I agree with your friend they are trying to get out.( they're in your shoes...freeze them) They are more active when you are sedentary...like driving or sitting in front of the computer...and they hang out where they know you are going to be...hide and come out when they smell you. People seem to have different symptoms...but that can change too..ie you can get a symptom you never had before..out of the blue...or one can slowly go away...in my experience, with effort. Your car is infested and the computer too. I'm thinking of doing the menthol in a soup kettle(on low) with an extension cord in the car for 12 hours like one person suggested. You have to do the trunk too at the same time.(different kettle) I was using a candle diffuser..but it's not strong enough or long enough. My computer was better when I put it in a plastic container when not using it.( with menthol crystals or cedar moth balls) Mop the floor where you sit before you settle in or vacuum...can be a problem though because it spews some back out...all over you...then you'll be creeped out unless you change and shower. I mean it may be worth it if you feel a big molt coming on. They like feet..lots of blood supply. They are in your bloodstream I'm sorry to say...too late. They travel around under the deeper layers of skin and come out periodically...to mate, lay eggs...wander around..pretty creepy... the skin..nothing in the body is a barrier for these critters. There is more than one and some people have 1, a few, or several. You are very lucky they don't like your head. Some people shave their heads. They like hair follicles. Of course your body is fighting, yay. Best of luck, be strong..that's what I tell myself..They're contagious too if the person is suseptable. Be careful..check the sites..hoopefully you'll get rid of it early. sincerely, Sherry

HERE IS A TIP THAT HELPS PROTECT YOUR FEET - for at least a week or two before they are able to get in. Buy rain boots or "shoes without seams like fishing boots - NOW HERE IS THE IMPORTANT PART OF THIS MESSAGE - just before winter ends and the boots are being clearanced. Last year I purchased four pairs of the coolest boots at Macy's for just over $12.00 total. After washing socks - run a flame over them and you will be surprised at how many things that weren't there before are waiting to be rolled off with lint rollers. Also they don't get into synthetic socks as much as they do cotton and avoid those "worlds softest socks" until this is over.

Hey Gordon,
I realized something else about shoes yesterday when I put my sandles on the top of our very hot wood stove...they ley eggs between the sole & the bottom of the shoe. I should have talen a picture but instinct kicked in and I put them in the fire (still removing sole from the top...I won't do that again) This explained the extreme pain that would happen after putting on shoes one morning that I wear a lot yet didn't experience that much pain before.

I know I shouldn't say this but these "things" can go through anything, move at the speed of light, with or without you knowing it at their discretion as well as cause you pain at will. I would like to think I have a pretty good knowledge of how they but work whats confusing is finding someone who has witnessed the same or will admit to it.

I feel your pain my friends! I have determined that they actually get into the shoe at the seam if one is available but they can go right through the bottom of a shoe sole...it just takes them longer. I try to keep my feet off the floor at home and I don't stop for long when I do move around. When I stand in one place I can feel the ground below my feet begin to vibrate and within seconds I can feel them getting into my shoes then feet - the bigger they are the more it hurts when they do get to the blood stream or lymph system to travel to a jbreading spot. (I believe they are using us, like they use other parasites, we are a carcass ti contain their eggs until close to hatching time then they are pushed out into our enviroment; after they hatch they seek out a host which is usually us.

Another bit of good information to have is that when they hatch they immediately head out and UP! Every time you vacuum don;t forget the walls. They then can wait for a target to pass by and hop on then in. This is how hair is invaided so quickly. Check out my Blog "Between scalp & skull!"

Now for the argument between the two of you! You are both right! The eggs fall from our bodies almost all the time and they have the ability to get into almost anything...tile, wood, concrete, and rugs. When they get into a rug they actually hide inside the fibers; remember we are dealing with nano technology at the beginning of their life. They also get inside our hair by tunneling into the hair and laying their eggs - THEY CAN GET INTO ALMOST EVEYTHING! If they can't get into it they have a cloaking mechanism that allows them to hide from view and also protects them from most cleaning prodicts but not sanding paper or brillo type pads, but then it must be dealt with and there is anothr delima without a good solution (I go thrr ziplock bagis like madO.

About hair...check out my next blog, I have some very interesting pictures!
