My mom has been experiencing a sensation of bugs crawling and jumping on her skin. She thinks it's fleas. We tried bombing and got the house fumigated 3 times. We moved, but the pest still linger. She can't see them, but there are tiny black specs everywhere when she vacuums. The bites look like mosquito bites and they don't seem to be red. Is there any advice you could give her?
We've been dealing with these things for a year now. Here's some background info. We think we got it from a friend's neighbor who has a lot of cats and had to be hoarding fleas for at least 20 years. My mom thinks it is a new kind of flea that's immune to everything. If anyone could please help or see if they found a solution to this problem so my mom doesn't have to suffer anymore. We also tried Windexing everything that didn't help. We even got rid of all the furniture and now have to sleep on inflatable beds, but they still stick. Also apparently they will find shelter in anything including electronics such as TVs and even phones. We also tried boric acid, but that has no effect either. So anything that's helped someone?

Please take your mom to her doctor now and explain the problem in the detail you have provided here. You must accompany your mother in the doctor's office visit to fully describe all that has been happening. A very good idea is to copy your description of the problem here to Thrifty Fun and give it to the doctor in your visit.
Your mom may have a medical problem that the doctor can provide effective treatment to help.
I agree. And if she needs to sleep on an inflatable mattress that is fine but...and please take this with the utmost respect and compassion...you need to be comfortable. This is most likely not a real infestation.
I just had to advise a young woman who thought that gnats were following her that she might have a chemical imbalance that is causing her to see what no one else can see.
There is no new strain of fleas. I am so sorry you are going through this. But DCA is right. I hope she gets better and you all can get some rest.
PS: I just checked with www.web.md and there isn't even a catagory for this.
Thank you guys for your comments I try telling her she should see a doctor of some sort but she continues to tell me no because she honestly thinks she's feeling bugs or something. Could it be an allergic reaction I looked up morgellons disease but I'm not sure
Another thing if its important she says she only feels the bugs certain places and on certain things like clothing and things of that nature. Not sure if that helps
Your mother may indeed believe she "feels" the bugs, however, she must see her doctor immediately. Her doctor can examine the places on her body where she thinks the bugs have been biting. She/he can then provide medication to treat the bite areas and prevent the bites from becoming infected.
Please take your mother to her doctor immediately for help to resolve her problem. She will feel much better finding an answer to the bug irritation and receiving the best medical treatment.
I got sich with Hep C. Knats and no see em's would bite me. How do I know? Find them stuck to stick pad attached to lights and in the bug zappers. Bought these from Amazon
She doesn't "believe" she feels them. She does. You sound like the dermatologist I asked about this. It was NOT a figment of my imagination. Just because you cannot see the bugs with the naked eye doesn't mean they don't exist. They're just too small to see. They're not fleas. If they were, I would have killed them all in my house. (I bombed twice).
It could be an allergy. I discovered that mold was a major player in my condition. I also had black specs everywhere and during the Albendazol protocol that i did for two weeks, you can google it for more information, I found furry black stuff in my bed after an uncomfortable night and felt much better. See my earlier post and feel free to respond directly.
Trust me, she "feels" the bugs. I am now experiencing this problem, and we are trying to figure it out. It is ONLY in my home office, which is the side of the house that the cat spends most of her time (she also wanders outside a lot). We have had the cat for 12 years, but never had this problem until now. The tiny bugs bite me around my neck and ears - sometimes on my arms. They also bite my ankles if I work barefoot and in shorts. We have researched this a number of times and have tried vacuuming, wiping all surfaces with window cleaner, etc. I am about ready to move out of my office. This is not something I am "feeling." I am going to continue reading the 1,000 replies if I can find them.
Speaking of dermatologists... I have had dry skin all my life. After scratching myself raw one winter, I went in desperation to a dermatologist, who gave me expensive creams and bath oils to use. I found out that using a good quality skin lotion every other day after a shower kept the problem at bay.
Me and my husband having simular problem phantom bites only at bite .they leave welts. Itch after about 15 min the welts go away. Until next round pest control came out inspected dont know what it is .we cant see anything. Except welts after stung. Some one please help
If you look close they are little black bugs some so tiny they are like the size of a grain of salt..take a pet roller or some clear packing tape and put in on the furniture and u will pick them up..even the floorrs. They are very hard shelled so hard to kill.We have tried everything even de..I'm only one getting bit I was told that how these only bites certain people.especially females but not all..looking through a magnifying glass you can see they have wings.you don't see them fly much. I'm going to show them to an exterminator.
Sounds like mold spores. Professional Mold Remediation Companies Typically use solutions consisting mainly of Thyme Essential Oil to treat the air & the mold itself, which often hides in air ducts, refrigerator coils, pretty much any electronics, etc. They will hide on everything you own.
Former victims boast using "Thieves Oil" to kill them in your home & inside your body, which is a combination of specific antiviral & antifungal (mold =fungus) essential oils;
(A recipe to make your own is in the attached image), along with throwing away everything you own that has a porous surface or electronic with an internal fan (Will otherwise continue to reinfest your home)
So many people suffer from "unseen bugs" for years/ even decades, with people telling them it's not real..which causes more suffering.. the reaction can be to Japanese ladybug secretions, allergy to verigated carpet beetle larvae,Demodex mites, pepper mites, bird mites from unknown nests, or carried in by mice, or little known species in outdoor stagnant water...and on and on..these people need help not denial from others.Psychological conditions of this sort are very rare, as far as i know..
First of all this is an epidemic of proportions worldwide!!!! A doctor is a waste of time. They don't wanna help people because they haven't studied Biting mites or body lice. They will say you are delusional, it's in your head, your mind caused the bites, oh that's you scratching and causing this! Doctors get few pages to in med school for info on parasites!!!! You picked them up or someone had them, or a house, car, clothes were infested! These are worse than Bedbugs. Please take this advise seriously and be careful who u talk to; families of kids taken because everyone wants to put the parent in a padded room is going on. People dont understsnd and dont get it because they arent suffering like you! Some people will get bites others will not! U can be in someone's house and feel them crawling up your shoe/ leg. If it's a heavy infested area they will bite you whenever, as it is under control or eliminated, you will tell the difference! The mite chooses it's host! They are still there regardless of who is bit!!!Also, the black and white or coarse crap is untested. In the support community we believe that is from the species of leaving behind a fungal growth or bacteria on the skin. That's likely a form of waste or could me molting left behind. Either way it's another problem that u got to get rid of, but it also lets u know they are still around when the crawling and itching or bites still appear. If doctors really did the skin scraps, they would found find out what this hell is all about! Please see these support sites of: topix scabies, curezone, earth clinic, Ted's cures, Facebook skin mites and morgellons protocol. Really Google has all the sites and recent studies regarding chemical and drug success from human, pet and bird experiments or studies . It's too much information to say what you need to do, but you must be open minded and know that an imbalance in your body fuels it. Eat clean and cut that sugar out, daries,and detox the gut and liver if u are taking any meds or ivermectin type meds. Some are going the natural route some are carefully taking pet meds. U must detox and build up your immune system, get some probiotics and cut GMO! I would not do flu shots which weaken your immune response and can create autoimmune issues. I can tell you to clean the car, house and soak the clothes with borax, or RidX, dawn, soap powder, windex w/ammonia, permethrin/ortho Malathion mix, fungicide 3(neem based), bifenthrin. U csn get witch hazel or alcohol peroxide with cloves/peppermit or menthol and spray everything even yourself! Ive used in rotation of every two to five days, after third used of each you will have to switch out. Try fogging cedarcide which will make them angry to come out, kleen green(enzyme). Please research ! Consider steaming everything at some point ! Find some on who can steam at a high temperature! They will jump on you, some will bite you open to burrow to lay eggs like scabies. I've had this really depends on the doctor if they really help or quit. I had to go across country just to get a diagnoses and my stupid Midwest doctors turn a blind eye too after the treatments kill them all. You will learn a doctor is fair if they can diagnose and help some. I got two pills, then I had to ask for a month's worth and that's how I knew I was on the right track because the internal population was coming down. If u are dealing with this get a Lyme test. Try for an LLMD which should understand fully. Try the Lyme forums and Facebook groups and Mold as well. Get done rest and start tackling what you with a plan . It can take up to 3 or 4 mos. to see some control or final results. Be patient, go swimming, sweat a lot, sauna, saltwater soaks!!!! I'm still working on it so you have to make this a way of life till you find your solutions. I think a strong two month plan that are different and rotated can get this gone. Like ivermectin/ skin applications and baths, then maybe turpentine/ castor oil or sugar cube and make a natural anti parasite or fungal lotion to put on. Drink turemic, dandelion root tea, etc.... I hope this helps.
Doctors are not educated in skin parasites or mites.
Bird and rat mites are almost invisible.
When u go to a doctor they won't take the time to do a skin scraping and look under a scope. Also even if they do these mites are so tiny they r often damaged so they are not recognizable.
Bird mites can get in your house from birds nesting under the eves of your home or in the attic. Or even a tree who branches r touching your home. When the baby birds leave the nest there are 10s of THOUSANDS OF TINY MITES left behind. Those mites will travel great lengths looking for a blood meal. YOU!! It was thot until 2009 that bird mites did not consume human blood nor could live they on or reproduce on humans while consuming human blood. This has been proven false.
These people that say they have bugs on them r not crazy.
These mites also carry a fungus called sporo schenkii. This fungus also causes skin problems and can make a person deathly ill. In some case history actually kill.
Pesticides do not kill these mites.
Don't waste yr money on cedarcides. They don't work either. This is becoming a serious epidemic with no where for people to turn.
Keep reading.
If u find a dr that is willing to work with u and not put u on antipsychotic medication ur lucky. Also read about morgellons.
Check YouTube
The unknown cat morgellons.
Make sure you use the word THE. There is another AHOLE trouble maker that goes by
Unknown cat.
Instead of THE unknown cat.
Good luck.
Yes, there's something going on. I have them too and that are biting me. I even know the moment I got them. I have no sign of any bites but I can feel it. Your mom is not crazy. I believe this bug or mite is something new that ppl don't know anything about. The bugs don't bite everyone because my two daughters don't feel anything but me and my son at getting eaten alive.
I dont like that people insist a person is imbalanced or its bed bugs. From experience sanitize everything! Even the carpeting. Fix the moisture comming in the house. & vacuum. U should be good. My issue was parasites that can stay for years
Your mom is not imaging this The invisible bug flying, bug biting farmants are REAL
Try looking up lint bugs!
a condition called restless leg syndrom gives you the sensation that something is crawling on you and biting you check with your doctor
She they are right she is not faking l, I was part of the drug users community for a long time and there was more than several occasions my friends would get mad at me of someone else and they would torture them with these invisible bugs there are certain liquids that attracts them that they can poor in your house, you can just rub some on the surface of something and anything with cloth on it they will infest. People do it to other people out of spite to try to make them go crazy or at least make everyone else think they are crazy. If you stay exposed to them without any break for too long they can make you very sick even fatal in some cases so be careful. Im now going to inform you how to kill them! So best way is to freeze them to death keep your House at under 55 degrees for awhile and they die! You can also stay them with ferbreeze or windex that does the trick usually. Drink Mountain Dew that repels them for some reason and eat lots of sugar that helps as well. Stay away from dairy products that makes it worse. I honestly am not 100% sure on wtf they are Ive done research and Im leaning towards symptoms from mold but not sure. If anyone has a similar story to mine and happens to know more than me please tell me what you know.
Your mother don't not have a medical problem because my mother and father move into s house that had been sit for years they redid house and move in something was bite them they try everything but nothing work
I had a similar problem. Seems it was heavy metal toxicity. I changed deodorants. When I stopped using it and detoxed I slowly returned to normal. It got worse before it got better. The sauna helped a lot too.
You have to find the metal source. Check shampoo, soap, deodorant, sun block, cooking items, dental work.
This person is talking bull and is obviously not being affected!
Thank God that I have an understanding son, that also sees the things that are all over that don't seem to move, but stick to your skin, and seem to melt into it! Yes, it even sounds irrational to me but it is real!
My son has pulled these out of me with tweezers! You may want to Look at mold on your skin!
Mold. Find the mold
Sounds like you have no see ums, also called bitting midgets. Very hard to see but wicked! I have them and they are driving me crazy! Look this up and see if you have any of the symptoms it list. I bet thats what you have because you can not get rid of them and nether can an exterminator. The things will not die. They get into everything after you have had them for awhile. Check it out and good luck to you!
That was the crappiest and most condescending answer I've ever heard. Look up lint bugs and Morgellans disease
Your wrong BC the same thing is happening to our household. They are something that dig and burrow in skin. They love me but don't like my roommate. They burrow in ur skin and lay eggs. When the eggs hatch the " worms" or large travel all over ur body and everything u touch. That is the sensation she is feeling. The large then turn into little white mites that attach to ur clothing and cocoon themselves in ur clothing then the change color to black. They stay cacooned until it is an adult then the break out of the cocoon and process starts all over again. Put aloe Vera gel all over your mother wait 15 min and you will watch them crawl out over her body. Then wipe her entire body with paper towel with rubbing alcohol on it. You will see black worms all over the towels. Change towels almost for every swipe. Do this 3 times a day for at least a week. Get tea tree oil mix it in her lotion. Also make spray bottles of the oil mixed with rubbing alcohol and dawn antibacterial dish soap. Spray everything everywhere all the time. Even in her hair they love cocooning in carpets or hair or clothes. Put the oil in everything shampoo conditioner body wash lotion. Put some of alcohol mixture in a downer fabric softener ball in the laundry. Spray clothes when you hang them up in closet. Put them in dryer b4 u wear them again. Spray bedding at least 5 tomes a day and try to wash daily. T
We have battled for 3 weeks and I went to a friends and out of the corner of my eye I saw something zoom past me. I started looking and saw what looked like the pepper flakes all over. I left went home alone everything and put clothes in plastic bad with mixture. We got infested again BC I think my purse. OMG it's a nightmare. The diatomaceous earth all over your house really kills them even though u can't see it working. Good luck on I forgot bleach bleach bleach. Kills eggs large and adults. But she won't get rid of them until everyone in ur household treats themselves.
Dr's will just label her as delusional and crazy. She is not crazy. This is something that affects mostly females. My family and I have been going through this for over a year now. What we have found is
1. Bed bug protectors for all mattess and frames.
2. Wash everything in ammonia. It must sit for a little while and soak. Anything made of cotton is the new gmo cotton that has bacillus thuringiensis which is a soil bacteria. Bleach will not kill it, nor anything else. We went through trying everything else such as bleach and it did not help. This bacteria gets on your skin and leaves little bacteria threads.
3. Mop floors with ammonia added in.
4. Wash all pets. I really do not know if you can get it off of the pets. We are still trying and it is why our house still has these invisible bugs.
First of all there certainly are fleas that are now resistant to pesticides most commonly used! Just as there is antibiotic resistant staph infection called MRSA! You may have heard of it!! Secondly yes there are also biting,crawling bugs one cannot see with the human eye! Some fleas & mites you CANNOT see but most definetly feel! Thirdly you should be ashamed of yourself for saying that his mother has a mental problem when you don't even know what you're talkimg about! People & doctors like you are THE PROBLEM!! I went through this "you must be crazy BS" with toxic mold!! It is a horrible awful thing to do to a person whom is truly suffering just cuz you are not in that home,can't understand it & don't see it!!! His mother is most definetly NOT mentally ill like you state and is suffering greatly and even more with people and doctors like you!! And no he should not immediatly take his mother to the doctor with what your idea was only so she can then be commited against her will cuz of ignorance & you not sharing the same home with that person!! You tried to set this lady up for involuntary committal and you should be ashamed of yourself to put it nicely!!!!
Yes what she is feeling is bugs you can't see I'm going through the same things I don't know what do or g
How to get rid of them so help please anyone help just
Find the mold problem. The biting will stop.
Christine....I have also been going through hell with something sit going and biting with itching for four years. I threw many, many things away. Pillows, mattress, clothes and got rid of new sofa and love seat.
It didnt start till I sold my house and moved to a senior community.
I did have two cats that I had to give up with sorrow.
Found out that the community placed the carpeting over huge gaps in the cement. And after many bugs and exterminators still did not help.
I KNOW something is biting me because I FEEL AND SEE THEM. They fall off everything and are tiny, tiny black dots that look like dirt.
Doctor's will tell you that you are delusional, so be prepared. There are millions of people going through this and it is torture.
I cannot afford to throw anything away or move now because it destroyed my life in everyway. When I move or IF I can, nothi g but the clothes on my back are going with me be a use they get into EVERYTHING.
91 % alcohol helps me get a few hours sleep, but i am miserable and lonely.
Good luck to you and God Bless.
IT ain't no mold it's some type of mite or fleas. Why because no one else is experience it . ya'll think its in your mind or something like skin prob, or mold. Stop it, they know what happens , they are asking how to stop it. Know one is asking ya'll for personal body diagnosis. If they wanted physical diagnosis they will go to a doctor. They are asking how to stop the bugs and get rid of them.
there is no mold out side. so no that's not the problem.
Look into bird mites. A lot of these unknown cases seem to be traced back to them.
Good luck, I know a lot of people are struggling with issues similar to your family. Do let us know if you find any good treatment options.
She doesn't need a Doc. Me and my dad are experiencing the same thing. It is some type of mite or fleas. She knows what she feel and its not in her mind. Just because you don't experience it doesn't mean it don't exist . Stop giving bad advice just because you don't experience it.
Hi There.. I have been Fighting BIRD MITES or RAT Mites(same family of mites) for over a year and a half.. I have spent more than$1000.00 dollars on sprays, bombs, special insecticides, etc. I got my house (I think) Rid of them, but My ranger truck STILL has them in it.. I have ripped the head-liner out, I think I have set off more than 20 Bombs, used Different Bug Bombs, I have still got them, They seem to have changed I use to see them, not I can't even see them, but I can feel them after going somewhere, and coming home.. I wouldn't wish this on My worst enemy.. I wish I knew a Bug guy that could Identify these Damn things, and tell me what to use to get rid of them...Terrible thing to deal with.. I would say look for Bird Nests around your house, and GET RID of them if you are getting bit and can not find out what is biting you...
HOW can you think that she is having a Psychological illness when it is confirmed that there is in fact a small mite that is microscopic and can infest not only a household but also the body and can be Transferred through dead Birds or foxes or any wild life animals and transferred by humans by hugging...The Mite can live in clothes and can survive almost ANYTHING it can produce up to 200 eggs daily ..it goes underneath your skin and lays eggs..thats the reason for the scratching sensation...the only way to get rid of it is to use PHOSTOXIN® TABLETS AND PELLETS. magnesium phosphide There is only ONE company in the World who are still producing this chemical since it is the same used under ww2 and was then called zyklon B . Then a Derma treatment is necessary too which includes medication !! So please stop your infamous idea that it is all psychological !!!!
STOP THAT NONSENSE !!! The Woman is suffering from Microscopic Mites, Anthropoids !!!
I have been having the same problem. I searched everywhere, and didn't find anything, yet I would try and fall asleep and bumps all over my chin, creases in my arm, and I would scratch and little welts everywhere. I didn't imagine this. I believe they must be mites. Even a Chemical Imbalance doesn't make welts come after scratching.
Please please stop telling people that this is in their mind. I know from personal experience THEY are real and Nothing like extreme heat or freezing will kill them. We are going through enough without people saying they are not real.
Youre right about no new species of fleas, but do you know anything about morgellons disease? The more research that has been done the more they are saying people with this disease arent mentally impaired in any way, but having a reaction to something and the results come out as stinging and biting sensations with only traces of fibers, small crystal like particles and hard small black dots coming out of skin. No bugs in site anywhere, but real symptoms intense enough to make anyone lose their mind
Your response may be more than seven years old but shame on you for insinuating that this person's mom has psychological issues. I'm suffering exactly the same thing right now and it's been going on for almost three months. I have hundreds of bites that start tiny and grow to welts, then get worse with itching. One doctor asked me if I've seen my therapist lately, another asked me if I've used meth lately. The bites are very REAL and VERY PAINFUL, yet no one can kill the little invisible devils. It's incredibly offensive to tell a doctor or exterminator exactly whats going on and they look at you or ask you if you'e a little crazy.
yes.... Buy some cedar oil , mix 10 drops with 500mls warm water and a touch of dishwashing liq in a spray bottle. Before you sit anywhere , spray first. Also epsom salts mixed with warm water in a spray bottle can be effective ( but will leave a light mark). Both of these are not going to affect your health as other carcenogens will. You can put the epsom spray on your dogs .Add a few drops of tea tree oil to washing clothes etc. This has helped us enormously.
There is a very small bug that bites called "SEE ME NOTS" Read info on them. They lived outside at my Mom's and always bit us when we sat outside..
FUMIGATE YOUR HOUSE WITH RUBBING ALCOHOL ROUND THE BORDERS OF THE ROOMS N THE LIVING ROOM THEY DON'T LIKE IT U WILL SEE A CHANGE IT WORKS!!!
I seem to have same problem,i worked in some ones house,and caught them,i have not seen what they are,i use hydrocortozone cream from the dollar store for scratching,i found by washing my bedding and clothes,i have got rid of most of the biting,i dry them on high heat in dryer,mine seem to be able to bite through jeans,they seem to be on everthing I sat on so I sprayed a small bit of fly killer on the seats you could use boric acid its pretty safe to use,i have not gone crazy until I find out what they are,but washing bedding and clothing has worked well,if it spreads I will spray the carpets and bomb the bad areas,i don't think they are bedbugs or fleas
Salt. Sprinkle salt everywhere and after a while it will dehydrate those little biter's. Also re call. And seal all floors to grout cracks and openings all over inside and out. salt salt and salt somemore. Try to mop after vacuum with bleach then let it dry and then w sudsy ammonia. Leaving only a small wetish film on everything. Be very very cautious and vigilant about the possibility of poisoning your self w this method. It will make you reconsider and respect the privacy of your own home. Done properly it works but it won't last for ever and it is in the attic, basement,walls,fillters, cracks, ceiling. Seal all the floorboards, walls, appliances, with great stuff& silicone caulk.
Good luck. Wash&dry HOT always
I bought a hand vacuum and vacuum the bed, chairs, couch with it every day. It does help. Vacuum before going to bed also. Doctor told me it's not bugs but stress causing the biting feeling. What do they know? Lol. Wish I could get rid of them. I did have bed bugs but got rid of them I think. Cotton sheets and clothes seam to be worse than other fibers.
My mom has has tried this method so I don't know if it will work for you guys but she said it help the bugs die down at her office and at home. We started vacuuming more like twice a day and also alcohol helps as well. My mom thinks there mold spores which can cause some of these symptoms. You could have this if you have someone with asthma or allergies who's coughing wheezing or allergies get worse when your they're in that environment. It could effect others differently. I could be wrong though buts if it helps anyone that's something info also if you try this method buy very strong rubbing alcohol. It will cost more but apparently works better
She might be sensitive to soap. Most soaps have sulphates as a key component in their manufacture. Sulfates are a well known skin irritant (en.wikipedia.org/
The caveat is that some sulphate-free soaps can be worst that normal soaps (www.nytimes.com/
I have found that Caress works pretty good for sensitive skin.
It's fleas, it's not your imagination. There are fleas that are too small to be seen, (not invisible, but just small) May people have this problem but you need to make sure that any animals are flea treated, preferably with the pill that kills fleas and ticks, THEN you can treat the house, your carpet may have to be professionally treated, OR use DT (diatomaceous earth) it's messy and drying to the skin, but the fleas will die.
Someone please help. Mom has the same thing, we can't see anything, no bugs no bites no evidence. I've taken her to 3 doctors and dermatologists. They all say she has Delusory Parasitosis but she won't believe them. Even taken her "samples" to the college lab, they also say no bugs. We've tried EVERYTHING salt, Dia-Earth, alcohol, Listerine, anti-bac, heppa filters in vacuum, bug free covers, even the concoction of bug detox internally NOTHING is working.
I am having the same issue, Hensel why I am awake at 1am. The bites are so bad it's keeping me up. I think it is either fleas or mites. Mites hide underneath your skin so you wouldn't be able to see them. There is a neighbor stray cat and thinking this came from her. I just wish I knew which one it actually is so I can rid the issue and get some sleep.
I went through the same thing beginning in 2012. I nearly lost my mind. I put everytbing in plastic bags and did everything that youve described and more.
I used albendazol from the vet supply to eliminate internal parasites(Google albendazol protocol) and prayed for help, which is where I got my first real relief.
Still never been diagnosed with anything except spirochets that looked like rocky Mountain spotted fever, but specialist said most likely Lyme disease.
Another area of research is Morrell onside, which has many of the same symptoms. Nutrition Silver sells a high ppm colloidal silver that I've used to maintain my computer dictionary now for several years successfully.
I think it is worth a try to have her live with another family member for a while - with clean clothes dried in a hot dryer. Just to see if she can escape the little buggers. It would TOTALLY disprove the doctors. I'm sure the bugs are real. Interestingly, the little mites in my house are ONLY in my study. The cat (who may have the tiny mites also) and me are also roaming the entire house. Go figure!
Check Around your House for Abandoned Bird Nests, gutters, window sills, Eves of the house, In trees close to house, anywhere a bird might have had a nest, If you find one, Use Latex gloves, and H.D. garbage bags, and don't shake it to much, it will be full of mites from birds that have abandoned the nest.. Also check your Attic, and also for Rats or mice...
I used to have the same problem, every night as soon as I got into bed. We checked and inspected it all as there were no bed bugs of and bugs for the matter. At least we couldn't see it. My cleaning lady knew I was in despair and sleepless nights. She's a philipino lady and she brought me an oil called Tamaru which is a Polynesian fruit and oil is fermented from that fruit. After my daily shower I started using it throughout the body and it's an amazing oil for your skin. I was amazed that I slept better and no bites. Thank goodness. It is annoying after a while to put this oil and became such a chore for me. If you want, you can buy it on Amazon.
However, I was reading somewhere and if you have a humidifier or air purifier etc, take a look and see if there's any mold in it. That's another problem. Make sure these equipments are clean at all times. I don't even use the Tamaru oil anymore. Clean humidifier made a great difference.,
Wow. This problem started after I installed a used window air conditioner and also brought in a humidifier. I will remove both.
I had the same problem....I found out why,,its biting midges aka no see ums,,, they are so small you cant really see them,, and they love to get in your hair or under your underwear. get one of them tennis racket shaped electronic fly zappers and you will start to hear it go off, wave it over the bed slowly or over that chair you felt the biting in, i like to lock it on with tape and put it over my legs as the midges go for my ankles bamm,,, best to get them under control because they carry another one celled parasite that can cause a skin infection and scars
when you moved you took them too, check out tim-bor
Put white vinegar in your bath, then rub it on the bites. Do this until the bits go away. It works really well had same problem and that cured it
To get rid of you problem you must start over. First get rid of everything. Furniture, bedding, and all clothing. Then start over by first going swimming, stay in the water at least 2 hours minumun wearing new clothes. Wash the new clothes in baking soda or if you live where its cold hang all clothes out in the cold for at least 2 day. Use sulfur 8 hair grease for your scalp for at two months every night, that is, if you feel something crawling or biting you in your head.
I'm so glad I looked this site up I knew I wasn't going crazy. I haven't read anything about there eggs.
Do you also see these black spots? Gather some up to take to the doctor. It could be very dry skin causing the "feeling". Or mites, bedbugs or scabies.
Demodex mite. Classic symptoms.
Add Borax to your bath water daily. Sudes up with a tea tree oil body wash. Use Borax in your laundry. But you MUST get Rx mitronidazole gel!
Hi, even I'm feeling the same thing which you explained. Can you please let me know how can I get rid of these things? Thanks in advance.
My husband and I also have this. I believe we are at different stages though. All over my house and our cars are dusty. We went through a phase that seemed much more active and a phase of candida type yeast covering everything. I couldn't get the streaks off of my appliances. Every time I wipe my counters there are black dots. There's also hairs of different lengths all over everything. The longer curly ones are more rare and you won't see them unless they are wet. I've lost all of my hair. It's finally growing back now. We both lost 30+ lbs within weeks. Started with open sores on my wrists and thought it was scabies, lice, midges, pinworms, flukes, etc. I know it's mold, and look up mold mites also. I suddenly have hypothyroid, neuropathy, psoriasis, psoritic arthritis, and low BP along with low red blood cell count. I've never had any health issues before this started 8 months ago. My husband has also developed hypothyroid, ruptured gallbladder, duodenum ulcer that is chronic, elevated white blood cell count, and anemia. But we're suffering from psychosis. I guess they will never figure it out because they make millions off of the drugs and hospital bills. Think about it. I take baths in Epsom salt, coconut oil, and hydrogen peroxide. I use T/Tar shampoo, charcoal soap, and selson blue. I wash my body and hair separately. All of my dirty clothes are in storage bins. I wash my sheets at least 2 times a week and vacuum 2 times a week. Clean my floors with clorox, Lysol and water and put boiling water in my tub between baths. Sludge and black dots come off in the bath. ACV helps too.
To the people trying to say your mother is crazy...? They say ignorance is bliss.. oh wait i can't find that in a category on web md...lol smh. It sounds like mites. There are many many different kinds of animal mites that will choose to make humans an item on the menu. Even if you never knew a bird or mouse had made a quick visit. There are treatment options available... ask her doctor. (not a shrink)
2 words peppermint oil and water solution / spray. You can make this yourself it kills the buggers effectively and it is relentless.
Google morgellons disease ... failing that we get hit with mites every spring just before summer after the immense rains and everything comes alive . Just my daughter and I get bit - everyone else is fine . Food grade DE (diamataceous earth ) is usually the only thing that works - I spray it with a pest pistol all over the house in furniture etc then I put the powder on my hands legs body and even scalp if needed . (On days Im not leaving the house ) takes about 3 days and then poof all gone .
