My eyebrows and lashes suddenly disappeared.. after sleepless nights from itching I realized beetles were feeding.  Can't see them at all, but feel them usually at night.

Hello I'm dealing with the same thing it's carpet beetles read my comment I created a account itchy_dave

been dealing with the same thing for a long time. I believe there carpet beetles. When there in the larvae stage they eat your hair follicles. I've tried to seek treatment multiple times including today because there also in my cat. Everytime I tell people because I'm a large muscler male they tell me it's scabies which it's not because I haven't gone around anyone because I too have had to shave my head and Beard.  I've been dealing with this for close to fire years because I brought my dog to a person's house who had a horrible infestation. I noticed that my hair was matted together like I washed it with grease. When I tried to comb it to get the tangles out it ended up ripping a large part of my hair out. It also stained my hand and the rim of the sink a brownish color. When you kill them they start to wiggle and it causes a severe allergic reaction that causes my eyes to swell and I have trouble breathing plus welts. After I shaved my head a got in the shower I felt all of these tiny specs on me that felt like sand but they don't come off unless you use your finger nail to remove them. When I first got them I thought it was lice. So I used lice treatment on my entire body and after words I was covered in these tiny black spots no lice at all. These carpet beetles in the larvae stage are like tiny hairs that stick to everything. They eat anything organic, so hair, carpet, clothes, cereal, spices, dead skin cells extra. Look for little holes in your clothing like the fabric is thingy they be primary in the arm pit area and around the seems. If I rub my eye lids long enough little tiny white/ translucent oval shaped things well come out there the eggs. They also shed there skin which I can't really describe I just noticed them today. At some point they grow wings and spread around your home. I keep thinking I've gotten rid of them and go back to normal cleaning habits and they return. I've been single the entire time because I know you can pass them to others. I originally went to my mother for help because at night I really thought I was going to stop breathing. So that where I did the lice treatment. She didn't believe me so she didn't clean and thought I was crazy. She eventually was at her sister house and died her hair and same thing she had a ton of little tiny black specks on her. The reason you can't seem them until you kill them is the specks are there poop and it is the color of what they have been eating. The larvae stage seems to be clear until you kill it. The larvae also sometimes looks like you have glitter on you on you but only in certain lights. Sorry if I'm rambling. There carpet beetles. You have to treat your entire house, use lice treatment on your entire body multiple times vacuum your entire house at least twice per day, clean every square inch of your home with bleach, use tea tree oil, Neem oil and vinegar every where to repel them be aware that they can remain dormant for up to 3 f-en years. So plan on cleaning a lot there actually a book called the life changing effect of a carpet beetles infestation. I've never read it and it's not a how to guide either. When you worn people about this they will think you're crazy. I literally feel like I'm mosis worning people about a flood and they don't want to head my worning. If you have the money or credit pay a professional who will garentie to eradicate them. Throw out anything with holes in it or anything that makes you itchy. Wash your close in almost boiling water at let it sit for 30 minute, anything that you don't use regularly put in air thight plastic bags or Tupperware and leave it for a few months. Things like wooly plankets should be thrown away. Steam clean everything too big to wash or just throw it out and file a homeowner claim. If you tell the exterminator there on you they'll tell you the can't or don't do that, the doctors will think you are crazy and ask if you're on drugs. At this point I'm not sure I'm ever going to get rid of them there's probably trillion of them in my house. I rent and it's carpeted. They get on the cat then he rubs on me and they stick to me. This probably the worst thing that I've ever dealt with, my family no longer talks to me and I'm a disabled veteran every time I tell a health care professionals they say it's scabies I haven't even allowed anyone in my house or been in anyone's in over 4 years let alone slept with anyone this ***** like the plague they caused my dog to go blind. IDK hope this helps

Hi I know it’s been a few years but have you eradicated this? I’m suffering from this for a year now and I’ve resorted to taking all of my scalp hair off my eyebrows don’t grow anymore except for a few random black dots my partner back neck is so infected drs specialist etc all just miff us off saying it’s either follictilitis? Or alopecia? We both have exhausted antibiotics anti fungal meds steroids extremely painful and expensive skin surgeries and treatments and nothing is helping I feel like it’s killing us both please help.
