collembola

[10meters]

Collembola (spring tails)

Spring tails so named because of their ability to literally spring from rugs, furniture… onto one’s ankles and legs. Apparently they can either detect body heat or movement from inches away and spring into action. Of the 2,000 plus species, it’s unknown which ones are mostly responsible for invading human hosts.

Once these skin parasites take up residence in human skin, they cause an intense itching and biting sensation that is practically nonstop.

Visits to doctors who do plug sample biopsies, blood tests, and order stool samples usually yield no diagnosis. Microscopic examination of skin samples by most pathologists usually yield nothing and this is because they are unfamiliar with the parasite which is difficult to identify even under ideal conditions.

Really the best way to identify the parasite is from its behavior of jumping onto your ankles and calves from infested rugs or furniture. As they jump, they can be felt landing on the skin followed by crawling sensations shortly thereafter followed by intense itching.

As they invade the human host they often leave non-healing lesions.

A study conducted under the auspices of the National Pediculosis Association (NPA) in Needham, Mass., and the Oklahoma State Department of Health found over 90% of those in the study diagnosed with delusions of parasitosis were infested with collembola.

Search of the cdc website listing all known parasites comes up negative for these skin parasites. Treatment is pretty much and unknown. In other words there are thousands of people infected with these parasites that up until the 04 study by the National Pediculosis Association were diagnosed with a mental disorder.

Sufferers of Collembola are usually left to a life akin to “living in hell.” Anti fungals, antibiotics, anti protozoan meds, meds for treatment of mites or any other skin disorders yields at best temporary relief for approximately four days.

If this seems to describe your life and you are seeking relief, go to www.DStressdoc.com/skin-problems.htm which describes my personal hell of approximately four years before I discovered what I call the “King” diet. King as in tops as opposed to royalty. I suggest you read about my personal hell to determine if you relate with the symptoms. Since diagnosis of this parasitic skin condition has not been perfected, symptoms are the only way to determine if you suffer from the same parasites from which I suffered. If so, there may be a glimmer of hope in that you may find at least symptomatic relief in the diet that I perfected over the last fourteen years. It’s available as a report and contains not only the diet that many have used for relief of the daily hell, but also information on how to bathe, disinfect your surroundings, medical and nutritional approaches to dealing with the skin parasites, and email updates informing you of advances in fighting the disease that some may call Morgellons.

Actually Morgellons seems to be a catch-all phrase which may umbrella many different parasites. Nevertheless, as of 06, the diet works with all those who identify themselves as Morgellons sufferers. To learn more, click here.

I get so frustrated with people trying to make a living off of others misfortunes!!!!!!!!! What ever happened to being compassionate? Knowledge is meant to be shared and what comes around goes around.. So many are completely devastated..physically, emotionally and FINANCIALLY...
After watching my mother suffer so bad..here's what I found..and it's FREE knowledge..

1.They thrive on sugars..so eliminate them from your diet
2.Keep the humidity down as low as possible in your home.
3.Keep the areas under your sinks dry..air them out. Put sticky bug strips under all of your sinks.
3.Pesticides do not kill them. They are one of the oldest bugs known to man.
4.Salt baths work. It dries them out.
5.ALWAYS blow dry your hair after showers till it's completely dry. Even when your hair is dry later in the day..blow dry it again..several times thru out the day.
6.Oil will smother them..coat your hair till it's dripping wet with unscented baby oil..every night of life before Mother goes to bed she simply coats her hair with plain unscented baby oil(sleeps with it in her hair all night long)..bugs are gone!..they've been gone for weeks...
7.Dish washing liquid will eat the waxy coating off of their shells, add some to your shampoo..it will help kill them
8.They hate Borax..put it on your carpets.
9.Make sure your mattress and pillows are covered in plastic.
10.Keep your windows shut..or they'll come right thru your window screens.
11.Use oils that are wintergreen, menthol, lavender..it deters them..if using on your skin dilute these oils in something like baby oil..if you use them full strength they'll burn your skin.
12.Use antifungals, once in a while on your hair/scalp/skin.
13.Use a sulfer based shampoo ieenorex, Selsun Blue etc. a couple of times a week

I don't have everything unpacked, but when I think of more I'll add them to this list..If I forgot anything you guys can think of I know you'll post..(thanks) Shame on whoever wrote this and is trying to sell the information, this is such a painful, devastating condition but thanks for posting it 10meters, it does bring light to the fact many suffer from this and don't know it's bug related. Hope everyone is doing well..xxsuzzie

I agree suzzie,

Like many other intelligent knowledgeable individuals like Cliff Mickelson, I too find that Collembola is not a component of morgellons and it cannot explain many of the facts associated with it. Like for instance the fibers, how is the collembola producing those or causing them to be produced? The polymorphism, collembola are not capable of the life forms seen in morgellons. They have no means of penetrating the human body. Maybe some people are being biten by collembola but they are certainly not responsible for morgellons. There is a widespread effort on the internet to convince people that morgellons is caused by the Collembola and from what I've seen much of it associated with "buy this" or "buy that" ads. Suzzie has posted the agents that are known to be effective so don't waste your money buying someone elses BS. The only thing I would like to add to that list is copper and you can buy it at nutrition stores.

Hi Suzzie

Your sentiments are mine exactly. I am so tired of greed from the government on down through congress and governmental agencies including the FDA, Pharmaceuticals, Chemical companies. All this greed makes me sick. "What doth it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul ?" There is a universal and Bibical law of sowing and reaping "We reap what we sow good or bad. We reap more than we sowed and for much longer than we sowed it.

Thanks to you and Safrey for sharing your knowledge about treatment for springtales.I don't know much about this and really appreciate your suggestions. I have been taking my own colloidal silver, and I order Ionic Liguid copper from the Water Oz 1-800-547-2294 and Angsrom Ionic liquid sulphur from Kornax 1-877-328-1744. I have no financial interest in either of these companies. Email me about these for further information.
Thanks for all of your help. I look forward to more suggestions as you locate them.
Is your Mom well now? I pray so.
I enjoy your posts they are always so informative.

I have been saying for a long time that something in my house was biting me. Nothing I did got rid of them. My family and friends think I am crazy. I threw out my carpet and have used anything I could to get rid of these things. Many bottles of enzymes and pounds of menthol crystals have not solved my house problem which is now my physical and health problems also. I get so confused and have no family support or medical support. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

Hugs and blessings,
gator

Hi Gator!

After reading your post it made me sad that you do not have any family/friend support or medical. Here I was feeling sorry for myself because of my divorcing my ignorant/uncompassionate spouse. At least I have medical and family support. But I guess when you really think about it-us here are your family!
LOL

[Gator]

Thanks Lizette,

Thanks for your caring, kind words.. Sorry about your divorce, but sometimes it is just better that way. I'm happy you have a supportive family. That always helps.

I read the posts and I am learning a lot. All of you have been very supportive, kind and caring and yes, you have become my family and I DO appreciate it.

I truly understand this disease is a 24-7 job and we are all so very busy trying to keep afloat that although we mean to do more we just absolutely cannot.


Prayers,
gator

no collumbola are not responsible orgaism but a related one i think drawn by pheremones, like any other insect around handy as far as not penetrating skin, WRONG they burrowed into my neck and scalp ad into my daughters. it really hurt lucky did not go through that, (LC).

I found a brush to shampoo with its from fuller brush company, when I used it I found on the brush two spots that looked like oil, they were eggs I believe. Today I did not put the DE and still heard the crunching sound from them, hubby learned that they shed there shells every other day. They are on our dogs and there is not way to get rid of them, but there is a anti fungal for plants from echochem, same company that sells the eco vie in canada, I know someone here in Hawaii that had the same problem. After spraying her bush's with this, she no longer has them. This is when I became active, I was gardening and turned over a pot an there were thousands. I called the health dept, they took samples an came back springtails, they say they are harmless my butt. When I go to rest now I soak a paper towel in eco vie and just go to sleep, it keeps them off your face, I now know that is was them that was attached to my eyelash's that made me pull them out because they had grown almost a inche, eco vie is helping them also and my eye brows. Love the new brush and the Jasons Shampoo with neem oil and other good stuff in it. Is there anything those suckers hate. I know they drown in water. Thanks Unclear

[ladycolorado]

Very well put, suzzie. I'll back you on all of it except #7 Dishwashing Liquid is not meant to even touch skin, especially Cascade, as one of the worse. Not only this but it will strip the hair...not good. Instead I would like to recommend JOICO CHELATING. Chelating therapy for the body is just as good, removing heavy metals and toxins from the blood stream. Afterall, that's what we are being douced with from above, in my theory.
