I as well have two children, and am experiencing these symptoms. I wanted to know… was it filariasis? Did your children get it? Could I ask you some questions? I just ordered a labcorp test for parasite and microfilarie panel out of pocket. I have this lint coming from my hands and I feel things In my bottom all day. We've taken the pin worm medicine and it gives temporary relief. Were you all cured? How? Please… I am desperate. I did get doxycycline from my GP for the skin issues … but the other symptoms

I live in Florida with my husband and 3 kids. Life was perfectly normal until I took in a deathly ill call from a wildlife preserve. Within a month -first, I thought I had a panic attack cause my heart was erratic. Then I felt generally nauseous. Then the crawling I thought it was fleas, then lice, then scabies ..it can make a perfectly healthy person insane very quickly. It was everywhere. My hair, ears, nose, arms, back, stomach, privates. It has no boundaries. I tried everything. Lice treatments, repellents, bleach baths, every lotion you can think of, essential oils, neem, garlic, I dipped myself and pets in Lime sulfur. 9 months of torture. I lost 24 lbs. Insomnia. My family saw it all, but every doctor can't see it. If you mentioned crawling, the Drs write you off as crazy. They won't treat anything, not it the “textbooks.”
It's probably 3 am, and you're desperately searching for an answer, so I'll cut to what worked for me.
You have a parasite.
If things are coming out of your skin, it could be Schitosmias or Filariasis. (Cutaneous, intestinal or urinary ) look them up. See if your symptoms match or not.
1- take control. Get online and order your own labs. Stool tests, Lyme panel, parasites panel, and filariasis. Parasite urine test. Requestatest.com. Approx $600 for all. If you can get a dr to do it, then great. But I was tired of running to the “experts “ while I was suffering, and my family caught it. If you want to go the dr route - look up travel medicine doctors on zoc doc. They will know a lot more than regular drs.
2- get the vials from the labs.
3- take Reese pinworm medication 3 days in a row. Start ParaSmart or any other 15 day cleanse you like. But get one with good reviews.
Check stools daily. If they' are there you'll know it. If it's a common worm it will show up in the stool or blood test. If it's not - it won't. Only common worms are in O&P tests. It gets tricky to get a diagnosis if it not a common parasite.
4- if you are not able to get a diagnosis from your doctor- parasite cleanse for 3 months. It's the only way to kill live ones, then larvae, last month is hatched eggs. Then do a 15 day cleanse every 6 months - forever.
5- if things are coming out of your skin you are contagious via the eggs hand to mouth. It's almost impossible to not to
Use your hands - no hands in chip bags, taking pills, washing Vegatables. Etc. I know because 4 people got infected even though I moved into my own room and bathroom and didn't let anyone near me. Still if you cook their food they can get it or if you have pets and you see the signs they have it - it's almost impossible to stop the cycle. They are all shedding eggs too and each of you on a different cycle.
6- if you have pets - they need both Pravecto and Praziquantel which you have to insist they get. Also 3 treatments- 1 each month. I'm not a dr or a vet. But this is what has worked for me after so much research trail and error, talking to drs and vets and a lot of money.
7- only wear clothes once and change sheets and towels every day. Wear clothes so you don't leave on chairs, couches etc. Double dry with dryer sheets. The stuff on your body can come off in clothes etc. Spray high touch surfaces with disinfectant. Vacuum every day. If they are scratching and the vet can't figure out why, and you may see white things that look like litter in their beds, it's them. Don't let them sit on your furniture. Use sheets and change daily.
8- your goal is always to get a diagnosis from a dr. But I know they write you off as crazy, or they don't want the liability of treating something and “refer “ you to another dr. Skip regular drs. Only travel medicine drs will know.
Some things that help but are not the cure:
1- Vaseline to suffocate them out
2- sulfur 10 ointment to suffocate them out
3- pure garlic essential oil and oregano essential oil with hydrated coconut oil 50/50.
4- sterifab for cleaning - even your car
5- Vicks vapor rub for ears and nostril to keep them away.
6- AD ointment for privates to keep them away.
Do those areas first before any thing else.
7- neutragena coal tar shampoo for 10 minutes gets them out of hair but then yikes! All in the back where you can't reach.
8- saline nose spray - big can with lavender. If it's bad use Navage nasal cleanser as much as possible.
9- ivermectin- go to plush.com. Tell them you have scabies and permathrin didn't work and can you have a dose of ivermectin.
Always try to get the right diagnosis. But a cleanse can only help anyway.
If you live with someone - Assume they have it and treat every one at once.
Best of Luck for a speedy recovery.
