This is the most horrific thing to deal with. Will someone please find out what is causing this and get the news to the medical community. I have been in what feels like a war with these critters for 3 months now and I can find no one that seems to know what to do to help me. Doctors have been no help, I've hiad an exterminator out twice, taken my dog to the vet three times and I am fast losing all hope. Will someone please look into this and get us the help we deserve for this nightmarish situation. Thank you. -

At the age of 68 I have NEVER undergone bed bugs or mites. Two months ago the nightmare began with dust mites. Our home has always been thoroughly cleaned, dusted, vaccumed and not overload with items that contest our home. We are disturbed by this infestation that is unexplained. It seems as if it is something in the atmosphere. As we've researched on line many people are dealing with this. Something needs to be done about this growing epidemic through whatever government entity that can reasonably "provide" treatments, remedies, inspections (job creation) and solutions beyond the general practice of washing, vaccuming, trashing, covering household items. This is a serious "SPREADING" epidemic.REPORT COMMENTS

To clear the air about eucalyptus oil (pun intended), I found lemon eucalyptus essential oil at a (serious) health food store. Brand name: Veriditas. The botanical name of the plant is "Eucalyptus citriodora". This is in contrast to the two more common versions of eucalyptus oil you find on the market (generally recommended for respiratory issues), Eucalyptus radiata and Eucalyptus globulus. There was confusion because this critical information was missing from the article in question, and no trade name was given for the product containing the oil. No amount of rereading will fill in those blanks. If you google "lemon eucalyptus oil", a few bug repellant products will pop up, some of which are sold at Target. One brand is "Repel", and Cutter also puts out a DEET-free bug repellant with lemon eucalyptus oil. Happy shopping and good luck!REPORT COMMENTS

For those of you who are too sick or compromised to go all over the internet, I read Marie's website and she says the repellent is "Lemon Eucalyptus" (LE), sold at Whole Foods. She dilutes one part of that in 10 parts water and uses it as a spray on herself and I guess all items of interest. Shake well before spraying. I went to 3 different Whole Foods but did not find this product. Instead, I bought eucalyptus and lemon essential oils and will experiment with them. I mixed them with the alcohol I spray in my bed every night, but still got crawled and drilled on. How much sugar I consume during the day seems to be the factor that determines my ability to sleep. Also, rubbing some antifungal lotion like Home Health brand (at Whole Foods and Vitamin Shoppe) on trouble spots and dusting on food-grade diatomaceous earth while the lotion is still sticky helps a lot. And don't forget going over your sheets and furniture with the all-important lint rollers, and picking off any foreign-looking fuzzballs that the lint roller misses. None of these items is a solution, however. There is something about our chemistry that determines whether or not these things, whatever they are, are attracted to us as opposed to others. We need to find out what that is, and find a way to fix it internally.REPORT COMMENTS

I'm old fashioned, so I'm going to say "we can send a man to the moon?" but we cannot get a vaccination for this? REALLY! I've been dealing with this for a month and a half. At first I thought it was head lice and treated it accordingly. I had notice getting bit on my legs @ night. So I google it. Bed bugs was that answer. So I my son came over (walked) and we treated it accordingly. (In our way.) We wrapped everything. Threw it all out, carpets, bed, sofa. Vacuumed, shop vac, swept, mopped, sprayed insecticide, bug bombed. I still had a recliner, I tried to sleep in it. 1 night ok 2nd night, biting is back. Recliner out too. I had a spare room w/ an old pull out bed, not used in years. So my dogs an I retreated to there. At this point in the story I want to cry because I was bit the 2nd night, maybe the first, as at that point I was to exhausted to know. I looked it up again. Asking something?? different this time and it came up because I googled 'invisible'. I slept in and wore permithine (misspell) for 20 hrs and poisoned myself. (THEY) would rather we fill land-fills full of our belongings, than try to help. We need help. A vaccine to STOP this from destroying our lives. I can't visit my family. I still have to go to the store, am I contaminating another family? Tomorrow I will be forced to euthanize my geriatric dog. She cannot take the obsessive itching, despite have Frontline on. I believe I may have these mites on me in places I do not care to say. I left my home of 32 years. I bathe in lice shampoo everyday in a separate, vacant room above my brothers house. He was kind enough and carefree to allow me over & he's single, so no one else is involved. I spray myself & surroundings constantly. I bag my clothes and even get undressed in a plastic bag. I will try to save at least one dog. I also have out door cats. I see them scratching lots, they have flea spot med on too. How on earth could this cruelty be accepted by any society?REPORT COMMENTS

To Gardner in Kansas. Yes, you probably are noticing the bites and especially the itching now that your medication is being reduced. For all we know, those bugs were also being a little less active, because of the medicine you use. Maybe they are more active now as a result of your medicine being reduced. We don't know. But it sounds logical to me. Are you still actually finding and seeing the bugs that bite you? It could be that the bugs are gone, but you have now contracted a skin bacterial infection, from what ever other pathogens these mites carry. I believe they can carry what ever a tick does and maybe more. We don't know. one thing that will help when you do go to a doctor is don't mention mites or any type of bug. They won't believe you. Instead talk about the possibility of a fungus. They will tend to believe that. The term delusional parasitosis was created back in the 1930s, after patients complaining of bugs under or on their skin. Sadly doctors are still getting away with that diagnosis. hopefully your doctor will give you an anti fungal and maybe antibiotics to help treat it. If it is partly a fungus, you should get some sort of positive response from the antifungal. It maybe all you need at this point. Hang in there.REPORT COMMENTS

I became infested with what I believe are bird mites after a nest was pulled from a vent above my bedroom window and left there along with bird poop on the ledge right by my open window. I have had to throw out most of my belongings due to them being infested and moved to another apartment. But I am still getting crawled on and bitten, so these things are living on me. I am so afraid of infesting my new place. Please take this seriously and put funding aside to study this as many people nationwide are affected by these mites.REPORT COMMENTS

I have never put much thought into this since I always thought it was just in my head. During the past 6 months to year it seems this problem has gotten worse or more noticeable. I have seen many different explanations on various websites. Nothing seems to make sense. This issue is way bigger than I could have ever imagined. This needs to be addressed. I have not even tried to combat this problem. With so many different assumptions as to what this is and what to do to combat this it seems impossible. Please help us.REPORT COMMENTS

Just know that Morgellons the "disease" is only the tip of the iceberg. This GMO or whatever it is is dust that attaches itself to every living and non living thing it comes into contact with and assimilates itself and then starts to grow. Carpet is the one thing that harbors the dust the most but I recently found insulation between my walls that is transforming into something that looks like a science fiction movie. These tiny hairs that are at the tips of carpet fibers, the insulation, all of the material such as clothing and bedding move with intelligence and show aggression. When you see it you will notice it's always reaching outwards. The throw pillows on your couch with the frayed ends. The comforter of quilt or rug you have to always trim the threads from for some reason It's in our food and water and and on every plant inside and outside of my house. There are so many aspects to this and the non-believers are focused on the disease side and the sick I don't think have opened their eyes to the full scope of this life-form that is altering the entire planet. I challenge ANYONE who dares to say this is a delusion or Lyme Disease crusade to take a cotton ball. Pull it apart to shred the fibers as thin as possible. Tape it up some place with no air movement so the the fine hairs are allowed to dangle. Move your fingers towards it slowly. You will see it come in to make contact out of curiosity. It may attach and try to get under your nails. It may release and move away and come back. It's not static. Shine your cell phone flashlight at it. Notice the dust that moves towards the cotton ball. Try this with some threads from your clothing. Something with color will show the iridescent bands that are created by the dust. Or just look for a nasty looking dangling dust monster hanging from your ceiling and slowly walk up to it shining your flashlight. That is the most visible way to see it if you want to become "aware". I think the dust uses gravity and stored energy for making movements. But having said all this******that most people tell me they don't want to know. The fact is that we need to get our heads wrapped around that this is not a disease but intelligent life whether natural or modified. Keep this in mind. Now that everyone is so happy that global warming was a hoax hasn't anyone at all been curios as to why there has not been a word from Al Gore or anyone trying to defend themselves? Global warming is real but natural but it wasn't the rising sea waters that have started the next Extinction Level Event. It is the the microbes thawing out at Blood Falls Antarctica that are floating along, getting picked up by storms, and dropped everywhere that is the cause. The shit's been there for over 51 million years at the bottom of the ocean. They knew about it. Genetically screwed with it. Weaponized it. And thought we would be ok as long as it stays down there.REPORT COMMENTS

As you now know, no one is going to help you, least of all our government or its medical system. However, there is daylight at the end of the tunnel. Without going into names and giving people ideas to take matters into their own hands, there is a cure. And, it's happening right now, like a miracle, in another branch of medicine. But, you have to start putting pressure on Congress, Pharmaceutical Companies, and our medical system. Tell them to wake up. It's here. You want out of this mess, forever. And, that's what this new drug can do, kill the Mites, forever. You may have to take it for several months to kill the eggs and the ones in your environment that will keep re-attacking you.

They said they felt them crawling up there arm instantly. U just can't take a chance with these buggers. With in days, their bodies were getting infested again. Their houses followed. Make sure ur water heater is cranked up high enough too. It helps. Wash small loads often. If ur washer doesn't get much water it ( most don't now, cuz environmental laws) u may want to do an extra rinse. This is WAR!REPORT COMMENTS

This disease is the most horrible thing I've just about ever been through in my life. I've been to the Gulf War, cancer....on and on. I never thought in my life that a bug would take over my life. I have sores, bite marks, crawling skin & hair constantly. I think about them continuously and it really is a job in itself to try and rid them. I could not imagine if people didn't try and the disease of these bugs would grow to a magnitude unimaginable. Seriously, we need to rid our society of bed bugs and microscopic mites. This could turn into a major infestation in the US over a short period of years. Just think, a female bed bug alone can lay 500 eggs. And every one of the females from that 500 can lay another 500...etc. They live off of us, it has absolutely ruined my life. I just want to be normal again. Please, PLEASE do something.
