: : : My story sounds similar to alot of others apart from I wish that the bugs would bite me and leave a mark on me then perhaps the doctor would actually believe me. My bugs tickle all over the body, especially when it is cold they drive me crazy, I have had visits to the doctor on numerous occations,the pest control have fumergated my house to no avail. I have tried removing all my carpets and replacing with wooden floors and even actually moved house. I can't be the only person with this problem.

: : : Please someone HELP!

: : Do an internet search for the Topix Scabies Forum. You may have scabies. Also, there is a yahoo group called birdmitesorg. Join that yahoo group and read and participate in the group. Also, there is a website called birdmites.org. you can read that one, too. Lots of really good information on the Topix Scabies forum. That are over 100 threads on that forum, and one thread contains almost 6,000 posts, called Scabies is Highly Contagious. All the best to you.

: Thanx Susan

: I have looked on the scabies site forum site and birdsmite org, but I feel that it is still none of these as I do not actually get bitted anywhere, not that I am aware of anyway. There is some information about demodex mites, they sound very similar apart from I don’t suffer from acne.

: I have now been suffering from this condition for at least two years + it all started when I took a blanket out the cuboard which my mother had given me to put on the bed, at the time I had a friend who was staying over night. We both started itching it was as if there were fleas in the blanket. I took the blanket straight of and the next day chucked the blanked away. The next day I could still feel things tickling all over me but when I looked there was nothing there. I called pest control who fumigated the house and fumigated the house but they were still there, When the pest control first fumigated the house I thought I could see tiny white clear tear shaped things, but don’t see anything anymore. I went to the doctor who prescribed I think some kind of scabies treatment. Basically I have been to the doctors on numerous occasions and seen different doctors who say I just have to get use to it.

: I have tried everything like I said from bleaching to sprays, moving house, getting rid of clothing, bed and carpets everything! even if I stay at someone else’s house I still feel them, Friends have stayed and they say that they don’t feel them, I would say that it is my imagination apart from my current boyfriend say’s that he feels them and is not happy that he seems to of caught them off me.

: For me they are at their worst when it is cold, when it is night time and the temperature drops they become very active, I don’t feel them if I am in the bath or undressed it is more if there is clothing next to my skin. If I go out and have a drink that seems to slow them down and once the alcohol is out of my system I start to feel them once again. Everything I can do to get rid of them I have tried.

: I do worry about what they are actually doing to me are they causing any long term effects apart from of course driving me crazy + I really don’t want anyone else to catch them.

: Any more ideas anyone
