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.

HBdadon:

It sounds like a whole lot of misery for you.

for the itchy skin, did you try QUELL lotion (over the counter item)--maybe scabies.
Or cortizone cream?

For the things crawling out your anus (maybe pinworms).  ask your doctor for a prescription for Vermox or Mebendazole(by Rx only).

In general, just google MORGELLONS SYNDROME or Morgellons disease and see if it fits you.  

I do not think you are imagining what you are feeling.  That is why I say Morgellons if you cannnot find any other answers.  Most doctors do not know of it.

Do you have a blacklight?  Have you tried looking at your skin with it?   if it is Morgellons you can see flourescent things under a blacklight.

Hope you feel better. Let us know

It’s not jock itch. It’s pubic lice. You can get it from trying on new clothes and/or having sex, infected bed linens and close contact with the infected person. You are not seeing things. Because pubic lice can burrow. Have you tried looking all this up online? It rilly helps. I read online that the pubic lice burrow under the skin to lay their eggs. But hey, if I was you I’d test it by trying the psychotrick. (Tell yourself, ok , if I see THIS then I’m psycho. If you see it within the next 24 hours, do it again. Don’t tell anyone anything, and don’t try to cut them out either, unless you want to die) try not eating meat, as they like it. Try lavender or otherwise herbal tea.
Smack them too. Tell them, mentaly they are not welcome here, in YOUR BODY it’s not theirs. Make it a hard to live in environment, DONT drink alcohol tho. They love alcohol.  Besides if you drink alcohol your human instinct will be overcome. If this is close contact bug, it will transfer if you have sex. DONT do that. Makes another life very bad. Anyways, you are NOT Crazy or anything. It is totally possible that these bugs are in you. Whatever you do , don’t go to a shrink. :)

Read this. I personally believe you have MD which is proven to be related to lyme disease. The parasites you feel in your skin are basically the cousins of the parasites found in lyme disease patients.

I read up on something about mold toxicity. I had black mold at the beginning of 2017 and got rid of it mostly. Covered that was with new wall after killing the mold with bleach spray and putting plastic over it for two days. I had gotten kind sick for two weeks before I found out the place I bought had black mold under a wall.  Anyway. I felt better after. No crawling skin for months but it started up again recently in December 2017.so I'm not sure if what is happening to you might be in relation. But someone blogged about tiny spores  making you litterly feel like bugs are all over you and in you scalp and hair. I have felt a crawling under my scalp but thought it was muscles moving weird under my skin or nerves moving or twitching to make that feeling. It feels like after exercise or doing things like blood or muscles are moving. It's like some invisible fingers are pressing on you skin and rubbing acrossed an area. Very weird. But look into the black me theory. It may be worth looking into. Blessings

here's an article that sounds similar to what people on here are discussing. I hope it helps someone.

You're not crazy. I'm so f****** sick of people accusing me of being on drugs or delusional, im in tears writing this I'm losing hair I have sores on my head and body from scratching out of frustration I feel so alone, I don't see the point in living. I'm only 19, this is tearing my life apart.

R u doing ok? I truly know exactly how you feel. I lost my job, friends, even family turned. I have been laughed at talked about, accused of taking heavy drugs, and always, always referred to PHYCHIATRIST! 1 Dr. seemed to be believing and wanting to get to what is going on. I have a toxic mold and from my research, I think I have mold mites and Fungus gnats or mold flies?

I lived on a small lake in a small town. We had extra torrential rains, flooding and winds in 2015 to Spring off 2016. Homeowners insurance turned us down. They didn't even bother to come take a look until 2016 when we had some more flooding and wind damage .. FEMA came out wanted me to take an inventory in the affected areas and I was so sick, my brother was too. My dad is to old to be lifting all the watered down, bug filled boxes (not wet by that time).

Still to this day, no help, no reply from our appeal  I/we now have nothing,... We left or tossed it, my dad kept items but I won't go there! I only buy stuff I don't have a problem throwing away.

I am so concerned about my dogs...THE VETS TJINK IM CRAZY AS WELL!

I have searched everywhere for HELP to get the house now remideated as this mold likes me... I have tested positive for Chaetomium mold. Very toxic. I have lived with the Fungus, stomach problems (ya know), gerd, seizures, can't breathe, can't cook, can't wear makeup. Shaved my head, can't wear my wigs... It has now been well over a year and a half. There have been days I have been so down I truly thought I would be better off dead. I am so lonely at times, I sleep more than not.   Who wants to get out of bed..  My brother and dad both have symptoms, but they are men and they let me look like a cRaZy person.  Dad was hospitalized not long ago (seizures and/or a TIA. I had the exact same diagnosis last December). My brother had 1/2 his thyroid removed and is now a bad as I am if not worse. I read this Chaetomium Fungus/mold can be fatal. Some days...

This is very hard. Now that Harvey has done damage, I don't think I have any chance at all. That's, I might be able to help them.

Although I have been very I'll, diagnosed with Nuerological damage, Gastrological damage, heart problems, lung problems and man allergies are crazy. My mouth,nose, face,ears, throat, toes, eyes, scalp it all itches, my eyes water and I can feel something... don't say "bugs".  ....mites, mold whatever, it's there...

My prayers are with you. keep an update. I will try to get on here but I may not remember.

Is there any possibility you were exposed to toxic mold several months prior to the start of this problem? I know now that I brought this with me.... People say this and that but I have a lot of photos and videos that prove something is alive! This is just not right. The year 2017...

EPA Dallas... They don't take anything but Medicare. They are awesome. This Dr. KNOWS HIS STUFF and put me on a individualized care plan. Testing is extensive. I learned everything I know on my own. Maybe just to prove I am not cRaZy, on drugs or anything else but this will kill me one way or the other because I have had enough. I have felt so violated, tormented some days I feel tortured. I love God, He has my attention . Hopefully I can find a way to get my home fixed, REMEDIATED (it also tested positive for the Chaetomium). Some days I feel like I am not going to make it.  You have to wonder.

Good luck. Prayers CDC, EPA, HHS, surviving toxic Mold websites all good)

Hello, pjanna58, I am so sorry that you are going through this- I am praying for you. Have you heard of biocide laboratory? They have mold bombs that will kill three mold you spoke of. They worked very well in my home, and hear  only good things about them. They even have a remediation kits that are very affordable. Did the doctors prescription you antifungal meds? Also, natural Kleen green is o only 20$ on Amazon, it makes. 16 gallons to spray u your home. Or, I also use Mean Green Antibacterial formula, which had same active ingredients as BenzaRid- which is the industrial Antifungal that is used in hospital, schools, etc. It's 98¢ at Walmart. Wash everything in your home in sun detergent with oxyclean-, Borax and either chlorox or ammonia. Lysol one bomb you're car, cuz no doubt you've carried spores there, as well. To get over FUNGUS infection in body, you must take antifungal meds, change your diet and thoroughly clean and disinfect your environment- including car and pets, or you will always be reinfected. Every person in your home must do this as well. It can be done, just very hard. (** I went through all of this... Still trying to get it out of my home....) Prayers and love to you...
