I tried a lot of different remedies, but the only thing I found that worked was ASH. Morning and evening, and sometimes during the day all over my body. Its simply too dry for them to survive. I would boil my clothes, wash it with vinegar and 10-15 drops of eucalyptus essential oil plus borax. For the bed I had a spray bottle (1 liter) with water and 10-20 drops of eucalyptus oil and another bottle with a chemical used to kill insects and parasites for animals.
For everyone having this difficult experience, I wish you all the best and assurance that there is a way out. I had some nights crying myself to sleep and feeling like this was just life now, but I am free from them now. Also be aware of the fact of it being psychosomatic. So any way that works for you to calm the mind down really helps. The fear of them still being there, when they might not be is very real. I found that weed helped me a lot, both with sleeping and calming my mind down. And I have a feeling that the way it affects the short term memory helped the muscle memory of the parasites on my body to be less severe.
All the best
EC: Hi John, thank you so much for the feedback.We can't find this parasite on Google. When we search "siso parasite", or "siso parasito", nothing comes up. Can you please send us the full English name of the parasite? Thank you!

NIH documentation of this parasite - called Intestinal Parasitosis. You can get some info in the following link to the National Institution of Health shown below. If you look up parasitosis you will get a lot of info on different sites.Replied by Ronnie from Abingdon, MD on 08/07/2022
Hey Jenn! I live in Harford Co, MD. I just recently saw something on the local news about a possible Parasitosis infection. Of course they didn't mention too much but I am concerned. Thanks for the link -- I'll read more about it!Replied by Earth Clinic from on 12/23/2023
Still curious about which parasite he was referring to, we asked ChatGPT.In Peru, especially in the Amazon rainforest region, the parasite described in the post is more likely to be related to a type of fly larva infestation, such as that caused by the botfly (Dermatobia hominis). The botfly is notorious in tropical regions of the Americas, including the Amazon.
The botfly lifecycle involves laying eggs on a host, where the larvae then burrow into the skin. This can cause symptoms such as a sensation of movement under the skin, irritation, and sometimes visible, raised lesions. The larvae remain under the skin for several weeks before they mature and exit to complete their lifecycle.
This type of infestation is known as myiasis, specifically cutaneous myiasis when it involves the skin. The description of the symptoms – larvae that crawl and jump on the skin, especially during certain times of the day – aligns more closely with botfly larvae behavior than with other parasites like hookworms, which cause cutaneous larva migrans but do not create the sensation of jumping or crawling on the skin.
