connect the dots?

[morgylady]

i have noticed that all 3 in my household have strange scab dots that you can follow and trace the "stings" and "bites" to. sometimes they are an inch apart and other times there are several crammed together but they follow the pattern of our skin inflammation and cuts too.

i tried taking pics but it just doesnt come out right. made a sloppy diagram in photoshop:
does anything else have this? doctor said its an allergy but yeah right. what allergy shows up at the same time every month (around the 15th) in 3 different people? my daughter gets them on her legs and arms...i get them on my arms...dh has them all over his back, legs and arms.

dh also has varicose looking things that crop up at the same time as the dots....and my daughter also "coincidentally" gets a diaper rash and paper cut-like things ( i too get the paper cuts from which dark brown thorns start to emerge and then retreat) at the same intervals too. plus dh has tiny bright red open sores. they look like dots of varying sizes.

always, they seem to follow some sort of inflammatory path....

i have wondered if the dots are "breathing holes". i just dont get this at all.

what do you think? have you guys had anything like it?

Yes morgylady I have plenty of those.In the beginning Doc said it looked like a scratch...vet said it was definitely something tracking.
Baraka and I and another member have used 35% peroxide on them followed by GSE which opens them up and brings the goo out too. We treated the small red spot area.This is not for the faint hearted,the peroxide does sting. So you wouldn't use it on children.
If you track back through baraka posts you will find what he says about them.He also submitted pics of what they did to his arm.
I was told once by a lyme doc that we are infected with microfilarial worms and some posts somewhere on here showed the male and female to be blue and red respectively.
I will try and find it.

Hi Morgylady....Sarothra had suggested those hoses might be the head of a nematode. I'll let her speak for herself if she chooses to clarify, but I think little observations such as yours are valuable in putting the clues together.

Thanks,

I had the dot dot dash around my neck now just white spots after the horrid huge lesions healed!

Hi Morgylady...I used to get the paper cuts, the skin would jusy split like tissue paper, sometimes skin would go pappy & so soft it rubbed away to leave a large hole, I used to get 2 holes next to each other, i figured it was the worms breathing holes, really don't know what to think, 18 yrs later have skin like a rhineostrous covered in lesions, hope they find some cure for all you young ones out there....Spots...

*sighs* thats whats scaring me....i can tell this is just the beginning and i can see it in my 1 yr old daughter. its killing me to think of how she is compromised. what she may look like in another 5 years? my poor baby. i dont know how to control this. what to give her....but i see it leaving faint long lines all over her skin...her legs..her little cheek....and i cant talk to a doctor about it for fear that she may be taken away. shes so perfect and beautiful....i cant bear to even try and imagine what her life will be like...how her skin and health will deteriorate...i dont even care about myself....

we have not gotten large lesions yet but from what i see in your comments, i know they will eventually come and i have no idea what i am going to do about it.

how are we going to kill whatever these things are?

Morgylady,

It breaks my heart reading what you said. Please try to not worry just yet and think positive? So many people are working on this and we will surely come up with remedial measures that will help her before things get worse.

Hi ML,
At the beginning of my illness I too had these an d went to Dr. several times and was told that the ones that were in a strait line were bed bug bites. I had my house checked and incidentally I did have BB and that is when all this started. At or around this same time my house was also infested with bird mites from open chimney, I have had house treated several times in this 2 yr period that i have been sick, I continued seeing black specs. I am just now seeing less and less of these biting flakes? I have tried everything and in beginning even put kerosene on my hair and nothing helped. The specs were everywhere. I threw away couch, bed and almost all clothes and still there were blk flakes and these bites. I began to have bio film or glue issues on ear and around neck. I think i had nest on both and the only thing that I have tried that has made any difference for me is the GSE and Vita-k age spots solutions?? I do not really understand why unless the vita- k helps kill possible bug virus and dimethicone smothers them. I first put the v.k. cream just on neck and ears but soon realized that they were everywhere even places that weren't symptomatic. So I put it EVERYWHERE! and I began noticing what APPEARED TO BE FLAKES OF SKIN start coming out of my skin. I call them biting flakes, because they do??? I have no clue as to what these are but as soon as they would come out i would wipe off with kleenex. I have used about 4 tubes of this cream in about 2 week time period but the bio-film is gone and i have found another good product to apply over those holes, as i do believe they are either breathing or exit holes?? whether this is true who knows but I do know that after applying chigarid that the holes are closing and the new ones are not growing and I apply it especially to my ears at night as it kind of seals your skin. no new bites here since doing this?? It does burn or sting somewhat at first but then it stops. So I wear Vita-K in day and chiggarid at night. I have seen no specs in a few day's?? so anyway just some suggestions for you that are inexpensive and safe. It is like try this and then that and then that and that and that til you find something that will work for you and your symptoms. Good Luck, I will be praying for you and your family.

so you have noticed the flakes too? i get little flakes that look like tiny white leaf buds coming out of my skin...they not only bite...they also jump! have you noticed movement in yours? this is so creepy. they come out of my daughters scalp periodically. im so scared for her.
