bugs in your hair and in clothing

I have something that is biting me on my body. It is in my hair and on my body and in my clothing. What ever it is it bites or stings and feels like it buries in my skin. I can feel it walking on my skin. it falls from my hair and I can feel it on my clothing when it falls. When i go to pick it off it goes into the clothing. It looks white and sometimes black. It looks alot like lint. When I feel it biting or a sting it looks like a little black dot. and when I see it in my hair it looks white or shinny. I have used lice shampoo creams. I have been to a skin doc, my primary doc and a vet skin doc for my dog because I thought it might be mites. but I have not been able to get this problem away. Please if anyone knows what this is or a solution that might help please tell let me know. I have been dealing with this for about 8 months now. like I said its in my hair, on every part of my body that has hair even my eye lashes everywhere. please help. thank you

Morgellons - Morgellons Disease

I did not no about this disease. I just looked at the site and I think that is what I have. I can not believe the information you just gave me. Like I said I have been to a tone of doc's and spent a lot of money and may fights with my husband about this thing on me that i can not explain. I can not thank you enough for the web site and taking the time to give it to me. Thanks again

Your welcome lela211

I'm sorry that people don't believe you, but maybe you can find solace in the fact that other people are dealing with this same thing..

I wish you luck with this..

I researched a little on the internet and saw that there are not any known medical cures

However I did see that people who used iodine on their scabs it helped it heal

go here, Morgellons-Disease-Research - Iodine

Please use with caution, I am not a doctor and if you are allergic, then do not proceed with this

Also, look at this site

Im taking the info to my doc to see what he has to say along with some samples. If you no anything that will help cleaning products anything I would love to have that info. Thanks again

I read online that pestisides don't work, like don't bomb your house. also bleach doesn't work and don't put it on your skin!!!

For some reason they multiply and grow really fast when using those products.

Go to the website below it has LOTS of recommendations on how to clean your house and what to use.. scroll down to the middle (also, there is a lot of helpful information throughout the site as well which i recommend you read)

Morgellons - Morgellons Disease
Morgellons disease is just another name for delusional parasitosis. It is not real. There is plenty of peer-reviewed literature on the subject.

There is such a critter and its BEDBUGS. The OPs description sounds exactly like bedbugs and it doesnt take much to get them in your house, after they are in, they take over.

Her description sounds exactly like an infestation in many apartment buildings in Toronto.

Comments on this post
Choux agrees: No it doesn't sound like bedbugs. Read her original question again. :)

I remember that Dr. Phil had a segment a few years ago on Morgellons.....perhaps you can get something off his website.

The segment came off as Morgellons being a mental illness; that was my concluson.

There is no reason why no insect or whatever hasn't been identified. That would be very easy to do.

Best wishes to you, girl,
