Need Help for Mites on Body

Posted By Kelly (Waterbury Ct) on 07/18/2016

So I have had the same thing everyone else seems to have. I've had it since the last week of Jan of 2016. I had heart surgery about a year ago. I'm turning 40 this year. I haven't found a cure but cedar wood oil and Vicks has been helping me lessen them so I can shut my eyes. I have to sleep with head phones on my ears playing music. These things are all over me. It sucks. I'm not only battling with medical stuff now I'm plagued. I hear them popping or doing something around my ears. No one believes me in my family and no one was being bothered by them. Until my 4 year started scratching and had mini bumps all over her chest and back. I'm hoping she doesn't cause she is autistic and sensitive to things already. For myself I feel like I'm losing it. What I need to know has anyone found any on there body. As tiny as they are. Some can't see. But I have picked or started getting tape to get samples. I have no clue who I would show or turn for help. Anyone. And if you have found some that you were able to see what color or what do they look like?

Ok helpful hint after you get a good collection of samples you can go to vetdna.com under pest control then under what's biting me tabs you can find the test kits. Buy them and then put the samples on the swabs don't put them in tape put them in a glass jar or something, easier to test that way, then you pay for them to test the DNA of the bug you can do 7 tests on 3 swabs for 75$. Additional tests are 20$ each they only keep the samples for 30 days so be prepared to spend a few hundred dollars but results will help you identify what your fighting in the meantime do borax and magnesium and salt baths like others have posted. Use castor oil to get eggs after the bath Vaseline or coconut oil to calm things down between baths. I'm going to a infared sauna this week for the first time hoping that can speed up my recovery. Been suffering for 11 months so I know how you feel and I'm sorry this is happening. Good luck.
