I've recently contracted an infestation of bugs that look like flakes of salt or pepper. they are barely visable at first but bite right away. They behave like fleas in the sense that they jump and pop between my finger nails when I kill them. In their adult stage they look like a cross between friut flies and mosquitos. I went to see several docors and dermatologists about this problem. One doctor told me it was scabies, another told me it might be fleas, although they refused to actually look at the bugs to be sure of what they were. One doctor told me to go home, take a bath, and hire someone to clean my house. She reccomended a phsyciatrist and proceeded to ask me if I was on drugs. None of the above are true in my case. I have found that cold baths seem to either kill or paralyze them. I clean the floors with a rag and cold water regularly. I also clean the counter tops the same way. air conditioning (the colder the better) seems to kill or paralyze them as well. I wash my clothes and bedding in cold water every day. The mattresses and furniture are wrapped in plastic and completely sealed in packing tape and I wipe them completely down with cold water everyday. This has been a nightmare for me. Its cost me a small fortune to buy natural and chemical remedies that don't work. I hardly sleep. I hardly eat and I spend the entirtey of my day hunting the bugs down. I've read on the net that applecider vinager may help. You mix 3/4 applecider vinigar with 1/4 water and spray everything down with it. I take about three cold baths a day. They only seem to like me. They multiply rapidly. On me they seem to prefer living under my fingernails, bottoms of my feet, in between my toes, in my genitals. They don't bite me in those places though. They like to bite me mostly on my arms and legs, cheeks and back. Prior to the cold baths, I used to feel them crawling in my ears, on my head and on my eyelashes, feet and genitals. Don't listen those negative responders. I've seen them and I know they are real.
good luck
This discussion is related to I definitely have some sort of bug/mite/flea infestation..
