At wits end and help requested for familys itching

Posted By Mia (Pretoria, South Africa) on 10/27/2013

Hi, my family is at its wits' end, so sorry for the random email, I'm taking chances. My parents have suffered from this for years after dirty carpets at work made the whole office itch. It spread to my dad, 25 years ago, and suddenly, 1.5 years ago, us 3 kids started experiencing the same symptoms. Severe itching, all over the body, worse at night. No rashes or any visual symptoms. The itching increases, some of the itches would escalate to "stings" that feels like something biting me under my skin. Also permanent feelings of something crawling on our skin. Scratching helps, but the itching permanently jumps from spot to spot. My mom found out bathing with a bit of eucalyptus oil relieves it for a while ( she bathes 3 times a day now) and I found out covering our matresses with plastic makes sleeping bearable. Is it bugs living on our skin, in our furniture, on our clothes?

This is ruining our lives. Any help is appreciated.

Mia

Hello Mia from Pretoria,

This sounds like a mite infestation. Most mite species are microscopic. There is a lot on Earth Clinic on remedies for attacking such infestations. Look under Ailments: Mite Infestation...much discussion on Apple Cider Vinegar, Boron and others.

From your description the problem does not ring of fungal, but go to the section under Ailments and look at fungal infections just to make sure the symptoms do not match. The fungal "surface" infections can manifest with not only itching and crawling sensations but outcroppings of the fungus itself...and shows in colored growth from the skin! (Sounds like a horror movie...but you made no mention of such symptoms.)

That is why I think the cause is a mite infestation rather than fungal.
