Mysterious bug under my skin, crawling on my scalp

[HBdadon]

This is my first post, I've been reading this forum for about a month now, reading about evetything from how to cure scabies to mites.

I'm 27 years old, live in Dallas Texas and here is my story...

First, we've always had a fly problem at every house we go to. You know, the little fruit fly looking things. However, we're not big fruit eaters and don't have any out. They seem to love the trash and the sink (different fly?).

Up to 6 months ago I felt like a bug was crawling on me when I sat on my couch and bed (different apartment), our first assumption was bed bugs and we treated the house (using bombs) for these, the crawling feeling slowed but never fully stopped.

We recently moved (2 months ago) and I felt the same thing on the couch and bed, even worse actually. So much so that we had to throw the couch out. The couch had a mattress in it, it ended up staying out back for a little while until one day I looked out there and it had little black bugs crawling all over it. During this time it seemed I ws being attacked at night by whatever this is, constant crawling all over my head. I usually stay up late to work (upwards of 5AM sometimes) and the entire time this crawling is going on. When I get in the bed it's even worse.

Now here we are at present day. Three days ago I started feeling like whatever this was is now in my skin (I'm certain of it), It's under the skin on my face, my scalp, my back, my toes, and my feet. I can feel it crawling in and out of my anus at times also.

Went to the dermatoligist today and of couse he says it's my imagination, some people get it. He's subscribed me some DEXEPIN for depression. :(  Funny thing is I'm not depressed, my life was quite good until this bug showed up.

I can feel them crawling under my skin, they hang out in my ear (not sure if under the skin or just in the canal) all day, it's gross. No one in the house (my wife and 3 kids) can feel them. My wife has bites all up and down her legs and even a protruded ring looking this on her forearm.

As you might have imagined I'm loosing my mind and life, nothing is the same. And now that the doctor says it's my imagination I cant even get my mom or wide (even though she has a lot of bites) to believe what I'm feeling is real. This makes everything 99.9% harder.

At first I thought it was bird mites (lots of trees around our apartment), then I thought scabies (becuase I can see tracks under my skin), and now I'm thinking it's some kind of fly. There are flys everwhere in this apartment. The disposal was broken when we moved in and it had  flies coming out, they are still around even today (and it's broken again). The bathroom has the flies, in fact, there are several dead in the tub.

I spray the tub down with bleach/water after getting out and noticed when I spray the faucet part some of it turns black (black mold?).

Could this be a bot fly? What do I need to do to get rid of it. Now that the dermatologist was no hope (second doc I've seen, first gave me Pemethrin which did not work) I was thinking of ordering some Stromectol / Ivermectin and Green Kleen Green online.

Recently I had jock itch for the first time in my life, had been taking Gris Peg (Griseofulvin) when this all started to intensify. Please if anyone has been through anything like this offer your sound advice.

Hi, Okay guys this is what i got. I laid on a couch working home care and something began to crawl in my hair and by morning i was really crawly. I bought lice treatment and shampooed. Kept crawling. I bought some more and let it be on entire body. Nothing. I bought deep woods off. relief for eight hours and right back as strong. Day two: washed everything I wore. Put it back on. Crawly again. Someone told me I had to bag everything for three days at least and then rewash in hot water. Day three: Used things from the health food store. Nothing. $230.00 later and on day 4: I began to find aritcles or forums that said bleach. Use bleach. Make it like a swimming pool in the tub and stay in there for awhile. Dont worry about your hair because you dont in a swimming pool. Rinse off when done and then spray bleach water on you with a spray bottle. let air dry. BLeach everything in the house. Walk around with a bleach spritzer and a bucket and wash cloth and touch everything with your rag. Wash clothes in it. BUy bleach and color safe bleach is you are worried about some things then use that there. Keep your spritzer with you and spray yourself and let air dry. spray and bathe. create a swimming pool atmosphere. The funny thing is these forums dissapear after they get typed for some reason from the sights I found them on. I put a quarter cup into bath and am ready to make it a little stronger. I'm just sitting here spraying myself when I feel anything. wrap yourself in a sheet and change it as much as you want to. Beat this thing people. Then borax in the laundry isle is what my grandma spread in the edges of rooms for any bugs at all. She always said borax for bugs. piles of it. be careful around animals. I think i will put it under couch and chairs and beds and dressers. vacuum and reapply every now and then .... BLeach your clothes and tie them in bags and leave in laundry room or basement for three days they say. You can beat this thing. GO>

U know I was thinking about that site(naturalgenisis) and it's great that they do have an accurate description etc... but, they only want 2 sell their crappy product so, it's really NO HELP, if it doesn't work or you can't afford it...I have spent a fortune trying to get these things gone, I have tried their products tho...didn't work any better than pouring peroxide or vinegar on your skin!!! Waste of money!!! It just bugs me bc, they only want money from people who are suffering from parasites and that's WRONG! Anyways, I use seasalt mixed into a sulfur cleanser...Shampoo I add treetea oil, peoxide works the best, but it has been HORRIBLE to my hair...it lightens and just plains ruins it! I do usually rinse hair w/ apple cider vinegar...works pretty good and smell fades quickly. Baths I soak more in, I usually add seasalt,borax,peroxide,baking soda,bleach,you name it and I have tried it! seasalt and baking soda do work! I got a tip to try 2 soak in laundry soap(Arm&Hammer) does work to get these things under control...for most part! In laundry, bleach/borax/ammonia works the best! I think Long dryer cycles is what kills them, not hot water...although, I do let wash SOAK atleast couple hours-overnight! What do you use?? What works for you? I froze my bed over winter bc it was worst in the bed! I brought it in and laid on it within 5mins I swear crawling&covered w/these things again&again! Wth cud survive a deep freeze for 3+months in freaken WI???? NOT MUCH THAT I KNOW OF??? I really think these things are related to mold/fungus spores or sum mite that eats/attracted to that??? Does anyone think mold/fungus cud even survive that? Even scabies, dies in freezing weather!! Just wish this situation wud b over & my son&I cud go back to a "normal" life!!! He is way too lil' 2 b going thru this. He's getting used to being crawled on...I hate that I cannot take it away for him!!! Take Care,  Jen

When all this happen they claim everything  pre 2010 was  morgellon. In the video you can see have bad the doctor act. The sec doctor talks to vets and he say that 1 am  and 4 am the bugs move.  
Morgellon today is sore is a something that don't move where what I have is a parasite that crawly-jumps and bites.

I was told mine ears drum are prefect so anything that get it will have a hard time to get out. Anytime they hatch mine head feel the a ball on a stick. I  been doing the food spice for a 60 days and the liqiud smoke for 2 weeks. They are getting small but I have a lot of them  in the middle ears. Brain frog is slowly going away and can feel the body what to change.

The person that posted that youtube did have have a web site but for some reason it went away. If I remenber right they lived up by you.
It was some what good info. They said to take of your self first before the house.
There was other person that was lived up by you and moved to AZ. He say to keep the house clean and have nothing on the floor. Buy plastic boxs to put you clean washing in.
I can't find his video.





If you start going to doctor is to print out the stuff below.


Print out the pdf and please note where the lab work was done at.

Hi, I tried to access youTube to look@that info and there's morgellons by the dozen but, I cannot find the one you are talking about!

[crash222]

To make a long story short. 24 doctors call me crazy and on drug so I stop looking. I have a mites living in the middle ears. I have a picture of mites  that show them  smaller then the letter on a penny. So no doctor ear scoop or a MRI will not see them. In school they say if the crawly and hair move it is in your mind.

I am use no medication do to it will just cover up the program and need to feel to make sure it not in the mind. I do use a can of beer or Benadryl as a sugar pill sometime only. Hot chocolate or chocolate bars too  is very good. Many showers not bath. It take to long for drown them. I am using food spices and liquid smoke to drive them out of the ears. I can feel them crawl through the ear drum. When the ear drum pop I can feel them pour out of the ear like I won a slot machine.   I am talking small and still feel them. The Indians and pioneer use to wet straw to smoke out the mites of homes. If had access to a smoke hut  where they smoke food,I would be sleeping in it. The peroxide ear cleaning don't kill them and don't last. So I am hoping the smoke will help.  We all have lungs that make co2. I am wearing a shirt that smell like hickory smoke so when I breath in  and they smell co2 and hickory smoke. Keep them out of the month I hope too. Pull up the eyes lids to feel them drop out.  I can deal with the eyes but the ears is where the brain frog come from for me.


I was thinking of fleas and not on the body when this happen

For the house if I can do over. I over kill the house with poison and had to trash everything. No carpet all wood floor for now on. The problem is the wash machine is in side the house so it made it worst. Also the washer and dry machine is the new type that use less water and heat.   If I had to do everything over is to buy 110v air fresher and place in every wall plug not to get me sick. Even by plants that smell. I know that they hate smell and the poison that is used come from plants anyway. Also buy a mattress cover to cover the mattress. Maybe pour baby powder or something that smell before sealing the mattress up. Remember the they breath and will not like it.

When I get back home, I sleep with a cheap quilt and will be soaking it in a tub on water/liquid smoke. This will help them in case of them start back up.



Here is some more info to help with doctors. Some doctors do school in tropical medication but when use the doctors book or hosp book you will NOT see it.  You will how to look at the doc profile to see they did schooling or even better a doctor with out boarders. A doctor that travel the world or a doctor that care more for you then his golf game.  I did had one 15 years ago but he would not stop smoking. I did  find a inter doctor that she was from India and look like she would do something  but when I went back she was gone.

The sec thing will you will do a web search for a 31 Saudi man with mite in ears or A HUMAN CASE OF OTOACARIASIS INVOLVING A HISTIOSTOMATID MITE (ACARI: HISTIOSTOMATIDAE).
This is a medical write up of mites that get in ears. Plus print up anything that you can see on the net about the crawl thing. In NY 2008 a lady call 911 got help, do to in I am in So Calif it will never happen. Print and yellow mark the wording this give the the doctor a idea and not brand you crazy. Also type up  a  daly plan of what you are feeling.




Robert A Lopez a vet of pet places cats mites and wins Noble prize. So got talk to a vet. Look over sea for info. In NZ a chicken farm drop a feed pan on his head to get mites in his ears. They use head lice poison to wash the ears out. From Australia CDC they do talk about mites but when it come to the US it say nothing.

I have lost 3 year of them life and it maybe turn around. I do feel a lot better and I am DREAMING when sleeping. Until  get rid of the mites nest I will not have a life.


I hope this help a little do to the info just started to be put on the web more.

Hi I'm Ruth. I have almost exactly the same sensation as you do.. crawling on my face, my head, my arms, my legs. it takes a toll on my sleep that's why I'm desperate about it. Just had this feeling for the past 2 weeks and I had just been with the dermatologist to check. She's telling me its allergies..
As of now, since she has prescribed me some medicine and cream I'm gonna try it out. I'll let you know if it worked..
Please let me know of your developments too.. Glad to know someone knows how i feel...
