:susan,
Don't worry, you are NOT crazy! although people all seem to have a simple explaination for everything. I posted a long, drawn out message yesterday, about "mite? infestation", but didn't see it. In reply to what you wrote it is exactly the same as what I have been experiencing for 2 months. I think the black ones are perhaps adults and the white ones are some type of ones that haven't matured. I have lost good clothing, several hundred dollars worth. all my food, towels, nails and hair getting wrecked also. My long nails and the ends of my long hair are chewed off. If you clean w/ out gloves as I have, the nails seem to be a way into your system, along w/ tiny cuts on the hands and fingers. They? are completely in everything; my food had to be thrown out, I had to stop wearing makeup and throw it away. They are in the freezer as well. I tried heating up a frozen quiche and it just crumbled. everything in the freezer needs to go. Before kitty has a chance to finish her food they are in that. No one wants to hear about it! as far as nails and make small cuts on hands and fingers, I think they use those to gain access in the body. No one will take me seriously! I was kicked out of the drs. office. He said he saw no bugs, and argued I had been scratching. ( he didn't have a microscope to see them). I clean and clean and clean, I have used every product on the market. $300 in Sept. They do not appear to move. I keep a cup of vinegar by my bed w/ a dropper so when I itch at night, I can dose the places on my head w/ out getting all wet. the crawling feeling on my legs.. if I sit barelegged in the liv. rm over 15 mins. I feel my legs start to crawl although I see nothing... Everything you mentioned is EXACTLY what I am going through. The bites, itching, crawing, holes cleaning treating the cat, and your nails, spitting them out while flossing, ALL that you said I am experiencing. Some bites go away, some get worse. I have NOW collected them in bags as no one believed me & finally called an exterminator. They have the samples and are supposed to get back to me after looking at them? through a microscope. All my clothes have a least one string w/ a ball of tangled fibers and lint at the end, and if not cut off after washing, they get longer. Most ruined were my pjs. I sleep on my back, holes start to appear on the rear. When they clustered together on my leg, outer jaw and back (under the neck where the hair is most damaged) it looked like a scab, but wasn't, I am suspicious eggs were laid. When I rubbed it with vinegar hard wht. things came out (on the smaller sores too).In the morning I pick ones from both corners of the eyes; like the ones I've felt in the bed. Those are extremely tiny and hard as a grain of sand.They create dirt and thrive in it. Now are in our (me and kitty's) intestinal tract. One other thing that is so hard to beleive, I left a piece of tinfoil out overnight on the floor and there were 18 pin sized holes in it. When held to the light you could easily see pin holes (19 or more). I am using white foam earplugs, so it? they? can't get into my inner ears. I have tried to detail more symptoms beside the ones you signified. This is pure h---!
No, we are not crazy. But I feel like I will be soon! Do you suffer from not enough sleep? Do you live in a woodsy setting? Is it constant itching, tickling or cwarlingon your skin? or have allot of plants? Is your kitty scratching? thanks, suzanne
