Hi I was just wandering how u were going with the parasite problem? I live in Australia and am going through simialar things. It all started about 18 months ago when l had a friend came over and stay who bought Bed bugs with them, what a night mare its been. To cut the story short l have had to have my house proffessionally sprayed 3 times a total of $1800.00 to get rid of them. The last time my house was sprayed was about 9 months ago, l stayed at my parents house for a couple of weeks as l was worried about the pesticide chemicals as l have my baby grandaughter who lives with me who is now 15 months old. The time come when l had to go back home to live l was so anxious as my grandaughter had an allergic reaction to the bedbug bites. A couple of weeks after staying at home l started to feel things crawling on me, l rang the pesticide guy back and he said it is impossible as he bathed my house in spray, was his exact words, it was actually dripping down my walls, but l insisted he come back and check. NO Bed bugs found!! My family tryed telling me l had a phobia frm having bed bugs and that it could actually make u feel like you had things crawling on you, but thats fine but that doesnt explain the tiny little looking bugs that l have been scraping of my body, coming out when l have a bath, on my grandaughter. i went to my doctor only to be told l could be delusional, l insisted she sent them to pathology, who didnt no wat it was, so l sent it to the melbourne museum and was told they were SPRINGTAILS but they do not come near humans, but that is not the case they are in my hair on my body my clothes all around my house, and no one believes me that they are actually living on me. My family think l have gone crazy and want me to see a chyc, l agreed to go to keep them quite. The doctors now are going to do skin scrapings on me to see if they can find anything and said if they cant it is all in my head which it definately isnt. This has taken over my hole life all l do is look for bugs, pick them of me research. It is just a total nightmare and l just want to be well. Im washing my clothes and soaking them in boiling hot water tried differnt treatments but nothing has worked. L am so worried for grandaughter as l dnt no wether this is going to do any longterm harm. My 14 year old daughter who lives with me doesnt want to talk to me as she is confused and angry and it doesnt seem to be affecting her...Wat to do??? L=lm sry to rave on you are the first person l have talked to online. I am going to go crazy if l dnt find a cure. l feel them mainly of a night or when l sweat, they crawl in my ears. What is going on?? Plz keep me updated if u find anything that helps

I have been doing reseach on the net.i do see that many people which also includes myself are going thru this.I did find nother blog about this.Were many are going thru this and this parasite was studyed in a lab.So,This parasite was studied in a lab and only had one woman who was cured.This is really nice to know.So with this to be the case.Were is the cure so we all can use the products and get well and be bug free.Than having to go thru this.I have no bites on my body i shower .I do not bathe since i see a fungi present in my scalp by washing it with a wash cloth and the use of latex gloves and a mag glass.Last night i had a sore spor on the upper right of my skull and help a hot wash cloth on it.Then rinsed it out with the sink closed and it looked like a clear string/parasite worm.But it has not mutated to a parasire/springtail.I did read a mans journal who knows all about this on the net and talks about this site and many others.No,We are not crazy.Yes,This is real you cant deny the fungi  on the scalp when u see it under water in the sink via a mag glass.So there you have it.I am going to look for this mans blog so i can give everyone the url.I wanted to know were it came from.It was tested and grown in a lab!Then how was this let loose in the general public!!!!I really am shocked to see such evil in this world.All we want is the cure that ne and only woman got so we can move forward and quit going thru this pain,waste of time.money and etc!I got this from a hotel room in Las vegas,Nv!So many came from all across the world to stay at that hotel.This may explain why me.But what about the others?Were all of you at a hotel too?I know  this can be spread from person to via person since the friend who was in the back seat of my car never got infected.I got it because i had to drive and my friend she got it first from the sofa she slept on in the room with two double beds.I am going to look up the url.Then it talks about how people should find a new e for their pets.Wow!This blog really upset me.But i guess it is better to know the truth than not at all!!!

Hello,
These can be due to body lice also. According to CDC(centre of disease control), Intense itching (“pruritus”) and rash caused by an allergic reaction to the louse bites are common symptoms of body lice infestation. Wash the Clothing, bedding, and towels in hot water and dry them in sun after machine drying them. Topical permethrin or Lindane cream may be needed which are available by prescription only.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
