I put have a vile of alcohol and half Hydrogen Peroxide and put all over active area...shere crawling occurring - for me a lot of it starts in the feet and legs so I smear it all over there...seems to keep them from crawling at night - it's a lot cheaper than TTO and seems to work as well or better. The TTO price has shot up recently...must be a lot of people with this stuff, it's driving the price thru the roof.
Also, found two homeopathics that in combination at least for me stop them from crawling - got 9 hours sleep last night from using them and the alcohol... Arsenicum Album - 30c or x and also Nux Vomica - 30c or x... seem to work so far... I've gotten a lot of relief over time using the homeos...I'm convinced therein will lie our cure - it vibrates throughout the entire body and will kill them when we find the right one...also, if people get samples of these critters you can get a remedy made out of the worms themselves and that would kill them right off!

How much is a "vile"?
EC: Nan probably meant to write: "half a vial", not "have a vile".
"A vial (also phial) is a relatively small glass vessel or bottle, especially used to store medication as liquids, powders or in other forms like capsules. They can also be sample vessels e.g. for use in autosampler devices in analytical chromatography." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vial

Have tried a million things...the latest and best so far is psorinum 200c, a homeopathic remedy that is quite powerful....when I took the 3 small tabs I literally felt these things cramp up in my feet and around my body...it was amazing...they hated it and it was harming them. I felt only slight movement most of the day...Unfortunately w/homeos one cannot eat strong tasting foods like mint, no chocolate/coffee because it dulls the affects. and I foolishly partook of some coffee and lost a little steam... Happily I made a water solution of psorinum by putting 1-2 of the small tabs in about 3/4 c of water and you have to put in a jar and pound the jar a bit to transfer the psorinum into the water and then I put some of that water on my face....it immediately killed oodles of the face mites. Homeopathy vibrates so it doesn't necessarily have to touch something to kill it...it may go down into the skin further than the surface...but it worked amazingly on the mites. I also put the water all over my body and it seemed to work to calm the morgs all over....but not 100%. Definately gave more sanity though, because after the new moon they were going crazy and I was quite alarmed...seemed monthly they were worsening. There are stronger solutions of psorinum...1m & 10m and I imagine they might work quite well in water on the skin as well. You should work w/a homeopath with psorinum as it is strong...I was at first a little scared when I took the first pills and their reaction was so vehement...it's nice to know you have someone you can call ...it can be antidoted by putting something w/camphor in it on your or smell it. I think psorinum may be our answer to this monstrosity...but it's all technique...dose, frequency of use, length of use...and sticking to a good diet and not ruining the homeo w/coffee, cinnamon or mint (toothpaste) or something...you can look for a list online of things you can't use while on homeopathics....if someone finds the right dose/freq, etc...please post...and I will let you know when I know more. Sulphur homeo is another possibility.... lycopodium or thuja for the spores/fungalReplied By Carol (Austin, Tx) on 08/16/2010
Just a warning.... I saw a video the other day that warned against using Hydrogen Peroxide for Morgellons.... It showed that the parasite actually responded to Hyd Per by growing in size immediately... I wondered why these worms grew so fast in me... When they are confronted w/certain elements they respond to them by increasing in size... I've stopped using the peroxide and they seem to have diminished in size and they seem weaker.... I've also added essential oils to my TTO solution... peppermint/lavendar/lemon/camphor/cinnamon/clove and others - they hate it and stops their movement esp while you sleep (remember to wrap in glad wrap though so it stays on your skin throughout the night.... Just something to think aboutReplied By Carol (Raleigh, Nc) on 08/28/2010
Recently I've mainly used TTO but put peppermint essential oil and lavendar on the skin directly more every day and then top off w/the TTO.... I've also been taking Echinacea & Goldenseal tabs... Great herbal antibiotics... Lavendar and peppermint are known to kill worms... Usually internally... One can take a drop of peppermint with a little water internally too but I'm mostly putting on skin.... I've noticed great improvement with these oils... They are defininately killing off... The smaller parasites first and the larger ones are weakenening... Very happy w/results - the best I've experienced since I met these monsters 4 yrs ago... I'm hopeful this might finish them off... I also take Nat Phos (suppose to work on long worms) and Silica is also good for worms.... I've found a good homeopathic parasite killer tooo from Newton Homeopathics... I think the essential oils are doing most of the work though.... Happy hunting! Try this I think you will get great relief... Particularly if you are new to this disease. I've also cleaned off my face excellently w/ homeopathic waters of graphites and psorinum.... From 30C to 10M... And LM it can be mixed in water and pounded (look online for directions) You can get these remedies at Present Moments online... Psorinum requires homeo RX however. Best of Luck to all of you suffering from.... Do not despair... We will conquer this in spite of the medical industry!

I've recently weaned myself off the TTO on the skin... It begins to become a problem because all you are ultimately doing is driving this deeper into your skin and this is not good. I do mix homeopathic "waters".... When I take 1-2 c of water into a breakproof bottle and pound various remedies into the water (Cina 30-200) - I've read this has killed filarial (30) and heterohabdus (200) worms... Silica (6-200)Cleans things out of skin... Graphite (30-200) Sulphur, Psorinum, Arsenicum are a few I've used... Gives relief (vibrates thru the skin so has deeper reach than mere TTO)... I'm saving a ton of $$$ my TTO budget was reaching well over $100/mo and just couldn't afford anymore. But wanted to mention here too that I'm also trying magnets... They seem to weaken them... I tried these since some think there is a nano nature to this disease - thought it would disorient and disempower them perhaps and has helped... They do abandon areas you put the magnets... I want to buy magnetic wraps to cover larger areas as it is now... I find the soles for the shoes has helped the foot area where they harbored and I need wraps for the knees... They like to hide where there are hollow areas in your body. I believe it has killed some of the smaller worms but still have larger... I would hope you aren't using hydrogen peroxide as I believe they respond to it by growing faster... I've seen videos online to that show this... It was my experience that the TTO and Alcohol and Hydrogen Peroxide only made them procreate faster and run to the head and other areas you couldn't use it... If we all keep sharing info and experiences it should help ultimately solve this.Replied By Nan (Mpls, Mn) on 02/25/2011
I have tried everything.... Many things work for a day or more weeks... But the cure is elusive. I tried something recently that I've tried before but didn't pay attention and didn't know what to look for... If it didn't healme immediately I thought it wasn't working, not realizing this thing will take months if not years to lick... I have different eyes now and know that if I feel worse that might be a good thing. I took Olive Leaf Extract the other day because I put a lotion on my face that had some in it and it seemed to kill alot of the facial stuff... Then I decided to take it orally too... I have noticed a stepping up in activity of the worms or whatever the H@*! They are... It frightened me, but then I thought maybe this Olive Leaf is upsetting them and killing the smaller ones... It sure worked well on the skin... Everything I pull out of my face now is dead... Always good.... Try Olive Leaf.... It was the herb the dove brought to Noah on the Ark... Must be good huh?! But take 2 500 mg capsules 3-4x a day with meal... Keep at it for a long time... No matter... It's potent stuff. Might kill all of it... Something will we just have to find it. I don't believe there is ever "no cure" for anything it's just a matter of finding it. Also homeopathy will give relief... When these things attacked the other day because they hate Olive Leaf I held a bottle of 10M Psorinum and they stopped in their tracks and I had a good nights sleep... Cina, Teucrium, Sulphur, Arsenicum, na Phos, Silica are some to consider... Happy hunting!Replied By Nan (Mpls, Mn) on 03/16/2011
Another new development.... I took only one dose of homeopathic Thuja Occi 30x and the next time I put petroleum jelly on face to clear out... Suddenly found lots of green stuff coming out coloring the jelly green... Thuja is known to kill fungus... So obviously there is fungus in there too and it handily killed it... So take Thuja we probably have a fungal component throughout the body too... Have also read that Cina 200 (homeopathic) will kill filarial worms and to me this parasite has a lot of symptoms similar to filarial worms... Also read that homeopathic Hydrocotyle is for elephantiasis which is from filarialReplied By Tatiana (Aurora, Ontario, Canada) on 06/03/2011
PLEASE STOP PRESCRIBING YOURSELF HOMEOPATHY! It can be as useful as dangerous. There is no universal prescription for everyone even for same condition.
Taking right remedy TOO OFTEN often you can aggravate your state. It is unique for everyone, but as a common rule - do not take high potencies 200CH, 1M more often than once in 3-4 weeks.
Do not take 30CH every day for a long period.
If you are in crisis - put few pills in a bottle with water (3 standard pills for 100ml) and shake well before each intake - take only a spoon of that water in mouth. Basically, do not repeat remedy while it works. Repeat only if it helped but the effect is losing (if it is a right remedy).
Come to a homeopath!

I went to homeopaths.... Spent $150 per visit with no results.... I do better on my own. This thing is so multi-faceted it is very difficult.. I've studied homeopathy for the past 17 yrs and am fairly well-versed in it.... I've suffered no harm from any of it.... It is certainly safer than hardcore antibiotics (5 at a time).
I've gone to doctors 3 and only lost money and received no assistance - only made more upset and depressed because they have apparently been instructed to tell us all we are crazy and should immediately get on their "crazy" pills... No thanks! - we are on our own on this one.... It's likely going to kill us if we don't cure it.... I'll take my chances w/homeopathy...its safer than anything else we have access to.... It is certainly better than self-administering animal worm killers from feed stores! I won't take strong homeopathics w/o a homeopath and I do have one I consult but he has been of limited help. The water applications on skin have helped tremendously and seem quite harmless....

Latest development in the fight against this evil affliction.... boiled a bunch or two of parsley in 1-2 quarts water... Bring to boil and then simmer 3 mins... Wring water out of parsley into pot and throw away.... Then refrigerate water and take 1 tsp per 10 lbs in AM & PM.... It really weakened them and I believed killed even some of larger ones... Great improvement... Clears out your system too (on two occasions found lrg dead worm in toilet).... Also Cina 30 seems the most effective homeopathic so far (200 seems to make worse)... And Teucrium 200... These are definately two key remedies... Also Vermi Fuge (homeopathic you can find online) and VER (homeopathic)... I have this on the way - could really work... It actually has the nosode of many worms in it which could kill them straight away if it has the right worms in it! Nat Phos cell salt creates more alkaline environment which helps, Belladonna (homeopathic only) will kill agrobacterium component, and I have some strong Allicin/Garlic tablets on the way.... Garlic will always help you when you're having a tough day.... It does diminish the influence of homeopathics so take hours apart.... but definately drives them into submission at least as long as its in your systemj, may need to increase intake w/time...make sure the garlic has lots of allicin it though.... Also helps heart and cholesterol as well as many things in the body... Garlic is great for good health! Crushed garlic on the skin kills whatever it touches straight away... Also take thuja for fungal aspect, which many think is part of morgellons.... Homeopathic ear and eye drops availabale at Walmart.... I also use multipurpose eye solutions (for contacts) in eyes as boric acid content helps kill them in eyes. It is unbelievable that the medical industry has left us all to twist in the wind with this one.... But we're definately on our own w/it..... Herbs that have helped are Olive Leaf, Cats Claw (TOA-free better), Echinacea, some say Gota Kola helps....

Try Dr Bronner's Peppermint Soap... I've heard people saying to use this for some time, but it has really slowed the buggers down.... It really kills the mites... I put it in bath (pretty strong dilution)... Used it for shampoo.... And just plain put it straight on my body.... Excellent results and its safe and smells good... I think its pretty effective and if you then continue to attack them from within with garlic or what have you they have to get out to skin area and hopefully will be damaged by the peppermint oil and other ingredients.... You could also add other oils to the mis like eucalyptus, tea tree, lavendar (will relax you too), cedarwood also useful, etc. I'm going to kill these buggers.... If it kills me!!!

OMG.... For years I have had these THICK BLACK ROOTLESS "hairs" coming out of my face. Sometimes in specks. It got worse, 3 weeks ago.... 2 weeks ago, I looked up "fibers coming out of face" and for the first time heard of Morgellons. I never really paid attention to it, but have ALL the symptoms listed online.... And started watching as green and red, blue and purple fibers came out. I put olive oil on my face and it really started sending them out, with lesions that will not heal until all the crap works its way out. I thought I had big spider veins on my face that I have had lazered in the past. Now I have 3" black fibers that are twisted up with what looks like a mosquito or some kind of bug, in the middle of them, working their way out. Not spider veins at all! I have many other things that look like weird little alien bugs coming out... In various colors. Did you ever go to sleep.... And wake up and think you are in the twilight zone? And hope to wake up.... But every day is worse.... Like if the twilight zone and groundhog day were mashed together into a 3 week movie? I actually laughed when I stumbled on Morgellons disease..... But it is very real. Everyone out of the very few people I have told about it, said go to the Dr. NO WAY! I see how people have been treated! I have quite a weird collection of things that I've gotten out of my skin..... My husband thought I was nutz until he pulled a few "doubled green hairs" out of my skin! He has seen enough and knows what I am dealing with. WHAT DO I DO???
I am so new to this.... And am really scared. I have weird dots on my eyes.... For a while now. 2 nights ago it felt like something crawling into my eye..... I looked between my lashes and found this weird red aiein looking spider thing still moving. I have felt like something is in my eyes for a long time, but we can never find anything. This crap is freaking me out! HELP!!! I am a very logical and bright person... And am not in any way crazy.

Some things for immediate relief -
- Thursday plantation tea tree soap
- regular or maximum strength thera neem soap
- dettol soap (orange kind)
- Dr. Bronners peppermint soap
- A good liquid muli - vitimin
- at night - coconut oil in ears and on face
- try a bath with apple cider vinegar or baking soda
- Drink five 8 ounces of water a day.
- Avoid overly sugery foods.
- Relax, don't let yourself worry, obsess.

I contracted itchy skin parasites in the mid 90's. The itching, biting, skin eruptions, rashes nearly ruined my life. Fortunately I discovered a diet that I named the King Diet that made life bearable. I published it on the internet and found many other sufferers benefited from the diet as well. In the early part of the new century several words were being thrown about to diagnose what we had. The words were:
Morgellons, Collembola, Spring Tails, Strongyloides stercoralis
Some sufferers claimed that there was no such thing as Morgellons and that we all suffered from Strongyloides stercoralis (a rare nematode). Through communication with hundreds of sufferers I came to realize that while some symptoms are the same for everyone, there are distinct symptoms for each parasite and that we are indeed dealing with three distinct types of skin parasites:
Morgellons
Collembola--also known as spring tails
Strongyloides stercoralis
Personally I had both collembola and Strongyloides stercoralis and am one of the first to sucessfully get my life back to normal again.

Richard, what did you do to get your life back to normal? I believe I also have collembola and strongaloids. My husband pointed out to me that he isn't being bitten. He said maybe its because of the lotion he's been using. G--- B--- foot cream helped his calluses but then he tried it on his long-standing psoriasis. That totally cleared up. He uses it every morning on his feet, legs and arms. I sometimes rub it on his back. So I tried the cream on my arm and suddenly a bunch of whitestuff came out. Now I shower, air dry off, apply the cream head to toe, wait a few minutes then start rubbing that stuff out of my skin. I do this in the shower after sprinkling borax on the floor just in case something alive pops out. But I don't know what's going on. What all is coming out? It just looks like clumps of the white cream but harder. When I'm tired from rubbing it I rinse off with warm water. Can someone explain to me what may be coming out and if you think this is helpful?Replied By Angel (Mi, US) on 05/03/2014
I have been dealing with Morgellons since 2008. For almost a year I didn't know what it was. I went to a MD in Chicago who knew and she helped me to get an understanding. I have been on many meds and protocols and what I has helped me is the Hydrogen Peroxide (Food Grade) 3 drops in a glass of distilled water 3 times a day. It has really moved this stuff out. If you think you have Morgellons ...sugar is not your friend at all. I use NuStevia a brand of Stevia that tastes really good to me. Fruits can be a problem also .
Yes, you need to build your immune system up, take a good multi-vitamin (I like liquid or powders because this disease also compromises your digestive system) . Good old vaseline closes up your pores so whatever this stuff is gets smothered and also Castor Oil ...(yes, it smells a bit but oh what a relief). I am sooooo much better now.

A New Year, life with Morgellons/ Lyme.
I am on year 4 since the full blown attack. At first the biting, ears ringing near water faucet (that's a weird symptom, but I have seen others ask about it), losing hair, sounding crazy ( Morgellons has hosed out my lists of friends and family), not completely a bad time I guess. But now I have hideous hurting sores. I am going to try laser facials. Anyone tried this yet? Please try vinegar and equal water mix, over your head after shampoo, massage in a leave in a few minutes. It does stop the crawling/ itching. I have had four years and many doctors looking stupid to me to realize. People, this is Lyme on steroids. The sores, Bartonela den deep research on FDA or CDC - it stated if patient had Lyme symptoms, they should be retested multiple times if test was negitive. Haha, how about telling that to the AMA and our sweet insurance companies. I also found one brave soul that wrote the gov. about Morgellons. We need to all write! This is a ridiculous way to live. I can say yes to pulling and touching these sores, because our instinct is to remove vectors! I would appreciate any help on healing sores. Thanks, and lets all start writing the gov and get some help for a change!

This thing creates biofilms thats why I couldnt get the strange things from beneath the scalp out until I used an shampoo from loreal that enters the hair shafts as one of the componants mixed with real pure cayan cinnomin bark , I wore the cinnemon on my scalp first for 2 days, than I added the shampoo with hot water and let it sit in. Than I combed these yellow soft rock looking things that were under the scalp out by pressed on the scalp while brushing, they all came out, my scalp feels normal. The hairs were still alive, than I was reading someone had success with NAC n-acetyl an over the counter at the pharmacy. I took that today for the internal......it takes mucus out. If this is a bioinsecticed we dealing with that has bio films. bio films need to be opened inorder to attack them. But also most women seem to get this so maybe all of u have some low iron or something that triggered it. But either way, peppermint and a hairdryer also helps a ton, it kills many of them.

This question is for Diana. I keep seeing that borax should be used/consumed with distilled water. Do you use distilled water? Also, I am highly allergic to most all things on the planet and I am really scared to take a bath with borax. I put some on my forearms 2 days ago to see how my skin would react and it burned slightly after rinsing the stuff off. I didnt dare put it on my face. Is it normal to burn the skin at first? How much did you use in your bath? I have had morgellons for about a year and its getting worse daily. I am doing a parasite cleanse now and I am on day #2. I am going to start taking DE today and I have already been alkalizing for months. I need some instant skin relief from the crawling and biting. This may be a silly question, but are the bites coming from inside out, or outside in?? I am so totally grossed out by this whole thing. I dont know what I will do when this parasite cleanse kicks in. I am terrified of what will come out of my body as well as what is IN my body and constantly moving around. Oh God!!!

I've had similar experience and just discovered the topic of Morgellon's. I'm flabergasted, but relieved to see I am not the only one. Feels like I am delusional whenever I find these creatures on my chin and feel them moving under my skin. I've had brain fog, and have been diagnosed and treated for Fibromyalgia for several years. When I went off all the pharmaceuticals, suffered two years of chronic IBS with diarrhea daily, lost 65 pounds, and had horrible break out (2 occasions) of intensely itchy skin rash on arms and abdomen. Now, for a very long time (years), I've had lesions on my chin with the fibers/filaments described for Morgellon's. I'm sure if I went to the VA, they would admit me for delusions. Also have very loud Tinnitus and difficulty following conversations. Hope those of us with Morgellon's can help each other and get rid of this nuisance!
