invisible biting bugs

Last summer I seemed to have become sensitive to bites to microscopic critters, apparently.  I used to leave the windows open during the day and night.  At first the bites began sporadically in the evenings during dusk.  They would bite my toes and between my fingers.  As time passed the bites increased even during the day. A couple months later I awoke in the middle of the night with a swarm I couldnt see on my scalp and all over. The itch was excrutiating and when I scratched my head they got under my fingernails.  My fingers looked like sausages from all the bites and I took a look in the mirror and my eyes and lips were horribly swollen with red splotches on my face.  I couldnt see any of these biters, even with that many.  The itch lasts several minutes and the swelling was gone by morning when they departed.  I've had to close up my home to keep them out after spraying bug spray and washing the curtains.  I'd open the curtans and they would bite my fingers.  They love fingeres and toes mostly.  It stopped during late winter but is starting again with warmer weather.  Any help identifying? also worse during cloudy weather and at night

Have you began to notice black specks all over the place? These things are so small that it is difficult to see but if you look hard enough, you will see them The vitamin C is really good. I will tell you that you are wasting way too much money on the rest of the stuff. I know. I've done them all. That's why I'm here to tell you that the mechanical way is the best. These things have no defense against this. Boil your clothes, sheets and towels. Bathe in Dr. Bronners peppermint soap in as cool a water as you can stand. After you're completely dry from your bath, cover yourself completely with food grade diatomacious earth. NO CHEMICALS. This only worsens the problem. Quit wasting tons of money.

Boil your clothes, sheets and towels. Take a cool bath in Dr. Bronners peppermint soap and after you're completely dried off after ur shower, use a ton of diatomacious earth on ur body like you wud any other body powder. Put it in ur shoes and socks and rub it in ur hair. Stop with the chemicals, this only makes the problem worse.

My husband and I had gone through the invisible itching, bite marks, etc.  We found the solution.  Just a bit more background first … If needles could bite, that was the sensation.  Other times the sensation was that something was crawling on us.  We spent a lot of money trying to get to the bottom of it including hiring and environmental engineer to take air samples (to check for asbestos, living organisms, infectious bird diseases).  We had a bird nesting in our mail box. In the same 2-3 week time window, we got mite bites from a hotel, and we visited some land and had a bunch of deer ticks crawling on our bodies.   After seeing a dermatologist, getting allergy skin tests for mold, buying a kid's microscope and magnifying glass to find the invisibles, having our pet birds tested for bird mites, buying essential oils (lemon, cedar, neem, peppermint, rosemary, etc, etc), bringing out 2 pest companies, washing bedsheets/clothes with bleach nightly, cleaning, sanitizing, vacuming  every day, bombing with cedar, air duct cleaning, air duct part changed,  etc,  etc (hell), we started to wonder why nothing was working and at that point considered that it was coming from within our bodies.  With what had happened, we spoke to an environmental Dr about getting testing for Lymes.  We both tested positive and I later confirmed with my family doctor that Lymes can manifest itself as invisible bites and crawling sensation.  1 year and 9 months later, we started the Buhner protocol (if you are diagnosed with Lyme, see his book - healing lyme) and have been on it so far for about 6 weeks.   Itching is going down for my husband.  We both have more energy.  Honestly, I can’t believe I was as sick as I was.  It started as itching but over time I had Low energy, memory loss, and hearing loss.  One note, most Lymes Disease  tests are not very accurate and may not detect the disease.  I suggest spending the extra money and having the blood test sent to IGenX.

use the candida therapy to get rid of the candida. Many including myself have done a lot of work to rid ourselves of this but I will tell you right now that it does NOT get rid of these bugs. Please read my other posts. These things can be gotten rid of by mechanical methods. This is the absolute best approach. They have no defense against it.

The freezing thing is good, but you absolutely have to stop the alcohol and fogging and any other bug killing chemical thingy that you're doing. These things make them angry and cause them to lay eggs that r born with a resistance to the chemicals. Please read my other posts. The mechanical way of killing them is the best way because they have absolutely no way of defending against it.

DON'T use anything that pisses them off. This means that, although the adults are dying off, the females are feeding b4 they die in order to lay enough eggs that will be immune to whatever you are using. Each female can lay 100 to 1000's of eggs and each egg can contain 100's to 1000's of newborns. Please read my posts. Mechanical methods of killling are more certain with no possibility of multiplication.
