They are springtails and the medical community says it is delusional, even drug tested me, was negative, so for two years I've been going insane. Apple cider vinegar helps. Wash hair with it. Also this is going to sound crazy, dog shampoo, wash hair with that one a week and put fungicide on scalp you will get rid of them but not to say they won't come back. . They are feeding on fugus of your scalp and I believe they lay eggs in scalp. Dr's think I'm insane so I don't tell them anymore and took matters into my own hands. Now Dr's think I'm sane but I know they are of epidemic proportions as many people are getting the same thing and eventually the medical community will have to listen. Hope this helps it did for me
Springtails can and will get into any part of your body that is moist. Hair when it’s wet. The only solution is to have your place fumigated for springtails by pest control. Pest control will look at you funny, check your bed for bed bugs etc. Tell them to put the sticky pads down everywhere you feel them. Then have pest control look at them under a microscope. I am on my second round with the same pest control company and they are pulling the same crap about it being in my mind. Today they are putting the sticky traps down again, because again they don’t believe me. Stay on them, because no one should have to live this way!!!
Bless you. So often sufferers of seldom-reported parasitical type afflictions are merely told their complaint is one seldom reported. This disregard for suffering compounds the problem, until it grows to the point where outrage outweighs shame in great enough numbers to register.
Report your suffering to your MD, folks, and MDs might report them to each other. Meanwhile: our forebears had tools for these things in their material culture, forgotten in the era of effective but dangerous pesticides. Now that we've abandoned toxins and embraced whole grains, etc., we've got to develop some new modes of dealing with re-emergent pests. I wish us all luck, and oils and scrapers and combs and fine milled diatomaceous earths. ;D
Hello,
There have been reported cases in which springtails have been found in human hair. Wash the Clothing, bedding, and towels in hot water and dry them in sun after machine drying them. Topical permethrin or Lindane cream may be needed which are available by prescription only.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
