Do I have skin parasites?
Since cleaning out some dusty cabinets in a building that contain all types of spiders, roaches and mice, I began feeling that something is crawling on my skin and head.
On occasion, I even feel like something is biting me. However, I have not been able to see anything, even with a magnifying glass.
I've showered several times but the feelings continue (as if things are crawling on me). I do not see any evidence of bites (no redness or rashes).
Could I have picked something up? This has gone on for several days. It's a nuisance and I do not want to infest my house with something.
Hi Milt and Pete,
Of course it's possible that you could have picked up some type of parasite while cleaning out the dusty old building.
It's also possible that just the presence of the spiders, roaches, and mice has played on your subconscious enough to make you feel like something's crawling on you, etc. :)
Have you ever started discussing the subject of head lice and very soon your own head starts itching like crazy? That happens to me regularly. It's just the power of suggestion.
Now, I'm NOT saying that it's all in your head! I'm just saying that you should realistically consider the possibility.
You asked, "Do I have skin parasites?" I can't tell you one way or the other, of course. Just because you can't see them, doesn't mean they aren't there.
There could have been dust mites that you breathed in, mold in the air, and various other parasitic possibilities.
I'd suggest you start by taking some good quality probiotics, something like
Florafood. These are the good and friendly bacteria that live in your body and help fight off parasites.
You may also benefit by a nice bath with a couple of cups of organic apple cider vinegar in the water. You can even add a tablespoon of the ACV to a glass of water and drink it once or twice per day.
I'd try those two options first and see if this sensation you're experiencing doesn't go away.
If you are still having troubles after a week of probiotics and ACV baths, I would then consider a good cleanse using
Herbal Fiberblend and/or
Para 90.
Let me know if you get rid of the creepy-crawlies! :)
To your good health!Angie
