Gnats or Fruit flies following me

This may sound very unususal,and beleive me I wouldn't even mention it, if it hadn't become such an anomoly to me. For the past 3 months or so I have noticed that I have gnats flying around me at home. Just a couple,but they follow me from room to room, wherever I go. They also follow me to work,and I have them in my office too. Then when I go to another person's office, they follow me in there too. So essentially it's me they are after. There is no food or fruit anywhere,and I do not wear cologne. I have not done anything different from when they were not constantly around me. I am not sure why they are around me, but as you can see, it has become a problem.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you

I've had gnats living in my hair for 7 years....nightmare.  I tried everything to get rid of them.  I finally dissolve 1cup Epsom salt in 1 quart warm water and rinse my scalp after every shampoo.  Finally they're gone.... Can't live in the salt on my scalp.

ALL: the science is simple now based on very recent study.
The body can be sick for many years before this condition of morgellons is Revealed, and is open to opportunistic infections like flies, insects, bacteria, fungus, etc. the following is my opinion. I am not  doctor.

These were findings -
Last study done by dr. Middleveen dr. Sappi
More info at Charles e Holman foundation

1 - little to no micro flora on skin or gut leaves body open to attack - what many do - increase gut flora. Probiotics, cultured yogurt.

GMO food like Bt to in contains components of roundup(weed killer). I am betting why micro flora gone. Animals Nd pests avoid these crops becUze they see them as Infected. Non gmo and organic do not contain gmo.

2. Hylauronic acid gets acidic and sticky and leeches out of skin. May smell sweet, and skin may feel sticky. Can harden on skin. Attracts insects and other pathogens.

What many  do - daily baths in apple cider vinegar And salt like ocean. Coconut oil (lauric acid) helps break up fill. If noticed - wipe it off with paper towel or old credit card.

Warm baths increase core body temp like false fever which helps immunity

3. Glutamine has been found to be depleted in chronically ill people. It is needed for immunity to work. Can be our purchased at health food store in powder.

4. A spirochete wS found under skin and disrupts dermal layer. Keratin and melanin create fibers, but that is later stage of diseSe. Catch it first!
A doctor may be willing to prescribe antibiotics. There are online stores too.

5. Infection creates oxidation, and so anti oxident counter oxidtion. Oxidation causes inflamation, pain, arthritis, hair loss. Sht many take - vitamin E, Selenium, multi vitamin and multi mineral. This combintion is taken together

6. Increase lean muscle - weight lifting improves immune function
Some take testosterone or hgh. Should be taken with physicin guidnce and eating is imperative.

7. Never let blood sugar drop as this causes oxidation. Alph lipoic a is helps regulate blood sugar.

- So Why you might ask: This is all that life is. Good things happening, bad things happening, and what you learn about yourself when the bad things happen. How deep is your faith. How strong are you. What life lesson do you take away. If life, like I used to wish it be, was just perfect. Nothing ever bad would happen. all of his just 24 hour pleasure and fun-->But this is boring, and we would never grow. Growing is all that there is in life. There are no bad experiences, no bad things, only opportunities to overcome hardships and learn who the real you is.

-There is an evil inclination in all of us (devil, demon, etc). Makes sense too, flies are seen as a symbol of satan, demons, etc.. But don't worry, the evil inclination, satan, actually is an agent of G-D. He is the provoker, at the direction of G-D he tempts us--me with blasphemous OCD thoughts-- and gives us hardships--like Morgellons--to test our faith. Do we crumble and fall into hate and self-pity, or do we humble ourselves, ask G-D for help, and focus on how to make the lives of others better, rather than only focusing on ourselves. There is no such thing as evil or the devil (the way we know it in christian thought). There is only G-D. He is all there is and all that will ever be. We are apart of him and he is in us, we just have to seek him out. The idea, which I had for a long time, that some evil demon could possess me, cause me to become evil, and cause my soul to go to hell, and G-D would punish me for it as well, is irrational. To think that some other being, could actually rival G-D for control is just insulting to G-D. He created everything, he created satan as a tool to give us the opportunity to grow. See how we deal with temptation. Satan does this because it is his duty to serve G-D. In fact, he actually loves us, since he loves G-D, and he wants us to resist, he wants us to win, because he worships G-D too. He is necessary, since without the provoking agent, there would be now way for us to be tested, to grow, to become better than we are now. Life is so short, and you don't need to spend it angry, and hateful. These are the deception of satan. Anger, hate,and biggest of all FEAR. Fear nothing, since all is in the hands of G-D, enjoy the fleeting moments we have--even with the bugs (I kind of feel a little popular I have so many fans) and try to live in peace, with a pure and compassionate heart. Give to charity, think about the suffering of others, find yourselves. This is the greatest opportunity we have all ever had in our lives, to overcome something so out of this world, something that no one even believes we have, we will be people have truly faced their greatest fears and overcome it. There's something beautiful in that. And the best part is, G-D is there for you, and I know you think he's not there, but he is. What happens is that the farther you get away from him, each trick by satan you fall for, fearful thoughts, self-loathing, jealously--puts up more and more walls between you and him, which, after a certain point, becomes almost impossible to reverse. Yet, the key word is ALMOST, G-D has given us free will, to chose and we have that ability to chose as long as we're still breathing. No matter how far away you are, there is always an open path to him, a path of forgiveness, and all it takes is one step. The first step is the hardest, but just like it gets harder and harder the more steps you away from G-D, it gets easier with every step you take towards him.

Conclusion: Be thankful for the lives you have been given. I know it's hard, but look within yourself, deep down, and you know it's true. This is an amazing opportunity to overcome something few have, and become a better person for it. Don't give in to fear, it's a trick. Give in to love. Reach out to others,be selfless, do what you can to make the lives of others better (there's many people suffering in many different ways) and your life will be enriched more than help you give. Most importantly, LIVE. At the end of the day, they're just flies. Fiber flies, real flies, who cares. No one knows they come from you, no one is even 1% percent aware of it as you are. The average person just thinks, o another fly, if they even notice it. Plus, some of us have been living with it for years, some decades. It's not going to kill us right away, if ever. **** em. No one ever has to know, but you and G-D, and it's not like anyone would ever believe you anyway. Plus, we know that there is hope, stuff works, you just have to try, what else can we do. There's nothing else. Grow from it. I myself have decided to pursue my religion as much as I can. It feels right, I think this is why all this happened. I was never happy when anything good happened, I never appreciated it. Just fixated on the negative and obsessed with preventing it, scared about whether I could survive it. Now, i see things more for the blessings that they are, I feel the pain of others, when I used to only care about my own, and honestly, I've never felt more alive.  

Look up let go by Frou Frou and read the lyrics. Listen to Conan o Briens commencement speech to Dartmouth for a lot of smiles, and inspirational advice from the 16th min mark and on. G-d Bless you all!!!

Hey. I live in Pune, Maharashtra, India.
I read Morgellons on this forum and googled it. I dont think i exhibit any of the other symptoms, except that the flies and insects being attracted to me. I dont believe they live on my hair or something, as they surround me only when I am outdoors. I started experiencing this around 2 months back. At that time tiny little mosquitoes used to surround me. I temporarily solved that problem using Odomos(a mosquito repellant cream) and citronella Mosquito repellant patches. But then, now it is late summer here and it is the breeding time for fruit flies. There are tons of them everywhere. And wherever i go outdoors, they all come flying to me. I have noticed they surround a few friends of mine sometimes, but only when these friends are damn sweaty and havent had a a bath for a day (its very hot here people perspire like crazy). BUt me they surround all the time, even when i just have a shower and go out. But I have observed that they are more in number when I sweat a lot due to exertion. Also i suffer from hyperhydrosis(excessive sweatng). Maybe they are just attracted to my body odor, plus since the fact that  sweat a lot, they are attracted even more. I dont know what to do. if anybody else is experiencing similar symptoms as me, and has made any progress, please do revert.

Ran across this and what I have is not a delusional belief, I've been experiencing it for a few days a with fruit flies only and a couple of mosquito bites. I have been in Pune, Maharashtra, India for a month. I have been on cephlaxin for a few months to treat acne, and picked up a bad respiratory infection a few days ago for which I was prescribed a more powerful antibiotic - which is when this started. Caused by severe pollution and / or the sick cook we fired this week. Other people are swatting them on me, so it's not in my head. I eat plenty of spicy Indian food here (although reduced immediately after the respiratory infection started. The difference in diet between the average local person is I consume alcohol. Smirnoff vodka and tonic water. I do not like Smirnoff for the record, it is as low on the scale of alcohol as I am willing to pay the state taxes on. It really does seem to be "just me" that the fruit flies are attracted to. I'm pretty happy here despite irritation from pollution, heat and rickshaw / motorcycle horns. I shower 3 times a day because of the amount I perspire in the heat. Water consumption was near 7 liters a day for four weeks, and it has dropped to 4 liters a day with the drop in temperatures.
Herbs I'm taking to keep intestines cleaned are larger than normal amounts of triphala, liv52 and milk thistle to protect liver from alcohol use on the low protein diet, b-vitamin supplement in the morning. Only the new, more powerful antibiotic is new - and think the fruit flies started when the respiratory infection started, not necessarily with the anti-biotic use.
