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
Thank you very much for the information you gave me. Im still living with it some days are better then others. I have stopped going to the doc and spending money to say there is nothing wrong. Sorry it took so long to get back but im glad I looked this time. If it works even a little I will let you know. By the way when you found one what did it look like and how big was it... Again thank you...

Hi Lela,
It does sound like you have the same as me and lots of other people. It is called morgellons and if you will go to the Morgellons research site you will find others who have had the shiny specs along with lots of other stuff. some people on this site think that those specs are a sign that you have a very bad infection with the morg bugs and I agree. There are lots of things on this site that will help you. all sorts of different protocols for easing your symptoms and most of all you will have people that you can relate with and them with you. There is not a cure yet and many theories as to what has caused this terrible disease that makes people suffer so much. For the past several weeks I have been suicidal because i felt like there was no hope for me at all and I couldn't imagine how much longer I could mentally withstand this torture, especially when people think you are crazy or some kind of dirty person because some people think that they would never be in our situation, that they are to clean or whatever but it can happen to even the cleanest person that there ever was. some people are thinking that morg has something to do with heavy metal toxic levels in our body's and there are some other things as to why this may have happened to us. Please go to that site and check it out. You will find more answers there than I think any where else. There are thing that can help you , some people are beginning to live normal lives again. GOOD LUCK Mmarsha
A very good saying is "be open minded...but not so open minded that your brain falls out." Your brain has fallen out. Believing everything you read on the internet is a very dangerous thing. There is TONS of peer-reviewed literature on the topic of morgellon's and all of it points to a psychological issue.
It's hilarious to think that this is some parasite that can't be identified or even produced for research.
Cinnabar, people come to this site for help and hopefully some compassion and understanding. You are not as informed as you think you are and you obviously dont know what you are talking about on the subject of morgellons. If you were as up on your research as you say that you are you would know that the NPA is working with FDA on the subject of collembola infesting humans and the relation to morgellons and as we speak the CDC is conducting a clinical investigation into the disease. The medical community is starting to realize that morgellons is a REAL disease. I don't know where you get your info at but you and others like you better listen up. Morgellons is real and as of right now people are unsure how the actually contract it except that there seems to be a direct link with lyme disease. THIS WOMAN IS SUFFERING SOMETHING YOU CAN"T EVEN BEGIN TO FATHOM AND HOW DARE YOU TRY AND MAKE SOME KIND OF LAME JOKE and say that there is no such thing. THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT SAID THE HOLOCAUST NEVER HAPPENED TOO. BUT THE MILLIONS OF JEWS THAT WERE SLAUGHTERED WOULD CERTAINLY DISAGREE. You need to stop and think about someones feelings and remember that you are not here to make fun of people and to pretend like you know what is going on physiologically with them> answer the question asked or just shut up.

Lela, I don't know if you come to this site or not anymore but if you do I have found something that is helping me. It is called GSE , Grapefruit seed extract. It is inexpensive and it helps. You can get it off the net or local health food store. If you do see this post and use be sure and follow directions about diluting. I put several drops in shampoo and body wash and if I am having more problem with one area or another I soak rag in it (diluted solution) and lay it on problem area. I hope this helps you as well.

One more thing Benonite clay, you can obtain it at local health food store. You can take baths with this and sea salt and soak 30 min and then shower using srubby, dry off and mix some clay till putty consistency and pack it on your problem area's. I some times but a bandage over mine. I hope you are doing better. I have thought about you often and wondered how you are?

About 10 years ago I traveled to Belize and came back with severe fatigue, felt that I would faint all the time. After numerous doctor visits, I finally went to a naturopath who did some testing to find I had 5 different parasites. After an internal cleanse I felt better within a couple of days. Sadly, US doctors are not the best at diagnosing parasites. It is likely that you have contracted a parasite from your travels in the Dominican Republic. Especially if you drank or swam in the water. Try to find a doc that can either do some bioenergetic testing to see what's up, or a specializes in parasites. Sometimes if things are left untreated they can have severe affects on your body so it would be good for you to keep going with your battle to discover what's going on. Try googling Domincan Republic parasites, see what you come up with. Although good to do - my family, including my dogs, all do an intestinal cleanse now once every six months with "Parasist" found at Whole Foods type market...sometimes certain parasites need specific treatment, so it is good to see someone who can guide you through these tricky waters. One web site I found...phttp://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dpd/parasites/Schistosomiasis/factsht_schistosomiasis.htm talks about schistosomiasis, which is common in DR. Prayers with you!
Don't allow people to make you think you are imagining these things. There are so many other people out there with similar problems, myself included. No one who has not experienced such a nightmare can possibly understand the frustration and the isolation from these parasitic entities - whatever they are. Just getting a good night's sleep becomes a primary life issue. You will find yourself trying to find out why and how you got these critters over and over in your head. You mind desperately tries to figure out a solution. There are many temporary solutions posted on various sites -- I have tried a huge percentage of them. Essentially the core prob seems to be killing off the eggs of these things. Good luck on your quest, don't give up.
It sounds like bird mites to me except the part about it being shiny in your hair.Why dont you just try a bird mite remedy and see if it helps or goes away,and then you will have answer to your problem.They are really hard to get rid of though,as they get into everything.I doubt you have delusional parisitosis if you can see them,and what you describe sounds just like mites.They arent easy to kill and they keep coming back after the number are reduced if you find something that kills them but they multiply pretty quickly and they are so small they get into places where you cant spray if you are using a kill on contact spray.Try boric acid and borax,grains or powder which can be left on the carpet.The borax definitely works on mites if you mop them or left on the carpet.I have used it on areas before.But like i said its hard to get rid of because they get into everything.
You might want to try and get a sample of them too,but using sticky tape taped upside down to a piece of paper and on the edges of each upside down strip of tape,so that they cannot crawl under it,and put that near a heater on a cold night (if its cold enough),as mites dont like the cold much and will gravitate towards a heat source.And you can then take the samples to a bird specialist vet or to an entymologist at a university to find out which variety of insect or mite you might have.The heater might also work on insects other than bird mites,its worth a try.
I can imagine how hard it must be to be told that you are imagining things.
