sensation of hair in my mouth, throat and on my face

[jlsc5216]

I have been having the sensation that I have hair in my mouth, throat and on my face. I have also had periodic itching sensations on my skin everywhere.  Every couple of minutes or so I feel like I walked through a spider web.  I also feel like I have random hair in my mouth.  This all started after having a dog in our house for 12 hours.  I went to the dr and he tested me for allergies and found that I am not allergic to dogs and that I am only mildly allergic to dust mites and pollen.  The dog was only in our house for about 24 hours and my symptoms have not gone away.  Has anyone had this or heard of it?  My dr put me on allergy meds but they aren't working, just making me tired.

Update:  symptoms are getting better but are not gone.  Mostly my nose itches and I still have a sensation of hair in my throat and mouth when I am in dusty areas.  I went over my friend�s house that has a dog a few days ago and immediately my symptoms returned.  I am obviously allergic to dogs even though my test was negative for a dog allergy.  Has anyone ever tested negative but been allergic to what the test said they were not allergic to????

Hi jlsc5216, I recenly returned from a visit to The Villages Community in Florida. My Mother is experiencing the same sensations of hair in her mouth, on her face or walking thru a spiderweb. She also was treated for allergies but has no pets. If you have any info since your last post on 10/26/06 I would greatly appreciate your response. Thank You!

I have been trying to do some research and my post came up in my search.  MES5114, I just read your post.  I have search all over the internet and it seems like me and your mother are the only ones with similar allergic reactions to dogs!  

It’s has been over a year since my experience and I have done a lot of research about what kind of dogs I might not be allergic to.  I found that Labradoodles would probably be a good match for my allergies.  My wife and I decided to purchase a puppy and see what happens.  I did my research on breeders and visited two breeders before selecting a puppy.  The breeder we purchased the puppy from knew I was allergic and agreed to let me return the puppy for a full refund if I was allergic.  It only took about 30 minutes of having the puppy in my car before I started getting the same symptoms.  We thought the symptoms could be from other dogs, etc that were at the breeders so we decided to give the puppy a bath once we returned home.  We bathed the puppy but the symptoms still existed.  I thought it might take some time for the symptoms to subside so I waited.  The symptoms got worse over the night and in the morning I was miserable.  I knew what I had to do so I called the breeder and let her know I had to bring the puppy back.  We drove 1 ½ hours back to the breeder to return the puppy .  When we returned home we clean and vacuumed the house. The symptoms last a couple more days but immediately decreased once the dog was out of the house.

The symptoms I had included; the feeling of hair on my face (like I walked through a spider web), feeling of hair in my mouth, itching all over my body, and at night I felt like I had a tightness in my chest.

I live in Louisiana, and have never had an allergy to anything. No sensative skin, nothing. About 2 to 3 months ago, I began itching on my head, then  my face, then upper, and lower body. I went to the Dr. and was told i had dermatitis. Then it got worse and a rash appeared. I went back to the dr. pleading for him to do a skin scraping and look under the micro, but he wouldn't. I could feel the crawling in my ears, nose and throat but found nothing but black specs and white dandruff-like dust, but none of them moved. I treated for scabies, even though i did not have the tunneling. Then it went away. About two weeks later, it started all over again, only this time i had a weird electrical sensation moving about my body. i would look real hard, but could only see a blur. Then it started stinging me. I tried to grab it to make sure i wasn't losing it, and it was like a strand of spider web. Even stranger, when i used anything electric i could feel a buzzing sensation through my body and could see the blur by the plug.  The craziest thing, and the reason i know i'm not seeing things, is when i vaccumed my rug it felt like it got tangled on a loose threadbut when i pulled back there was only the web and it put such a strain on my poor Dyson, that the motor started to hesitate. Also i felt like the web was in the center of my bodypulling and stinging, so i cut it off. Anyway, i've been searching trying to find some mutant spider, or something to explain this. OH, and i beleive the eggs or roots of this thing are in my scalp, cause when i blow dry my hair i get resistance like the cord is hung up, but it isnt!!
