Re: Results from other entomology department [1 Attachment]

[Guest guest]

When I was having the

infestation in NYC, about a year ago, I went to a pest control

company who had an entomologist who would identify things for

free. From what the guys at the pest control told me, they got

LOADS of people who would bring stuff that the entomologist sent

back as debris. When they first looked at my samples, they told me

they were sure it would also come back as debris. But

surprisingly, it didn't. It came back as "unidentified organism."

But this just goes to show that something's going on everywhere,

where people find that whatever is attacking them leaves some

debris behind. So I would try a different approach. 

I remember back when this was going on, someone here at birdmites

recommended that I got a home depot mold test kit. I never did so

because I left the US, but you may want to try this. Here I'm

quoting what she wrote to me back then:

"Wish I had a

dollar for every time a dermatologist told

me that black things coming out of the skin was "normal". It

is not.

My first thought is that the specks and threads are

fungal in nature, especially since they seem to come out with

sulfur.

Go to Home Depot and buy a mold test kit. Put your samples in

there and

send them off. If it is fungal in nature, they will be able to

identify

it. I did this, and it came back as cladosporium mold and 2

types of

yeast. I had a mold-filled showerhead at the beginning of my

ordeal

that infected my entire body.

Since I had discovered that, I had my showerheads

changed out, but I'm still fighting the skin mold, which is

WAY WAY

better..."

Why  not give this a try? I guess entomologists won't identify

molds, but this kit might do.

The letter reads;

"There is only detritus and fibers in this

sample. No insects."

This is from the department in Arkansas. The

other department in Bemidji, Minnesota told me

that the samples were wood and grass, lol.

What is going on!??! I still itch sometimes,

depending on where I lay.

I have gotten rid of the bed and the chair we

found outside at a bed place last year. I have

the couch, still and I don't get bit nearly as

much there. When I lay on this new comforter

we bought, I get itchy and then I get itchy

when I lay under the quilt my grand mother

left me in her will. I REFUSE to get rid of

this quilt, too. I don't care how many bugs

are in it. I want to figure out how to get rid

of them if I do in fact have them. The animals

have been flicking their ears lately. -sigh-

fibers, grass, wood, detritus. AAAAAAAAAAAAH

WHY AM I ITCHING THEN lol. I am going insane.

They shut the road through the woods

Seventy years ago.

Weather and rain have undone it again,

And now you would never know

There was once a road through the woods

Before they planted the trees.

It is underneath the coppice and heath,

And the thin anemones.

Only the keeper sees

That, where the ring-dove broods,

And the badgers roll at ease,

There was once a road through the woods.

Yet, if you enter the woods

Of a summer evening late,

When the night-air cools on the trout-ringed pools

Where the otter whistles his mate.

(They fear not men in the woods,

Because they see so few)

You will hear the beat of a horse's feet,

And the swish of a skirt in the dew,

Steadily cantering through

The misty solitudes,

As though they perfectly knew

The old lost road through the woods….

But there is no road through the woods.
