    White specs dig into skin and stay there till they die...
    I have these parasites on my body. It started with white long specs jumping on me, and immediately, digging into my skin. Days after I started noticing white small salt grain looking things dropping on me from the ceiling, jumping on me from the floor, or from the top of furniture. I put them on a microscope but they don't look like a bug at all, they look more like a single cell organism or something like that. The doctors think I'm crazy but I know I'm not. I have pictures of them on a microscope. Has any one had an experience like this. It's so depressing.

    HMMM. Sounds like you may need another type of Doctor, not a regular MD. Things just don't fall on you or jump up on you and burrow in . Sorry

    Do you experience any visible skin irritation before scratching? Sensory nerves can be affected by internal conditions as well as external ones.

    It is so easy to feel like we are being attacked by bugs, and not be crazy. I have pets, so am constantly vigilant for fleas etc. I caught scabies from somewhere I lived for a short while once. Just last month I thought I had scabies again, because of intense itching around my waist (and all over), with little red spots, but I knew the odds of scabies were remote because this is my own home, so I made a small humidifier for my desk and my skin stopped itching within 24 hours. I fill it with about a quart an hour! Houses are DRY DRY DRY in the winter.

    I wonder if a combination of winter dry air and plaster dust from ceilings, dandruff from a dry scalp, and random flakey dustiness is making you feel this way?

    I hope you try a humidifier or vaporizer. Be sure it keep it clean. I made my own out of a stainless steel 2 quart pot and an $8 immersion heater, because I don't like trying to keep the plastic ones from getting moldy.
