Invisible biting insects ( invisible with the naked eye)

[washjo]

I have had a problem that has been going on for the past 3 years.  The problem is that I have been plagued by this invisible biting bug.  I have had my house examined by the pest control folks, seen a Dermatologist, Allergist, phycologist and a neurologist with no success in determining what have is biting me.

The crawling and biting occurs is over my entire body, seemingly liking my croach area.  It seems to get worst when I consume anything containing sweats.  This condition is so bad that I have considered burning my house down and commiting suiside.

Can someone please help!!!!

Hello,
Parasthesia is one possibility which can present with such symptoms. Parasthesias are common in alcoholics and metabolic disorders like diabetes, hypothyroidism, and hypoparathyroidism. They can also be due to peripheral vascular disease, vitamin B12 deficiency or malnutrition.

Get your blood sugar and thyroid hormones levels evaluated. You can take some vit B12 for some days and see if the tingling is gone or not.

In case the symptoms persist then please consult a neurologist as it can be due to some neurological disorder. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
