Will tell hole story in a day or too. Friend is in real bad shape.
Cannot see bugs but going crazy because he is feeling them crawling on him.
Tried everything. He also suffers from severe depression and OCD.

Any similar cases.

You are seeing what the doctors see, no bugs, so this is why we get diagnosed with delusions of parasites, the itching is REAL, but the bugs do not show up for the party.


I wonder if the parasites know that its party time

[tcmgpt13]

There are some who do not seem to have parasites while others do. Certainly Dr. Harvey who was treating those with Morgs symptoms found some of them and even identified what some of them were.

There's a lot of information about what to do to alleviate symptoms under the treatment section of the main forum page, up at the top of the page.

Yes, BO, I think the parasites know it's party time, as they show up uninvited all the time.

[wayneNM]

is it possible that it is not bugs per se, but could be somethings else, allergies,
internal organ failure, etc?

[wayneNM]

Is there anyone in New Mexico who would want to be part of a technical study?

When I first felt the movement on me I assumed as anyone would that I had some bugs on me. In fact, my first thought were of a population explosion of Demodex mites because this was what I had found on the internet while searching. (The time came when I had to force myself to looup Morgellons. I knew about it because my pain Dr. had told me of a patient of his with it, but I feared it and held off as long as I could to search it. However, what I ended up seeing was exactly what I had already seen in my own home and on me.)

Demodex mites are something ALL people have in their hair follicles. For whatever reason, in some people they become overpopulated and they think this may be the cause of Rosacea. If I remember right, demodex mites come out of hair follicules at night and do their breeding thing. However, remember these are normal thing on a human body and even a Dr. will say they too have demodex mites.

But even though I had seen my hair stand up straight and sway back and forth like fungal hyphae does when it is looking for food, and even though I had some weird thick very WHITE hiars from my head I still thought I had some bug. Since I had tried just about everything else I bought some hair dye hoping this would kill what ever was on my head.

It did not work and the thick white "things" did not change color from the dye. They stayed whate as white can be.

Then I noticed my hair moving on my forehead and by my ears. This told me it was part of the crawling issue but not at all the complete reason. I bought a 15 x magnified mirror at Walmart so I could see what was going on on my scalp.

I had also noticed I wa getting thicker and thicker hair. Nt coarse, but more hair. I didn't know what to do with them there was so much, I told my husband.

What I saw looked like a jungle. Comma shaped hairs attached to longer hair, weird ones twisted around other hairs and I oulled some out and watched them move. This was when I made the decision to shave my head and keep it shaved until the day ever came that my real hair wouod grow. That day has not come yet.

I have never seen bugs, ( doesn't mean they are no there) but the worst of my crawling is on my face scalp and feet. I do get the tickling feelings all over my body sporadically.

One thing I did notice is that what I was feeling felt just like a vaginal yeast infection. I do use Monistat cream on my face and scalp and it does bring "things" to the surface; white thread like things which don't move anymore. I can pull them off with a tweezers and they have the plaque (biofilm) attached to them.

Welcome here and take the advice from tcmgpt13. You should find some help here.

Everyone gets the itchies, when i first started posting people would say they saw bug parts, looks like this, looks like that.

I have seen many things that look like this and that, but clouds also look like this and that, so would a piece of a leaf.

My self I never did see bugs ever but still had itching and it traveled all over me, but cumulated in my ears when it was no where else, it was horrible, I wondered if I had to go thru life like this.

I know that many say they have seen bugs, and that is quite possible, as there is a part of the population with parasites, but for the most part I believe the itching to be a invader, what I do not know and neither does anyone else.

People will swear to what this is, but if the itching was a common bug source we would all most likely see this source, ALL OF US, and doctors would also see the bug, but the doctors do not.

Would we imagine the doctors to be blind, that is the only thing I think they are not as they need their site to count their money. LOL.

With my microscope I have found one living parasite in my urine and it was well hidden in a sheath or husk looking thing. I have only seen one alive but many of the sheaths/husks empty. In light of this I took Ivermectin to kill whatever that was in my body, I do not know if it worked because as I have said, I could only find one alive. If the parasite could have been identified I would have known the life cycle and could look for it further on and would know just what to look for.

Maybe I will get Mr. Microscope out again and search on.

Iknow there are parasites, I know there are people with parasites, this disease may even make a certain smell that draws them, THE ITCHING THAT I DO NOT THINK IS FROM PARASITES.

Then you need to look at scabbies victims. They all suffer intense itching and stings due to alergenic reactions on the nervous system. That tells me that any bug could do the same type of reacting. Yeast overload also causes intense itching and stinging and proabally a thousand other things as well. For those of us who have or had bugs, we know we have or had bugs it was just those dang fibers and lessions and biofilm we were delusional about for so long.

[Baraka Obam]

Just exactly how do you know all these things about the specks and parasite cycle of life, do you have a laboratory or are you guessing, because not one scientist knows what you know. If I bring my microscope to your home will I see the same thing or are these just too fast to see??

I am not trying to be a anti bug at all, when claims are made I have questions all I want are answers to questions.

The one I can not imagine anyone would have the answer to unless they have a laboratory or are guessing is the life cycle of a given parasite in the human body.

This is one of my pet peves, statements of facts where there can be nothing credible without testing and equipment to do the testing.

INSIDE the specks are smaller specks. Very tiny. I can see them only with my reading glasses AND the magnifying glass. These are what bite. They move very fast.

The larva go through 5 instar stages and secrete uric acid which causes many health problems; painful joints, muscle cramps, gall stones, itchy skin.
The adult of this parasite lives in the intestine, embedded in the intestinal wall, sometimes the appendix.
First stage larva are carried via the blood system to the skin where moult occurs, followed by later instar stages. Fifth stage larva emerge from the skin, take a blood meal, and re-enter the dermis to return to the intestinal lining where more eggs are laid.
The whole cycle seems to be about 14 days.

I do not know how to kill it.

my issues started with bugs you could actually see. Now I have the white and black specs no bugs but still bitting. allergy doctor on Tues. so I hope they can rule out more issues. sammy
