Are you sure they are springtails? I ask because usually these pesky things stay to themselves and eat decayed leaves, cardboard and such. I have not seen them get too close to people...but again, this is only my experience. Others may have other experiences.

Springtails and body lice look a lot alike to me so if they are small and clear-ish in color, they may be body lice.

In this case, talk to your pharmacist or doctor and get one of the over the counter treatments. You will need to wash all fabrics in your home with hot water (or steam clean furniture) so you don't keep getting reinfected.

They sure are. After years I see them. The long thin jumper and the black big booty ones look like ticks. They say its moregellons but there are definitely bugs.

If this is the case the bugs could be body lice and not springtails. You will need to clean your house, furniture and bedding and treat them like body lice.

You can get some special shampoo for your hair and I would go to the drug store and buy some products to help you with this problem.

Peppermint oil! It's the best. My Dr diagnosed me as delusional...see bugs that aren't there. Believe me they were are there. Symptoms of morgellons were also present. I'm still battling them. But peppermint oil will become your best friend. Full strength at first on your hair and body. Diluted but still strong, spray on everything including your car. Mop your walls, doors and floors. Spray on your clothes, bedding, rugs, counters, everything. It's done wonders for my skin, my hair and increased circulation in my lower legs and feet. My miracle. Hope it's someone else's miracle too.

Use an insecticide and get rid of excess moisture in your home.
