What's Bugging You?

[Unclear3]

We should have a report on all the different bugs that Morgellons attracts. This helps us all, so we don't feel like he has that or she has this. Then why do I have this or that. I know that it is a fungas gnat, I could feel the eggs in my head, and the buzzing in my legs and feet. Of course I did have the bugs tested to confirm, then took the vermox, which they are finnaly going away, although left small lesions. Very tired now from not getting a sound sleep for months. Now it is so hard to wake me up, my husband had to feed me coffee last night as my eyes were rolling behind my head, and I needed to at least eat and bathe. I also had a three day migraine. So far I have had problems with springtails and fungus gnats. Had a long talk with my best friend and when I was about 30 years old I worked in a greenhouse and that is when I really started to get all these weird illness's. Could mine be fungus gnats that are in all the soil we have. And they just built a ten tousand acre housing complex that is between were I live and a waste water plant. Plus there is a bill here they are trying to past on GMO's that it should be listed on the foods we buy. I think Morgellons is starting to explode, they no longer can hide it. Good post, Aloha Unclear

Hi Unclear ,
Thats a great idea . I've come across all sorts of different bugs since I caught Morgellons.
The latest is headlice on one of my youngest.She got them before she started Nursery so I have no idea where they came from .
I' ve spent hours combing through her hair with a nit comb.I've used all the chemicals my GP prescribed but they keep coming back.They are bigger than any I ve ever seen and are a lot darker. No one else seems to attract them except for her .Has anyone else come across these Monster HeadLice? And if so, how did you get rid of them?

My fiance and i both got head lice when i became ill, and we didnt know how we possibly got it. We used the lice treatments the doctor suggeted and eventually it went away. Weird how Morgs can cause head lice........ Another unexplainable attribute to all of this!

It's funny, but not funny the whole bug issue with this disease. For me, it was the part that kept me wondering if I was losing my mind. I was never a fan of bugs so when this first occurred and I couldn't SEE any bugs, but I knew I was getting bit, I lost it.

You couldn't help it, you had lesions, cuts, bites, etc. Your hair which was luxuriously long, shiny and curly was now clumped up like a rat's nest. After combing it, it changed texture. I bought every type of pesticide to kill "it" I was sure it was invisible scabies then lice then body lice then norwegian crusted scabies, bird mites, bed bugs....fill in the blank.

Looking back, all I know is that I was NOT crazy and I may have gone over board self treating when the MDs had no idea what was wrong. There was something eating me alive and I witnessed things that I don't want to recall. I know that many people living here in South Florida are being affected by this but it hasn't truly knocked them over yet.

I will say one thing about kids and lice. Go natural!! Tea tree oil, Dexoprin. Don't continually go with the pesticides. I believe they are building a resistance. Also, quarantine anything that you believe could have eggs - bag your bedding, pillows, etc. It's the never ending cycle of these darn bugs!!

I know that Bubba turned me on to the Dermatex (spelling?) and it was a natural kit. It had a spray, shampoo, etc. I bought it twice and was very pleased.

I hope this helps.

Also, remembering Bubba's post about this connection of bugs and Morgellons. She stated that Dr. H believed the vector (lice, scabies, etc) carried the new organism. For those of us with Lymes, it hit harder possibly. Our immune system was already compromised fighting Lymes for so long that the new vector was too much to handle.

Since our immune system is compromised, the pesticides are not helping. Our elevated bacteria levels along with lowered white blood cells, makes us attractive to bugs...seems likely.

Also, my neighbor, a grandmother, suffered from Impetigo 2 years ago. I believe it is a form of Morgellons. All 3 of her family members suffered from head lice for over a month this year. She had come here with her grand daughter and they didn't know that they had it, but we never got it. She went to a lice specialist and spent $600 to have the family treated. The company used ALL NATURAL products. She told my neighbor that everything is essential oils. After treatment, they were fine.

I agree MJ, essential oils are very powerful and don't have the side effects that are possible with pesticides. I used lots of essential oils in baths over the last couple of years and it has worked well.

This is a great thread concept - does anyone have any experience with having 'Springtails'?

[lamb]

I do! I do! I also have evidence of "barklice or booklice"in my home, which are not really lice at all but psocids. I have had warm and snuggly contact with 2 little girls who repeatedly had lice prior to last summer when my issues began.. but then again ..
I have a sickly dog
a husband who has been in love with Roundup for years
a boat on a filthy blue green algae pond
have gardened for years.
Houseguests who have travelled all over the world in the past two years
Reconsruction in 2 places recently.
live in air traffic control pattern
breast cancer twice

You name it.. I've got it!
Can't see 'em... I feel them
it's bi monthly
dog has it
feel them in fabric, clothes etc
doesn't wash out or off

but hey... I am delusional
What do I know heh?

[Kammy]

Hey Lamb,

You make the second person today to mention that 'they' are bi-monthly. The other person mentioned around the full moon and two weeks prior.

What's a 'psocids'?

Unfortunately, most of us have been diagnosed as 'DOP', Lamb. I think one of the definitions of 'delusional' is that it leaves from time to time... I'm still waiting, I wish the heck it would! I can't imagine my mind being this strong day after day... lol

Well... here's what I think - we'll patiently wait on the CDC report that due out soon, and if it's a bunch of 'bull', and still we don't get any medical treatment - we start a Morgellons Awareness campaign worldwide.

Who wants to be President?

Psocids are microscopic bugs that eat cellulose ( sugar) and can become a "nuisance" according to entymologists (who don't know s**t from shinola" unless it happened in a 30 year old text book.. kinda like that Eck idiot..(for another day).
They supposedly are innocent museum or garden infestors who croak at 37 degrees.. guess what? The average house keeps the perfect temp for them, once they are comfy well getouttatheway. Cellulose can include many things like fabric, fiber, cotton, carpets did I get beyond "g" yet?

I have seen mine bopping along their merry way and I have several witnesses who won't come near me anymore. They were in my bedding, towels, rugs, comforters, linen closets etc. I have all I can do just to keep my laundry clean and bagged every day. Of course my family is in denial so their stuff is still out. It's like a giant circle. Some days I win... some days I lose. I have stopped keeping track of the moon, I am a Cancer and have never slept well at this time. Now with the bug cycle, it just amps me out if I "know" it's coming.. even though my body knows anyway. The mental stress is more than I can bear. Tonight is a bad night but I had a bad day and had sugar as well. I will guess that we are coming up on half moon but I don't want any confirmation , thanks.
