    They not only damage your skin and rip every bit of self confidence you once had in yourself away, they make you lose hair, and they’re contagious so if you have kids there goes all physical affection. Cuz you are terrified to even just hug them cuz u don’t ever want them to go through what you are. The money spent on products that never seem to work makes people go broke! Nobody wants you cuz you look terrible so the thought u might die alone, hating yourself wishing someone would be there to help you thru it, well let’s say it’s just about enough to make you withdraw from everyone everything u once loved doing and isolate yourself. And that’s not all, ohhhh it gets better!! The effect they have on your mental health is catastrophic! It’s traumatic asf when you know something isnt right with ur body. U know when you live your whole life feeling fine then one day wake up with tiny blonde hairs ALL over parts of your body that once were smooth as a baby’s bottom and feel crawling sensations all damn day and bites everywhere making you look like a meth head and u go to the 10 different doctors, all of which literally call you crazy and delusional. In some cases ppl have been sent to a mental hospital for evaluation! Look at morgellons disease for example. That shit is REAL! And they write everyone off with delusional parasitosis! They send them home with NOTHING but a dose of you’re fucking crazy and delusional have a good day! The ones who are suppose to help us! I guess u wouldn’t know how traumatic that is unless you go through it yourself.
    Yes everyone has them but people with low immune systems or oily skin are more prone for an overgrowth. Or maybe even you just go into a store and try on the wrong t shirt one day or have a share a first kiss on a first date and your life is ruined for years if not until you die. All because todays docs are too full of themselves, lazy and ignorant to research anything outside of what they learned in their textbooks 100 yrs ago so it goes left untreated until someone can’t take it no more and offs themself.
    ITS MORE THAN HARMFUL it’s deadly! Even if u don’t die physically. The you that u once were dies and all that exists now is a shell with sores all over it and hollow inside.
    That is all. Lol

      Amen, girl, Amen
      I'm experiencing hair loss as well. My eye has swollen up twice. I could go on and on, meanwhile, getting fused at and told that I'm imagining them. It absolutely is mental abuse. I've literally cried, asking God what purpose these things serve besides sending somebody through the nine layers of hell.

      Yes!!!! I cried reading your comment. Literally my life. I'm so scared to hug my kids. I feel so ashamed. Have u found any more solutions?

      Your doctors are lazy and won't even bother to look under a microscope. Yes, Demodex mites are real and proliferate for many reasons, like immunosuppression and/or drug use. Get Ivermectin any way you can, demand it, and not just one pill. It takes a series of 5 to eliminate Demodex breves and any potential coinfection with scabies. Regardless of warning, you are a mammal and liquid Ivermectin dip is quite effective as well, and you can see it work as soon as you put it on, which gives you peace of mind.

      Have you tried spraying your bare floors with a cedar cleaner?  Trader Joe’s sells an inexpensive one.  Cedar & Sage cleaner.  Also vacuum often.  I had bird mites.

      Kelly, thank you so much for sharing.  O just ran across this forum while researching  the mites that I have, all except Idk wat kind they are.  They seem to come and go.  Or at least I think they've gone, then before you know it they are back.  I have gone thru & still go thru every feeling & attack you have described!!! No one ever believes me. Ppl call me crazy.  Say I was "meth head' & spun stupid. Dr's look at you like ur crazy of start talking to you about addiction.  I was an addict. But I wasn't stupid. I know my body! And I know wen something isn't right.  The only difference so far that I haven't read on  is how this substance is in my hair and falls out onto me or my surroundings & how scary it is to me. I'm scared to death of it and yet can't get away from it I'm scared of my daughter getting it who stayed the week with me and bathed with me and slept iny bed, prior to me getting a magnifying glass and seeing that it is mites.   These seem to build a crust around my cuticles. I cannot stand hard, dry cuticles so idl clip them with nail clippers. Then I feel a light movement or crawling sensation. That's wen I looked with the magnifying glass to find mites!  Running out and back in to my nail beds!!!  I've thought I had a bug before , but like I said  ppl ridiculed me saying ur just high or  smoke dum more u dope head or something like that. My son wouldn't hit me but would be very intimidating to me about it. My sister has came iny room and pinned me to the bed threatening to hit me over it thinking I had relapsed or was bothering my mother with it.  I'm 54 yrs old.  I'm not a child. But wen the Dr first diagnosed me with stress eczema (d/y my nails) I thought the whole family was gonna disown me. It's the worse feeling ever because there is no one to talk. Yo about it or ur to embarrassed to tell ppl about it.  Scared of someone at work seeing it . Mine are all over body & hair. No one had ever really taken me serious about it. And wen they did and referred me on to s dermatologist they acted like they were to good or  something to touch me so they barely raised my hair and looked, without a magnifying glass, and said no, there's nothing there and that was that. The Dr that treated me last week didn't believe and it wasn't until I went off on her for getting to the pharmacy to see no med was ordered for it that then ivermectin was finally ordered.asking for a tube of permethrin was like asking for her life.  I.  So I did take it and I believe it has helped but still waiting to take a second dose. I don't eat much , and want something I can eat with a spoon or fork.  It's to easy for them to even go down the utensil into my food.  I can't sleep.  That's wen it's the scariest, at night  bBut anyway now I don't feel so alonei am afraid was coagious what kind of was if I had to have all family members treated if it there was something I needed to do specifically to get rid of it in the home nothing.  Can you tell me if this ,"substance" drops off you and or ur surroundings and have you ever seen a towel or washcloth like ""breathing" or shoelaces move by themselves?  This stuff also stings like a bite and hurts during showers.  I'm so afraid of it and not gonna lie, I don't want to live the rest of my life this way. . I'm so petrified of spiders and these seem very spider like.  No one will help me & it pisses of everyone wen I talk about it.  I thank you
