I have been dealing with these mites going on seven months. I have been to a dermatologist and prescribed medicine to take and medicine to put on my skin. It only helped for a short time. I have lost sleep. I believe the dermatologist didn't believe I had mites. I took her some of them to show her. She ignored me. This has been a nightmare and I want to be rid of these. Please help us.REPORT COMMENTS

I notified the CDC, they claimed they won't have anything to do with my problem, told me to see a doctor. Me, I am alone in this fight, I live in a 1000 square foot home with 2 German Shepherds getting rid of them is not an option. My female doesn't seem to be effected but my male had lost a lot of hair, $300 at the vets and a weekly bath with a Sulphur lime mixture has brought some of the hair back and he seems to be on the road back to good healthy skin. I am also in a financial crisis in heavy credit card debt on a small pension and social security...fortunately I have permethrin 5%... I get paid tomorrow I will stock up on windex and listerine and spray bottlesREPORT COMMENTS

Please help. I have been living with this infestation for 3 years now. Vector control, doctors all can't figure it out. I work with the public so I know I am spreading it. These bugs are visible in the sunlight, so I know I am not delusional or just allergic.REPORT COMMENTS

Hey there Maggie. Don't know if u will see this. Yes. A lot of people believe that morgellons is caused from some type of mite, that may carry a fungal bacteria that is transmitted from the bite. If u have found collembolla, u at least have a start. Collembola r attracted to mold. U might want to check ur house for moisture / water leak situation. Even a tiny but steady drip can create a horrible mold problem. Some of the microscope critters eat the mold. Some lay eggs in it. If u are finding a lot of " dust" in ur home, more than normal , that may be mold / fungus related too.REPORT COMMENTS

I have found collembola mites in my bathroom and I do believe that these are the culprit of this Morgellons issue. There is water damage and most likely the fungus due to it was the original attraction, unfortunately now we are the feast. They are microscopic and hard to catch but I have caught many and used 1000x magnifier for identification. I have found them tinier and transparent so they are very hard to locate. I have scabs and sores all over my face, arms and legs and they are the culprit. I have photos of one alive and one removed from my body, same thing.REPORT COMMENTS

Dear Congress, please take this petition seriously. The skin mites support group on fb that I joined last Nov. was at 400 members. It is now over 1,200 and some people join and then leave again. We are just regulAr folks who somehow have been drafted into a war with a tiny, invisible or nearly invisible to the naked eye parasite. Imagine if you will that everytime you try to sleep or relax you feel crawling and biting sensations, this despite huge efforts in cleaning, increasing immunity, and topicals for the skin. You can't sleep because in addition to the crawling qnd biting the tormentors are crawling in your nose, mouth, and ears. When you look at a clear background you can see things float through your vision. We need help and yet all professionals from whom we seek it are either unable or unwilling to help us. We are afraid for our loved ones and friends! We are forced to go out in the world this way, even though we may be introducing whatever this is to the greater society! We have to work, buy groceries, buy supplies, etc. All we ask is that this be legitimately studied so that vaccines, tests, and treatments might be developed. We are concerned about the very real possibility of this infesting the whole world. Please, I implore you, look into the reason for so many people to be infected by something so tiny it is close to invisible before our society as a whole is devastated by this. We personally are already devastated and willing to meet our maker anytime now, but most of us remain concerned for the larger picture that may one day touch you, your loved ones, and your friends. If nothing else, I would think you might want to find out how many delusions of parasite diagnosis are being made and then research why there are that amount and what may be causing it!REPORT COMMENTS

To our senators or congress, We are a large group of thousands of people suffering from Gamasoidosis--that is, infestation by a previously unrecognized type of mite such as the bird mite. This mite is blood feeding and proves to be an enorous burden upon sufferer's health, jobs, and to the economy. People are leaving their homes and possessions behind to escape this disease. These mites blood feed and reproduce on pets and humans--much like bed bugs--except bed bugs have a treatment, and these mites, which are not insects, do not. Home invasions from mite infestations and public facilities can involve thousands of mites. They do tremendous damage to skin and health. The danger is that they are transmitted quite easily through physical contact, infected items ( fomites) and from being in an environmental area. These mites pose an extreme danger to public facilities and offices and reproduce rapidly. There is no current first line poison to treat these mites or medical treatment as mites show an extreme resistance to pyrethroid insecticides. The economic loss for humans and domestic animals ( not to mention the threat to hotels, public transport, public buildings and the like) is on a pretty concerning level. We wish for this problem to be addressed and investigated by the CDC or WHO as this is spreading rapidly. I currently run a large Facebook group with well over a thousand sufferers with the intent to create a non-profit to address this epidemic. We urge you to act immediately and set aside research for this growing issue. Photos and ither research can be provided. Europe is already beginning to take this issue seriously with the creation of COREMI, a research organization dedicated to tackling the issue of the red poultry bird mite that is attacking humans and animals. http://www.coremi.eu/home.html Even so, the United States needs to do the same and begin to get a hold of this out of control problem as birds that lay nests on buildings, squirrels and rats are common pests that come in contact with humans frequently and can spread this parasite into various facilities and into human lives. Thank you for your time in considering this issue. Sincerely, Natalie Willingham Skin Mites Support GroupREPORT COMMENTS

I am mentally, physically, emotionally and financially DRAINED. Constantly doing research to help myself just exist. We need help!

My family has been going through hell. There are no other words to describe it. We have been misdiagnosed or treated as if what has been affecting us is cleared through taking matters into our own hands. It is not. More research in necessary. Dr's refuse to treat something they cannot research. Trust me on this, I fought like mad to get an appointment with infectious disease. Was seen by two Dr's and one being the chief of staff for internal med/infectious disease. Nothing.... nothing.... nothing! These are supposed to be the Dr's that think outside of the box. It seems now they just go off of what you tell them to think.REPORT COMMENTS
