Question: I feel things crawling on me and biting me but I can't see anything. Help, I am about to go crazy!

Answer: Many are reporting being attacked by a near-microscopic biting mite that leaves the skin red, itchy, or stinging and covered in a patchy rash. Some have been plagued for months, even years. Here are some of the symptoms that have been reported:

Stinging bites (sometimes over entire body). Often starts in pubic area of the body.

Crawling sensation on the skin - even the scalp.

Described like tiny pin-pricks, stings or bites and often cannot be seen, but definitely felt.

Symptoms worsen at night, and in some cases severe itching and biting on the skin will disturb sleep patterns.

Described looking like flecks of black pepper. Black small things that look almost like a piece of hair. You feel something crawling on you and when you brush it away it looks like a piece of hair. But you find yourself itching.

In some cases, they can change colors (red, green or blue - even irridescent). Some have also described a glitter like appearance.

One or more family members are affected.

Reports of threadlike-filament worms burrow into the skin. The filament has a hook on one end that is attached into the body and is whitish in color.

Reports of the microscopic mites can inhabit the eyebrows, eyelashes, mouth, nose and ears.

They seem to reproduce in cotton clothing.

Complaints that the mites inhabit the inside of the body, and is seen in bowel movements.

Can reproduce on inanimate objects in the home (furniture, ceiling, walls).

Causes the person to feel fatigued, lethargic, reduced appetite, digestive problems.

Seems to be particularly bothersome in eyelashes and eyebrows (especially at night).

Appearance is like lint or fibers.
