I pray that you are correct in your findings. You make it sound so simple and do encourage me to do a few things around my home. My mother just left here a few hours ago and called immediatley to tell me to put DE down over every carpeted area in my home. She said she had not had any bites lately until she came to my home for a few minutes. I do pray you are correct. Thank you for your comment. I'm sure most here think "yeah rite". Anything is worth a try.

let me clear a few things up here, if i may.. its not a star wars thing, its not any kind og geneticly altered bug, no twilight zone junk here, ok? God made bugs same as he made humans, and trees and all the other things you see around you. all they are are simple pantry bugs, they start out in your flour,cereal, bird seed, dog food, etc,etc..they start out almost too tiny to see, little black speck in your food.you know that cabnet in your kitchen that everybody has that you havent clened in years? yeah, that one drawer/cabnet that we all think we should clean one of these days, buit never do...THATS where they start. they go though their morphing stages, like a catapiller to a moth, they end up as tiny little brown flying bugs that almost look like knats..you barely see them out of the corner of your eyes, if the light hits them just right..now, im not gonna say they are not a pain to get rid of, they are! they have their little cycles, so just because you clean once, thats not the end, if you are the unlucky ones that have these,you MUST take everything out of your drawers/cabnets, put all flour/rice/grains,etc into glass jars that have a good lid ,either a screw top or hermetic type, because they can and do go right through the cardboard box and the plastic inside so just putting your staples ( flours,etc) into baggys isnt enough.they need to be in glass jars.these arent expensive, you can get good glass jars at thrift stores,dollar stores,garage sales.
take everything out of all your cabnets, clean with simple soapy water ,dish soap works well, or pine sol,get rid of any shelf liners because they can nest there too. throw out any food with black specks or anything older than 2-3 years that isnt sealed. then clean, celing to floor, a swiffer mop works super well for celings and walls, lightweight and cheap.gets rid of spiderwebs too.polish cabnets with pledge, or whatever brand, then mop floor.
sounds like a lot of work, it is, but only the first time, after that, its easy to keep clean, just be sure to keep all foods in jars or your fridge.your kitchen will smell tons better, too.if you have a really bad problem, look at wallpaper..is it older than 20 years? is it the kind that has glue? get rid of it and paint with a mold repelent paint, home depot,OSH all have paint cheap.
now i know this to be true, in my case at least. my biopsys came saying bug bites. once we changes the crpets and peeled the wallpaper, im actually healing up!! YAY! thank you God!! my problem now is my 84 yr old father that refuses to use these jars, and refuses to throw out things that are older than me (im 42) slowley but surely, as i get more done around here, hes breathing better and we dont have dust storms every other day.
tomorow we are getting the house fumigated, we have termits and subteranian termits. now, everything ive been told and learned says termits do not touch humans, but the pantry bugs sure do if your sensative to them.not everybody will break out.just us 'lucky few'...
yeah, its a lot of work and if you cant do it by yourself, then hire a cleaning crew for a day.. or plan to do this over a weeks span of time.you can do it if your tired of these bugs, it just takes a lot of cleaning at first, but your clean kitchen afterwards makes it all worth
my dad still thinks im crazy, even after 2 skin biopsys by two doctors that say the same thing, even after three exterminators that say that bugs are living in the wallpaper.even after the fact that im finally healing up..he doesnt want to belive it because he hasnt broken out at all, but his skin is way tough,and im adopted so we dont have the same bloodlines .
but please people, dont let anybody make you crazier than you already feel, its no conspirousy, its not a sign from God hes mad, its not any kind of weird thing, its simple bugs... why is it so bad now? because they outlawed the good chemicals that actually killed them.thats why bedbugs are back when they hadnt been heard of for many years.organic chemicals simply dont work. they just dont. there are more people getting sick from the bugs that ever got sick from the chemicals they outlawed!! so there it is there...

You are right about this - they can hurt you. It seems the more aggressive you get they do as well. I have been stung many times in my battle with these things. I too have grabbed one between my finger and thumb trying to catch it before it bores into my skin and I have felt it wriggling to get away and when I look I see nothing. I was so scared I ran to the sink to wash it down. SCARY>

Thank God someone finally brought this up. I have been telling my family some of the things going on. Sceptical but supportive, as always they are with me. However..it is hard to describe, but has anyone else had their water supply tainted?If I do any aggresive cleaning, the water in the sink will have bubbles that pop, are silver/round and shiny and they make a swirling or popping as they swirl around the sink or tub.My roommate cant see them and says it is in my mind. If I put my hand ..or foot near the sink there will immediately be a sharp bite in either a toe or finger. If thy get in plastic they will dissolve into the material.,I think these white moth-like things can suspend themselves until the terrain, or the host , are right for them. The black mites also fuse themselves into material..wood, glass., crystal,And all the chemicals and scrubbing in the world will not budge them. They got into my swifter and the pads.I have found that using toxings both pisses them off and makes them send out for the reseves. And they will attack.I had what I guess was a psychotic breakdown last week after a day of cleaning with peroxide, vinegar, windex, using germ-X on my hands and borax in tubs. I also soaked my swifter in ammonia outside by the garden hose. The day got freakier and freakier. My fell out of the vacuum cleaner and I put it back in upside down and every which way before I got the damn thing closed. 30 min. later I was seeng black dots all over the floor.Vacuumed those, while my feet and fingers kept getting sharp little bites. Long story short, the bubbly things, when touched in the sink you immediately get a slimy feeling to your skin and any object in the water turns cold. Before the night was over I was shffelling across the floor on a towel because the intensity had increased. I couldnt even find a place to lay as my leather couch was full of the things that had fused into the material.They will actually put holes in the material when n you attempt to vacuum them out. I went to my computer after seeing the moth like shapes in the floor. They pulsed l and then formed letters in the carpet. Yalll, I am not a person who is easily scared or irrational. I will post pics of my arm after I cleaned the oven a few weeks ago. I sprayed and a hiss, followed by a brown thin liquid which covered my arm almost made me have to clean more than the oven! When I immediately wiped the liquid away there were leters going down my forearm.I still have pink shiny skin as a result of that.( The neon things are easily seen with a blacklight by the way.)Back to the freaky night thou..I looked down at my wrist as I was on the computer and the vein leading into my hand was a deep brown(moth shaped) and was pulsing very fast. I ran to the BRm and awoke my boyfriend and as I was tryimg to make him understand what was going on I started "snowing" Things like finely grated white cheese wee coming out of me, falling to the floor and covering my arms and gown. They got faster,so I threw on clothes and left the house against his wishes, Everything I touched inside had begun to get that cold feeling that I associated with the moths, so I knew I had to get out of that enviroment. Here it was 3;30 am and I am walking down the center of the road with this stuff furling out of my body.I walked to a church 1/4 mile from home and xlimbed into the treehouse in the playground. I prayed, I begged,I could hold my hand up and see thes fiber electric like things floating up into the sky,When I finally got so cold I had to return home I was drained, My sister told me about a psychotic break she had experienced, It NEVER occured to me it was in my mind because I SAW it. My boyfriend had not.I had 1 good day thinking my mind had caused these things. Next day cleaning my room which I evacuated in June and here we go again. I was using Dr. Bonners pepprtmint soap and afer thinking the mixture of toxins had been the issue before..Came close to loosing it again. I dont see how we can fight anything that has the ability to morph, or fuse into any object..and wait? What are we suppose to do?I am close to loosing it in spite of all the support from family. I am off to se my sister who wanted to see any bugs if I saw any..Today she will see what I have been going thru for the last couple of months, Yall dont use toxins, especially a cumbination like I used. Any advise would be appreciated!!Peppermint oil is a help as is alcohol sprayed on you lightly. Sulfur n8 if you feel the need to make them run...Be careful they can hurt you.

If you are interested you could read my blog of when I had it in 2008. It was pretty horrific. I thought that I would have to separate myself from my children and grandchildren for fear of passing this on to them. The doctors and dermatologists treated me like I was imagining things and the staff in the hospital locked me up. They tried to force me to see a psychiatrist so took my clothes and locked them up and locked me in a room. When my husband came for me they refused to let him take me until I saw a psychiatrist. The praychiatrist realized I was ok and released me but told me that I was too concerned about my sores so should get busy and do other things instead of being so concerned about my skin. The said I had delusional parasitosis.

I became afraid to tell any medical proffessional what was going on. They thought I was cutting myself and causing the skin sores, cuts and rashes to get attention.

I kept on trying and because I did not give up was healed completely. I now am working at getting a complete healing again. I am almost there, Praise God!
