I've started having problems 5 years ago. I went to the desert with my hausband  for a few hours and then came home and we went in the attic to take a few boxes down.  That night i started itching and for months i just wanted to die.  I scratched myself raw and have so many scars to prove it.  Then after 2 month or so it went to my scalp.  Everyone tells me its just my nerves.  But i know better.  I can take a shower  and feel them coming off but then they start biting me.  They don't die.  No matter how lomg i'm in the shower i can't get rid of all of them.  It's like they just jump back in me.  I hope someone knows what i'm talking about and can help me.  All the doctors i've gone to just think i'm crazy.  Thank you.  Linda

You should ask your doctor to send you to a center for infectious diseases such as the NIH. Most doctors do not have experience with diseases that are not local. I think there is also one in Atlanta Georgia.

I think it would be better for you to contact your local Board of Health and discuss your problem with them. They would certainly know who to contact about your problem. You should take into account that doctors are most familiar with local illnesses and do their best with those not familiar to them because they lack the experience. The two centers I mentioned are U.S. government agencies that collect disease information from all over the world and would be best in helping your doctor resolve your problem.

Parasites: Eating Us Alive (3/6)

A Documentary from the Discovery Channel 2003© As Seen On TV (US) Parasites: Eating Us Alive SUMMARY: While many of us harbor secret fears of vicious or venomous animals, most are unaware that some of the deadliest creatures on Earth live right on and even inside us: microscopic parasites. Take a fascinating tour of a hidden, miniature world that will make your skin crawl. Under the microscope, parasitic life forms resemble something out of a horror movie, but not all are deadly. Learn about the minute, harmless insects that live in our hair, under our skin and even on our eyelashes. Meet the microscopic, one-celled protozoa that live within our blood cells, causing diseases like malaria and killing millions of people annually. Perhaps most fascinating about these invaders are their incredible life cycles and survival strategies. They can adapt faster than we can attack and have shown a remarkable immunity to treatment, often turning our body's best defenses against us.
