They leave bruises sometimes. Windex helps. Borax helps. I had a vacuum cleaner repaired and may have brought them in that way. Also we had stayed in a resort in California for the weekend prior to the invasion of these tiny(the size of a period) bugs.I get no sleep. They start at 2a. Help!!!!REPORT COMMENTS

My life has been ruined by this and my doctors has diagnosed me as crazy. I have picked these bugs out of my face for two weeks now. They are bird/poultry mites--identified by my vet, as my dog has them, too. Chemicals barely work. I spend my day alternating between alcohol, Witch hazel, Tea Tree oil, Neem oil, and clove oil. I smear vasoline in my eyelashes at night to trap the eggs. Go on: birdmites.org. These parasites are in my blood--so that is why infected people that move to get rid of the problem--take the problem with them. (They work their way out of sores.) From what I am reading, hormonal women, diabetics, and those with type O positive blood type are most likely the victims of this insidious attack. I am trying to "change my blood chemistry" by taking garlic pills. Now I will try to choose alkaline foods. ( I googled changing blood chemistry.) Since my doctor is willing to let me die, I am taking: Black Walnut Extract, Grape Seed extract, as parasite cleansers. I don't know how much longer I will live--everywhere is swelling with them. I imagine the CDC knows why this is happening--(just like the rich "climate deniers.") Google HAARP. Just blows the mind. Please pray for me--Marcy--and I will pray for all of you. Everyone START SCREAMING. Write every bloody person you can think of. Send info to doctors. If no one listens? Follow the money to HAARP and the politicians/military supporting it--demand it be dismantled. Now I know why all my friends are dead--bet the geographical area was targeted with the radiation particles. What is in the air? Birds! They are dropping dead all over my neighborhood--esp. swallows and Dove pigeons. Poor creatures, and us, must suffer so the boys in the military can play with their toys.REPORT COMMENTS

I left a comment but forgot to put I had shingles they said but never did a scraping. All over my scalp and face and fingers. Lost sense of taste and my sense of smell was so intense. They places on my fingers are still were I am getting mites under my skin and scars on my face is where mites are coming out on face. Still loosing hair. Also, have a weaken immune system and vision has changed and gums receeding and after I shower always clean ears with qtips and now always reddish brown every time I clean them now. I also was scratched sitting in a sandbar at the beach, stag net water and a sting ray rubbed my leg and got out. But, my dogs nail scratched my shoulder where I had surgery and my clavicle bone want attached and broke through the skin. I wound up having a donors tendon put in! I am sleeping with cream on my fingers at nite because they are so soar from the bites and mites under my skin. Please, please let me know where I can get someone t believe me and help me because its ruining my life. Lost relationships and don't go anywhere but Doctor appointments and to grocery store and laundry mat. Have spent so much money on products that don't work and have no energy left to clean anymore! I need financial and medical help with figuring out what type of mites I have or parasites because I have seen what looks like rope worms in my stools, the final stage of them. They look like corn husk and are strong and long, Also, have pictures of them too. Its sad to have no one believe you, when you have proof and visual bites and proof!REPORT COMMENTS

I have been dealing with this for going on almost 2 years now. I went to the ER sigh a hole the ize of a pencil eraser in he top of my scalp and breasts leaking and white gooey stuff coming out of corners of my eyes and what looks like red splinters in the skin around my fingernails and very itchy. They put me in phych ward for 4 days and was humiliated and treated horribly! I now am getting bites all over had impetigo, , staff rashes and scaring my face loosing hair, don't have washer and dyer hook ups where I live and live alone and had 2 shoulder surgeries and live on second floor. I am exhausted and been to dermatologists and they think I'm crazy! But have visual bites now and joint aches. I have been so aggravated lost family and friends because no patients. I can't sleepnw my dog is gnawing at his paws and shaking his fur like somethings on him but is on trifexis and never had fleas took him to the vet twice to see if he had mites but never really even looked and I am on disability and vet bill are expensive. My own family thinks I have a mental problem because that's what they diagnosed me in hospital, I can't spell the word but its when a person thinks they have bugs. There are 4 units in my buildind we have field mice in attic rat holes in back yard and mold in basement. One lady had scabies and the other had bed bugs but bought new mattresses and didn't fumigate. I had pest controls come out and time after time say no bed bugs but see blood smears on sheets where I had scratched. My fingers are the worst and look like sausages and wear band aids on every finger. I would like to meet someone because I am 53 and have been single over 20;yrs. I want to move because the building was built in 1947 and was army bar ricks but can't afford too and know that they will come with me. Since no one has helped my place is now infested and in refrigerator and microwave and see specks everywhere! I have to buy lint brushes all the time to get off clothing and can't afford to buy more to be ruined. My curtains and blankets getting runs in them and can't take being isolated anymore and can't tell anyone BC they are afraid to come around. Why can't we be helped and someone or colleges who are studying in the infectious diseases help? The CDC or given some type of help with so many now having the same problems. If we were movie stars or rich could get help or believed! I live on $800 a month and tired and want to give up because its just getting worse! Does Antone else see them on your clothes? I have pictures of clothes things I've pulled out of skin that move when I put next to each other. Jump too. Move in toilet, I look with magnifying glass. Where do I start? Will it ever end? Have went out of town for 2 wks and was getting better and was just in hospital with small bowel obstruction,b5 days and started clearing up. So, I know its in my home! PLEASE HELP!!REPORT COMMENTS

People will use this against you. It's not our fault we have this but because it isn't recognized my the medical community we are branded Delusional. We suffer in silence, and afraid to share with anyone.Thankfully I have a doctor who has tried to help and has tried different treatments. He has treated me for years and when I got this five years ago, he told me I don't know what it is but I know you and I know your not crazy. He saw extreme change in me in just one week. I lost 17 lbs. and I aged 10 years in one week. But I'm a fighter and I live as normal a life as I can. It's not as bad as it once was but it's always there to remind me. I try not to talk about it and I try to act like nothing is wrong, but people do not know the private hell this can cause. I cover the bald spots in my scalp, and cover the sores as best I can...they are fewer now than before and I just get on with living. But I have a young relative who has this and we cover the huge bald spot in the top of her head and we don't tell the pediatrician about it anymore...ringworm meds never phased it. But it pains me to know she is so young and has a whole life ahead of her and at such a young age hiding a disease that is not of her making and no hope to get rid of it. Did I say that some hair grows back in the spot but it is white or clear and kinky and without pigment. It look like see through plastic. If you press on the scalp in this bald spot tiny black things pop out, no its not bugs! But looks like tiny tiny little black sticks..no it not hair.they have no root ball. Strange but beware of who you tell about this because they immediatly start shying away from you, pretending to be understanding but at the same time you see the doubt in their faces, and who can blame them . If I didn't have it myself I wouldn't believe them either!REPORT COMMENTS

I've been dealing with this for 8 yrs. at first it was so bad I was sleeping on the floor because my old mattress was full of biting invisible bugs. I couldn't get any sleep. Fast forward to now I'm 39 with high blood pressure I think from the anxiety and stress from something biting me all the time. I was getting bad headaches and some of my family members as we'll. I also noticed when it is time for my menstral cycle it gets worse it may because I eat a lot of sweets during that time. Just feeling sad right now to see my kids go through this as well it changes your whole life I used to be so out going now I don't want to do anything or be around anyoneREPORT COMMENTS
