Invisible biting bugs?

Me and my family have been getting bitten fir almost 5 months. We have been to docs specialist samples pest control and more no one knows what it is. We walked away from our home sold both cars and moved to Mexico in hopes to be treated. I have antibiotic shots daily ivermectin fasiclor naproxen ciproflixacino and permethrin cream. We did all lotion essential oils vinegar steamed the walls and floors. We keep items in Ziploc bags plastic tubs and garbage bags we have the cleanest place in the world. I am getting better but my husband is not and now my kids are starting. I am going to loose it if I don't get us help.we feel crawling and bites. A red spot with a dark center. W have been told lice scabies bed bugs fungus bird mites black flies bacterial worms ECT... And treated for them all. I don't know what to do our family thinks we are crazy because they can't see it. It's worst at night can't sleep getting PTSD. This has ruined our lives if you can call it that we are just surviving. I beg you for help.

I think I picked up these terrible things at a hotel in Baton Rouge, LA. Exterminators had nvr seen these in my area.

They're venomous, and bites need prompt treatment. “Brown recluse bites usually have a black, necrotic center, which spreads very quickly,” Schifman says. “They're also a lot more painful than your typical mosquito bites."  Try putting vinegar in a spray bottle and spray your entire body at night and lysol your entire house or use 99% alcohol to spray your entire house down.  Sheets, clothes, everything.

Look up "NO SEE UMNS" (not sure of spelling), they are invisible flying bugs, naked to the bare eye. They come out and live in drains. Come out and bite during the evening hours. I dealt with them. Most people haven't hear of them. But, believe me,  they're very real. I found a cure, pour a good bit baking soda down  ALL drains in your house,  including basement drains,  the pour  a good amount  of white vinegar down  All  drains,  let it set for at least 20 minutes,  finally  pour very hot or boiling water down  All drains. You will notice the biting and itching  will be gone. That's if you are being affected with  No see-ums. Hope this helps you. Be Blessed

I know this is an old post, but if any of you are still suffering from these horrible invisible bugs, I have a possibility. I kinda started noticing bites off & on, and lots of tickling, particularly at night. This went on for 5 months, before things escalated to an extreme. Drove me crazy b/c they are’t visible to the naked eye. I finally found a local pest control company thst investigated it. Found out it is mold mites. I am told they are easily treated with an exterminator. He used a poison that would be compatible with fleas & bed bugs (but not bed bug treatment). Only cost $75. Absolutely horrible experience though & I feel traumatized at bedtime as well. I believe I got these at a hotel in Baton Rouge, LA, as that was the first time I experienced symptoms. Exterminators said it was a very good possibility. Hope this helps someone ,and best of luck!!
