Itching Then Lumpy
by Connie Johnson
(Chatsworth, CA)
About a month ago I started itching around my ankles after awaking from sleep. I though it was bed bugs but found none (sprayed anyway).
I would scratch the itch and my skin would rise as in a mosquito bite, that's why I say itching then lumpy.
Now my husband has it and he says he feels like something crawling inside his blood. I don't feel it that way. I just itch and scratch, a welt comes up and it looks like a mosquito bite.
The welts go away soon leaving a little sore that heals quickly. Now the welts appear on my arms and neck and appear anywhere.
My husband is suffering more than me but it's really scary. His doctor says he's not seen it before and gave him Doxepin! Sure, he doesn't itch because he's asleep for a long time. Also I feel a lump under the skin under the itchy area.
Do you think we have a parasite? If so, what kind do you suppose? And, can you suggest a safe, natural body cleanse?

Hi Connie,
It's possible that both you and your husband are suffering from some form of parasite infection that you have passed to each other - easily done.
Since you aren't seeing bite marks, I assume that it isn't bed bugs, mites, or fleas.
Have you had anything different done around the house some time before you started experiencing these itching then lumpy symptoms? House or garden sprayed? New bedding? Anything new with chemicals, cleaning products, etc?
Sometimes we can have a toxic reaction to something we've been exposed to that we would never suspect.
Since your husband feels like he has
the crawling in the blood, there's a good chance you've picked up a bacteria or micro organism somewhere along the way.
Yes, I can recommend a safe natural body cleanse -
Herbal Fiberblend. Get a few pots of the HFB for each of you and cleanse for 3 months. It's easy to do - just mix the powder in juice twice per day.
I would also suggest you get some
Florafood. This is the friendly bacteria that your body needs to keep your immune system strong and able to fight off invading unfriendly bacterias. By taking a couple Florafood capsules with each meal, you've got a much better chance of getting relief much more quickly.
I hope your husband will get off the Doxepin ASAP. I know most guys like immediate relief from their condition regardless of the long term consequences (My husband is the same way!), but that stuff has so many nasty side effects that come along with it. It's not a viable solution. It absolutely doesn't get rid of the problem, only hides it so you don't notice it getting worse and worse.
I don't know if you like garlic, but if you do, try to add more into your daily diet. Garlic is a natural anti-fungal and blood cleaner. If you don't like garlic, take
Bear Paw Garlic capsules if you like. They are even more effective than the raw garlic because they are more potent.
I hope you can get on this right away and get some relief soon. Try not to scratch! :) I know, easier said than done. I've been there!
Keep me posted on your itching then lumpy situation. :)
To your good health!Angie
