Why are our Drs. In the US not educated in/on parasites?

I have seen their reactions of pushing you out of the office. Why do they say you are crazy but yet they are ignorant??? This is a problem!! Never show emotion while exactly paining our itching and crazy stuff falling off our body! Never say here want to see a picture!! I know what I have I know how I got it but can’t get a diagnosis?? If I have Exzema like Dermatologist say then why did my sister in laws dog have the same thing? Hell I need a Doctor that will listen and/ or study I have the information and I understand it yet hundreds of people suffer!! Lint, white bugs, chem trails LOL COME ON!! How about something a little outside the box but makes more sense than getting bit by a tick you never saw!! Help us Medical Field

Oh my God I thought I was the only one. Same thing, the family dog became ill and they kept insisting she was fine or she had allergies.  Then we became sick, my child and I, and trying to get help only landed me in counseling for depression and anxiety- because my our legs and stomach would hurt constantly.. then I suffered alopecia, I was told I did it to myself. As a woman who prided herself with silky full locks down to my waist I found it unbelievable that the best and ONLY answer any dermatologist had was self mutilation. What???? In the following year I had learned tons of people (mainly women probably due to women speaking more about their conditions) were all suffering from alopecia as well. I was able to gather clues along the way but it wasn't enough to tell any doctor without them treating one like a weak and crazy, anxious, quack. I had to gather my nerves, look under a microscope (an expensive legitimate microscope from med school I was attending before I became too ill) and found exactly that, peladora dermatitis,  I have the same story as you, and I live right outside of a city where I see nearly EVERYONE infected with just this. To the "trained" eye and ear it gets easier to spot. I believe its entirely environmental and due to ignorance from doctors everyone is suffering from a legitatamite parasitic infection that's becoming widespread - just disgusting and unacceptable. For a 1st world country it's near 3rd world behind the scenes. I did email a woman from John Hopkins researching Morgellon's Disease since they are ONLY looking at bacteria, while refusing to consider the reality of an actual parasite, I think mainly to avoid the delusional parasitosis label that Morgellon's Disease has been slapped with, but you cannot solve a mystery without considering all possible sources clues!!!!! Thousands of parasites exist already, and as the world witnessed with covid 19, it doesn't take long for something to mutate and infect rapidly, especially if we are going to be ignorant and dismiss the disease. I find it shameful how lazy and ignorant medical science is these days. She didn't want to hear it of course, the pitch about about a parasitic infection, so I simply sent a microscopic image of the peladora strongyloid after her dismissal, since then the dismissal didn't matter, as the truth is the truth is the truth even if it may sound unfamiliar or horrifying at first, it's on those who choose to ignore it. You aren't alone, and as terrible as it sounds, I'm so glad I am not alone.

Hello and welcome to the forum.  I'm sorry you are having an issue with a doctor that will work with you.  To my knowledge, doctors do research parasitic skin issues and if one has signs of it, will treat for it.  Here's a slide show of common ones. https://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/ss/slideshow-pictures-of-parasites.  However, for some, there is a diagnosis that is called 'delusional parasitosis   https://www.merckmanuals.com/home/skin-disorders/parasitic-skin-infections/delusional-parasitosis.  This type of issue falls under an anxiety disorder and involves unshakable, false belief that they are infested with insects, worms, mites, lice, fleas, or other organisms.  There is treatment available for that if determined that this is what someone suffers.  So, doctors should be able to determine if someone has a true parasite and if not, begin treating for a mental health issue.  Either way, a patient should receive treatment that will help their condition.  We wish you the best.

Thank you so much! Yes I am aware of these topics. I could only wish for delusional disorder lol! Our dog has a diagnosis and she passed last year. Our problem is vets will not diagnose humans! A rare disease called Peladora Dermatitis is what our dog had. Unfortunately not many have dealt with or diagnosed this. It all stems from round worm and here in Alabama ic you mention roundworm or really any parasite you are crazy. Most people with animals are stigmatized with some sort of parasite being their eggs are basically dust we inhale. If you read a good bit you would see this is a problem here in the US. In Guineva and other countries there are now vaccinations why with our technology do we suffer? Why are we so far ahead in most things but so far behind in this? It truly makes no sense to me??
