scabies? Or black mold?

So, me and my children have been suffering from what a Nemours DuPont Doctor diagnosed as scabies. It took a year to finally get a diagnosis after multiple doctors and pediatricians were practically telling me I was delusional.

My concern is I all of sudden suffer from acute renal kidney failure and cardiomyopathy of my heart. My edema is like no other. I don’t respond to lasiks. I have to be hospitalized and put on buromax (sorry for the misspelling). Now, I have lost all my hair due to it becoming dry, brittle and crimped. Some parts are way darker than others. These things are living in my scalp, nose, forehead, eyebrows, breasts, shoulder blades, belly button, vagina, legs and my feet are crusted. Ive lost so much weight also.

I’m just really concerned for my children. Their lymph nodes are so swollen. Been having reoccurring fevers. Complain of stomach pains and their appetites are through the roof.

Then not to mention we have a sever black mold problem consisting of stachybotrys,   Chaetomium, aspergillosis, and Pithomyces. I have an environmental hygentists report as proof.

Can anyone please give me some advice. These “things” are everywhere in my house. Ruining our clothes and belongings. Our health. Everything. Oh and I forgot to mention the dead rat I found under our fridge in December. It was gray and decomposed when I found it. Needless to say, I threw the fridge out. I truly believe we have been contaminated by black mold, rat mites, scabies and bird mites. What will kill all of them?  Many thanks in advance.

I have a friend that was living in a home with horrible mold. She had to be hospitalized and could have died. She threw away most of her belongings/ furniture I believe and LEFT. I hope things can get better for you soon.

So scary what a mold problem can do!
That’s about where we are now. The crazy thing is that my husband started having seizures, had a hip replacement from necrosis and needs his gallbladder out. I truly think th this is all related to the mold. Not to mention all of our fatigue. I’m so worried about our kids.
Keep us updated on how you and your kids are doing!

If you have a black mold issue that severe, it's important to get a profession in there for clean up- are you able to give someone a call to give you an estimate on the clean up?  There may be moisture coming in from areas that will just cause the mold to reappear if you don't get each issue addressed.  For the pests, I'd similarly get a professional to come and take a look at the place to see what can be done- since the problem seems so bad, it's time to call in for help and not lean on home remedies.

Remediation is to the tune of $35,000.00. I’ve been working with an exterminator for a year now as well. Maybe it’s time to just get out of our home. It seems that no matter what I do, there is no relief.   We just can’t afford $35,000 for no guarantee. Thank you again for your advice.
Definitely sounds like it's time to get out if you can!  Good luck and feel better soon!
