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

Okay, here it is for u and everybody else to read. I certainly hope that u adhere to what I'm saying. I'm so sorry, I haven't been on for over a year but I'm here to tell u that I am 99.99% cured. Whatever ur using that is strong, STOP!. By this I mean using stuff like rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, neem oil, tea tree oil, exterminators, bifen IT, suspend, etc. etc. etc. Here's the rule of thumb. If it initially makes u feel better n then it feels like they're pissed off, then STOP using that stuff. I have posted this b4 but will do so again in hopes that u or anyone else will listen n at least try what I say works. On previous posts I have made the error of recommending things like crushing moth balls. Don't do that. My biggest n largest suggestion is that u n all else that read this buy a canning pot from some thrift store solely 4 the purpose of boiling clothes n towels. I no longer recommend boiling sheets as these things lay on top of ur mattresses as well. If at all possible, toss ur mattresses, comforters, sheets, etc. Buy a cheep blow up mattress n a cheap sleeping bag n toss them as soon as u feel them getting too infested n buy them again. If u boil, u will find that each time these things become less n infest less. I understand that people have their doubts and possibly an adversion 2 doing this cuz it associates this nastiness 2 our food but this absolutely does work. It's cheap n far easier than buying all kinds of crap that ultimately don't rid any of us from this crap. Please join me at bugedout by thugbugs on facebook. One u friend request me then pleas message me n I will lead u to a bunch of administrators 2 many various groups that will not be seen by any of ur friends. Most r under some type of Morgellons type settings. Don't let the word "Morgellon" disway u. We may not feel we have it but we do have may things in common and many of us r just bug sufferers.

Dear Sir or Madam:  I believe you have bird mites.  The doctor and dermatologist know nothing about this or how to treat it.   They are all over the house and you cant see them.  They will continue to reproduce.  To get some relief you have to use a scrub brush when you take a show.  Be sure to use a soft scrub on your grandson.  You also have to take bath and not show.  Soak in the bathtub twice a day with a flavor Epsom salt.  If they are getting in your hair use lice shampoo twice a day and allow it to stay in your hair for 10 minutes.  You must eep your head covered while in the house bcuz they will continue to get in your hair.  Keep you body covered while in the house.  Next you must go swimming in a pool with chlorine and stay in the water for at least  hours.  If you do what Im telling for a week you will see a difference.  This is only the beginning.  If want you more information email me at ***@****.  Make your title mention birdmite bcuz I don't open strange emails.  Read birdmites.org.

We live in Missouri. Every time we go to Ft Myers, which is often, we come back covered with bites............We have mosquitoes here but nothing like whatever is biting us in Florida. It happens to my husband and myself. anyone ever experience this. I'm talking hundreds of bites that itch like crazy.

anyone i have this too. i have been infested with some kind of bug in december. but i dont thinkit is a bug now. it is some kind of lint or dustin the air that i am affected to with others noticing bites or crawling (my dad gets bumps on his head. my dog has it bad. there is no cure. the guy that burned sulfur. great can i do that . no. i have 40 pounds of sulfur and cant get it lit. i have an ozone generator coming but just realized tonight is=ts the lint in the air im affected to. its wierd i will name my syptoms. get the bright flashlight and darkroom and you will see millions of dust flying robotically through the air. we are affected because we are sensitive, smart, critical thinking people with intuitive dna that the government is trying to rid the earth of before they have absoute control. how better than to make us miserable and seem crazy and give us some wierd disease that nobody can treat? it is geared towards dna and thought ability. think about it. this stuff is everywhere, yet we are the only ones going crazy by it. dont take psych meds. dont kill yourself. dont drink. dont smoke. alkaline diet and ivermectin help. no sugars, no carbs. but what is it in the air. i saw tonoight the lint and have noticed it before in my car. i am thinking of retiring to a beach and living outdoors in nature but cant think of a place to do it.  my dog and parents arent so affected, but im sure ill never go back to my house, or get in my car. so i must move, but im on diability and cant leave the country without forgoing my income. so i gues i will be a homeless man on a beach somewhere, but isnt that better than this? it is 3 a.m. and i have spent my night reading this thread and i fear the thought of trying to sleep here in my parents house. i have removed all the furniture from my house and havent been there in three months. i have used all my resources to no avail. think about it. have you seen a bug? does it add up to any other species of insect? no! this is a terror agent designed for your removal.  bug spray cedarcide, mite treatments wont work because this is not a mite. listen to me. save the time on conventional insect sprays, and try to find some joy before you kill yourself. **** it. im going out of the country to be homeless and a beach bum. the salt water and no place for them might be better. maybe i can make an income, but i know i need clean pure salt water and no house. maybe i can find something like that, and be cheaper for my parents because 20,000 dollars later and no better. i feel for them but they dont feel for me because they can not understand what im going through. even though they feel the bugs and know im not crazy, none of them have it as bad as me and i am going to die if i dont get some sleep. i am this name a g mail.
