    My apartment got infested with some pin pricking mites that also attacked my cats and made their fur fall out. A year later, I am diagnosed with Lyme disease, bartonella, babesia, mycoplasma, anaplasma with very high C4 and C57. There is some kind of tiny, wormy skin parasite that I can rub out of my skin with mustard after taking hot shower. There are also skin mites, that I can't see unless they're dead and then they look like black specks. These mites have also invaded my gut, but no fecal test reveals it. The mite that stings and leaves scratches on me seem to appear as silver or pink glitter when they hatch in my environment. I have had to vacate my apartment, stop working and have been self treating the skin mite problem since no doctor believes me. I cannot resume normal life without risking infecting other people and their homes. I have spent $30,000 in exterminations, doctors, tests and antiparasite herbal products in 1 year. Why is it so hard for doctors to understand that they can't see these mites because they're microscopic or translucent? How many people have to get infected from all the people and environments not being treated or exterminated before the CDC realizes this is an epidemic? I had a good life before this. Now I'm in a constant state of being in 'survival mode' to try to get cured. I know entire families who have lost their hones and health from this. What are we supposed to do but wait for enough doctors to get infected too so they finally believe us?

    One more time, if you REALLY want to help people, please move that site OFF of facebook and over to a medical forum site. You can leave a pointer page on facebook to direct people to the new site. You could not pay me enough to type the "m" word into the fb search field. There is NO anonymity on facebook. Companies pay for all of our fb search data. I am not paranoid, rather, I am "in the know" about search engine technology and marketing strategies. PLEASE.

    I have been in total hell since 2009, have spent well over $30.000 On Drs and never got help. Have even ended up in a mental institution for 4 days with them thinking it was all in my head, while the nurses admitting they could see the rashes and store's all over me. I have been as Red as Sun burn from the waist up. It was January. They were very puzzled and could not explain my Sun burn skin. I kept telling them something feels like it's eating me. They old laugh ! I have 167 symtoms that come and go. I have lost my Business of 30 years my marriage my Son, and after my divorce the only Girlfriend of 2 years after my marriage was long over. Ronda my girlfriend that was with me for 2 years couldn't take it anymore. She lost hope and so have i. It's been 3 years now since she left and I look so old now. It's apparent to me I am to UGLY to be wanted. I have aged 22 years in looks since 2011. I am almost dead now from this. As I type this on my phone they are crawling out of my ears eye's mouth nose and REALLY biting me on my upper lip. I was a body builder in the best shape of my life when thit hard. Now I have lost approx. 34 pounds of solid muscle. My neck look like I am 70 years old my Son said last weekend. Whom I only see now 4 times a month. It was me that raised him. Not my ex. She thinks I'm crazy, but my precious baby boy who is now 14 knows Daddy isn't. He is the air that I breath and she took him away from me 2011. There is so much more Hart Pain to much to explain. My life is ruined. She has almost distorted my son's Veiw of me. I am extremely EXSTREMLY SICK AND lonely. If not for my Son I would have ended my life in 2013 Solomon and I basically went 5 years without spending time together. He was 9 when she took him. I am a born LEADER and awesome out going man of God who puts everything into love, 's peace maker' and I love to be around lots of people. I since Oct 23 2013 after Ronda and I split. I have been alone. There was a time when I felt I could take on the world. Now I'm imbarresed to go outside my door. I guess I better stop. Sorry everyone who reads this... I am just at my end with loneliness. That you for reading, and to you who have me this opportunity I will give the Windex a try. May our Mighty Lord Jesus bless you for your courage. Best Regards Doug Jackson Beaverton Oregon #503/502/5897 I would be honored if anyone from anywhere would call me. Friends tell me I'm still handsome(ya right)! But I just look all dried up and older everyday they see me. This sucks BIG TIME.

    This has destroyed my life & I contemplate suicide daily but just keep on pushing on. Spend all my money to try & get well. I was a happy, active, youngish 28 year old & my life ended then. 10 years later and I hate who I am. I am tired of fighting and ready for God to receive my weary soul.

    While hospitalized I noticed something jumping on my face. I thought the hospital bed must have fleas. As soon as I was discharged I rushed home and bathed in white vinegar. A month later I went to the doctor complaining that I had gotten something from the hospital bed that multiplied and is all over my home and crawling all over me and my small dogs. The doctor diagnosed it as scabies. It has now been three months and I have spent over a thousand dollars trying to get rid of them. It is mites but I don't belive it to be scabies since they don't bite me or my pets. They just crawl all over us but mainly in my hair. Pest companies will do nothing for mites. I have tried everything and now have no place to turn. I can't allow guest in my home or to Pet my pups. I can't go out to eat or to get a haircut for fear of spreading them. I am trapped in my home with no one to turn to. For God sakes please do something.

    5 years I have been telling many different Drs of the biting and the crawling and constantly am ran out made fun of ridiculed to the point it has ruined my life, my energy is gone I can't work anymore and I'm on the brink of suicide. When no one can fix it what's the point? I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired and I simply can not take much more. I'm sure it is something simple we just need the right people to take a look into this, please, more and more people are coming down with this affliction it's time to act now

    There is nobody in the government that knows what to do, doctors don't know what to do. Go to a website called Pestkill.com/go to mites then just scroll down to almost the bottom and read some stories of people that are having success with treating their homes and getting rid of the mites. There are many different kinds of mites so one solution is not going to work for everyone but they have more success than anyone I have read about recently. I was healed from bird mites that I had for two years by taking communion everyday, believing Jesus took every disease on his body on the cross. It did not happen over night, but I kept believing no matter what I felt, I am healed!!!!!!!

    This is the most horrific terrible thing that I have ever dealt with. I have spent well over $10,000 out of pocket on top of blue cross blue shields amount trying to find a true diagnosis & treatment plan. I have traveled to 3 different states. All doctors say yes it is something wrong but we do not know what it is, it is unidentifiable. So heck yes we need help!! Someone anyone! Educate the doctors please. Educate us. Help. Help. Help. Please. Thank you. Tracie Mississippi
