Bugs of some kind could be lice? Posted: 02-03-08 12:56pm
I have a problem with bugs at my
apartment. I stay at a friend's house,
and it happens there too. I think both
must be infected.
A little background:
They are too tiny to see. They crawl on
my body (not just my hair), and they bite.
I don't believe they are bed bugs. I see
no fecal matter, and bed bugs are
nocturnal; these work during the day.
I wonder if it might be fleas. Can they be
that small?
I bombed my apartment for fleas, along
with some non toxic stuff. I laundered
all clothes and bedding hot. They came
back.
They are worse the second night, after
laundering bedding, so I think they may
live in fabric.
Is there some kind of insect that lives on
you, that would crawl on your body and not
just your hair? I believe lice and crabs
just crawl in your hair. Also, if they
are only localized to me, why would they
get worse the 2nd and 3rd nights
progressively after washing the bedding?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Sounds like scabies. They are microscopic
little parasites that live like mites in
dust and bedding. You'll need to apply a
special cream to your skin, if diagnosed.
But go see a dermatologist! You'll need a
diagnosis.
