infestation

I was reading about the black carpet beedle getting under your skin. Well for the last 3 months we have been in a living hell. don't know if it is them, but my husband woke up with two scratch like sores on his face. you could see something in them (like a worm). we then realized our carpet was full. there were in everything. kitty litter, fridge. everywhere. The building sprayed our apartment so we went to hotel. at the hotel, he noticed a long bump just beside his ear. he put proxicide on it and all of a sudden it got huge. this hard shelled thing was in the middle of the bump. yes sounds crazy!! we thought we were crazy. then, we would get long white things that were under our skin on our head. there was an oily trail where they were. so for all those people and doctors that think we need mental health help..you are all wrong. something is basically attacking us. we have pictures of my husbands face, pictures of our arms etc. so they may not be carpet beedle but it is something. I have never seen anything like this. also, my animals fur is being eaten. we moved and left everything there. now we are in an empty apartment, yet still can see marks on us which makes us think they are still in our bodies.

I was trying to respond to a "medical professional" on this topic who replied to another poster suffering with this problem.  I was really annoyed with his dismissive damaging response to the OP, implying they were delusional and no such condition exists.  
I'd like to share that there are many documented cases of beetles causing parasitic infestation in humans.   The condition also has a medical term as well.  Its called canthariasis.  
I hope this can help in some way.  As frustrating as this is, we must take our own health into our own hands if medical professionals are refusing to treat!
Do your own research and take control back of your life.  
We can figure this out! Don't give up.  I have some suggestions that may help.  
Feel free to message me if anyone is interested in self treatment.

I do not have the answers.  I do believe you.  I live in an apartment that got infested with some kind of carpet beetle.  They do not seem to infect anyone but me however, my boyfriend as well as one of my children have seen them when they are either in me or coming out of me.  Therefore I know I am not crazy.  There was an article wrote on this that I had found in my research done by a college.  I have read so much I do not remember where I read it but, I will keep looking for it and let you know.  I had them everywhere arms, legs, back stomach feet and even in the bottom of my feet.  I had so many at one time I would step down on my foot and the bottom of my foot would feel wet from them either going in or coming out and me stepping on them.  This is new to me just happened recently.  I am concerned about the egg laying people are talking about.  If anyone has anything further please let me know.
