what I have noticed with my own situation is that the itching seems most associated with what appears to be egg-laying cycles, or some sort of reproductive cycle. The reason that I say this, is because the itch is horribly intense in a particular location, until the skin is broken, and then it usually resolves, until that area dries or scabs--there is a "drive" to keep re-opening this "orifice." Unfortunately,that has led many of us to mistakenly begin to believe that we NEED to open these sores in order for them to heal. Or we even open them while sleeping, (I have,) just to relieve the itch--that WILL NOT stop--until the sore is opened.

I have even found that these lesions that aren't healing, will begin to heal after I have touched one open sore to another sore such as my right arm to left leg, or the one on my left arm to the one on my forehead. I found this out by accident, because I was simply moving my arm past my forehead, and it felt like the positive and negative poles of two magnets attracting each other. They will almost "stick" together until whatever exchange is finished. I am sure that this is probably related to two parasites exchanging genetic gametes for more egg laying--but it helped heal the sores that they had been keeping open on the skin, for some reason. (They maybe can store eggs for months, for instance.)

The itching CAN also occur with small fresh "worms," larvae (little black threads,) other sheaths & fibers, or eggs (fertilized are black and unfertilized are white, I think,) just under the skin like a persistent splinter that is working its way out.

But the STINGS and bites, seem to be mainly from fresh new invaders latching on and trying to move in. Usually very sharp & brief, but can then proceed to the stage of small thread or larvae like above.

The itching is a neurogenic itch, and NOT histamine-mediated (like a mosquito bite, allergy reaction, or hives) from the personal trials that I have run on how it responds to treatments. It is caused by the triggering of nerve impulses by the parasites, and will NOT respond to the usual anti-itch medicines (benadryl, calydryl, calamine, cortisone, lanacaine) It does respond to the anti-parasite topical agents: DSP, essential oils, salts, vinegar, etc. Please let me know if any of you are having different experiences than what I have said here, since this is just empirical observations, and as such is always a "work in progress."
