Only very recently I have bites on my ankles almost like mossie bites and they leave a tiny pink spots (like mossie bite after they stop itching). Today I caught them on me, it's black very tiny. You can barely see them. There are ones a bit bigger, like black pepper sprinkles, and there's a few of them I captured.

I am posting a number of link to help define what bug you are dealing with. Remember that if it has six legs it is an insect and if it has eight legs it is in the spider or mite family.
Here are some articles to read on this subject for your consideration and research:

It's not bed bugs people. It's smart dust. Just look it up. I'm battling it myself. You must act quickly Though. It only gets worse.
They may be berry bugs, I don't know but they kind of look like pepper sprinkles and they may be what you're seeing.
I'm having the same problem,little black specks .it's to small to identify it it has legs,I've been going crazy for 18months
Hi my name is Rose, in 2008 I had to get disability, my expayee was my own sister, said had stated I could live with her on her little peace of land Oh ,my God!What a BIG mistake I had just been abandoned by by my husband, but let's make this short and to the point this was my last chance to live life for me! I picked a beautiful camper, I was at my mom's when my expayee arrived and told me to get my stuff the camper was ready when I got there she had went behind my back and had a 17yr old camper and mattress! I told her I didn't want this wet ,leading not fit for anything that had a heart beat ! The next day I I had no home I thought I got in my van to get out of there! They all was always watching?I had no brakes! So I was stuck there, my ferret "Zeke "died from a respiratory infection! And they made sure my transportation was always broke was always broke down! I had so many leaks inside that thing and I tried to get the roof repaired that's when the black dot's started showing up (who knows how long this thing had sat building up bacteria and fungi?
What Is Smart Dust I have the Black Bugs But also have these white bitting Bugs I believe they are mites they look like shards of tiny glass and go under your skin .....
We just got these horrible things I know what your talking about you poor thing They are horrible...I hope you can get relief I believe you!!!And what pray tell are Springtails!!!
Rose can't you get an apartment have you tried a cream for your skin I will write you again and let you know the name of it but it's for your skin and it's a cream and you can use the one for horses cause it's cheaper Hope this finds you well Kim Your In my prayers God Bless You can look it up on Amazon....just type In cream for skin antibotic....
Omg...I am soooo relieved but also very very troubled because I have suffered for YEARS!! EVERY ONE thinks I am crazy or under stress so I am having hallucinations.. But I have also thrown away thousands of dollars of clothes, bedding, rugs,towels etc
yes, I have this too. How do I get rid of this. I tried isopropyl alcohol too. They don't go away. They only die when I boil my clothes.
Who are you? Who am I talking to? These bugs are so nerve racking. Had bites one other time don't know what I did to get rid of them, got rid of my couch, washed all blankets and pillow cases. I would like to know what kind of bugs these are. Please help me.
I have had the exact same problem for the past 2 years, and at first I thought it was just dirt because I moved out to the country and I started getting these awful bites, mostly at night, when I slept, but I would always feel something moving on me, but I could never see anything. Except for these little black specks, which did not pop, did not move. When I tried to mess with them. And through lots and lots and lots of research, I found out through my veterinarian that they are mites.!!! Carpet freshener with baking soda. And apple cider, vinegar borax and. Something like neosporin or a prescription antibiotic cream will get rid of the skin irritation. I will not go away unless you stop the problem where they're coming from for me. It was my animal when I let him roam around outside here in the country.
Yes it's real the bites the holes in your skin and eating flesh from the inside out. Charcoal activated soap hot hot baths and DEEP sprayed on your skin and clothes will get rid of the itchy black bugs. Just have to stay in side shower couple times a day and keep people out your house they carry those bugs in on there clothes. You feel the pain because some people are Not allergic to them. I am and they just about killed me ... hope you get better good bless and watch over you
OMG !!! I am going thru the same thing my boyfriend things I am crazy they look like a piece of pepper my ankles and behind my ears are getting bit so bad - I bought eucalyptus and peppermint oil all it it did was make them mad. I can't live like this - does anyone know how to get rid of them ?? Please ??
I think you should consider noseeums. I was bitten for around 2 years by biting bugs in my backyard. It was all dirt at that time.
They caused small extremely itchy bites on my ankles that turned into welts and moved up my body. I was so miserable I ended up in the ER. I could not see the bugs at all.
They told me bedbugs and I purchased sprays but I knew they werent. Doctors told me to take Benedryl and allergy medications daily which of course dried out my eyes.
I eventually had my backyard renovated with a deck and plants/ flowers. I also decided I have to figure out what I had changed when the bites started.
At that time I determined that I had started multivitamins with 42 different fruits and vegetables in it. That was it. The bugs were wildly attracted, so I stopped it immediately.
Nothing bites me anymore. I thought it would be forever. Sorry for the long response but maybe I can help someone.
Bugs are more attracted to some people than others. Be careful of perfumes, colognes, body lotions. If you have a vacant lot in your yard as I did, do whatever is affordable to get rid of dirt. Rocks, pavement, flowers, plants whatever.
I have cats and dogs, and bugs think I dont exist anymore since I stopped the multivitamin mineral product that I thought was so great for me.
I have the same exact problem. Bites on my ankles and other numerous places. The bug sounds extremely familiar. I'm struggling a lot and have cleaned this whole house and I'm getting bitten everyday. I'm desperate for help, did you find any solution?
I have the same problem, I saw one on my arm and knocked it off but I have huge red spots on my arms and my elbow looks infected from this please help.
I have the same problem.,but I'm the only one getting bit ankles ,ears ,few other places and rashes get bad between my legs ,been to every specialists its all.a guessing game ...its ruin my life job ,relationship idk what to do
I realize this was posted in 2014 I know have a black bug the exact same as the one i had in 2010 I bought sheets at walmart It just happened I iron the sheets and all of a sudden you could see the bugs They live in your bed and bite you Mind you I took those sheets back to Walmart but it was to late I had washed them and dry the sheets so it spread through my clothes It took months to get rid of them. Now in 2018 I again have these bugs this is crazy
I had the same problem after moving s whole lot of wood. They bite and are like black specks. To get rid if them put diamestaceous earth powder in your bed and pillows. Put it in your hair and all over your body and sleep on it for at least two nights (naked if you can). You'll need to sleep with a mask because the powder is so fine that every time you move you breath it in. Put it on floor and clothes if you like then after a couple of days vacuum it all but vacuum the specks of the bed and re apply the D. EARTH. Also use peppermint oil after this on body and bed to keep them away.
I have the same exact problem I don't know how to get rid of them they stay on walls and when I am on my phone I see one crawling on my phone. Also it itches like crazy and leaves a tiny pink spot
I am having same problems I have had bug people come over they said nothing but what is it I keep finding in my hair clothes and it crunches makes a weird sound.ect
Thanks please respond Jacqueline

I have the same problem. I live in the north of uk.
I feel them on my face and feel them being squashed sometimes when I wipe my face.
I have woke up with tiny puncture marks and they go for my eyes , in my nose + ears.
Tried foggers (smoke bombs) and have just sprayed my place with a bird parasite insectocide , but stil have the problem.Wondering if it could be bird mites from potting indoor plants from outside soil , or from black mould ( mites )

These bugs are from China everything you buy anymore has them on it
Hi I am having the same problem I have a 3 month old and a 7 year old and today I found one in my babys crib how did you get rid of them Im going crazy !
I also found them on BOTH my children and husband but he thinks Im INSANE. They disappear because they change back into dust after you catch them. Watch closely under light and you will see. Look up Morgellons. The way to rid them is quite extensive and I, myself, have not started it.
Alls I know is.. Im irritable, not myself, and often have outbursts. My life has slowly been taken over by this stupid mechanism of science and I cant for the life of me figure it out.
I just want to cry.
Im in Massachusetts. If that helps any. Im on my way to alkalizing my body, essential oils, borax, DE, garlic, peroxide, epsom salt, and vitamins of many variety.
It wont fix the problem but if you rub vaseline all over your body it helps tremendously. Almost like they're not there but if you shower reapply immediately othewise risk of the biting again. Ive been dealing with this for over a year, it started with scabies, then after 2 treatments i feel a lil better but still these small black dots that bite me. Got checked for lice and was cleared. Only thing that works is vaseline for stopping the itch/biting feeling, dermatologist stuff didnt work as well.
Yes I have tried everything been dealing with this for 1yr and 3 months and Im very depressed about it been to doctors they claimed to not see anything family think Im crazy Im just so tired seriously what is it and how can we get rid of this
I been going through what so many others are describing. My eyes nose, hair, body. I truly believe it's a mite, I've been doing so much reading up on this and have had to try and pull bugs out of my skin, it's very painful, it feels like stinging. I ordered kleen green and it seems to help, but my fear is what mites can cause when under the skin. I might be able to fix my body with certain creams from my dr but I am really worried about the infestation. This is no way to live. Kleen green is expensive but I'm going to keep using it and I'll let you know if it works.
Prayers for all.
These could be mouse mites. My niece is experiencing these. They prefer some people to others. You need an exterminator and you need to vacuum bedding, curtains, lampshades and other fabric items.
The black pepper mites usually live in the nest of birds and rodents. I'm having the same problem. My poor son is one and I find them in the backroom and his room the worst. I've had terminix here four times and they have not found anything I catch these things on sticky mouse traps and the terminix guy says he can't tell what they are.We did just remove a bird's nest out of the soffit right by his bedroom. I'm thinking either we have some more bird nest somewhere because I'm seeing these black specks everywhere now and I even see them in his hair. I'm going to call terminix on Monday and tell them I think it's mites.
If anyone has Oak trees near their home, they might be Oak tree Gall Midge Mites.
They feed on the eggs of the Gall Midge that lay eggs inside Oak leaves. They are known to bite humans. It's said it feels like a Chigger bite but way more itchy.
I have the same problem there eating me alive I called three exterminaters they think I'm nuts tell me there dust I don't know what to do any one have any advise
I know what you all are going through because it's happening to me too. I didn't think much about the bites to begin with since at that time my puppy had ear mites. I feel like I am covered head to toe with these bites so I thought why don't you try some coconut oil, low and behold these small black specks/bugs we everywhere. I am going to the dermatologist tomorrow maybe they can help.
How did it go at the dermatologist? Im about tos Chrysler there also. Its my last hope other than the exstensive treatment online .
Thanks
One concerned mother
Has anyone got any answers Ive got these black dots and like white eggs on my towels everywhere they have black dot it when squashy them and they are coming from mine n daughters hair
I have read just about all the comments in this blog. No one really knows matter of factly what the hell we're dealing with! This is ridiculous in this day an age! Wtf... here it is 3:14am in San Francisco Ca and I'm once again showering because I feel this tiny M.Fers all over me. I at one point thought it turned into a psychosis but my partner is experiencing the same issue. How can two different people be delusional about the same thing? I've heard chemtrails stardust dirt mites dust mites my imagination tweeking psychosis paranoid allergies even the old "what drugs did you take!" Its bullshit, someone has to know what the hell this is. I'm afraid to put my clothes on, I have to examine them before I put them on and that becomes time consuming. It takes me hours beforei can even leave the house to ensure I don't walk around the city scratching and itching. The city has hadahuhebed bug issue for sometime and when I scratch I get that look from people and then i get self conscience. This problem has to come to an end, I can't live like this!
I remember when growing up, my mother talked about every bug parasite under the sun and this shit, she never mentioned and believe me... if it was happening back then she would have said something in reference to it and she didn't. So that tells me this is something that just started in this millennium! That chemtrails theory... might be something to consider.
Searching for solutions
Suffering in SF
guys i am absolutely going insane. ive been dealing with strange bug bites for three weeks. went to two doctors and neither of them could identify. i see tiny black jumping bugs that i dont think are fleas because they dont have the right back legs. sprayed everything down with raid flea killer and theyre still here. hard shell, about the size of a pepper grain but a little longer. i am constantly washing clothes and sheets. i am at a complete loss. my boyfriend doesnt get bit and thinks im crazy!!
Ive been dealing with this for 3 months now. It has gotten worst. And Ive read through all of these comments dating back to 2017. This is crazy. My husband isnt getting bitten but I am. I think my 2yo daughter is getting bit but she doesnt complain about any itching. All my bites are concentrated below my knees. Ive washed clothes, sheets, blankets, etc. several times. Vacuumed and shampooed carpets and Im still getting bit. I stay in an apartment that Ive lived in for 6 years. Idk what is going on.
I also have the same issue. Pest companies dont know what it is! They are tiny black dots at young stage of life and still bite ferociously! I dont know what to do anymore! Have had 4 pest termination treatments!
I'm also dealing with this and I'm going to say it is rodent mites. My neighbor is a hoarder and there are rats everywhere. They are in my front and back yard now and they are huge. Cats from all around the neighborhood come and hunt these rats. And in the winter what do you know they were in my dam house. I've been going through straight torture with these things. I use to love working now I can't hold a job longer than a month. Electric and gas are shut off and I'm a couple months away from losing my house that only owed 21,000$ and I just don't care anymore. I called my sons and told them they could have my Harley and my cars and rite away my marine son took my guns away from me and new that I was going to end it ,yes I was suicidal. I never tried to hurt myself but it crosses my mind sometimes so this thing that we are dealing with is real. My wife is starting to get bit up now after I've been dealing with this for about three years. By the way I had professional exterminators come here and it did nothing but pass these things off and bit the shot out of me. I also been to the E.R. twice and regular doctor once. I've been treated for scabies 2 times and a fungus infection once and nothing works. I will say this that my house flooded from the second floor because the sink was left on and a couple months after that is when this all started so maybe it's mold mites or dust mites or who the he'll knows. Anybody know????
