Merged
I have taken care of my problem after visiting my dermatologist. He prescribed "Permethrin 5%" topical cream. This is what helped me get rid of these bugs for good: Take a bath on a solution of water (1/2 bathtub), 1/3 gallon of vinager, 4 cups of Epsom Salts and plenty regular salt. After the bath, shower with 10% sulfur soap (easier way to get it is at a Hispanic drugstore under "Acne" treatments, otherwise order "Jabon de Azufre" made by a mexican company named Grisi from the internet), for your hair use "Head and Shoulders" shampoo. If you are a hairy man like me, shave your legs and then put on the Permethrin cream in the parts of your body that are affected, leave the cream on for the night when you go to bed. About the bed, wash your sheets, blankets and pillow covers in hot water with detergent and Borax. Vacuum under the bed thoroughly and spray the mattress, the box spring, the walls around your bed and under and around the bed with Sprayway "Good Night" mitecide (this mitecide I found at Home Depot not under insecticides but under cleaning supplies where they have Lysol and other cleaning sprays), let the spray dry before putting on plastic covers on your mattress and box spring (zippered ones found at Walmart), make your bed and go to sleep. The following morning wash off the Permethrin cream and follow up with another treatment one week hence. Continue showering with sulfur soap (sulfur definitively kill mites), you'll smell like sulfur, but what the heck, I'd rather smell like sulfur 1,000 times rather than not being able to sleep nights on end.
Most important, relax, this affliction is partially psychological due to the despair caused by trying to get rid of these critters. God Bless and Merry Christmas.

There are companies in the internet that sell liquid sulfur. Try spraying that to see if that kills them. Traditionally there are two ways to kill mites: sulfur and kerosene. People in farms use kerosene to kill "chicken mites", all others die with sulfur.
