wise). WHY hasn’t she Just washed everything, (clothingwise & sheets,etc.) and MOVED to a place that’s “bug-free?”

     To be honest, that makes the most sense if she’s unable to have her apt. fumigated (cost-wise)… It just might be cheaper in the long run, to just WASH UP 1st, pack up ALL her stuff & MOVE, no? I, personally, would have left (her apt.) long ago in her financial situation. It’s probably cheaper than going Doctor to Doctor, etc. I DO feel badly for her, but wasting all that money on canned poisons & other products, not to mention all the doctors & whatever else she requires to feel halfway comfortable!

     Anyway, good luck I guess, with helping her if u still correspond with her. I’m sure ur more knowledgeable than I am, as far as tiny bugs are concerned, but if u feel u need or want any questions answered, I’d be more than happy to TRY to answer any of them for u, (if I am able to). I can also give u my number if u want it… but, I’d rather figure out how to do so 1st, w/o just posting it for ALL to see! (If u get my drift!)

     Well, let me know HOW she does, if u find out!
     I KNEW u were from California, just from reading ur letter to her. We don’t have those kind of problems here usually…(in FL.) I only moved down here 18yrs. ago with my family…(with my 2 grown kids & my husband.)

     I had only heard of “IBBS” once before, about a year ago… I think while reading. I think I would definitely need to “see the bug” that left the mark, before I spent all that money though… Wouldn’t you? BUT…I guess once ur bitten (fairly regularly), that’s all the person being bitten probably needs though, to complain (?) Who knows?

     OK… I’ve spoken too much, I’m sure! 😬
     (☺️😇 Oh, Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 &
     Merry Christmas 🎅🏻)!

387. Yeah been going crazy myself for over 13 years trying to figure out what’s been biting me or do I just have sensitive skin. What i found out is I don’t have sensitive skin. What i did learn yes something was biting me. Guess what it wasn’t bed bugs. These creatures behave like bed bugs. Yes they bite at night or when your sleeping and some of the bites are not even noticeable but the itchy irritation never ends and it literally feels like something crawling on me all over my body and the more you scratch and rub the worser it gets. Unlike a mosquito or any other biting thing these marks take a long period of time to go away. Your problem is gnats. Get this there are several different species of gnats and about four types lives secretly in our homes. Think those fruit flies are alone nope. There are blood sucking gnats in our home and in every home and place of business. How ever i set up traps. Can’t remember exactly what I did but I used sugar water just YouTube it also apple cider vinegar. Just pore it in a bowl and put plastic wrap on the top put a rubber band around it to tighten it or tape. Plus I put up sticky traps up to caught these things and in my home I caught two species of these things been wondering if one is male and the other is female. All I know is they both bite and the one that bites at night don’t look like the ones you see flying around fruit in the kitchen during the day time. But good luck I hope I helped. Also I got rid of them bugs and I haven’t had anymore bites my skin feel a whole lot better but those bite marks unfortunately are hard to get rid of but just do the best you can do. Oh and to add if you have other ppl in your home and these bite marks don’t appear on them it’s because nine times out of ten they’ll appear on ppl who are allergic or and some ppl have allergies in other ways my daughters seasonal allergies went away as well just something I observed. But still not sure and some ppl don’t have reaction at all. Good luck!

388. Hi BOLAKOVIC2,
     This was a great informative idea you shared on this page for removing the dryness and cracks appeared on the skin by using the hemp oil exclusively daily according to the short period of a time after the recommendations of a doctor and also understand the method of using hemp oil which is helpful to eliminate the skin dryness problem rapidly ,my suggestion is to concern this kind of problem with the skin specialist for the proper treatment of skin dryness disease one time in a week and also discussed in details about the results comming during the treatment of skin dryness dont move in the market during the sun light ,because the rays of sunlight damaged the upper layer of skin,if you work in a sunlight then you will be notice after some time your skin become dry and cracks are appeared ,So take care of skin and avoid for working in a sun light .hemp seed oil also protect the upper layer of your skin and also increase the smoothness .
     Thanks .

390. It is a fungus. I noticed the oak trees around my house we’re almost glowing at night. It’s Foxfire fungus. It is supposed to attack dead trees. Scientist have worried this crossing over could happen. From dead to living organisms. Some have predicted this will be the end of humans. Have her try placing pine or Cyprus needles around the doors and windows. They fight this fungus. Head and shoulders as your soap in the shower helps. Copper fungicide gets rid of it though. I spent 3 grand in 3 months trying to kill these ‘bugs”. Until you have it you can’t understand. This fungus can really resemble bugs. But it’s ur skin literally crawling. I wish more people would listen to us. When a seemingly normal person tells us something is wrong…. LISTEN!!!! I believe a very small number of people have an allergy to this fungus which is the cause. Also remember; less than 10 percent of all mites have been discovered so don’t write that off either. Who really knows what’s out there. The entamologist at UF about drove me to suicide. I was a night or 2 away from it when a lady in Ireland saw my cries for help and knew it was a fungus also black mold can play tricks on your mind. Thank you
     Feel free to pass my email to your extreme cases. I’ve been studying this for a couple years now

     - Go to the grocery store, buy coconut oil. No need to waste your money on high cost, ‘cosmetic’ coconut oil. I spoon mine out into a microwave bowl to warm it til it liquifies. Rub it all over you twice a day. Underskin bugs get smothered and your skin will love it. Also, food grade Diatomaceous Earth is great. Read up on this and you will understand it. Cured my dogs in about a month, they went from naked to lovely fur. The vet said they had no bugs. Anytime I itched, I used the coconut oil… no more problems.

393. I know this sounds really crazy but a lot of these symptoms sounds like someone has done MAGIC which is causing these bug like sensations….

     Magic is real as invisible bugs!

     Not all cases are Magic. Some really are ticks, Chiggers, mites, life etc…..but the majority is done by a magic Hex…..someone has put a spell on you…

     I have this sensation now for about a 2 yrs….I feel millions of bugs crawling in my hair…..but ONLY at night and outdoors and mostly on the left hand side of my head and I am now convinced it is a magical spell…

     I am not crazy and this sound crazy but ONLY cure is by removing the spell……

     - I wrote about magic above. The problem got solved in fall 2017 by chanting Sri Datta Stava. Later I added also Sri Dattatreya mala mantra. You can find it chanted by various people on YT.

394. I am going through the exact same thing that Anonymous says. I have been fighting at first carpet beetles, and secondly, some type lice, mites, and I don’t know what else. Where do they come from? They are in all my clothes, my bedding, everywhere. No matter how much I clean and vacuum. I have gotten them out of my hair with Listerine and vinegar. But it’s a never-ending battle. I have bagged all my clothes and put them on back porch, in garbage bags, to attempt to freeze the lice out. I have examined some of the clothes, and sure enough, found dead lice. Where do they come from? I vacuumed everything. They always show up on the sheet I cover my bed with at night. When they were not on the sheets before I put them on. I have vacuumed everything except for the ceilings in my bedroom. I don’t know what to do anymore. Should I have the place fumigated? I have four pets. We are going to lose everything. This really sucks. And these bugs Are Not Invisible. Well the lice are until they’re dead..

396. It sounds like a lot of professionals have inspected the situation and have found no evidence. I think for your peace of mind I would see a mental health professional. Sometimes anxiety and OCD can exaggerate things in our mind. It doesn’t make you or anyone crazy. It’s ok to get some help if it means you have a possibility or getting a resolution or peace of mind. I hope you will consider my suggestion. Best of luck and take care of yourself.

397. IBBS symptoms have gotten better with soap and vinegar traps placed beside me on night stand, also using the pheramone pantry pest red rubber square in the liquid (1/3 cup vinegar & 6 drops of dawn green antibacterial soap) They love the stuff. I try to stay out of Walmart after 3pm as they seem to get worse later as th day goes on. I started noticing them 1 1/2 years ago at store in Iowa and moved to Arkansas in October and they are here too. Starting to wonder if it is from their warehouse. Praying that it goes away and I get my life back. Going to follow bugmans advise on chemicals too.

398. This woman is not crazy? I starting going through the same thing three years ago only to find out my home was invested in the no see um gnats. They will literally eat you and any pets you have alive!!! After the first month I really began to look at everything in my home. These pests are so tiny that you can feel them but you can not see them until they die and believe me them dying is never soon enough!! They are the size of the end of a very sharpen pencil. When the ill see ones die you can see them because their wings will open. The will be in everything you own. They will get in your mouth, ears, and nose wile you are sleeping. Chances are that you will have a sandy crust in the corner of your eyes and in your nose when you wake in the morning. The sad part is that if your gave them you will go through elaborate cleaning process to haand tfind that they lie dormant for months and come back the next year. Moving really isn’t a option because more than likely you will just take them with you. I know because I have moved three times only to have these horrible little pest move with me. I have done a lot of research and am still experimenting with what the best deterrent is. First you have to come to terms with what you can clean that you know you can rid of the ones you have so that they are not able to nest. The cleaning of items made if cloth1) you gave to wash everything in hot water!! I mix a cup of water with about 10 drops if Avon Skin so Soft or 5 drops of Lavender oil to my softener cycle if my wash. This kills what us already there and the smell remains to ward off any new ones. Put the items that you will not be using in sealed garbage bags and then put them in a container and do not open it until the pest go dormant. The clothing you are using becomes an issue but should not be left out in the open as hanging in your closet as you are just going to wear them and get bit. I can’t tell you how much I threw away. Their are chemicall sprays that will allow you to spray your beds, furniture etc and believe me I did not want to do that three years ago before I understood what I was dealing with and yes people will not believe you unless they happen to be around you or in your home, car etc because these little creatures to not know the meaning of “you can’t go with me”!! Remember when you talk about fabric this means your mattresses, curtains, couches, rugs, carpet any and everything you have. If you are invested believe me they are there!!! I suggest for anyone reading this that you go out and purchase at least three spray bottles. Different colors. In one fill with water and put about 10 drops of the original Dawn dishwashing soap , add about a tablespoon of baking soda and about 1/4 cup vinegar. As this is all natural spray it on everything.Everyday or any time you feel them flying. Next fill one with Skin so Soft about 10 drops and 10 drops of Lavender oil. I spray this on the carpets rugs curtains, the beds and comforters just Do not get it in your eyes. The other fill with water and Skin so soft and use to spray yourself as often as needed. FYI alcohol was the best thing I found to help the unbearable itch caused from the bites. This is a tiresome process . I wash ALL bed clothing sheets and comforters at least every other day in Hot or Steaned Hot water and I spray the carpets and comforters everybday with any of the spray bottles. The only warning I can give is that I am not sure that cats or animals other than dogs can be around lavender. Internet says it’s ok for dogs. Check if you have pets . I have used this around our dog for months especially the Skin so Soft. Note to all I am sure these pests are responsible for the deaths of my two beloved dogs. They were sucking them dry!!!

     I read today about some kind of zapper they say works on no see umm so I will be getting those.

     I know this is long but this is only about a third of what we are dealing with. I know that people thought I was crazy even with a body full of the most painful bites I have had other than stepping in a bed of ground hornets.

     Also turn on all your fans! If you have Ceiling ones buy some floor ones and move them wherever you need them during the day especially if you have young one or elderly that stay in one area. And turn off the lights at night. They are very drawn to electronics especially at night. They will begin to come out as the sun is setting and get worse during the night, remember this is work but it at least keeps you from being eaten. If no one believes you sweep up some of the critters and put them in a baggie and take them to a pest control to see if they can verify what you have. I wish there was a specific solution but I haven’t found it yet. One last thing - don’t forget to treat your vehicle or mode of transportation. Buy a flea comb and use the Dawn and a little Skin so soft for your doggies. I am at a loss for my two best four-legged friends Soja and Kahuna and wish I had known more about this 3 years ago.

401. I disagree with this ibbs theory. I’m also suffering, and yes it is extreme suffering. I believe they are rodent mites so have someone look for a nest of rodents or a dead rodent somewhere in your building. I went to the Dr 2 times and they said it was cotton and my skin. I’ve noticed that they are clearish and white and they can be from the size of a half of a grown flea to the size of a quarter of a pin head. I have incredibly good eyesight and I can see them because I’m getting bit and know where to look. I found that you have to look across the horizon of your skin while shinning a light but not directly on skin.. Might take a while but you will see a clearish bug on the underneath side of your hair, kind of using your hair like the canopy of trees in a rain forest. Also the bumps, looks like pimples that appear all of a sudden and never pop, are the mites leaving eggs in your skin and when they hatch they take over your body and hair and everywhere else. I hope this helps. I’m still trying to find someone to take me seriously as well.. I might use the Dr and hospital for brushing me off and I could feel the judgement coming from them. Really disappointing.. Remember, look across your skin at eye level and take your time. They are easy to miss

     - Hi there, i agree with you, cause I have almost same symptoms as you. these bugs/insects are very tiny as grain of dust and can be confused to be dusts, i have a very good eyesight and can see these bugs flying in air. they like damp/moist places like bathroom and kitchen walls, and also warm environments, always see them on my TV and Laptop screen. I believe majority of people get these symptoms but don’t notice it. I mostly get bitten after taken my shower/bath, My girlfriend never admit of getting bitten but i notice her scratching herself most times and sneezes most times as well, cause these things gets inside the nose especially when you’re sleeping, maybe i’m more sensitive or could be that the bugs likes my body more.. I have asked most of my friends and family members if they’re experiencing same symptoms but they always look at me as a weird person, i can’t risk asking doctors either cause they don’t know fuck-all… but the only thing that gives me a bit of courage that i’m not going crazy and that it wasn’t imagination either is that i noticed i don’t get these symptoms when i go out of my house. so i knew my problem lies in my house.. i started doing researches until i came up with (mold spores/mites) they lives in damp/moist and mold areas. i searched my entire house and found that my house has damps and also has hidden molds in-between walls and wall papers, I have gotten rid of most visible molds which i believe are the host to the mold spores/mites, though i still get little bites every now and then but not as much as before, ..i still haven’t given up the fight. i’m currently saving up some money to buy “humidifier” to dry the damp walls, and also buy “mold smoke bombs” that can get rid of hidden molds that i can’t reach. i believe the “smoke bomb” can kill any insects/bugs fingers cross 🙂 I will update the outcome of the treatment when done, ..please keep in-touch with me to tackle this problem cause Doctors or every other person that haven’t experience these symptom can’t help us.. they will always suggest it’s imagination or stress or depression. my email is taysam101@gmail.com

405. But the woman saw bugs and red specks. I am in her same boat. I’m battling like 3 different bugs and none believes me. No one will clean or look my boyfriend actually patronized me. I thought he was finally involved and concerned ti find solution. There’s a history to this but I’m reluctant to say more at this point. Some of us are much more observant. One night in April I was rockin in boyfriends recliner — I never sit in it and wont now.. but I was attacked all at once by like 50 bites. Simultaneously ! I toughed it out for an hour or 2 and then dumped peppermint on me and then had chemical burn for sure. The next morning I went to the E R. They treated the reaction and they aren’t “bugologists”. Waste. Opinions were bed bug bites. Wow..but there is no bed bugs in our bed. I had flea out brake that ended up really bad. .or something or that and another creature both invaded my property and clothes. Shredding black flakes then little specks in comforter and towels and floor. Never let them get to adults but when nobody helps…some now have bitten. They dont believe me when I say that those lint balls on the socks and certain fabrics have flea or something inside and nest. I’ve studied a lot. And ironically boyfriend took the lint and findings to his buddy the exterminator who look under microscope and laugh. I never have met the guy or spoke to him. I find a lot of gross things in kitchen and a certain pathway daily and he says its cheese pizza or oreos.. but they wont eat it. Its like a seed first maybe emerging from floor cracks but moves in n a direction I think.. like white fresh goop then yellow and brown is nearby. Exact same spots and same yellow grime along the counter and in dark spots. Bug man exists but that is b.s. that 3 time I dont see him and I’m the one apparently obsessing. Controlling it. And lastly has been tobacco looking substance turns to nearly. Think it has revealed to be fly/bee more like bee with beak. Perhaps that’s whata been biting me. But I know they hurted like hell and it’s strange and living in someone’s home who dont even see what I’m talking about. -the worst! And my scars never went away from April and every week or 10 days they’d reemerge. It’s still basically happening. I try to forget about them and it almost has worked but I’m driving myself and everyone crazy. And none wants to hear about it.

408. I have a parasitic infection as well. Mine started little red dots. then black 8 yrs later I now have list cision, almost all my hair, and anemic, insomnia, can feel them crawling under my skin. I couldnt tan, I find a dried debris on my sheets each morn. I am now afraid to each as I did a Bentonite clay mouth rinse and discovered them pouring out of my tongue!! Ive since lost 20 lbs putting me 5’5” tall and now under 100lbs.
     I am seriously low on many trace minerals and chronically dehydrated. I began half a tsp of Mineral rich “RedMond Real Salts” twice a day and they began coming out! Wow! but at least now I have identified FLUKES which are like snails combined with leaches in my opinion. I go back to the I.D. dr soon
     I hope this helps some people.

     - Don’t use shampoo anymore
       only conditioner and sea water for the crawling it’s free and it helps . your hair still feel clean with just conditioner
       you are going to get through this ! the sea water spray on like a mist ,it helps the body too ;yet not a cure ,only lessen the symptoms you will be in my prayers !

412. Little red microscopic bug may really only be dust mites! They are real and they can wreak havoc. My guess only or tgey could just be residue from your laundry tge types of laundry soaps. Also consider gaving the opportunity to collect what you think may be bugs. You gave either, CRABS which is a sexually transmitting disease. OR you may just have dust mites which can drive you bonkers. And then the dust, lint being left on clothes in your laundry. GOOD LUCK FIGURING OUT WHAT THOSE PESKY HEEBEE JEEBEES ARE.

414. I do have some actual mite or parasite in my house there very sharp at the end amd sting you i brought them with me from my last apartment i looked under the miroscope at these things and i saw one had some type of long toungue that comes from it’s sharp mouthpiece. My daughter has symptoms as well as anyone that comes in my house. They are in your clothing you have to steam everything and they die. Some do come out and there wrapped in lint but you can see the mite. I thought it was bed bugs jad four treatments. One of the pco’s said you have mites one stung him on his arm and he had a rash. They do also go into your skin my daughter and my health is being affected by this.

422. I am currently experiencing my second form of what I call ” Its real go F yourself parasite” its my choice to call it what I want. I won’t go into detail here…. Trust me I’ve logged over 100 hours of research and I know the deal. What I want to share is this…. Currently myself, my wife and my dog have symptoms of 2 different parasites. My wife has the flying whites and my dog and I have the glitter bug. My wife has never experienced the glitter bug but I had the flying whites last round . I’m an experienced host and I would like to thank all the hosts before me for the information regarding the defense weapons needed to survive.
     The glitter bug army is ruthless, intelligent, and can be a life altering experience. I have experienced physical, emotional, and even in my opinion an evil dark force. I wont go into detail but I have some great stories if anyone want to hear his email later. Here’s the deal, my dog is the primary host, I am closest to the dog, my wife and I both in my opinion have weak immune systems. With that said I can pet my dog and when I do I feel small pricks on my skin. I also can just be anywhere in my house and feel prixks at anytime but the dog is everytime. At the exact moment I feel a prick I can use the small more powerful section of a magnifying glass and exactly where every time I can see a small fiber and a small spec. Now this is all I saw at first but it wasn’t enough to satisfy my curiosity. I kept looking for hours I mean hours and there is a 3rd subject. Now this subject is very sneaky, doesn’t like to be seen, and knows that you are looking for it. Its a translucent creature like the demodex mite. Bare with me… I have studied all the mites and this is different. Before I started investigating the glitter bug I like my wife had the flying whites in my head. During this time I had stinging sensations on my body and either a fiber, black/brown spec, or a hair along with fluid secretions would come out of my body. Now this would freak anyone out and most people would visit the emergency room or docter but I’m a stubborn Taurus. I sent the wife abd child to the in-laws and I lived this out for a week and it got freaking weird. I found out that the secretions form a layer over the skin which encapsulates the fiber or spec. I could wait a bit after I was bitten that day and do this…. Find a spot on your body where you know there was more hair than there is now, rub your skin, pull the hair around the area and in the area in all directions really tug on it and you will break up the layer covering your skin and if you have what I have there will be a black/ brown spec or a fiber inside. Now I’m definitely not saying this is related to everyone but i thought it needed to be shared due to the fact I haven’t read a similar post. There is probably one out there I’m sure. I could go on and on for days about my experiences and will if anyone wants to hear or wants to talk shop regarding friends and family doubt, daily regiments, or ways to annihilate these creatures. I have had very low points during these times, depression, fear, and pray for everyone that has to go through any aspect of any kind of ” Its real go F yourself parasites”. As for the 3rd creature, the translucent one that is associated with the ever so elusive demon locator fly that shoots a white secretion on everything around where you occupy….. I’m getting close to figuring it out and when I do im gonna F it up…

424. Just so you are aware bed bugs can live in the walls of a building also wood and electronics and dirt basements I.e. if one apartment has them and they treat only that apartment they will move him along the electrical wires or the piping all the way down into the sand of the basement if necessary , baby bed bugs once they have eaten are red And any pest control company will not find a nest in your house if they are in fact in the walls. However if they are tiny little red things and you live down south if you’ve been exposed to Spanish moss there is a tiny little red bug so to speak it’s so small I don’t know if you caught that but it will barrel into your skin it generally lives in Spanish moss … most people in the south referred to them as no-see-ums

426. I know EXACTLY how you feel. I’ve been going through very similar things you are describing. I have also done extensive research. Thank God, I am a nurse, and really know physiology. Frustrated, because I don’t think med. professionals these days seem to know a darn thing about it. And if the illness doesn’t show positive results in the urine or a CBC, they think it’s psychological. Anyway, to get to your issue. You said you were disabled. If your disability involves anything that can give you an immune system that doesn’t work as good as it should. Well, that can lead to a mess of problems. If you haven’t already, look up info on “Candida overload”. As well as ” mold toxicity ” . I’m 45 years old, and have not ever had even a general very common vaginal yeast infection! However, when I got a tick-borne illness and my immune system was working on that problem, on top of the pesticides ( pesticides can throw your body’s skin ph off, which is your normal yeast-bacteria everybody has ), I ended up with, not just my first yeast infection, but my entire body experiencing the nasty effects of yeast. My story itself is very long and can be a lot to follow. A few things I would recommend in any issue where itching is involved, being you might be allergic to whatever it is. An air purifier. If you’re tight on cash, I bought a, Holmes Hepa-Type medium size air purifier for $50.00. It has worked wonders. It was definitely worth it! Eat raw garlic daily. If you don’t like it or it’s too potent, cut the cloves up into small pieces, swallow with water ( spring water ONLY ), like you are swallowing pills. Stay away from town water or even bottled water that is purified. Stick with the spring water. Take Benadryl at bedtime. And during the day, creams with menthol and/or camphor really helps with itching. If you suspect yeast, follow the diet recommended. I highly recommend praying ( to Jesus, that I’m referring to ). Ask Him, for answers and help. The doctors these days will just leave you for dead. I hope you will get your healing. I truely believe this is not in your head.

428. Please lord help all of us that are going through this really painful,itching, mind twisting, and very very hard to rid our bodies our poor four leged family members and beloved homes from this infestation. Lord we are told for everything that can make us sick, you created a cure for it. Please Lord tell all the doctors that we are not mentally crazy. There is to many people having there bodies taken over by a very tiny little demon. We all need you. In Jesus name I pray AMEN Mam no you are not crazy. You may go crazy if you try to remember all the foods in that comment. Being told by people you hand your life over to just for them to tell you I can’t tell you the name or why you are having the problems. I’m sure not going to ask about it. I may be called crazy also. Just call the condition (I.B.B.S.) That way if we can get paid for putting a label on it without a cure. We tell people they have that (I.B.B.S) plus the insurance company’s that also pay us that is the folks illness. They’ll beleave it was transmitted to them from the invisible man. In fact they are only getting away with a crime of malpractice. Taking advantage of a patient. You have a perecite in your body. I have the same problem. Please I’m begging you to not spray deet, off, or other sprays from a can on you body. It will make it worse. The bugs make you lose weight so eat plenty. 20 mule borax helps you and your duds. Pay 5 dollars for 2 ear candles Keep ears clean. When you bath or shower wet a rag damp all over put on the 20 mule borax let it 15-20 mins all over your body even between rear cheeks, an eyes becareful not get in eyes or inside your body. After it set rub gently off while dry. Then finish bathing. Daily ingest A.C.V. that is labeled orgaintic. I have been researching and learning everything I can about this tiny black bug that has took over body and doing it’s best to scramble our minds. And it is hard row to hoe. But you can win the war. Get what you need to build up your immune system to help fight the war.They are springtailed flees they thrive in moist, dark, and warm places.I really hope this will be the power to help you get free from this that is keeping you unwell.

The ARE RED with tiny wings and so delicate they separate into 2 pieces when touched,how did the color red get mentioned if they are invisible?Have others caught them? I had my first bite by a fake Ladybug last year and for years I didn’t even believe my Wife,so anything is possible if from China it seems.

433. To the person with the little red bugs !! They are bed bugs!!!!!! I went through the same thing!!!!! The teeny tiny little red bugs are the newly hatched baby bed bugs!!! They can be microscopically small and hard to see and hard to catch!! I and my family went through dealing with this horrible issue for over 12 months!!!! We sprayed and sprayed and sprayed!!! Eventually we moved and never ran into the problem again, thank God!! That’s what I suggest for you. MOVE!! Wash everything that u can in the hottest of water. All clothes and anything that can b thrown in a washer machine and put belongings in air tight vacuum sealed bags. Don’t bring pillows or blankets or towels or throw rugs or even furniture from where you are staying now with the bug problem to where you are going. The problem is that even if you washed all clothes and materials that can b washed and rinsed and Vacuumed and got all new furniture, and sprayed the chemicals they say kills and repels these bugs, theses bugs travel!!!! Your neighbor down the street could have bed bugs and they could of traveled over to your place. And as long as they are alive over there they will keep traveling to you! And once they have traveled they nest and spread like wild fire! Spraying keeps them away for a night or two but that’s it! As soon as the chemicals wear off the bugs are back!!! They are relentless!! Once they find a way in, they are in for good! We would see bugs crawling on the walls! Coming out of the cracks on our wood paneling ! How creepy crawly is that?! So more than likely they have a nest some where in the walls where the chemicals don’t get in all the way. And yes those chemicals can b very dangerous! My son ended up having to take a full year of chemo therapy ending up with a rare disease called LCH or langerhans cell histiocytisis and all tho no one is certain in the cause of his rare disease it is believed chemicals in pesticides could be to blame!!! Iv never been one to leave comments on any web site. But I know all too well the endless frustration and challenges with this situation! It’s a time me and my family will never forget and thank God Almighty that we got out of that situation! I didn’t sleep for a whole year! I was getting eaten alive in my bed! I could feel them crawling and bitting me all over my body! These baby bugs can b so very small it’s so hard to catch them but like you I did catch my fair share of these little red bugs as well as their more mature Moms and Dads and aunts and uncles. I wish you recovery from this horrible situation! Best of luck and God Bless!

434. Bed bugs or body lice the best thing to do is to get a lice shampoo and shampoo your whole entire body in it and spray down your bedding it could be mites bed bugs or body lice or scabies it’s definitely something small that lives under the skin I’ve had this problem before and I had to spray all my furniture down with lice spray and I wash my whole entire body down with lice shampoo and it took care of the problem.

436. Have you considered chiggers? Chiggers are extremely small tiny red bugs that are difficult to see and bite the heck out of you. I have had this happen. And chiggers are extremely easy to carry in from the yard. Treat your yard. Get commercial grade spray. Look on Amazon. It’s milky white color. And you mix just before use. Apply using a pump sprayer! I bet you will eliminate your problem with this.

439. I believe a lot of people that are going through this have been exposed to toxic black mold or mold and mold spores. They cause a wide range of symptoms and a lot of doctors and people in the medical field are still learning about all of it. Mold is a type of fungi. My bf and me and my dogs are going through this right now. He luckily got in with a dr that is studying this right now. Please people do your research. The affects of some of this can be fatal

441. I recommend herbs. Try drinking relaxing herbal tea and soaking in a nice bath infused with chamomile or lavender. It will be good for your body, relax you and if indeed you are being bitten, will sooth the bites and drive away the bugs.

442. I’ve had this issue before so just know you are not crazy I was in and out of the hospital for myself and my children. They are silk worm/ parasites. Somehow after hurricane sandy I was hit with two issues. The silk worms would just appear on my skin many small dots then I’d watch it expand in my skin as it ate through it upon extracting it I had to start from the outside layer like a circle in other areas like my. Hands it would be a lot of split open wounds hardened on the edges and top layer I would tweeze it out and it would look as though it was simulated thread. I ask had mites. What helped was the Permithian cream used for mites or scabies from head to toe, oral medication for internal bacterial parasite infection. I also drank natural shake with raw pumpkin seeds and raw papaya seeds which paralyzes and kills parasites in the gut. I also had to do 2 cleanses a month. Throw a lot of bedding and teddy bears anything that’s in washable. Upon washing wash In Hot water and dry really well. When you take off dirty clothes dry it in the dryer for 15 mins before washing. I bought natural Eucalyptus oil peppermint oil lavender and tea tree oil mixed it with 90% proof alcohol and a splash of water and sprayed my bed my hair clothes body out of shower spray the floor on my final passing off the mop. Sprayed everything morning noon and night. Eventually it will go. Also don’t eat raw Sushi high chance of parasite infection. You’re not crazy your human. Also don’t purchase silk sheets or any that have silk threading. This was a result of me purchasing some and a double whammy after hurricane Sandy in my water system. God Bless

443. My heart goes out 2 EVERYONE SUFFERING! I was working FT, & caring for my ailing Dad. Sadly I had an accident and suffered a Severe TBI. Then the State practically begged me to “foster-adopt” a baby girl. That I had to sadly decline as my Dad was going downhill faster. He raised me, so I raised him. It was a huge emotional part of my life, along with learning to use my brain differently, accepting changes, etc. that I’ve still not been able to grieve over in counseling. Why am I posting this? Well, All THAT IS OVERWHELMING- BIG TIME. NOT 1 FAMILY MEMBER HELPED ME AS MY DAD THEN SUFFERED 4 9 MORE MONTHS , THE PASSED 2 HEAVEN-STAGE 4 COLON CANCER. I HAVE EPSTEIN BARR SYNDROME, HYPOTHYROID, AND MORE SINCE I STARTED TRYING 2 LIVE WITH MY BUGS! One thing I do know- ppl with low immune systems are more susceptible to get the bugs that hurt us, drive us mad, ppl look at us cross-eyed, never try to make an effort to understand how we feel, and I wear long sleeves in 110°. I do have my kids, my X, that don’t tease me ANYMORE, accept me as I am. And a few AWESOME friends . But when I am home alone, the shower sounds like a scary idea. I practically need someone to babysit me! I might step on one inside or out. Or more! I’m terrified of cleaning. Never was! Mopping, taking trash out ( use gloves!), cleaning kitchen, etc..u name it. If it’s dusty or I see a “bug”, I may stop for the day! Getting stung freaks me out! ! Ouchhh. It’s totally horrible. I use green tea natural shampoo, & conditioner, face wash, leave in hair moisturizer. I wash with Cetaphil soap, use their lotion. Keep your skin hydrated. Also, wound wash has no chemicals in it if u buy natural. Take a bath ( in Epson) if U can. Long hair? Keep it up. You can purchase all those tea tree items at Ross. A pharmacy for Cetaphil products. I also put the lysol in my laundry, but guess I’ll stop that! Gonna try vinegar! I hope we can help each other. Like PASS IT ON! THIS IS SCARY FOR US!

444. Thank you for addressing this issue. I had something happen when back after 10 days on vacation (our cat had escaped outside before we left). While my situation, I believe, was a combination of mites, a parasite similar to scabies or chiggers maybe (tea tree oil and orange and coconut oil made it feel like something was wriggling and then died and I noticed white larvae come out of my skin multiple times), extreme stress at the time (crying baby, husband gone, just back from vacation, low money), and something wrong with my nerves, and possibly a spiritual attack. I bought a microscope, and there are so many little mites in the humid hot fall of Hawaii that I really don’t have a specific culprit, though a type of chigger could be to blame. What made me realize that it was definitely not in my head was when I thought I had bagged everything in the house and thought I had protected myself, something painfully bit my left then right foot on top and caused literal bleeding that came out in a photo. I had the house gassed with cedar oil. I thank God that He watched over me and helped bring me through that difficult time, and that my daughter is okay, even though I had no immediate family nearby. I had thought of Morgellons, but what is interesting is that I don’t drink anything from bottles, rarely eat canned foods, and try to use natural home products. I didn’t eat cow for 4 years and only rarely ate it at the time. I drink organic milk mostly, but I sometimes have had factory farmed milk. I choose farmers market produce. Who knows, I don’t, I am just grateful that it has not continued, and yet again, God is good and suffering produces character, which produces hope, which does not disappoint.

     - Amen to that! 5 and a half years and still suffering. Oh May God bless ANYONE going through this. Diet, chemical exposure are big parts of the continual suffering, BUT if the body “mistakenly” allows these parasites to continue attacking the body (weak immune system or auto immune disorder as is my case) then the chances of using essential oils, cleansing, fasting, steaming, home remedies, kleen green, Ivermectin, Malathion oil, lice/scabies/paracytic meds, meds, helps very little. The positives- In doing all this I’ve lost 35lbs, and my skin looks great from using different skin products but still not cured. I used to quarantine myself. The weird thing about these bugs-they are aggressive and seem to become resistant to EVERYTHING.

       - Use shea butter. Green beaver company is good. It has Shea butter - apply liberally where affected. It gets rid of the infection.

     - Use Dawn dish detergent (concentrated, not brand that is aleady watered down) & mix with a very, very minute amount of Benzyl Benzoate (can burn you if not extremely diluted). You can buy Benzyl Benzoate on the web. Repeat this for about five days, using a good washcloth that will at least somewhat exfoliate. Lather it up vigorously. Use about once a week afterward. Then, after symptoms are gone, use once a month.
       WARNING: Benzyl Benzoate will HARM your skin if not diluted. Only about THREE drops are needed to a large bottle of Dawn detergent. More than that could burn you. If you over use, apply a lot liquid Arm & Hammer baking soda to neutralize.
       Repeat baking soda until burning feeling subsides. Then, your bug troubles are gone.

447. I have tiny white , blue, and red fibers cases that are in my clothes that I get bit by. I can feel them and pull them out with my nails. I have pulled them apart and found cream/white larva things in them. But these are air born. I work home health and I have them at my home and they are at my clients, and my families homes too. However, only myself and one other person I know are bothered by them. And bothered I’d an understatement. I would rather die then live like this forever. I thought it eas carpet beetles and clothes moths because they are in epidemic numbers here in the last few years.

448. This has probably been mentioned before but worth investigating, other than mentioning the red things she’s found on her body & clothing, this feeling can often be attributed to the body’s nerves.

     Neuropathy has this as one it’s symptoms. I have neuropathy & unable to tell the difference from being bitten by ants or mosquitos or experiencing this symptom from my body’s nerves misfiring.

     It constantly feels like I’m being bite, most often nothing is visible & there is no red mark or bite looking wound visible, even a tiny one.

     This sensation can occur anywhere on my body from head to bottom of feet. My legs below my knees & head are the areas this is experienced most often. Often times it’ll feel as if I have an extreme case of head lice, because the sensations will be almost nonstop & drive me insane.

     Many times I’ve asked family members to check my head for lice or nits, because the sensation of being bit & itching is extremely bad. This is with knowing I have severe neuropathy. They always respond nothing is there.

     Sometimes it’ll feel as if I’m being constantly bit, other times it’s an extreme itch, as if I have dipped my legs into a vat of poison ivy oil, while also rolling around in poison oak & have both the chicken pox & shingles at the same time. It can occur feeling like individual bug bites, or a large area of your body is affected, such as an entire region like from below my knees all the way down to my ankle. It can occur at any time during the day, but frequently occurs more often in the evenings or nights (at the end of your day). Or when affecting a large region can be a nonstop sensation lasting as little as 15 minutes, to several hours, or several days.

     Often times certain seizure medications are prescribed for this, but the medication will never fully stop the sensations, if it has any effect at all, which occurs for some.

     Because this sensation is not due to any allergy as many believe, Benadryl & antihistamines provide no relief.

     Additionally, since it’s not a result of any dermatisis, creams, lotions, & otc meds such as hydrocortisone cream, have no affect on it either.

     Hope this information proves to be helpful to some experiencing this.

451. These are not from chemicals or the environment. They are actual living things. I have a microscope and I pull these out of my clothes and they look like lint. Actually they encase themselves in lint and come out to feed. Once they mature, you can pull the tiny lint pieces apart and a bug will come out. I seem to be the only eaten up by these but everyone I show them to under the scope can see them.

452. For the whole of 2017 and some of 2018 I went through mite infestation. For months I was attacked, swarmed on, crawled on and into, including into my eyes and nose and vagina, and in a hell of itchy disfiguring bites… I had ongoing wounds that would not heal and I was broken in every way… I got very very close to suicide… I am now free of it all but it has taken me this long to write about it because it was so traumatic… but I want to share this because I know there are people out there who are still desperately suffering/suicidal and I hope this info can help them…
     I did everything I have ever read on any forum/website and more… I smothered myself in everything from coconut oil, neem, teatree and clove oils through to salt/borax sprays and bleach baths through to stuff stuff like permethrin and sulphur. I took everything internally from supplements to borax to countless doses of Ivermectin. I am a trained naturopath/herbalist so I also did quite a lot of strong herbal stuff not available over the counter, both internally and externally… nothing worked - I might get some temporary relief but nothing stopped the onslaught.
     I bought a fogger and everyday, for over three months, I fogged my home and myself… at first with the cedar stuff and then, when that didn’t work, I tried everything else I could think of including ammonia and hydrogen peroxide and pyrethrum.. my home is still rusting from all the treatments I tried on it and I did some dangerous things… several times I nearly electrocuted myself, I blitzed myself with toxic chemicals and I lost 20 kilos… I ripped up all my carpets, threw out all my furniture, slept on a blow up plastic mattress, put all my clothes through hot wash and dry treatments that shrunk and ruined them, kept everything in plastic bags, put all my paperwork and personal belongings in the microwave or freezer…
     It was a time of total hell, madness and desperation and nothing nothing worked.
     I bought a microscope and took skin scrapings from myself and samples from my home and I believe I could clearly see collembola mites in and on my skin and environment… but I went through several medical specialists and in the end was basically told I had delusional parasitosis…
     On top of this I was so afraid to see any of my friends - or anyone - in case I gave it to them… and I lost the relationship that I finally thought was my one, my love… the man who promised me everything and who brought this plague into my life finally left me with it, and the betrayal and pain I didn’t think I would ever get over.
     I lost everything, everything - my health, my home, my finances, my work, my relationships… all I had left was literally a shell of a home I couldn’t be at peace in.
     And I was suicidal, very close to death… but I have been through so much in my life and still there is something in me that won’t give up.
     But what I know now, what I believe, is that there is little I/you can do to the outside of yourself, to your home or to your skin, that will make very much difference - in fact I think the more I tried to eradicate the mites from the outside of me, the worse it got.
     For a long time I was so worried about passing on this plague to another person, or to an animal, but what I came to see, to understand, was that it just didn’t work like that… other people could come into my home and be around me and not be remotely affected. A friend who did remain a lifeline to me would sometimes come and stay over and literally sleep on my mite-infested carpet and be completely unaffected while I would be bitten to death. It began to feel like very much like a personal plague to me, like I was being targeted - but it also made me fully aware that there must be something about me, something different about me, that was attracting the mites, that made them attracted to me as their food source and made them flourish around me, in a way that just didn’t happen with other people.
     And then I came across a small post on one of the forums that I had not seen before… someone posted about how they had been supplementing iodine (15 drops of 5% Lugols three times a day) and had been mite-free for three months… and that was the beginning of the end of the hell for me. I haven’t been able to find that post again but I want to thank that person from my heart for giving that small post - because it changed my life and led me to answers and to be able to live again…
     I knew I had to be careful as over-supplementing iodine can lead to hypothyroidism, but tests had already shown I had some thyroid dysfunction and I had long suspected I had subclinical hypothyroidism - and frankly I felt I had nothing to lose. Within weeks of supplementing iodine (I did 5 drops 15% Lugols three times daily) life was returning to normal. I was no longer being crawled on or attacked or bitten or itchy. My body was healing. I could re-wear clothes for goodness sake and sleep in sheets and just start to be normal again…! Suddenly I was like everyone else - whether the mites were there or not didn’t matter. They were not bothering me anymore.
     I knew that quite a lot of supplemental iodine ends up in the skin and could kill off/repel the mites… but iodine is also vital for the functioning of the thyroid gland and production of thyroid hormones, which in turn impact just about every other part of our physiology including the immune system… one way or another iodine was profoundly affecting my ability to be unaffected by the mites.
     And for me I think hypothyroidism was always a part of why the mites were attracted to me and no one else… subsequent tests showed I was hypothyroid, and then in time, as I was prescribed thyroxine, I was able to stop supplementing iodine and remain mite-free - even while drinking coffee, eating sugary foods etc.
     But this is still not the whole story… about six to eight weeks before the mites began to invade and destroy my life I began taking 25mg Amitriptyline for fibromyalgia… and during the worst of the mites my Dr increased the dose as I was also so depressed/suicidal… but I know now that Amitriptyline can cause hypothyroidism! In fact one of the side effects of Amitriptyline is skin blisters, itching, scratching etc, and I don’t think this was simply the drug making me feel itchy, I think it was instrumental in my hypothyroidism/making the mites attracted to me… I stopped taking the Amitriptyline in around 2018 and have been pretty much mite-free… but I started a trial of 25mg again a couple of months ago and again after six to eight weeks started to experience being bitten, feeling itchy, having unhealed wounds etc… and so I’ve stopped and started supplementing iodine again, just for the short-term, and again all the symptoms have started to subside… it has been frightening to experience the mites/symptoms again but I also know it will settle again and I am not at the mercy of it in the way I was.
     This post has turned out way longer than I meant it to - but what I’m really trying to say is to really look at what is going on for you personally in terms of the mites seemingly targeting you… are you hypothyroid? Are you taking any drugs that are altering your physiology and biochemistry? And I would strongly recommend trying iodine… be careful and sensible but it may just give you your life and peace back.
     One last thing - I am a great believer in the emotional wounds that need to be healed below the physical wounds… I have autoimmune hypothyroidism, which means my own antibodies attack my thyroid - I literally attack myself and this then makes me vulnerable to the mites. At a fundamental level liking, loving and forgiving myself is perhaps what this has really all been about and is what will truly protect me from stuff like the mites.
     I truly hope this post helps somebody, anybody… I never thought I would come out of the other side of the mites but I have, I am, I am growing into health and happiness again and I honestly believe it is possible for any of us x

454. I’m hoping that the woman who wrote to you in regards to being eaten alive by bugs that cannot be seen, will see this posting.

     I will bet anything that you have an infestation of bird mites. They are translucent almost microscopic mites that can be found on many types of birds such as sparrows pigeons chickens. There are a couple of different types of bird mites.

     There’s not a great deal of information on human infestations, but it’s a real thing! And everyone who has ever dealt with the hell that these little creatures cause will have a story that is similar to yours. Every story I’ve heard begins with ”They’re just imagining this”, “They’re on drugs”, “They’re just crazy”, and if you get anywhere with sharing your humiliation and frustration then it’s got to be your diet or exposure to chemicals.

     I’m not trying to undermine the author, because sometimes it truly is an exposure to chemicals. And perhaps the specimen that you took to the entomologist was only a part of a mite and therefore not recognizable). But, I believe that if you’re able to physically pluck something from your skin, then it’s not likely to be chemicals. The symptoms of a chemical exposure are quite similar to the symptoms of having a mite infestation. although a chemical exposure could certainly give you the sensation of bugs crawling on your skin, the rash from Chemical exposure would typically be more of a blistering rash or blotchy rash and I can’t think of an exposure to chemicals that would imbed a foreign object in your skin.

     Just to be clear, I’m not talking about the type of might infestation that was immediately noticed and actions were taken to exterminate and eliminate the problem. I’m talking about an ongoing infestation. Bird my infestations are on the rise because of the backyard chickens becoming more popular. Many owners are not aware of these types of mites and it does not take long for their populations to grow to unbelievable numbers and take over a home then eventually the people living in the home and their pets!

     I have a feeling but if you look at what your plucking from your skin under magnification such as a microscope, and compare it to a might identification chart with illustrations or pictures, you’ll find that the bird mites could very well be what is ailing you. I sincerely hope that this will help you with the terrible situation that you have been in. That you regain your health and ultimately have a resolution. If I am correct, then try to dig deep for more strength and patience because you will need them! But, you will get there! It can be done!

     Good Luck to you!

456. So yours, is the first story I’ve found, that even comes close to what we are dealing with. I’ve been all over the internet. Searching tirelessly. There are three of us now, plus two dogs, and a cat, with these, “invisible bugs!” They come out of our hair at night, that irritating feel of something crawling on your skin. They don’t seem to do much damage, accept for drive you crazy. It’s definitely a mite, and for some reason, I can see them. They almost look like glitter, or a diamond in you will. Shaped mostly like a triangle. I swear they jump. I’m fighting the good fight though. I’ve been giving myself, family, and pets, Diatom for the past nearly month. Only because there are other issues with bugs right now. But this wasn’t helping with these irritating lil bugs, while on the skin, mostly hair. The Diatom most certainly kills them, but it’s messy and Dusty. While I do put it on my dogs skin, to keep these things off of him, and yes, works great, it really isn’t something I want on me all the time. Diatom dries everything out, and when putting it on myself, I found that my hands and skin, were becoming rough, and cracked. Not fun. So I decided to start sanitizing my entire house, using alcohol. Wouldn’t you know it. It kills on contact. I’m stoked. But now, this has been happening in the middle of the covid19 pandemic, and I can’t find alcohol for the life of me. My advice to anyone out there, dealing with these invisible mites, SANITIZE. Sanitize everything!! Wash everything you can in hot soapy water, dry on hot. Out some alcohol in a spray bottle, diluted a lil if you like, and spray everything, and I mean everything. From you, to your clothes, to the ceiling and walls everything. I’ve even sprayed my hair. I will get these things under control when this pandemic is over, but for now I’m using tea tree oil. It works. Just not as good as alcohol. I’m not sure how long it will take, cause I don’t know anything about them.(life cycle, breeding, etc.) I use the tea tree oil, the same as the alcohol, and spray everything, let it sit for about five minutes, then wipe up. I then lay down a thin layer of Diatom. They are not as bad as they were , but I certainly can’t wait to find some alcohol. I also take a hot blow dryer to my bed, every night that I’m not able to wash my bedding. I’ve watched it kill some, and the others seem to either get blown away, or jump away, not sure which, as they are hard to see. Have to be in just the right light. I will come back with any new info I figure it out. Until then, keep fighting!!!

     - Try the salt scrub when you bath it is a natural antiseptic and the extremely hot water does eliminate the surface dwellers alternatively alcohol does work used on a wipe There seems to be an increase lately as winter sets in in South Africa so definitely seasonal something to do with the clothes and bedding and the layers we wear as the intensity dropped in Summer ie cant survive direct sunlight or high intensity heat Keep praying God is testing us

457. Oh my God is what I keep saying to my boyfriend as I read this article over and over. I have watched the man that I love turn into a stranger who spends hours upon hours even days in the bathroom trying to find evidence that the so called parasite that he believes has taken over both our bodies is not a figment of his imagination. I spend my time alone in our house crying as he locks himself in there. I can’t take anymore. I find that when I dont bother with them they don’t bother me so much. But my mind is stronger right now then his. It all makes total sense to me out of every piece of literature I’ve read this one actually makes perfect sense. Now the challenge will be to convince him of this theory as well. We are big big milk drinkers and that’s will be my first experment to show him the truth. I told him that we are not drinking milk for one week to see if it has any affect on the severity of this thing. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and needed. Wish me luck. I was almost about to give up on him and leave this relationship. Seriously. I was almost out the door. I pray this works and I pray that soon I will have my boyfriend back.

     - Give up drinking milk and other foods and drinks that have a lot of chemicals.

       - I posted this before - We finallly got rid of this malady by using the RX SOOLANTRA (invermectin !% cream) once a day. Also Trader Joe’s tea tree facial soap.

     - Try using vinegar. White or apple cider. I’ve used it to clean with on a daily basis. It stinks but it works great. I wash my hair with it, and spray it all over my body. When I first started putting it on, it would burn like crazy. Now that these mites are subsiding, it doesn’t burn anymore when I put it on. I don’t know yet if I’m winning. But I’m sure staying on top of them. Diatom, vinegar, tea tree oil. I take a shower befireni get into bed, and until this is gone, I will not wear my clothes more than one time. Wash with glycerin soap, with fresh squeezed lemon or lime in it. Or just rub the lemon/lime all over you. I’ve done that too. When done washing up, I take fresh ginger, that I took a slice off of, then scored it, and I rub that all over me. It feels good, and these mites don’t like it. I also make sure my bed gets clean sheets, and vacuumed in it’s entirety every day. My day doesn’t usually end til around two a.m., but it’s worth it. I hope some, all, or at least one of these things work for you.

458. I have very similar issues as what is being described from this person. I first started having issues twenty years ago and went crazy on cleaning my home with bleach and a soap that was peppermint with enzymes. After three years I finally felt that the problem was resolved. It’s back again. Started a little over a year ago but this time you can literally see my skin is been infected by a type if fungus. This stuff makes your skin look as though it’s been dusted in glitter, leaves black balls at the roots of any body hair and has black.yellow, white gummy droppings as well as the black specks. But can bore into any type of material and if observed with a magnifying glass the waste and damaged can be seen. I am so tired of those of us that have am allergies reaction to this being treated as though we are mental. Theres a lot of people suffering from it. I have seen the same stuff on my husband and one daughter as what I see on my body but they have no reaction to it. This is real. It has a lot of characteristics of the white and or black piedra and spring tails but if anyone in the medical field would consider the possibility of this, it’s just easier to label people crazy and that some how thousands of us communicated over twenty years ago and decided to conspire with each other to convince the medical field that theres something attacking us. For what reason would anyone want to even discuss it with these narrow minded professionals. I am concerned for the children and others having the risk of being contaminated but I hope that even one of the professionals that ridiculed me will have gotten contaminated just by being near me. Chemicals are very likely involved as it has been noted that insects are immune and there is different mutations of things in the environment which I believe was started from the use of chemicals.

460. Kelly Buurman and others, about the missing numbers on the clock, expansion and contraction of visual perception, some other things.. This seems rather worrying. Two things, if it was me, I would find a competent specialising in relevant stuff practitioner to do scans/MRI scans (I think maybe flare too) on highest resolution machine for insect incursion into the brain, nervous system and optical nerves. The other thing that I would check if me, is the complicated methylation system and the associated genes, several different parts not just methylation of folate, which affect great parts of body functioning, and functioning of cells. B12 methylation issues make one chemically more sensitive, but there are many parts. I have experienced some of what you have, and had other problems before this latest one, which started around the time of major mite symptoms issues, and brain issues resulting in brain damaged diagnosed as another issue.

     At certain times you can see lint and dust particles in the air unrelated to any infection, normal. More direct light catching the small particles make them glow. I know these bugs flick themselves violently but haven’t noticed them flying )and having them under a microscope when they do this, I can tell you they don’t really look like fleas, and the bigger ones run fast and smooth, unlike fleas.

461. I hope you get this message!!! Your post is old. I am so sorry you are dealing with these bugs. Have you looked into dust mites. They can cause problems for people that are allergic to them. They itch!!!!! Ultra Violet light UVC, not UVA will kill them. Order the light from a reputable dealer, not amazon.

462. What she was saying sounds soooooo much what I am going through. I do want to say that when you responded to her she was probably saying, “oh God here we go again, this is nothing from my brain or chemicals, it’s REAL” I get her. The red she talks about sound like chiggers. I’m not saying they are, it just reminds me of them. My problem is different, but yet have many similarities. No people think I’m doing dope, they don’t believe. I actually had two MDs tell me there is no worm or bug that can burrow under skin, also to include 3PAs said the same. I asked if they ever heard of roundworms, hookworms, and quite a few others that do this. I have done a tremendous amount of research on this and have learned a lot!!! I am curious, do doctors still take the same oath that they use to?? Honey, I believe you and DO NOT give up!

     - Look at this:

       John has posted many minute videos, and even though it is hard to see everything for sure, I have had the same sorts of wounds on my skin. I can even see the breathing tubes sticking out if his skin in one photo, which he is obviously not aware of.

       In the comments of one of his first videos I found today, he replied with some newer information last year which more lines up with my experience. He has gotten the gene connection and possible bird connection.

       Richard keep hanging around here, I am trying to do my own write up on the bugs to publish somewhere and get somebody interested in researching this. We can all pool what we know together. We can even fund somebody to be analysed and treated, to find answers. As I have read that the first place it was officially diagnosed was Iran, it might even be possible to part fund research there. Whatever money goes into a solution, if there is none otherwise, likely will make it cheaper to treat ourselves, as we will know what works to start with. This has cost me over $1000 so far by the looks if it, and hundreds of hours, and stopping me from starting a new career helping people after coming out of done deadly health problems just before this. So, a lot of people have had these costs, and research is well worth it, even into erradicating this sub species completely. If 1/5th of the people can be effected, it could be life threatening to some in higher numbers then the virus.

463. I wanted to reply the Johnny Brenner, also to John Doe, but there is no reply selection under his comment.

     I wanted to ask what the bed bug he found looked like, and anybody else’s? A guy I know also with this problem, had what he called bed bugs too, but they were the strangest bed bugs I’ve seen, real angular shaped head and body maybe, yellow brown striped. Egyptian style. I am starting to wonder if they were bed bugs at all. I have seen these bugs in a few different forms, but generally I get rid of them before they get to the size of the larger ones in John Sander’s videos, but wonder if the pupa ones might grow into something which looks like my friends strange bug.

     It is interesting John mentions the movie The Andromeda Strain, I hated they claimed it was a true story in the on screen text. But John Doe’s town over run by these parasites is probably nearer the zone of country the movie depicts, and these are pretty weird for insects. A funny coincidence.

     John Doe, if you read this, can you tell us where your town is? Thank you.

     - I give. I cant keep doing his. We’ve done colloidal, we’ve done, diatom, permethrin and pyrethrins. They all helped, but never completely got rid of it. My friend went back to Arizona, hoping to get help, and now they say she has morgellons. Ya okay. Morgellons, a “very rare disease.” But yet she’s got it, my daughters got it, myself, three dogs, and a cat. Some days I can’t even see, because it’s in our eyes. My dogs eyes are swollen, and drooping, and even took him to the vet. They all think I’m nuts when I tell them, that’s not my dogs hair. My hair has literally come around to the front of my face,and tried to go in my nose, and eyes. But I’m crazy. Ya, the videos I have, and have shared you tube? I guess I found them on the internet, even though they have my name and location on them. Done just done. This is gonna kill us, but first we are all gonna go blind

       - Hi Kelly, could you share a link to your channels or videos.

         I don’t have what you have, I presume, I only see small breathing tubes sticking out, but the bugs seem to have some thread like tail. But. If you don’t mind, does anybody get wind, that is strange, and feel some things dribbling out minutely crawling out? That would be the internal infestation version around here. The two together might possibly be related. I am finding that the form of Diaomateous Earth that is meant to be internal grade seems to be helping, or the ginger, still trying to figure out which.

         Is there any lump or white mass under all these threads, or at all?

         I’m just trying to see if there is any commonality, which could indicate a common underlying cause, producing different outcomes. The things I am referring to, come out while asleep and still, do you don’t notice them inserting themselves. I just woke today with one in my ear lobe skin. One in the ear channel, and two lumps in the tip of my tongue, which were not there when i went asleep. I pulled the two grubs from the ear. But have seen.lomg tail like threads in the past, at certain stages in the life cycle of one of the forms of the bug.

         Posted by Wayne | June 6, 2020, 11:44 am

       - Kelly, In not doubting what the bugman is saying can’t be true, but for everybody and the pets to have it, indicates a cause. Is there any liquid, spray, product or food you have all used in the past in common, at least once? Anything that bug man lists nearby or upwind, like crops? I’m looking for common agent infection, or something in common which makes your chemistry or odor desirable to whatever is causing this. I’ve tried to change my chemistry with limited effect. I’m currently using a product that can kill you, that seems to be affecting it. But, if it is something causing it environmentally, that’s a safer option to eliminate ussually.

         If anybody knows a researcher with an artificial intelligence program which they could setup a web page for, anybody with this could enter all the stuff they eat or are exposed to, and the program could identify common patterns of exposure to corresponding patterns of symptoms. Even 10 people could give a clue, hundreds would be a nice sample size, as we are looking at people defintly with the problem.

         Posted by Wayne | June 6, 2020, 12:03 pm

       - Hi Kelly, that is great information to research. My place doesn’t get much direct light, so I don’t get to see much flying. I’m going have to check the fan now, and get some more direct lighting, to see what’s around.

         I have found similar things to you.

         I gave up on the diatomaceous earth around the home, a real mess and didn’t stop me from being bitten on the floor which was covered. I still intend to use it for general insects, around walls and outstside.

         I stopped using insecticidal essential scented oils. The bugs seem to be attracted to it when the smell goes down over a few hours. Wherever I’ve used it on me, the bugs will concentrate on. When using any fragrance too. My hands where getting infested much more until I started using unscented soaps, like castile soap.

         I’m basically using a wide sticky paper lint roller before going to bed each night, if I haven’t changed fresh sheets. Collects lots of stuff, but have to straighten sheets and overlap the roll runs to get most of them up. I’m too sick to vacuum every day.

         What do you mean they get into your walls? I know that using vinegar to mop the floor didn’t pick them up with the rubber foam mop, it just went straight over them. Are you seeing grubs on the wall or others? Are you using anything with fragrances on the walls?

         Could you list the cycles and types of bugs you see Kelly? I’m doing up my own list of stuff to post.

         Kelly, I wouldn’t post your personal email on line, so spam programs etc don’t get it. You could ask people to message you from YouTube (if they still allow that) and ask bugman to remove the email (copying your message first incase he has to remove it and you need to repost it.

         I think this is your YouTube home page address copied from the web browser address:

         https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCZ2MEg4mNfYbkqBqMWsz9gg

         I couldn’t really tell much on this phone. The camera quality makes it difficult. These phones tend to have washed out, low resolution, low latitude (range of brightness before it goes white on screen) and low amount of information to record the image every second. Virtually all phones are terrible in the amount of information in video. So, taking stills on good phones are better evidence, except in showing movement behaviour, or authenticity. Even then, you need a little tripod like stand, or better type, to hold the phone still, and a remote shutter button ($5 maybe at cheap store) so it doesn’t shake when you take the picture. I use an android app called FreeDcam, where I can manually focus set contrast and brightness to get the details to turn up, and set jpeg still quality in settings to 100%. It’s a bit of a handful, and sometimes you have to long press it on the android app side bar to get to storage to reset all the data to get into work properly again. Swiping from the left side gives you the settings where the jpeg 100 setting is (anything above 90 is great), also hook to use volume or external shutter button. You can also set maximum resolution, which doesn’t seem to all get displayed on screen when taking a picture. Swiping up from the bottom gives you zoom icon on the bottom of the screen, then focus, and towards the right contrast and focus. When you touch one, the control pops up on the right side, where the selection for movie or picture is. On the left side of the screen is the control for flash or torch. Heaps better then using standard android camera app though.

Be sure to cover any thing that starts to hurt, or open sore. .anywhere you go you are dropping eggs,and possibly spreading. I also vacuum EVERYTHIN EVERYNIGHT. Its very time consuming and im tired.

       - I am also so tired of this. Close to 8 yrs for me. I have tried every thing. I feel for all of you. Hopefully one day they will take us seriously. They take the will of life away from me.eat all the elasticity from my skin.are they in your hair and face??

       - Hi Kelly.

         There is hope. I’ll repeat my latest update here for you:

         An update:
         ERADICATION, TREATMENT, DESCRIPTION, SYMPTOMS and PROCEDURES Details:

         Invisible bug Syndrome, Black Mystery Bugs / slugs / worms Iran.

         Note: this is not medical or health advice, but reporting on events. Do not depend on it for such, refer to a higher authority/professional about it.

         Lots of updates, which I don’t have time for. So here are some I wrote earlier:

         I am trying to find the morgellons group liquid ivermectin dosing and buying information I read about?

         The following links, had great information to quick cures.

         - I’ve determined they don’t like the sulfur in MSM, or salt.

         - I just came across this Facebook page that gets rid of the stuff out of the skin instantly before your eyes. It has a few other dramatic treatments too.

         https://m.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=142743812522372&id=153560981424357

         - Here is another thread of posts with some pretty good treatments. A guys talks about possible thrips too, but guys are talking about figuring out they are coming in the house from outside, and certain trees, and caulking everything, to stop being reinfected. But, I am increacing my immune system, and MSM and salt in diet (and b12 b group vitamins and methylation like i said), that can resist them. I’ve been having a where are they coming from moment, here aswell. They hate my coloidal silver, but after using the listerine mouth wash the first time in ages, they come in after. I didn’t use the Johnson and Johnson bed time baby soap today, and am showing mite symptoms, but they still are showing me much less interest as I build up the MSM biological sulfur in my tissues. Sulphur is used in mite skin treatment, but msm is the biological supplementary form.

         https://bitingbugs.wordpress.com/2008/05/20/microscopic-biting-bugs-make-me-really-itchy/#comments

         - A book procedure, also explains why it’s so insane to get rid of and protection mechanisms. Basically, the ivermectin doesn’t kill larva or adults, but dosing it motivates out of your skin. The stuff, and worms. Infests tissues, so hard to get rid of, but unless you deal with the internal infestation, you won’t get rid of them. They adjust to treatment and come back. A scabies attack compromises the immune system long term, allowing many parasites in. Maybe the same happens with us, with whatever parasite?

       - Thatâs exactly right wayne, and also what ive been saying the entire time. They are coming from outside, around the perimeter of my home. From trees, and blackberry bushes. That is why I sprinkle diatom outside every few weeks. That is also why I told you, that you neeed to figure out and get rid of what ever parasite you had in the first place. Until then you wouldnât get rid of them. I will say it again too. VINEGAR. Its imperative. It kills them. You must be persistent. I donât have to do it anymore, but I did every night before I showered, or while in the shower. It stings really bad in the beginning, and it will again if one happens to get on you. But I do not have these problems anymore abd havenât for along time. But no one listens to me. I have now begun scraping and painting the walls in my home. They dig themselves into the tress and they were ruining my wood in the house as well. plus theyd come out at night and bite me. But not anymore, and my daughter no longer has a problem with getting bit while here. When I get done working outside I spray my clothes down with orange oil and always spray myself with vinegar. Only one time was I covered with them again, and that was after I scraped down my bathroom to paint it. Other than that. No issues here. Truly hoping you find some relief soon.

464. ERADICATION, TREATMENT, DESCRIPTION, SYMPTOMS and PROCEDURES Details:

     Invisible bug Syndrome, Black Mystery Bugs / slugs / worms Iran.

     Note: this is not medical or health advice, but reporting on events. Do not depend on it for such, refer to a higher authority/professional about it.

     For the sake of everybody, in the hope that some researcher may be able to help us (I give the site permission to contact me if any suitable competent researcher turns up and wants to help). I have listed description of bugs, symptoms, procedures used to handle them, and treatment and eradication details known so far below. Once I can establish a good place for a thread on them, I can try to post a link here. Together we can do more than alone..

     It looks like no one was here before, but I have made a number of new discoveries, which is rather concerning.

     I am getting brown spots on the skin from where the parasites were. There was an Aboriginal guy in a unit next door to my friend, who had these distinct brown spots all over every inch of visible skin, and distinctly different from freckles. The bugs were crawling under the walls into my friends unit, where they more lightly attack him, and where I was attacked. The original guy is now dead. He had blood cancer, was healed by probably an immune boosting cancer treatment, and a while latter he got sick and died. Before he died, they got rid of the mattress because it was so full of bugs. My friend had thought it was bed bugs last year, and after I got it, thought the ones I could see looked like some form of lice, and too different from scabies. However the parasite is definitely a lot different in form from these.

     I need to find a good entomology forum with experts, start a thread asking for help on identifying, detailing, and working out detailed handling, treatment and eradication of the bug. Unfortunately, my white matter brain disease has not been treated properly and degraded due to this, and the bugs themselves are injecting me with so much pain kliller, that my skin is pretty numb, and my mental facilities are slipping away. I finished near the top of my university in a technical discipline, so still have enough faculity left to do some stuff, but I often can’t even do the things I was good at. I have had to stop for over a month because I was sick and too worn out, and had other priorities, and have been meaning to get back here and find a place to start a thread for a number of weeks since then. The bugs rebounded due to lack of treatment, and got so bad one night I nearly was going to call an ambulance. But, even though I am good enough to do this at the moment, I lack follow through, often continuosly forgetting what I was aiming to do next. I have three distinct memory problem causing issues, and the bug stuff is not helping, so despite restarting treatment I am still getting issues.

     I have unfortunately, tried to squeeze some out of my arms a few weeks back, which led to unhealing wounds (from digestive secretion of the bugs). I had put an aloe vera based denat alcohol hand sanitizer over them when out, and neglected to wash it off before bed, which only attracted the bugs to infest the skin, as they are attracted to all sorts of scents once the odor goes down, and probably aloe vera. However, finding lots of painful lumps on fresh skin under my elbow, I rubbed the have sanitizer into there and kept rubbing, and many fresh bugs came out, except a few deeply entrenched ones that probably were there for days. Did this across my arms and got many dozens to come up. Daunting there were do many after I let my procedure down for weeks. Have retried this days latter, nothing much non my arm again but much on my legs and torso. I am yet to investigate samples, verify if genuine bugs or the world’s best defoliation formula. However I am getting genuine hard body bugs up as well. I dscovered using two different hand sanitizer formulas motivated the reaction. One formula (Alcohol Denatured, Purified Water, Vegetable Glycerine, Tocopherol Acetate, Aloe Vera, Carbomer, EDTA, Fragrance) worked a little, but used with the other (Alcohol Denatured, Water, Glycerine, Carbomer, Aminomethyl propanol, Isopropyl Myristate, Triethanolamine, Tocopheryl Acetate, Aloe Vera) it worked a lot. But (due to other things), I have neglected to examine the samples to verify they are grubs and not exploitation.

     It turns out the infestation is coming from the digestive tract, crawling out falling to the feet or crawling on the skin and inserting, attaching itself, being coughed up, what I presume is larvae and not lung, getting into every orface on the head, including skin around eye socket. Now. Here is the interesting thing. I thought it might have been multiple bug species, as after the infestation started my smell changed more, and all sorts of bugs were attracted to me, but it appears that this is one of those bugs that have several forms.

     Forms:

     The dot like larvae. These will feed turn colour which is ussually red to brown to darker, in this part of the bug world. They also have hair like features and collect lint like threads, like a cocoon. You can see the pinchers and head and body sticking out sometimes. But, I don’t have instruments to tear them apart for a good look inside the lint, but they move up your leg. Different lint, different colour. I try not to use cotton, are attracted to cotton on skin. They are hard and resitant to crushing.

     Ok, another form which maybe related to the larvae which are very transparent younger, transparant on my mid grey sheets like a jellyfish in water. Extremely difficult to see, and on skin they may appear Invisible. Bigger tapered flattish larvae going up to maybe over 1cm long. Real mushy, easily squashed. They nest under the skin, slight raised up areas with a thin slit can be seen on the skin under magnification. However, you may see the air tube sticking out of lumps under magnification, with a whitish mass underneath the skin. Different appearances on different types of the skin. These are hard to pop out, but can be found on the floor. But here is the rub, when one feels something biting you or wriggling around, it maybe under your skin. Rubbing hard on your skin, generating heat, may not be killing fungus as suggested elsewhere, but instead squashing these or disrupting their air tubes. I had to knock off a dozen or more and didn’t know what they were at the start, squashing easily accidentally. But it is more strange.

     Another form is like a hollow smooth transperant flat plastic tube of various thickness and length, curled up in angles at times. These are very painful. I think they might be a female form, as I observed a bunch come out after a treatment aggregated them. One was maybe a centermeter long that was trying to cut a grove into my toe nuckle, I believe to insert itself. I did get pictures of it, with what looked similar to an black eye, light coloured with some ribbing and what looked like might be the start of caterpillar legs, and pictures of the grove wound I took it off of, and submitted it to still get an invalid undetermind result. It’s like it’s a new life form, weird. I have been getting these nasty pains and short deep cut like scratches over my skin, not knowing where they came from, during sleep. But you can see a lighter coloured lumpy area next to the grove. I’ve pulled them out of my ear too and had a long thin one wriggling around on my ear wax in my ear, before starting to clean out each day. Resitant to flushing out of ear with warm water. A speck of alcohol will make the mid sized tubes curled up in angles, jump 5-10cm in an instant.

     The pupa stage, tends to jump unexpectedly at times, erratically, and can scurry really fast and smoothly like a Phorid fly.

     Ok. Caterpillar and moth stage. They get in the sinuses, mouth to live, and I had a caterpillar crawl out of my mouth. Had nasty pinchers and got away. The caterpillar looked exactly like, and the same size, as caterpillar of a moth, Tischeria ekebladella, which prays on chestnut trees. I had twin micro moths that looked like the chestnut ones borrow through thick socks to really bite into the feet when I was asleep. They were so caught in the sock, I had to remove some of the sock fibre with them to get them out. I had tried unsuccessfully to knock them out, they are extremely tough bodied.

     I have seen minute things which looked like the spring tail that has the rounder distorted shape in a sketch I have seen of Sminthuridae, and pupa that looked a bit like the one which looks more like a beetle, the Poduridae in the same sketch, but did not know to check at the time to confirm that. I generally haven’t been letting them get big enough for a long time. But I have just seen a Friesea posada diagram from the Neanuridae family which looks similar shape to the slug, but so does a lot of things including maggots.

     Associated behaviours and Symptoms:

     I have seen them flick away with a big knock as I try to photograph them. But I have also noticed things fly away after opening plastic clothing bags bagged hot from the dryer a long time before. They generally are very heat resistant at various stages. I have further seen very small things fly by on occasion that are not lint. There is not much direct light to see floating lint.

     Prior to the chestnut tree based moth connection, I had thought they possibly were a desert lakes creature from the cotton fields of Eurasia, where a lot of pesticides were used, to account for their water resistance and love of water, heat and drying resistance, and insecticide resistance and love of cotton. I have read mention that the first real recognition of this bug was from a doctor in Iran, which is in this general area, but have not been able to find details. Anybody know?

     I had bird nests in the roof guttering, a water leak collapsed the ceiling letting a rat down.

     However, I ate something in a Taiwanese special soup that was chestnut like, about the size of a tropical version, and it was mushy inside. Having never eaten chestnut, I didn’t know about that. So, again, which cause, which bug, or more than one bug. Our understanding of the area is fundamentally flawed. The reason why certain bugs attack people or not, is not because it is written that way, it is because they want too. Change the biological factors producing the attraction for the bug, they will attack humans. Humans are not attacked all the same because of what is written, humans vary in biology from human to human, so individuals can be attacked differently. As reported, one human can be constantly attacked in bed while the one next to them is left alone, or in a work place.

     Squash, or kill the visible bug with poison, in the clothing or seam, and it stops biting, which wouldn’t happen if it was fungus or reaction to insect parts stinging you.

     They like water areas.

     During showering, the bugs would be knocked off, and would quickly relocate themselves, just latching onto the next piece of skin further on. Required a number of attempts till they would hit the smooth shower floor where they would latch on under running water and latch onto the feet if stepped on. In wet areas they would be in water ready to latch on.

     They spread over dry floor and latch on instantly. Dropping my cloth wallet on the floor under furniture, bright up many small bugs on it aswell.

     Heavily infested mats.

     A lot on the floor where seated. Wiping sandel across the floor might scuff them up and reveal them, aswell as paper towels.

     Have developed many floaters in my eyes, from none before, like others have,, a few dark spots, and see a sort of pattern when I wake up and open my eyes at night. One time I woke up and everything was completely orange for less than a minute. Never had anything like that happen before. Very occasionally, a long thin worm can be seen in my vision, which is moved away with blinking

     They love cotton. Bright cotton sheets seemed to attract more. Lit room seem to have more which are active. Unsure about the lit room, as this was before it was more controlled.

     Procedures:

     Survival in laundrying:

     - Soaking:

     I have put cloths in hot buckets of water just bioled, and with bi-carbonate soda, salt (salt without anti-caking agent works better), vinegar, insecticide maldison, or borax, for hours and they survived. So, I did it trying for over 24-27 hours+, weighed down full submersion to get past them holding their breath, and less survived.

     Salt and natural borax probably worked better. Maybe vinegar. Good metric cups of Borax, salt or vinegar were tried. But those may have been too little.

     The natural, more potent, version of borax worked better than the 10 hydrogen form of borax, which didn’t do much.

     - Washing:

     Hot 95c wash 2:51 hours, but they survived. The temperature sensor was faulty,

     - Drying. This is the kicker:

     2 hours in condenser dryer not enough, 3:30-4:30 hours (less in convection dryer, which is a fire hazard) at least. The dryer was also faulty with drying function and temperature. However, from my reading I determined that it’s the drying out that ussually kills bugs, but not all bugs, and maybe not these. So, I found when everything was bone dry and cotton smelt slightly cooked, it seems to work. But this is: dry too much and it catches alight and burns your house down with you and your family in it, so I am there for all drying cycles, and awake for all the convection dryer cycle. I actually close the laundry room door for it to get hotter. It reaches above 80 degrees inside the dryer. I am still experimenting, but trying to do an extra 30-50 minutes once it reaches this temperature. The condenser dryer is harder to figure out the temperature inside, but it was generally less than 80 degrees. Once the cloths go bone dry it reaches above a certain temperature. I basically have given up the soaking procedures for now and am trying this one. Literally drying and cooking the bugs.

     - Bagging:

     Bagging hot direct from the old 4:30 hours plus condenser dryer, after over 24 hours soaking in boiled water with killing agent above. After 2 weeks bagged, open after showering with no contamination on me, putting a shirt straight on straight from the bag, was attacked in stiching in the sleeve. Turning the sleeve out, and there is a cluster of little black dot bugs grouped together in the stitching. It is unbelievable. Removing them, removes the issue.

     Bathing:

     Unscented soap. I’ve heard castile soap, vhich seems to help, and stings being high pH

     Defloliating gloves. Originally I was trying to get bugs from the skin during showering. I made the mistake of not using them for a while, as it is very time consuming with everything else going on. Seems lots more in the skin as a result. When I finally went to use the gloves, I felt pain in locations likely with substantial larvae under the skin, likely scrapping against their breathing tube. So, I grip, rub hard and rub up and down and around back and forwards. I am still researching this, but it seems effective, and my skin is a bit tough.

     Skin and floor:

     Hot water tap water motivates them to let go on skin and shower floor.

     People have used hair dryer.

     Wearing sandles all the time to avoid touching floor and getting instantly attacked at times.

     Removed heavily infested mats (evenn/ though not cotton).

     Using the wrong mop will leave them behind on the floor surface.

     Control and Eradication,:

     Diatomaceous Earth on floor may not have worked, but hasn’t been retested.

     Many household pesticides did not work (lost my list of them).

     Two spray cans merely stunned them for a day or two, and they came back erractically pissed off. However, when used together, they seemed to have an effect, however, I’m yet to prove that.

     The five active ingredients in the two cans, are:

     - Imiprothrin, Cypermethrin (Coles Crawling Insect Killer)

     and

     -Tetramethrin 20:80, Bioallethrin, d-phenothrin (Coles Flying Insect Killer. I wonder if this has changed).

     I don’t know if other brands will get the same result, as it could also have something to do with the inactive ingredients.

     I merely shake, point them together above my head spraying back and forwards as i walk and aim through everywhere in the house, so it quickly falls on everything. A good strong overhead fan can help distribute it around under things. But interferes with spraying, so I may try to spray above the fan for it to blow it down and around, but turning the fan on after probably uses less spray. The two cans could do a very small house. If it actually works and how much is needed, is unknown. These sprays can be explosively dangerous, burn your house down territory. So, I turn off all heating elements, flames if any, and electrical stuff that could spark an explosion and fire. The chemical residue could also mar and wreck items like TV and monitor screens and glasses and so much more. It also can be toxic to you. I am yet to narrow down a life cycle of the bugs, but am trying to test every two to three days. Normal flea bombs with pyrethrum seemed to do nothing much except make them aggravated.

     There is another spray that seems it may work, but makes one want to cough their lungs out and throw up their insides, within seconds of using it. I use a chemical painting mask using it, and another friend with the bug issue, finds it useful. However, I’m not spraying that toxic stuff above my head. It contains ESFENVALERATE.

     There is a “professional” (supermarket product) one that seemed to calm things down fur maybe 3 days, but as I find the bugs are internal they could have come from there after three days. I will have to revisit to find out. It contained Deltamethrin.

     - Vinegar on the floor seems to help.

     - Salt less so.

     - Ethanol. Extreme reaction in tubular worm phase, unknown how strong in the other phases. But used to get the little black bug phase out of hair or off skin.

     - isopropyl. I think stronger reaction, but ran out of it. Needs to be tested.

     - Am going try a fumigation, by spraying vinegar on the floors, sealing up the house running the fans full, aimed for complete air circulation, for hours. This is just something I came up with, after noticing the strong acidic fuming where I had to air the place out for many hours. If vinegar is toxic to them, maybe the fumes are too. However, they are still active when using vinegar on skin, maybe. As it has to be determined if it is movement in the embeds made in the skin while holding breath, or purely external movement.

     Tried ozone generator (potentially deadly, as can produce coughing and passing out in the gassing zone, of you, family, visits, people next door pets). There are professionals. Undetermind, due to not realising that infestation was internal and could still around because of that or the ozone not working). May need several to over 27 hours of pulsed use. Anything over several hours is not worth it, ozone can oxidise things, so can be bad, especially like things containing rubber within minutes.

     Steamer, to be tried.

     Personal control:

     Before getting into the next more drastic control treatments, I want to mention a more natural one, that sticks and stings if misused:

     - Salt and white vinegar in water concentrated.

     Ok, vinegar is nasty, concentrated salt is better but if too concentrated, it forms crystals that get over the sheets. I forget how deterred from biting the vinegar made bugs, but salt largerly made them crawl over me and bite a lot less. Used together, seems to be more effective again, not perfect.

     - soaking feet in the same in warm water helps. Spraying has been used.

     - Blocking using a paper towel folded and soaked in concentrated salt water or salt and vinegar, pretty much makes more of them pool and embed beneath and around it. Using some pyrethrum cream might have helped, mixed in with petroleum jelly to stop them escaping. Some get trapped, others pas through. Some paper towels capture better like cotton, some are hard and don’t. Some system like this could form a proper seal and capture the bugs in a material matrix where they die, and are thrown or disposed of, which would break one part of the cycle, but the internal cycle is most dangerous and important to be broken too. So, it’s possible, and I reserve rights, to make a little pouch that inserts and likely hangs out, with or without attractant to lure bugs to go into and get trapped, either by restricted access blocking exit, some fibre matrix or sticky substance, or other. In reality, if it does not break the cycle and rid the parasite out, it is of a limited effect, and had to be regularly replaced (a special underware insert or liner, would be better), but is very good for collecting samples. A cotton like roll from a bandage was tried very unsuccessfully.

     I have flushed eyes with pure warm water, but difficult to get them out. I tried blinking at the sane time.

     Wiping closed eyes with dry tissues or hanky.

     Flushing skin with extra warm+ tap water while avoiding burning.

     Wearing polyester clothing without loose fibres (fur). Areas where they are crawling or biting, you can pinch hard with fingers and roll to deal with or kill them. Works well. On back, a back scratcher with rake like teeth has been used to target them.

     Open footware all the time on the floor in building. Will get into any cloth or notches on footware it watches. Hose footware clean with tap hot or boiling water to get off them

     Air movement from overhead fans seem to deter them a bit. They like calm stillness before they move, but will eventually move anyway without stillness.

     Now, onto potentially more toxic methods:

     I am trying some anti mosquito sprays to determine what works, Areogaurd 4 hour oderless, and 6 hour tropical strength. Both have different formulas. There was some success with one spraying it up the region of bug departures, which detered them from coming out when you are still asleep at night and attacking. But, if you do one area and they flee through, they will attack and embed in nearby untouched regions, where as they will otherwise have just spread up the body towards the head or down towards the feet, and areas with scent used on them. But if everything is covered they have nowhere to rest. Pretty drastic. So, they keep up there and come out more mature, past the more aggressive bite and embed everything phase. One was pulled out from somewhere and it just tried to quickly bury hard into my finger painfully, and very hard to pull or even scrape out.

     - It seems that the tropical protection 6 hour formula might even kill the bugs (Ingredients: Butane, Alcohol Denat., Diethyl Toluamide, Isopropyl Myristate, N-Octyl Bicycloheptene Dicarboximide, Fragrance). But, this could be one of the non active ingredients doing this. It also contains fragrance, and I suspect they are attracted back when the deterrent odor wears off enough after maybe 4 hours.

     - The oderless 4 hour protection will deter them (ingredients: Alcohol Denat., Butane, Isopropyl Alcohol, Picaridin, Isopropyl Myristate). Picaridin is an artificial pepper derivative (I think, from memory).

     The issue is, enough may come out before application to then attack the skin, where a ring of infested lumps maybe left under tight seals of garments. So, ability to also kill is important, which stops the assault on the skin. So, salt/vinegar has been also tried.

     A combination of both sprays is to be retried.

     DEET spray, did not seem to produce results.

     Now, pyrethrum is not very effective. But pyrethrum cream seems to be in reducing bugs in the skin. Maybe they are getting a higher concentration with cream in their breathing tubes when they start breathing again, but they will still crawl onto your skin and over.

     Low odor kerosene and pure gum terperntine, are potentially easily quickly deadly from singular easy mistakes, and used very carefully. They are not just any poisonous kerosene or turpentine product, but specific ones of specific very small quantities. The low gum turpentine is actually from pine trees. It seems to be ineffective on me. The kerosene however, somebody online recommended (same source as the Iran information I cannot track down). I have to retest it, but think it might have had a better outcome on me than pure gum, but I switched over to pure gum before I found out. There are specific guides out there about how to use these, but even I nearly made the deadly mistake. But there, appears, there might be a community out there with experience in using this for a mystery black bug. I wish I could track them down, if anybody knows? So, big warnings, seek higher advice and do not depend on information here, and if you do anything, do so at your own risk. This is not medical or health advice, just a report about observations of what others have done, and myself.

     Worming treatments:

     - Ivercertin, I can’t say, did three doses with limited effect. Trying the cream.

     - Pyrantel. Three doses, internal infestation survived.

     - Mebendazole. Three doses, internal infestation survived.

     - Albendazole. Still trying, second dose, maybe it had some effect, maybe it is the other treatments on at the moment, but the internal infection seems to be going down.

     Tried castor oil on warm milk, and it can result in a good flush and maybe some aggressive tube like, potential females, to come out, but don’t don’t get rid of it.

     So, now things are getting complex, something is effecting the internal Parasite numbers well, and something is causing them to attack my skin less, but due to the overwhelming resurgence I was responding too and other things, where I stopped testing items individually, I don’t know which is causing the reduced numbers. Frankly, I don’t want to go back to individual testing, and risk a resurgence, it’s enough. They are making progress to more parts of my body, and closer to parts of the brain cavity, so enough is enough, it has to finish. It basically has interfered in two vital areas I was about to get too, after calming down the extremely debilitating long term effects of the white matter brain disease and a few other things which start killing people who have them by my age, and even over ten years earlier. I already had successfully come out of extreme physical health issues with treatment, just before this started.

     - Ethanol. Extreme reaction in tubular worm phase, unknown how strong in the other phases. But used to get the little black bug phase out of hair or off skin.

     - isopropyl. I think stronger reaction, but ran out of it. Needs to be tested. This alcohol is more toxic and can be absorbed through the skin in toxic quantities, and damages eyes and very little give runs etc. So, pays to read the safety data on how not to use, and how little to use.

     Nasal flushes to get infestation in cavity. I’ve used bottled purified water, Bi-carbonated Soda, with salt as well maybe better, on it’s own unknown. But make too strong and the wind pipe siezes up choking one self, and I have to urgently flush out with water on the instance. So the standard dose on the product is probably preferable. More than a half a teaspoon in total in a 250ml bottle of watmish water might be too strong for me even.

     Using salt water in mouth helped.

     Flushing the ears with warm purified water limited, they still hold on. Using ethanol in ears etc, helps. I use a cotton bud soaked in ethanol. These are dangerous to use, a bump and the ear drum can be ruptured. The Japanese have an industry of ear cleaning tools. I do not know a safe solution for getting them out of my ear

     Vicks Vapour rub, around the nose and under it, even around the ears to stop infestation is limited. The fumes from under the nose seems to effect them. But it is a smell, and by morning they seem to have gone through it.

     Finish more toxic.

     Cotton wool in ears. Limited, even with Vicks Vapour rub around, they still get past it.

     Worming treatments continued:

     So, the list of what may not be, but could be part of the reduction:

     Tablespoon+ virgin coconut oil.
     Teaspoon+ Tumeric powder.
     Teaspoon+ Cayenne Chillie Pepper powder. Fresh stuff is supposed to retain more active ingredient, and people even make it fresh and freeze it. I get a good supply and freeze it.

     Now, how well does the work? I had been doing this at the same time as the castor oil on warm milk, which might have been cleaning it out of my system before it could affect them, invalidating the results. So, was the affect afterwards from this, or something else? But with garlic I think it works better.

     2-3 cloves+ garlic.

     Now, I had started the albendazole, which I was not detecting a result to at that stage, so I started:

     Teaspoon+ ginger. Seemed to be working, but I changed from an over 60% darker ginger jar to an over 90% lighter brown grey jar (which is suspiciously more liquid) and it doesn’t seem to be working. There are different types of ginger, which could have been a different potency action. But I also changed the treatment mix, so it could be something else, like diatomaceous earth use, or even lanchoo tea use. Combination retesting is underway, so it is hard to tell (for each extra ingredient the number of combinations greatly increases, not including facture of quantity type and delivery, so it can be millions of possibilities. However, I try elimination combinational testing, where an different individual ingredient is dropped each test, before trying droping larger and larger combinations of things. At a week a time that could take months, years, to work through a set of 10-20 ingredients to a result. Do, an educated guess of combinational elimination is quicker, however, before one can get a result retested, one is cured, not knowing if the latest combination, or the prior one, or something else really cured it. You don’t have to actually repeat to get a result, but when it’s not isolated from other possible causes you need to repeat to be more certain. Fortunately, it’s likely to be only a few things, which will help immensely. Others likely will also notice they had the same benefit in seperate combinations, repeated, which maybe likely candidates).

     Oliver leaf extract

     Lanchoo black tea.

     Diatomaceous Earth: Orally. This might be what is working, but it seems to be rebounding since I dropped all the other stuff.

     On my aspirin treatment again for a brain disease. Unfortunately, the bugs, the worming treatments, and a few of my other conditions affect my atp energy cycle, requiring the use of olive leaf extract and vitamin C, so hard to test everything, and individually, as I have to carefully keep things in mind and remember what to do to test which one is causing the benefit.

     Antibiotic for the white scabs on toes from bugs getting into wounds. White grubs were coming out of my skin. What caused that, was it the antibiotic? So, I was given another antibiotic for something else, and noticed the bugs coming out, and crawling around. One previous time they came out of my skin but also around the eye socket. Not such a nice feeling. Have many floaters in my eye from none previously. Can see very occasional thin long worm on the eye which is moved away when blinking.

     —

     Taking samples and identifying:

     It seems that experts are a bit picky as to how they receive samples. I would like some advice on how to present and preserve samples?

     To take pictures there are a number of factors. Your phone may well be very poor at videos or pictures. Ussually phones are not very good for video. A good phone and a good phone microscope attachment could take good pictures, if held steady at the right distance to focus and fill the picture through a stable phone camera stand, maybe a shutter button to avoid shaking the phone, or something setup to hold it at the right distance. Except for movement and proof of authenticity, stills pictures are ussually better quality to use on phones. A cheap microscope which has a good camera, or a phone can be attached too, lit from above, is probably better. A good normal camera can be better than a phone.

     The resolution, the amount of brightness between dark and bright it can handle (dynamic range of latitude), the noise level, the clarity of picture, lens, and color etc, make a big difference to pictures. There are reviews on the internet of phones and their cameras you can search for on google. Gsmarena has a good phone database which you can search some phone camera features on. Generally, close focus distance/macro, higher resolution capability and higher optical zoom, all with a good lens, are desirable. Lower resolution with a good microscope is also good.

     Filming with a torch or flash needs latitude. Filming in dim light nerds low noise, and low light ability with good amounts of information recorded in the video.

     The low amount of information to record the video image every second makes phone video poor. Most phones are terrible in the amount of information in video in 4k/UHD or 8k. The FreeDCam app below, can be setup to get extra information in video camera footage, if available. Generally, anything beneath 36 mb/s fullhd/1080p is poor in h264/Avc video encoding codec or half that in the hevc/h265 codec or half that again for the next codec after that. At 72mb/s h264 it is professional quality and more suitable for evidence, if everything else above was also good quality. So, you will probably find many cheaper phones will do less than 20mb/s with the app below, which is not great but maybe much better than what amount of information the phone records at as standard, which might be 13mb/s to below 9mb/s. But, to use 4k/UHD or 8k, you need 4 times the amounts above for 4k/UHD, and 16 times for 8k. Maybe no phone does that for 4k/UHD and definitely none do it for 8k by far. If you can get 80mb/s+ in 4k/UHD. It might be worth it for 4 times the resolution over fullhd. But 36-72mb/s fullhd instead is still great to use. A trick is to hold steady in well lit picture to make best use of the information space available.

     I use an android app called FreeDcam, where I can manually focus, and set contrast and brightness to get the details to turn up, and set jpeg still quality in settings to 100%. It’s a bit of a handful, and sometimes you have to long press it on the android app side bar to get to the i icon and then to storage after you press it, to be able to reset all the FreeDcam app data to get it to work properly again. Swiping from the left side gives you the settings where the jpeg 100 setting is (anything above 90 is great), also hook to use volume or external shutter button. You can also set maximum resolution, which doesn’t seem to all get displayed on screen when taking a picture. You can try changing video settings, but very difficult, and doesn’t let you know it isn’t working properly that much (test, time consuming). Swiping up from the bottom gives you zoom icon on the bottom of the screen, then focus, and towards the right contrast and brightness. When you touch one, the control pops up on the right side, where the selection for movie or picture is. On the left side of the screen is the control for flash or torch. Heaps better then using standard android camera app though.

     Thank you.

     - Breakthrough: I’ve found an species that might be related to what we have, and the Romanians have identified and being analysing it before 2003, and a US research team then! But, people have been talking about scabies like insect, or hairy scabies as well. But it doesn’t explain the maggot of tapeworm like phases. But, the CDC is looking into the Morgellons link. Have a look around about it yourself, and see what you think.

       I was looking up Collembola (Springtails) website for some similar shapes to what I’ve seen, then I spotted a fuzzy one that looked a bit like what I have seen. Now, looking up further information about that lately I found people saying this is basically what they are seeing and pulling off themselves in Morgellons cases. I had naively discounted Collembola and Morgellons, because what I saw did not fit the springtail shape I saw online, and the Morgellons is supposed to have no substance apart from a strange hair like growth from the skin. However, noticing somebody claiming it produced pain trying to pull the hair, I was going to ask if they could observe a mass at or next to the base of it, and if it bulged up when they pulled at the hair like structure next to it, but think I forgot. Have a look at the comments, contains some useful treatments:

       https://bugguide.net/node/view/61446/bgimage

       I however, strongly suspect that there is multiple insect species being attracted to previously started infestation, like the flying ones. I have a micro-wasp having out in the water in my aircon drainage, like the one that lays eggs in woodworms, which we discovered here, which comes through and stings around where the other infestation is. So, at least two species here.

       Foreign Wikipedia article that mentions the finding and links to the following report:

       https://sk.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chvostoskoky

       https://www.zeit.de/2004/40/N-Insekten-Wahn

       I have noticed chest pains, shortness of breath weakness and coughing small things up after this started. Like with Chagas disease, do these things also seem to touch the heart and lung as we know they have some sort of anaesthetic they release, or is it a seperate infestation issue?

       (See also: https://agrilifeextension.tamu.edu/library/gardening/springtails/ )

       So, where is this CDC investigation and other research.

465. Guys please (PLEASE HELP)
     I don’t know what’s happening
     My doctor as well,I try any treatment for scalp.

     - Try John Amico Medaclear shampoo; it is actually medicine and it stopped my scalp itching; it was itching for some years and this stopped it completely. you can order online. God bless!

     - I’m very tired and finding it hard to follow, maybe somebody else can step in.

       If it’s not normal stuff it can be weird. So, no normal lices, mites, or scabies?

       If it is what some of us here have, we do not know an easy answer.

       But are you saying that when you meet somebody normal average calmly, your head itches, and you see dandruff fall from your hair? If you feel in there, do you feel rough /very small bumps?

       Read my posts, and others here, to see what similarities you can find. Look up John Sands videos on YouTube on it. Redux 13 is a summary.

       I have tried one of vinegar, isopropyl alcohol or pyrethrum cream repeatedly to get them out till the bumps are gone, as an example, but they come back again from body, bed, internal. So I try to treat internal aswell with treatments mentioned in my post above, and once that is under control, I will try to eliminate from house and body. I avoid all scented soaps, deodorant or shampoos, they love scents, and most things have a fragrance.

       I’ve seen them on head as mites and maggots like light coloured or black/lint covered, and pupae light to brown. I shave my head regularly and use less product from it, and find that low odor kerosine makes extremely good shaving lubricant, also making hair very essy to cut. Low odor kerosene also something I use on my skin against them fur short periods of time on my tough skin (to avoid avoid reactions, see guides out there), but I need to test it properly to find out. Over and behind the ears going behind the head, are ussually crevices where insects like to hang out, I find it a good place to feel for little bumps. I also find they like the crown, the top point, of the head as well.

       Bugs can smell co2 etc from a person near them and react.

       Tell me, where, what time of year, and what things, items, people, crops were near by when you slept for two hours and caught them?

     - Well, I’ve been making some progress in the background, but it is too early to tell if it is genuine.

       First look at the links I posted in previous posts, and my previous post about what I found (and many others here). In the comments section on the bugs guilds page linked too, people share what they find that gets them off the skin as well.

       I realised if the bugs are attracted to certain people because of altered genetic based biochemistry, correcting the biochenistry and immune system biochemistry might (specific vitamins and minerals) help. Taking magnesium malate (but I have taken calcium citrate), they seemed to take a lot less interest. But I don’t know if malate and citrate are part of it, but they are part of the energy cycle and have to be in balanced, without going overboard. It might just be magnesium, without going overboard, it has laxitive affects.

       Somebody have me a hint about something and found B2 was a treatment, and the symptoms of vitamin B2 deficiency overlap the symptoms of various mite infestation. However, on my regime for other things, took a number of vitamins and minerals aswell, and it has not had a complete effect, something was counteracting it. However, taking the magnesium type above again reduced the negative effect. I looked up information on it from my copy of the Nutrient Bible, but can’t really find much overlap with insect symptoms. However, this is early days. There is a significant list to try out individually, but the ones that work for me, might not be right for you. Research your biochemistry genetic defficencies, like in the immune system and big complicated methylation systems, and find out what you need.

       Anyway, if it’s not working they are getting worse. Except I can’t feel it enough to realise. Unfurnately professionals out there believe they are seeing things that aren’t really there, that a number of people see physical evidence of, capture and film, but because it is unusual, and suffers are often unusual, they chose to believe it’s not what the evidence points too. Remember, if you talk about things in a mistaken way, certain ‘professionals’ will believe you are wrong, and if you act unusually, they might believe you are delusional. It’s a psychological association based weakness. You see this presumption based problem in lower class professionals often. Even if they try, when they can’t figure it out, they go to the safe option of presuming it’s not real. It has been researched and shown real for decades, yet this is still going on.

       - Thatâs very interesting Wayne! I will have my daughter look into the vitamins. I know shes always pushing magnesium. She says its very important. Unfortunately, this wont end for me. until I have surgery. it wont matter how many vitamins I try, and I do take b vitamins. My immunosuppressive problem, comes from my thyroid, and until I cam take it out nothing will change. I got my naturalist doctor too late, and she couldnât even treat me naturally. but thatâs good news for a lot of people. Especially if its on point. I truly hope that works for you, and everyone else. Â I will also let my friend know. She isnât doing very well with all of this. Shes the freak out type of person. So of course the doctors think shes crazy. I cant tell oiyou how many times I told her, she must be calm. The very last place I had her take her proof to, was the science university. I told her to stay absolutely calm, and just ask if they could look at it under the microscope, or magnifier would be better. the lady knew, and stated immediately, that it was a parasite, she stood back and suited up. Thais Â the only place that actually listened, and tried to help. But the woman there got the same run around I did with the health department. I just donât get why theres no funding for this. As much as I want it gone, ive learned so much, about a lot of things, and it was actually. fun. I hop to write a book about the experiences my friend and I had during through all of this. Its definetely been interesting. But it has also consumed the better part of my life, and would really like it to be out of my lifeFrom: ?…ask the BugmanSent: Saturday, June 13, : kellytschudin@gmail.comSubject: [New comment] Invisible Biting Bug Syndrome (IBBS) Wayne commented: "Well, I’ve been making some progress in the background, but it is too early to tell if it is genuine.

     - Robin, i am so sorry you.re going through this. a lot of these posts bring tears to my eyes. i have only been dealing with this for a short period of time, unlike most on here,who have been doing this for years. this is what my daughter and i, have come up with. this is a fungus, whether it be soil or,trees around you. you fight a fungus with a fungus. i havent completely gotten rid of them, but i dont get bothered at night anymore, im not getting bit very often at al, and although my hair does,, for the most part, whatever it wants, i do, and can, control most of it. back to the fungus. you need to use things like lemon oil, orange oil, lemon grass, and tea tree oil, to spray everywhere in your home, and i mean everywhere. every corner, behind things, wall, includIng your bed,. until you start feeling better. you cant wear anything twice, wash bedding as much as possible. when this started for me i began spraying everywhere in my home 2-3x daily, even spraying myself, especially if i had been out in my yard. i would spray my head, and body, with vinegar everytime it itched, and it burns. when it begins to burn, spray it again. i promise it wont burn forever. you must leave it on you for atleast ten minutes. i still shower every night,sometimes every other night and i use johnsons baby soap., thats what they use in hospitals for parasite baths,, and i use a loofa, it feels good. i also use natural soaps, and glycerin,before i get out of the shower i spray all the walls and curtain down and rinse. otherwise they will jump back on you., after i scrub with the johnsons. i also spray myself down with vinegar again in the shower. VACUUM!!! its very important to vacuum EVERYTHING! yes even the walls. i use my little brush extension, anddi still vacuum once every night, and i do everything.i luckily dont have carpet, but i did have throw rugs, they are washed and stored in a sealed plastic bag. i wont be using them for awhile, if ever again. i also do not use any hand towels to dry hands or anything. i use paper towels. FOR EVERYTHING. its expensive but it works for me.i treat the entire vicinity all aound my home with diatomaceous earth, you dont need much, and a few weeks ago began treating my trees for fungus infection, which they had really bad..the fungus had a fungus. lol. sorry. i was wondering why everytime i touched the soil it felt like i was getting bit. not to mention if you have a parasite, all the other parasites want a taste too. anyhow, at first all i used was vinegar,its super stinky., but it works. kilss on contact. the tea tree oil works, but not as quickly, as the rest. i am truly sorry if you lost your friends over this, they werent real friends. i got this from my friend, and i wouldnt change it for the world. although in the beginning , i may have beeen concerned about her mental healyh, i wasnt gonna let my friend be alone,.makes me cry. so i stayed open minded, and tried to see what she was seeing, and now theres things i wish i could unsee, but i would do it all over again, for her. exactky the way i did. i hope at some point this gives you some peace. you should be enjoying your life right now, not doing this. take care. im here if you need me just keep in your head, vinegar, oils, and vacuum. you will need to do it a lot at first, but i am now down to be being able to use my bath towel more than once.

       - Note:. Years ago, I had a number of things that I did not know where because of mite infestations, and doctors did not mention, even though treatments were based on ingredients with insecticidal effects,. But I used coloidal or ionic silver water. That generally would have a short term effect, but they would bounce back. So, I suspected it was something else or that the silver water didn’t work on all the things they said did. The mites embedded in skin protected from it, is probably what it was. I’m going try that again, and seemed to get done help when I tried it last week on a difficult spot. I make my own, it is expensive otherwise. There is pure silver water as a colloidal with larger size (but containing mostly ionic silver a lot of the time) with slightly yellow tinge, and ionic silver with much smaller particles in a clear liquid, hopefully of regular concentrations of it. Then their are enhanced versions, with additives or extra concentrated. Putting the later up my nose would induce sneezing fits. I used to spray my eyes and ears, but it binds to selenium needed by the eye. But it gave a lot of relief to daily infection, and flare-ups every few days when not using it.

         ——-

         While I knew that fungus and mould was associated with this Kelly, I didn’t bother about it except as something that might help identify the species the fungus or mould was associated with. I have been using low quality microscope pictures, and seen samples with what looked like this stuff growing on it. But rare to an extent that sticks out due to the quality of image, unless the fuzz we see is part of this. However, something strange happened earlier today.

         I used a new nasal wash solution, and distinct shapes came out which didn’t look like sinus. I have using saline nasal flush to get insects to visibly come out. But been running pretty clear with minute specks that can be detected on the water and a few of soft body forms of the bugs on building up the nasal passages and on the lining, who the during had been just running over. The new solution moved some stuff. However, when I went to collect it, it broke up a d was hard to get to stick to the tight black cotton buds I had got for sampling, to better see what was on it. Just got pain and sneezed some then. I had also pulled done similar more solid causing pain earlier in the week. Anyway, transfering to the jar they just seemed to smear along like a white gel. So I thought I was wasting my time. However, looking at the jar before, they had regrouped into two shapes around the jar, and one had nearly moved up to the lid. Looking at another sample jar of a long worm like shaped specimen, it is a lot bigger (that smaller jar has a loose lid with air gap, they are not proper jars, just packs of little jars I grabbed). Very strange. So, maybe it has a fungus component. I also found that a sticky lint roller sheet I collected as a sample for an appointment, had two decimated samples which had lost there liquid, which I also had such an example in the jar too that just went into a brown blob. However, I found just above the sample, what looked like a brownish soft body had escaped, got really good pictures of it, and sparse brown hairs on its circumference.

         So, thinking about this and amoeba again, I looked them up, and found I had seen most of the large ones, including related to the largest, Scottish one. Some of which look like strange debris. This includes a couple instances of ones that painfully were on my skin and came off, that look like the chaos amoeba family. Taking a look through other groups of kingdoms of life, to see if anything else cane up there (there were hear years ago a new form of life pulled dero from the earth). I found other things I had been microscopy photographing from the Protist group of organisms from the chromista kingdom, where the golden algae looked like the stuff I mentioned earlier seeing a few times on the bugs, however, there is natural fungus which attacks and esrso bugs, which so am still trying to locate to use a very very little on the floor skirting boards around the house. Other groups where there were familiar looking stuff are protozoa group ,(which amoebas are part of) and Euglena group of flagellate eukaryotes, looked like some the smaller more oval and much bigger ones I’ve seen with the flagellum like tail. So, such a tail could perform the flicking action I’ve witnessed.

         However, a warning You can’t trust the images presented on scientifically related web sites, as to what range of appearance a wider group of organisms have, particularly medically related summaries of parasites, they lie. Most insects have not been identify, let alone their behaviours and associated infestations they may carry, such as fungus, so many millions of other unknown insects it could be. The only solution it to look further, study and classify, and classify anything new. It is neglect in my opinion, to dismiss out of hand anything new, without going the due diligence in research and clarification, it limits scientific growth. The same goes for life forms, your entomologist is only a starting point, who lacks the skills to indentify all alternative unclassified organisms or life forms. As an example, in something as simple as a virus, we only know around 6000 out if millions, and not even fully understand their interactions with us, past a group of known effects they have. You do not want somebody handling things who presumes it is something they are familiar with, or it is not real if they can not. Science is about accommodating and classifying the new. Unfurnately, there are a lot of the former who stop every area of medical advancement. Their form of progress is conservative, to stop every area of advancement, and define everything in terms of what they know and refine that, and resist new progress until they have to accept it. Their definition of progress is the smallest steps in safety, with jumps into the new being defined as unsafe jumps into the dark, to be curtailed. Science requires a steady hand, and steady processes of work, so science is full of these people being selected, when science is more than that. So, when you get blocked, this is happening, the medical and scientific organism is trying to figure out what to do with you in it’s own sparse structures. So, non-classificarion in medical terms is directed at delusional presumptions (without proof of actual active alternative mechanisms. ‘Failure to prove is no evidence of nonexistence’ of the only evidence you have, the patient’s testimony of symptoms. So the non-delusional get mixed in with the delusional, according to the fashion of the day, corrupting the scientific data. A simple classification of symptoms based on genetic physiology types to accommodate different types of people, would be enough to identify separate groups of symptoms for each type, and identify which groups are biological rather than psychological. All else is neglect.) rather than researchers in relevant fields who can actually identify and classify anything new or old.

         So, you might see a picture of sparsely hairy mould mites (a reported suspect that carries mould on it and also infests birds which I’ve heard being connected to infestations) or scabies (heard report of a hairy scabies, unlike the ones shown in pictures) or springtails (mite sized and bigger, with a fuzzy one presumed to be a springtail, but was it?) but not realise there are or could be a lot of vastly different looking versions of these, and predatory forms known in a number of species dismissed as not predatory, too much for an entomologist, let alone the millions of insect types they do not yet know, or the millions of other non insect items out there which could be affecting what you see. So, the entomologist maybe only the first step, for fast answers, if they have them. However, I read the US system is onto this, along as they do not treat it like they did chronic fatigue, progress to identification can be rapid.

         Side Note:

         I mentioned enhancing the immune system and making up for genetic based biochenistry issues in things like the methylation cycle, which feeds into the atp energy cycle, which also has immune function. A lot of things in the dirt cheap cancer protocol, listed at the cancertutor site run by doctors with some fancy ideas (such as fungus in cells causing cancer. Which I don’t really believe, though recently I saw a report on something like, new microscopic fungus like stuff has been found floating around. So, what do we really know, maybe it has some relation to a species that does, maybe it doesn’t?) has many ingredients that work to either boost the immune system and/of parts of the atp cycle. The body runs on this energy cycle, and to function correctly, hopefully in dealing with parasites. These guys have listed many other protocols that have been used in cancer treatment.

       - Kelly, you should really look at my previous post. I posted a link there to a page where people commented that there was a CDC program looking into the morgellons already, and it’s seems to might be related. You might find a lot looking into that, and some formal information to use, and people who have practitioners to recommend. There is also the springtail research. I’m too snowed under to look into it yet myself.

         Posted by Wayne | June 14, 2020, 5:42 am

467. Update:

     Somebody has had these. Has anybody come across any of them:

     https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nematomorpha

     https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mermithidae

     Look at the Guinea worm:
     https://theconversation.com/amp/six-human-parasites-you-definitely-dont-want-to-host-17332

     https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3428576/

     Somebody mentioned the organism loves ammonia (but can’t take pure ammonia) which rang bells, as it’s the rotten fish smell. Looking things up, I found vitamin B2 was a treatment for it. I’m getting a lot less harassment having B2 and various magnesium, but it wears off, so I am trying to split my doses, have some with food, alternate through the day for coverage etc. However, I’m doing something I haven’t figured out yet, which makes them aggressive when I take whatever it is. I’m seeing little ones that look a little like the flatter horsehair worm species. One was wriggling around on my earwax on bed.

     However, maybe the ammonia things has something to do with it. Some health issues give ammonia or alcohol smell, like with chronic figure ATP cycle and latic acid bud up. Exercising too much can lead to protein burning for energy, producing ammonia. Diabetes, kidney, and think I read some liver issue, etc. Too little carbohydrates can make your body burn protein, producing ammonia.

     However, that is only one of many odor producing issues the bugs may like. Even the bugs themselves have altered my odor, making me attractive to more species of bugs. The darting little black things I notice occasionally maybe little parasitical wasps, which I have caught and suspect are trying to get at the parasite to host it’s eggs in the parasite. It’s not fun.

     Bad breath in general can come from mouth or digestive tract bacteria etc. Indigestion, like with ASD/Asperger’s, can make your body smell. Pyrroles disorder can give you sickly sweet rotten breath.

     Again, lots of things have fragrances in them, and they seem to be attracted to that.

     Now, an interesting finding, is the white lesions on my skin, and extreme sleepiness, are both things you get from tsetse flies in sleeping sickness. It doesn’t mean it’s the same parasite as in the tsetse fly but could be something remotely like it, which could mean nothing actually related. Eventually it went, but the site has reswollen redish.

     As mentioned before, I’ve found that the black bugs have soft phases, and appear maggot or amoeba like. These shapes came out when the infestation up the nose broke. I’ve seen stuff like Fuligo septica, and others with maggot like shape and with flagellum when younger like Protozoa Flagellates like Euglena.

     Has anybody notice very small things like this in their bugs life cycle:

     https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagellate

     https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euglena

     Seen something like this:
     https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protist

     https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protozoa

     These:

     https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blepharisma

     https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_(genus)

     It is very complicated, but the point is to establish enough similarities to use as points of reference to cross reference and hopefully find which real organism is responsible. Any competent practitioner should be able to identify the general type of sub type of organism responsible. However, the cloud of opportunitistic coparasites can make this difficult.

     While it seems to be an insect, there seems to be an associated wasp and other insects with this, and it his it. Should we be contacting parasitologists rather then entomologists and dematologists who don’t seem to know what is happening?

     Now, I might have to find a worthy parasitologist researcher forums to start a thread to ask for help. That will take time.

     The research and writing of this single post took maybe 15 hours. If anybody would like to heop, please do? My life was rather difficult before this stuff.

     Thanks.

       - I had those two, they are the pits. I had one opening up my toe. It was one of the most painful things, so I stopped ignoring it, and looked down. It was huge, I had to squash it to get it to let go. I took it in the doctor and got it tested, and the lab came back with nothing, and the doctor having seen and acknowledged it, started saying it must be in my head. I’ve got pictures of it and my bleeding scared toe with a nice curved grove. I had multiple samples that day, and I was about to out the sample in a jar, when the collection girl said the lab would handle that. They like missed it and binned the roller, and the little tinny samples were missed. I’m looking at getting legal representation and suing the arse off the lab people responsible. That’s the only way to get them to take their legal responsibility properly. To make them too afraid of a damages law suits (and this has really cost me). Sure you se more likely to get more money suing the organisation, but over here you are more likely to get flippent individuals to do the right thing if they are at risk of loose everything, rather than the employer. They don’t know anything about this, but when I paid to get copies of my results, they didn’t send them, suspicious behaviour considering what happened. I sent a second flat worm in with sheets of samples to the government health department entomologist, with the likely ones on the tapes circled (prechecked with a scope) with that one highlighted, and sent photos. But he spent hardly any time before he binned and emailed he didn’t find anything. By the timing, he didn’t do ANY scientific investigation before being binning. No, that thing with clear insect parts, should be opened up under a microscope to see what it was. Simple people easily get overwhelmed by new stuff or a volume, rather than knuckle down and put in the effort band character. A dermatologist wasn’t interested in examing evidence, he pretty much jumped right to conclusion and said he saw many people with the same stuff and tells them they are deluded. To make it worse, he is so much like the guy who lied multiple times, cancel follow appointments the wanted to treat, and completely failed to diagnose brain damage of a major terminal brain disease (which was picked up in one session by the next person was, three years matter when it advanced a lot, but was still on the previous MRI, producing over a 10x decline in cognitive ability screwing up my life, who already had disability from grave physical health issues decline, that the two guys could be brothers. Don’t get me into.the strange nut case government dermitologists I had to see about a cancer site playing up (which stopped this year inadvertently, after treating this bug issue, so probably skin mites. My own doctor, who had a number of patients with Lyme’s etc,vwhich i didn’t know was related, did hardly anything treatment at all, though she knew to do what my new doctor is doing it turns out, but acted like she didn’t know and got me to find another doctor, who then was paranoid as they had it greseed up my nasal cavity (after the jaw joint broke loose) confused and ibgut balance coordination issues, and lost the ability to speak English temporarily. And that’s most but not all, in just 6 months. How people here go 6 years, or 18 years of this? I was trying to get well enough to run for election after decades, to give back to.the community as people ask me. Sure it’s too difficult to do more than the minimum, but I was top in my area and it was my chance to contribute back to the community with my remaining skill. While they grow rich in a high minute rate.

         This is the same we all face here. It has to change. All you guys, try writing into your president about this economical crushing negative health care, and the need for real speciality clinics producing billions of economic growth, compared to the health costs of people no longer able to work hard, or at all, because of this.

I begged my landlord for help constantly, asked home health care people, hospital social worker and None of them will do anything to help me. Heck I even hired Red Rock pest control Co, they assumed bed bugs in April $600 for spraying twice, $50 monthly, then sprayed extra two times in between monthly visits cuz I kept complaining, then another $150 to dust attic and spray entire floor and stayed in motel for two days, they’ll follow you too. Been going through it since January 2020 and after all kinds of money I’ve spent on bug crap they’re still not gone. My pest control comp said I’m allergic or having reaction from all the chemicals well yeah probably but not that kind, my child n I have had bouts of vomiting, headaches, chills,severe depression. Those things feel like they poke you with a straight pin whenever we walk around and throughout the night, we’ve not had good night’s sleep since January. Pest control guy said he looked at all the tapes with the bugs that I gave him and they’re all just specks of nothing. At one point I had found some under piece of tape I had holding window sealed and bunch of spider looking bugs and pest guy send pic to his boss and they said it looked like mites. I have tons of pigeons always around my apartment duh so I’m thinking they’re bird mites and somebody needs to inspect for next somewhere cuz I still have them for some reason well then they changed their story n said it was spiders except I know of no spiders that harass humans , they’re all idiots. I read that you have to find pest comp that specializes in bird mites cuz they’re so small they’re hard to detect. The mites now started getting stuck on us so I peeled them off n put in container now I’m going to go find a used microscope from online n find out what hey are myself then I’ll get a pest company that knows bout mites n have him inspect and diagnose the problem then think I’ll sue my pest control comp whom hasn’t kept me pest free and my apartment complex for all the pain n suffering n money I’ve spent when it was their responsibility to have taken care of. I am also disabled I’m in remission from breast cancer so limited income n they tried to get me to move out n they can’t really kick me out cuz the evictors orders r currently stopped, my landlord said I can move downstairs unit which for now really thinking I’ll do just so I can get home health care back in to help me with my daughter so then I can begin going to courthouse n making my stand. They really had me questioning myself which oh so wrong, nobody should never do that to anyone else, my child experiences the same thing n constantly saying ouch ouch stop it n can’t sleep through night either poor thing. I’m so mad at the ignorant people whom r so weak minded cuz they’re afraid to go beyond what they can’t explain. It’s a new world n with it so many new things emerging n doctor’s n such should be keeping up with the changes instead of trying to label incidents they can’t explain to we must be on drugs or crazy. Just cuz you can’t see it does it mean it’s not real? It’s real and how about God, you can’t see him, is he real? With our hope, you put your trust and faith in him, it’s your instinct telling you just as your instinct is letting you know and probably some circumstancial evidence too. You can find bird mites forums for some great stories of others in same situation so you know your Not alone and that you can’t trust the weak minded people whom are afraid to obviously gain more knowledge about things in life are evolving so should them. Find pest control company that specializes in like bird/rodent mites and talk to them, they know exactly whats up, for your so called friends well now you know they’re were never true friends anyway. So your better off without them. You only need you and God, he’ll never leave you lonely and will give you strength you need to move forward. You’re on the right track searching the web for answers n again people make up reasons for things they can’t explain like not coming out saying your crazy but might as well, instead they say things like you might have ibbs(no offense) well good luck to you my dear, may God bless you and keep you safe and healthy

472. I believe you my dog and I aare going through the same problem. I am currently sleeping in my vehicle due to the same experience. My wife thinks im crazy but i know something is there. I use a black light to see them sum are florescent orange, some that look like blue fibers that have attacked my face . Everytime i feel something crawling on me and i use my black light there is that florescent orange thing everytime. I have called the Orkin man and he looked at me like i was crazy. I know what i feel and im not crazy. I have also used repellent before i shower to remove these things from my body. I am a 49 year old male from Texas going through the same problem

     - I have a spreadsheet and a book to help. Email me at collembolachick@gmail.com. You are not crazy. But if you have a moldy home you must address it. Air purification in the home is KEY. You can manage this. Absolutely. Also cut your hair very very short.

474. Can we talk? I’m,trying to speak,with anybody and as many people as,I can. No,one will listen. I believe I’ve identified what causes Morfallond and,most likely this, as well as many other “mental disorders”, Oh did I say I believe I found the cure (or at least a great remedy too?) It all makes sense as to why its been missed previously. I’m,a nobody and,only God,knows why I’ve been,given this information. I dont know wha to do.,I need help,in the sense,as,does someone want to,review,my data and,decide if they want,to,partner with,someone whos already done 95% of,the,work, they just need to agree and help me broadcast it so we can help everyone who,is suffering and,shouldn’t be. I cant do this alone , no one will even take 30 minutes to look,it,over and hear me out. Of I’m right, this,is big

476. I have been dealing with this for 6 YEARS now. I’ve read everyone’s testimony about their experience. One of the key factors here is…IT IS NOT PSYCHOLOGICAL, it MAY be a new form of Morgellon’s, and mainly I was recently diagnosed with Lupus/Lupus like symptoms via lab tests blood work. IF YOU HAVE A WEAK OR COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEM YOUR CHANCES OF GETTING RID OF THESE BUG THINGS ATE SLIM, HOWEVER IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE. Weak immunity (the body is already attacking itself allows these things to remain on your skin and attack you. I have found many on this site also have weak immune systems, low vitamin D, rheumatoid/osteoarthritis, +ANA and related other symptoms. I have tried EVERYTHING: herbal supplements, weight loss, cutting out sugar, creams (prescribed antiparacytic oral meds) NONE worked. I now bathe 2x a day in oatmeal baths, essential oils, DRY SKIN IS A NO NO, you have to stay moisturized! Yes it”s time consuming, but. DON’T USE BUG SPRAY…THEY GET SUPER OFFENSIVE AND IT DOES NOT WORK. Use a spritzer bottle of 91% alcohol, Zevo bug spray helps. Pray, pray, pray. Stay strong. I have been in the medical field for 35 years and believe me…thus stuff has had a profound psychological effects on me, but I bounced back. Professionals are not helping. I have said it is going to take. Someone like a dermatologist or doctor to get these things GOD forbid to believe us. I do not wish anything bad on anyone however.

477. Buy a $20 UV light and boom. You’re welcome. I think I got the fiber mold from a used washer / dryer set. When I explored with the UV light, I noticed it coming from the top of my bucket in the top load LG washer. I thought it was shredding plastic, but mold grows easily in washing machines due to heat front the dryer. When mold attaches to clothes or other surfaces, it have an annoying way of sticking around where they land. Vacuuming just spreads them unless it’s HEPA bagged canister but even then, it just keeps them at bay. I haven’t been able to stop them. And it’s not imaginary.

478. Don’t give up. I FEEL YOUR PAIN. I too have been dealing with these bugs from hell for 7 years. Yes I too believe they were created because NO OTHER BUGS behave this way. I have spent thousands and prescribed meds…NOTHING WORKED. There so desperately needs attention drawn to this situation that it IS real and not in our heads. Can you imagine (my horrible experience) being in the medical field for 36 years KNOWING beyond a shadow of a doubt I AM NOT crazy, but being labeled as such receiving no help except to be handed a psych referral. So alienating. Do NOT let these things take over your life!!!! I refuse to. One day at a time. It IS time consuming but you must try things to soothe your skin: oatmeal packets in bathwater. Add some mineral oil. Mix neosporin with hydrocortisone to heal any bites or from scratching. Dry skin is a NO NO. Use a moisturizer but stay away from perfumes or lotions with perfumes. Bleach covers/sheets in hot water (I use white linen for this reason). Mop/ vacuum often. DO NOT use bug spray…DOES NOT WORK and only agitates them. They WILL retaliate. Use a dandruff shampoo/conditioner. I shower quick in mornings and bathe in evenings soaking for a minimum of 30 minutes. I use a mosquito net over my covers at night and I can get at least 6-8 hours sleep, which is important. Check your immune health. I take vitamin D for bone and immune support. If immune system (which is in your gut) is weak or compromised then these bugs can live freely on your skin. They’re not like lice, they jump on and off body so it’s hard to kill bugs that can jump AND have wings. They are super fast and is why they are hard to detect. I have never in my life wanted something SO much in life than to not have to swat, smack or wave like a mad man just to get a bliss 2 seconds of not having a biting, crawling or stinging sensation. They DO NOT bother anyone else in my home EXCEPT me. The CDC is aware of this problem and a petition to help thousands suffering to look into this. So far no real solution. Again don’t give up. God has to have help soon I hope for thousands suffering from this.

480. Thank you so much for sharing your time and doing all the research to find an answer for that nice lady. She sure isnt crazy and I can attest to everybsingle thing she shared because I have expierienced it as well. And everyone said I was crazy too. But im not and neither is she. Amen.
     But i feel empowered by what you found out and it made me feel like the problem was less scary and more fixable. Im always amazed how people take care of other people. I am grateful for the bravery she showed in actually exposing her fears and sharing her beliefs as well. But you sir are the hero today in my heart because it takes true compassion and rare concern to tackle problems such as these and its not often that people have the luster it takes to bring on the sunshine. Did I mention I love sunshine? Thanks for brightening my day. Susie Bunker

481. I have had a lot of skin issues since I was a kid, a lot of facial rashes when I was younger, Keritosis pilaris, cellulitis, and in recent years, these long blue fibers that make the spot where they are feel like a continuous bug bite. Several years ago I house sat for someone with bed bugs. I felt them immediately and jumped out of bed and into the shower immediately, then bathed the dogs and took them back to my house. Over the next few days the bites turned into welts and large painful hives. A visit to the doctor revealed that I have a severe allergy to bed bug saliva and I had to be put on steroids for a month. I tried to talk to my doctor about the blue thread thing, but didn’t push it when I saw the blank look start to was over her face.. the look that means you’re on the verge of being offered anti depressants and referred to a psychiatrist. I’ve always tended towards anemia, have adhd, and I also have RA and because of that, pretty bad circulation. My legs started swelling and I’ve had a few very small ulcers appear, but don’t have diabetes. I am certain that all of these things are connected. In fact, I recently read a Chinese journal showing that in every test subject they used with adhd for the study, 100% of them had low/low end of normal blood pressure, i.e. low circulation-> lower RBC count-> less oxygen circulated->low oxygen levels in the brain. ADHD is caused by in utero or infant damage to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
     I don’t know exactly what that means, but your advice to the lady who’s letter you included isn’t really very viable for most people, and while those things might contribute to ill health, it doesn’t make sense if it only effects some. It’s more likely that babies born to parents that were exposed to a variety of things like that in high concentrations have been born with genetic anomalies that can effect various physical systems, and the best way to confront this would be to trace an individuals symptoms until led to a common thread, then treat that, but modern medicine just treats each symptom as if it’s separate from the whole person, then only treats those with medications meant to make it less uncomfortable. Nothing gets healed. If it’s an out of the ordinary situation, good luck. Anyway, I was mostly writing to see if that woman lived somewhere chiggers are found? Or visited? Because that sounds exactly like chiggers.. I’m sorry, I don’t know anything but the common name for them. It would be odd for an entomologist bot to recognize them, but maybe he was just brushing her off.

483. My husband and I have the same problem. I thought we were imagining it like a shared psychosis situation, but once I pulled a pieces of scabby looking skin off and put it in the toilet I saw it start darting around I also saw the little red mite looking things moving around until I’m assuming they drowned. Thats when I knew we weren’t crazy. No one has an answer that we can legit try or that we have tried that has worked. I’m so embarrassed and want our lives back. Any new ideas??

485. It’s not bugs, it’s toxicity and ur body’s attempt to neutralize the toxins as uric acid is an antioxidant. When this stuff builds up in the tissue it itches and can feel like something biting. I had this issue yrs ago when in Florida and thought it was lice or something. Ppl w “morgellons” often have this but for the love of Pete don’t For the poison yourself in attempt to kill bugs like most ppl do. They end up injuring himself is worse because in no practitioner is going to tell them it’s because of toxicity and that if you’re a gas it because you’re a gas it is supposed to only be gout and it’s not just Gowdy toes are dowdy some you can have this material and crystals throughout the body as I did. I would wake in the morning and my sheets that I’ve been clean the night before now look like I’ve been to the beach with little grains of sand but it’s not saying it’s urate crystals. Vitamin c helps me and changing diet and life which is difficult for most. Juicing fruits until ur less acidic then ur palette will tolerate juicing healthy greens w ur fruits. Nutrition is key, nothing from a box, bag or can, eat as little meat as possible and ANY products u use around ur home or personal care products here’s a rule of thumb, if u wouldn’t put it in ur mouth then don’t put it on ur skin, spray it in the air or allow it to clean surfaces in ur home.

486. I think that it is so hard to suffer day after day, night after night. Myself and my 2 teen girls were evacuated and the insurance got us a room. We put our sleeping bags over the beds and the girls had their own pillows in protector we have been here for 2 weeks. I tell you I would have thought what that chic wrote is hella crazy. But We got infected with some 5 or 6 different bugs - our 2 dogs and 2 cats as well. I started off around the hotel and found that the ice machine infested with these minute white or jelly bugs they cling together. They are even seen in my iPhone. I took pics of the pool which isn’t chlorinated or anything apparently and is infested with the black , purple,white
     Bugs. The sides are lined with em. I bought a ton of natural oils and teas . Turmeric boric acid. To gentle cleanse. I tried hot wax and avocado oils lemon now I have half inch spongy white bald popping out my head. I am allergic and my body is suffering bad. I actually have managed to get pics of it all we are heading out of here tonight and stopping at er . Where they will say I’m crazy. But it’s not just me my kids too. I had a bit fly worm about half an inch pop out my head. I literally think this hotel is infested with hell fire and damnation. My poor girls, my poor animals. If you want to see the pics email me. Fn disgusting. This is why we live in the mountains.

489. Mosquitos, ticks, fleas and other common vectors, are genetically modified, which has less to the spread of illness here in America and across the world.
     Imagine a pill capsule bring filled later by later with the following organisms:. The first layer is a nanoparticle. The next layer is a virus. The next layer is a bacteria.
     This “pill” is then inserted into common vectors like mosquitos, fleas, ticks. These vectors, some of which carry febrile or malarial parasites themselves, are then released into the environment. They buzz and crawl around, biting animals and humans spreading their diseases. Super diseases actually, because the host is simultaneously infected with at least two illnesses at once and then it’s DNA is copied into the hosts cells over and over, keeping the host in a state of inflammation. Doctors aren’t taught in America, to CURE the sick and diseased and they also don’t know to check for parasitic agents to begin with. They’re taught you only catch malaria and dengue if you leave the country. And they believe, like the majority of Americans, that our food is the safest in the world, free of worms and other larva. They’re also not taught that Nano is in our bodies and our environment. Nano does this amazing thing, where it can become whatever it is attached to and hides it’s true identity. There is a test that can be used to test you for 39000 different species of infective agents, but it’s illegal to sell these kits to Americans. We’re the only nation that refuses to allow purchase of these kits, unless the doctor orders it. And you know like I know, they don’t listen and think they know it all.
     Nano is also used in bio fertilizer, biopesticides, bio fuel, bio coatings made with silicon contain nano…I mean you make it these days and it has nano. It’s even used in agrobacterium which touches our food sources whether it be plant or animal. Cotton, which makes our clothing, tampons,pads,undies… That’s probably why your private area is so irritated.. It’s in medication. Vaccines….gene targeted therapy uses nano to Target specific areas. Nano is in makeup too…toothpaste ..
     It can be inhaled, ingested and it can seep through your skin when it touches it, because its so damn small, which is why you’re not seeing what’s irritating your skin. Our atmosphere is full of it, because it is used in jet fuelds too, so
     If you’re near the ocean, it will FOR SURE get into your body, because all those things I mentioned above, get into our rivers which empties into our oceans.
     I know it sounds crazy, but stick to looking up research studies about nano and how it’s used.
     I have a number of studies done by NIH and Walter Reed Army Institute , where they not only genetically modified mosquitoes, but they intentionally infected “malaria naive adult humans” at their lab with malaria, prior to allowing these mosquitoes to bite those people, in efforts to cause intentional malaria so they could get a vaccine. They even allowed these patients outside to do their normal daily activities and only monitored them at night, IN A HOTEL instead of a lab. Malaria is very contagious, because every time you’re bitten while carrying malaria, that mosquito then blood feeds on another person likely infecting them. You also spread that parasite everywhere you go… It’s transmitted through sexual intercourse, saliva, sweat, urine AND fecal matter. They publicized this stuff in 2018 and multiple other places across the country did the very same experiment.
     Of course people have reactions to electricity….. You need electricitymangnetics to power nano…

     - My invisible bug turned into tiny bugs. They are skin colored so you can’t see them. When they die they are black. If you make a period with a pen they are one tenth the size of it. Two ways you can detect them. Over a white sink bend your head forward and comb your hair rapidly from back to front. In the sink look for tiny black dots. That’s them. Another way is to use a washcloth and soap and swipe it over all parts of your body when you shower. When you inspect the cloth you will see tiny black dots.Good hunting!

       - I have had the same symptoms for 8 years now. If you’re not suffering from it…wwll it’s easy to say oh it’s Morgellons or mold spores it your imagination. WELL IT IS NOT. I have worked in the medical field for 35 years, am not delusional it crazy. I KNOW what I am seeing. Tiny black dots, tiny clear skin colored bugs. At first the symptoms I thought were lice. But no…I wish the CDC would investigate into what this is! They ARE aware of it. The only thing that gives comfort is oatmeal baths with essential oils. Bug spray DOES NOT help. It only pisses them off. I have Lupus so my immune system sucks, and is allowing these bugs to stay in because it’s already confused attacking healthy cells. You gotta take 30 minute showers and really wash good. I use hot soapy water, essential oils a loupha sponge, dandruff shampoo to relieve itching. I mix neosporin with essential oils to heal the skin of any bites. Never…EVER have dry skin. You will be even more miserable. They don’t like tea tree oil. I use a lot of it. Anyone want to talk about it? It helps. Your are not alone. This mess is depressing and has completely altered my life. But I will never give up searching for a cure.

491. I have an unfortunate twist, and advice, Cps took my kids, and are trying to 51/50 me . I am living the nightmare. The 14 and 16 yr old at least know it’s real, and I say it is real to me. I had some trapped in a plastic wide mouth jug. The evil bitters. Had no lid so I put a whole box of porcelain tiles on it. My best friend didn’t believe me. I said it scares me to walk by it d then we tried to get it out. She was suppose to push on tiles while I moved it. She screamed and ran as the whole box of tiles lifted up and popped a big one out. I was pissed I said fuck now it’s gonna get me they had been in their for over a month and were pissed. I had my kid drive me to dump it and as it was on my lap I could hardly keep the tiles down just sheer force. When I tried to toss the whole thing it literally would not let go of the tile. I just let it fly the whole thing and we heard it growling the whole time. I still have the one big evil , mad as hell one in my house. It’s real. I am not crazy. They found a new fish with cytoplasm and recently a knitted hat went viral for changing color with different light. But when I say I have pics of my body covered in cytoplasmic slime , have fibers that start with a kernel and vine out and have seed pods that “pop” out of various parts of my body, have mimicking aliens and parasitic beings that move faster than light, and when they make a odd clicking sound I loose hours, I am crazy. I am living the dream, wish I wasn’t. Advice- don’t speak it, don’t see it, just leave all reason and explanation to quiet resolve. This is going to put itself the more they mix with our dna the more they learn. Get some vodka. Clean your face and keep your airways and sense orophice’s clean and open. If it growls. Tell it to bring it the fuck on! I am the master race ! You need me, and are unwanted, iuninvited. Know their is nothing you can do. You may think you found something, but, you haven’t, they are mutating. They take the open cells and turn them to their side. You have no options. I have found pain cream with lidocaine. Over the counter. Knocks em for a few minutes paper off with soft paper products. Put them in a sealed plastic bottle - jug. If you can. They expand and it can take a lot of energy. Leave it in a corner for a week. Then you will see. It will be heavy, it will have patterns, you cannot burn them, they mutate. You cannot run you cannot hide. I have a magnetic pole. And I have started having constant noise in my head. The shortness of breathe is them on your face the cytos. I am not crazy. Do. Your. Research. It’s all on YouTube Microbiology.
