    Mystery bugs
    Been itching for weeks. Getting black specks sometimes white or clear dots and small looking bits of tobacco which obviously aren't tobacco. The black specks are the bugs I believe some are almost impossible to see whereas others are a little larger but still not big enough to make out what they are. I'm extremely sensitive whereas my partner says I'm being paranoid. (I'M NOT!) Changed bed sheets we both bath everyday what are they?? They're not headlice I know what they look like these are much harder to find and get rid of whatever they are! They aren't 'animal' fleas they're too small for that. We have no pets, but around the time this started I had a friend round who works with horses and has a pet cat maybe just coincidence? Help me please!

    And not sure if its more of a skin complaint rather than an extermination issue it might be but clueless either way. X

    If we do pay for an exterminator we want to be sure it's a pest control issue first. X

    If there is a biology department, one of the professors might be willing to look at this for free. Call over there.

    You must not want to do something about this because you are willing to not have your daughter in your home or cuddle with her. That's not good at all! Take the bugs to a college or an exterminator. Isn't your relationship with her important to you?

    I would be selfish and stupid to give my daughter scabies if I have them or bed bugs. I don't know if you have kids but to me they come before my own wants. I cannot afford an exterminator with xmas a couple of weeks away

    There is a line between being rude and giving criticsm. To say I don't love my daughter is sick. I lost my 5 month old son a week ago. You should think about how you say things
