Mysterious bug under my skin, crawling on my scalp

This is my first post, I've been reading this forum for about a month now, reading about evetything from how to cure scabies to mites.

I'm 27 years old, live in Dallas Texas and here is my story...

First, we've always had a fly problem at every house we go to. You know, the little fruit fly looking things. However, we're not big fruit eaters and don't have any out. They seem to love the trash and the sink (different fly?).

Up to 6 months ago I felt like a bug was crawling on me when I sat on my couch and bed (different apartment), our first assumption was bed bugs and we treated the house (using bombs) for these, the crawling feeling slowed but never fully stopped.

We recently moved (2 months ago) and I felt the same thing on the couch and bed, even worse actually. So much so that we had to throw the couch out. The couch had a mattress in it, it ended up staying out back for a little while until one day I looked out there and it had little black bugs crawling all over it. During this time it seemed I ws being attacked at night by whatever this is, constant crawling all over my head. I usually stay up late to work (upwards of 5AM sometimes) and the entire time this crawling is going on. When I get in the bed it's even worse.

Now here we are at present day. Three days ago I started feeling like whatever this was is now in my skin (I'm certain of it), It's under the skin on my face, my scalp, my back, my toes, and my feet. I can feel it crawling in and out of my anus at times also.

Went to the dermatoligist today and of couse he says it's my imagination, some people get it. He's subscribed me some DEXEPIN for depression. :(  Funny thing is I'm not depressed, my life was quite good until this bug showed up.

I can feel them crawling under my skin, they hang out in my ear (not sure if under the skin or just in the canal) all day, it's gross. No one in the house (my wife and 3 kids) can feel them. My wife has bites all up and down her legs and even a protruded ring looking this on her forearm.

As you might have imagined I'm loosing my mind and life, nothing is the same. And now that the doctor says it's my imagination I cant even get my mom or wide (even though she has a lot of bites) to believe what I'm feeling is real. This makes everything 99.9% harder.

At first I thought it was bird mites (lots of trees around our apartment), then I thought scabies (becuase I can see tracks under my skin), and now I'm thinking it's some kind of fly. There are flys everwhere in this apartment. The disposal was broken when we moved in and it had  flies coming out, they are still around even today (and it's broken again). The bathroom has the flies, in fact, there are several dead in the tub.

I spray the tub down with bleach/water after getting out and noticed when I spray the faucet part some of it turns black (black mold?).

Could this be a bot fly? What do I need to do to get rid of it. Now that the dermatologist was no hope (second doc I've seen, first gave me Pemethrin which did not work) I was thinking of ordering some Stromectol / Ivermectin and Green Kleen Green online.

Recently I had jock itch for the first time in my life, had been taking Gris Peg (Griseofulvin) when this all started to intensify. Please if anyone has been through anything like this offer your sound advice.

Hey guys,

Just saw this yesterday.   Morgellonscure.com

You will want to look at this.  It is from an 8 year sufferer, he has finally cured himself and shows you how to do also. I'm very impressed and plan to start this week.

Your frustration is well taken and understood by anyone that has this "condition". It really is amazing that the doctors think we are crazy, I stopped with them after 3 visits because I read others online getting nowhere, waste of my time and money.

Soon they will learn, just because you can't see it does not mean it's not there. I know for a fact cases of this are building up, emergency room doctors have no doubt seen multiple patients come in and complain of crawling sensations and lesions.

Like every time I post here I want to update everyone on what I'm trying this month. Right now it's "ParaGone", just started two days ago in fact. Before that I did a cleanse by the same company "First Clense" I think it was, that lasted for 2 weeks. I've committed myself to beating this. Of course I've said all along this is a fungus that attracts the parasite/insect/mite to us, I believe they are around us all the time, it's when we get this fungus that we become attractive to them, I'm willing to bet my life that I'm right, Point is, I don't expect anything that get's rid of parasites to cure me, the fungus must be attacked aggressively, and that is next on my list .. "Candida Rid" and then whatever other type of natural fungus fighters I can find.

However, there is one simple truth to all this.....

UNLESS one of us finds a way to beat this,
ALL of us will need to show we are angry.

If I know one thing about America, nothing get's done until the people get angry. We need a rally, we need something to show the human faces of thousands of sufferers, I'm seriously considering a web site to get this organized. Time is up, we either act or get acted on, or should I say crawled on.

Those that know the truth you have been warned, the people are about to organize!  Check your history books if you don't think there is any power in the people. Or, just check the recent Arab Spring taking place in nation after nation like clock work.

Clock work. Thanks for your kind words also, I too am glad I started this thread, but I was just freaking out at the time. I honestly can't believe that I can sit here with them crawling on me and handle it, I HATE BUGS, my strength is a credit to my faith however.

Hi everybody,
I have some news for you all! As you all know me as Jenma, and I have posted on this forum for over a year now...Anyways, I made a promise to myself and my 6year old son, that I WOULD figure out, what the hell this creepy, crawling, bites,rashes...etc...is?? Well, we tested positive for a HOOKWORM INFECTION! It's in our skin AND bodies! They are the only worm that has SHARP TEETH! I wanted to let you all know...if you have our symptoms...to get treatment bc it's been PURE HELL!!! It started 4/2010...with larger round red marks...bites happened instantly...sharp almost like stings...nighttime was horrid! Bites were nonstop! From 9pm-8am...then creepy crawling on/in skin started! In begginning, it was nonstop, even during daytime some days...until we started soaking in chemicals and scrubbing our skin! It has gotten ALOT better last couple months...I could go up to a month without ALOT of symptoms...then they would start crawling and our skin has lil black dots and white dots popping outta it...heat makes it ALOT WORSE! When they do come outta skin now (to crawl around) it's anus,genitals,ears,eyebrows,mouth,nose, anywhere skin is! Larve, look like dry skin but, the lil white dots, actually unroll to a tiny white(almost skin color) worm! It gets worse @nightime! Last couple of months, we have has Pneumonia,ear and sinus infections, and horrible red rashes(that actually burn) crawling and bites( that are tiny lil red marks) and sometimes clear lil bumps! I guess, when infections get bad enough, it means that they are infecting organs...we have had alot of vomiting and stomach pain! One more thing, worm larve usually enters body through walking barefoot, esp. in sand! I have lil bump on each foot on back bottom of heel...know I have read alota forums, with others having same symptoms so? I hope this helps someone else! Hope to god, this bs goes away soon! Was told that reinfestation is usually high bc they can survive outside body for up 2 two months...GROSS!! Any questions let me know...I will be posting updates on how we are doing...Jenma

Hello everybody. dealing with some kind of skin parasite... Has anyone seen the post about a clothing parasite... that's coming into US from overseas somewhere?? Google... little white biting bugs... it'll come up... stating a person with these will see 3 different types of white insects(not mites or fleas,but bugs...) These things will go into the 1st layer of skin... reproducing on/in human skin... This is EXACTLY what we have... It resembles Morgellons BUT, is not Morgellons... Alot of people on here, are describing the different stages/types if this insect... I have tried to find out more about this, BUT not alot is known,YET! I was just wondering, if anyone knows anything about these "bugs"? The adults are tiny white kinda looks like the tiniest moth, yet it bites! They are attracted to light...just like moths are... I have read that wherever this cotton fields are, they made this manmade bug(combo of lice,scabies,fly,moth,etc.etc) to kill all other bugs, that eat the cotton, out of the cotton fields...If you do have this bug(all other bugs in your home will eat this bug and they will die..) We have flooding and mold, here in WI and usually have the usual, spiders,centipedes,etc... Since,we have had this bug(all other bugs, I find dead) We go outside and are followed around by flies,etc...ANY bug and they eat this bug and die INSTANTLY!! Now, for example, my bed was where this all started...So-My bed was frozen ALL WINTER, now that's gotten alot warmer@times, you would think that being frozen would have killed these things, but, NO WAY
as soon as it thaws out, they are right back (even worse)!!! I believe, we contracted this from a brand new comforter...which of course, I didn't wash and just put it right on my bed! There are ALOT of complaints about OLD NAVY stores, just happens to be where I bought alot of clothes from last year for spring and summer...Please let me know if anyone has seen this post or? anything about this bug...We have had it over a year now, we get rid of it for up to a month, then I believe the eggs just brings it right back again! It does resemble somewhat of a flea... Flea spray/bombing does help with the adults that fly and hop, BUT not smaller one's that crawl or the babies! I have seen them go right into your pores and disappear... Has anyone else have this exact problem... It's a tiny white dot, a black dot, cresent shape (it's almost like a tiny worm)...that can straighten out to go straight into a pore anywhere(face,hair,ears,etc...even try to hide into my eyes)...it curls up into a ball to crawl... They are whitish or almost skin colored... they are very hard to notice...it took me months to figure it out, because when you get bitten all you will see is a black speck or a tiny white dot(which just looks like severly dry skin...in your hair will just look like dandruff) after examination IS NOT DRY SKIN/DANDRUFF@ALL!!! It flys when it gets older but, smaller one's crawl all over! It will move and kindof flop up when touched(if you can grab it BEFORE it gets into a pore or hair follicle)... some of these you can see hanging out of a pore and most of the time these will not even come out when grabbed with a tweezers...If you do manage to get one-you will see it moving from a tiny white worm that curls up into a cresent shape and eventualy tiny ball(dot) that slowly crawls along...then back into a pore etc...please let me know if you do have this or have any info on this mysterious new bug!!! Thanks, Jen

Hello Jen:  Your post is 6 years ago, so I am hoping that you have found a way to get rid of these devils!  It is 2017, I have had this going on for months.  Never see the white flying bug, but the rest of your symptoms are the same, black specks and white specks with little white worms that come out of pores, I have found them attached to my eye lid or lips when I wake up in the morning.  I now have them in my hair and eyes.  I don't know which stage it is, but when it burrows in my skin, it makes a bump.  
I think you are right about the clothes, I see the black specks in all new clothes that have cotton in them.  They also eat holes in your cotton clothes.

I will be looking forward to hearing your story, hopefully it has a happy ending.  
Blessings,
Deborah

Again, he is not buying it.  We put a big white paper(for kids to draw/paint) in my room for a while.  Added a buzzlight(violet or blacklighted) and with his hi tek beam i swear we could see alot of **** in the air.
They always go, with the story that there are alot of particles on the air.  I know that, But i could see the difference from a fabric, dust or particle just floating really slow, and alot of ?¿?¿? flyign real fast, passing by.
He has his doubt, like giving it a possibility, but he always ends the conversation with:  It can be your paranoia, durt, dust and that alot of things used in household cleanings, that gives u this sensation.  To be really straight, he doesnt know what we are dealing with, because were dealing with something hes never dealt with, and much more if we cannot see them .( in alot of Blogs they call them like that "no see ums" or mistery bugs.
Also he afirmes that if there is something here, that it wont harm me, jejejejjjje...
It may not kill u, but may drive u into insanity or worse.

The white stuff cardboard we putted in my room bed and floor, started to get the really tiny black particles that i see when the problem kicks in.
He still says they can be particles, dust, fiber...anything BUT NEVER afirming a Bugg situation.
He uses a magnifying glass.  This stuff is microscopic, smallers that salt grains or beach sand.
without a good microscope, nobody can identify ANYTHING.  Hes amazed of all the **** im trying and all the info i have read.  Hes really interested in this case, but its a mystery he doesnt beleive 100%.
I just emailed him, this post.  I hope he reads it, cause i talk about him, describing they just deal with normal pest(ants, roaches, psocids, termites, ect)  He told me he has never seen a BBugg case in P.R
im geting to conclusions it has to be related to humidity, Mold, or some parasite that feeds and likes my apt.

Its very frustrating not really knowing how to eliminate or idenify  the problem by its roots.
keep replying, ill keep u posted.  A day or 2, after returning a borough O3 generator, the **** started again.
If I had some stuff in my room, or in the whole apt, and the O3 eliminated it(for a while)  Mold, fungus, spores come back again and reproduce rapidly since nothing has been done with the infrastucture of my apt and also for stoping the o3 treatment.  Im thinking of buying one, or buying a humidifier.  It may reduce the problem.
It *****, it can be so many things,  He also says that if some neighbors had alot of **** in their apt, (infestation)
that they may be moving to my apt, since probably has the more humidity % in the whole building...
like, they may like ur home... and may swarm @night wich is the critical hours.  I have alot of trees in the same level as my windows.  I have screens, but this stuff may be so small, the pass freely without hassle.  
Also i keep my front door open for cross ventilation.
My apt has very little ventilation when closed.  I just have a mini desk fan, thats it.  AC in the living room(which i never turn on)
and small AC in my tiny bedroom.  If its coming from the outside, they may come in easilly.
If they are just living allready here or in my body, the come out or activate their presence@ night.

keep posting on this mistery, im on tha watch :D
