Question At 1st I thought I was nuts....

but then my son(4) & daughter(3) started too. I have noticed in the past week or two these single little tiny thin black/dark hairs (some look like they are slightly just below surface) that seem to come from my skin. Now that Im paying attention & noticing this odd thing, it seems my kids have it too! before today I hadnt even heard of morgellons. I happend to google the hair thing & got WAY more than I bargained for. Looking back in the past several months I can recall some signs.It all started one night with what I had always thought of as a mole until I looked closer & thought it to be a splinter. I tried with much difficulty to remove it and ended up removing all these little brown things from my arm which I thought were the insides to the mole that I had mistaken as a splinter. needless to say the next day I had 3 dimesize "holes" that I had dug into my arm to get things out that just kept appearing (I HAD NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN ALL MY 30 yEARS!) I assumed it was some allergic reaction to cleaning products that I had been using etc. When the "holes" started to heal up(I had removed at least 1 layer of skin prob) I kept noticing these black things the size of a mini staple around the edges & sometimes in the middle. I pulled them out at first as I thought fuzz from shirts. & eventually deduced that they were some type of strange scab but nonetheless kept picking them out for some odd reason. they healed slowly but eventually. About this same time I noticed on my little girls "private area" what looked like to be a spider bite one day while changing her after nap. Its still there today(3 months later). everything was forgotten until the past 2 weeks or so. i noticed what I thought to be a tiny ingrown hair on my face around my eye, so i pulled it out & noticed an abundance more all over my face. They are either dark or light blonde and both are baby fine & kinda squiggly but notlike a ball of fuzz quite. I wasnt sure what to make of it and also I started noticing on my arms ingrown hairs and what seemed like a whole bunch more fine baby arm hairs, looked it up & deduced it was "keratosis pilaris".......until today! I was putting lotion on my son cuz he has really dry skin & what i thought was exzema until I noticed the same type of hairs coming from his skin & "exczema" pimples, same with my daughter too. I mean like face, arms, legs, back,neck, etc. Also lately been asking my kids while at daddys for the weekend if they have been climbing anything wooden cuz of what seems like are micro splinters(they both always seem to have at least 1) or what looked like tiny pebbles in thier skin. I thought they fell outside? or if they have been playing in sand cuz it seems to be all in thier hair, and just the other day I noticed what I thought was black sand in my daughters hair but none of the shiny pieces that also come with sand. Also looks like shes developing some scalp buildup. I have noticed the coffee ground thing here & there if Im "picking" my face skin, which by the way I seem to have developed an obsession with. i noticed just recently that I seem to be breaking out into what I thought were pimples (never had acne) mainly on myface, shoulders, back of neck along lower hairline & back but they dont pop or if they do its a thick oily/sticky fluid? & they seem to itch if i sweat. I seem to be doing more of that lately and also hot flashes have come along with this? I noticed scalp buildup in my hair three days ago to the point that i was running my fingers through my hair & it would release a bunch or shorter wirey hairs that i thought were ingrown due to buildup and also under my fingernails was filled with this gritty greyish skin residue? hair has seemed a bi greasy lately. IDK what to make of any of this, and reading all of this Im SCARED for my kids but dont want to be overreacting. Before today I was chalking most of thi up to new england fall weather setting in.....now im not so sure. Any advice, opinions, or thoughts would be welcomed. PLEASE help me?
