I have that sticky yellow goo all over; on furniture, showers, cabinets, pillow cases and even wipes off of our skin.

hi philly. yes lint bllas here and "goo" which gets on our skin. this crud makes a medium for the fibers and specks to adhere to is my belief. so that we may pick up these things by touching objects, and also my belief this is what makes our skin crawl also. why had times was even being stung in the treatment baths at times. i use palmolive oxy plus dish soap to cut this film off of me (it's oxygenated) . kinda grayish green and gross. probably contains bacteria and fungus too. i find when wash with this soap and use a plastic mesh bath puff gets this crud off of me. and the treatment baths work better. a shower with this dish soap, not forgetting eyes and nostrils and scalp then repeat using selsum blue medicated helps me . however, now that i have a groshon catheter and taking iv meds and getting treatment i cannot soak cant get catheter wet. so i get in tub with water only up to waist level , and sponge bathe avoiding the catheter and the clear dressing. to wash hair, i use a pitcher and lean forward to rinse get hair wet and stuff. i still get kind of itchy at times but to a lesser degree with the iv meds. the reason why important to know about this film associated with disease is that i think what makes the crawling feeling so bad. to have relief must be removed, so critters can stick to us so well. anyway my opinion from my own experience.
