I was making my self a back scraper out of a bath brush sorta like a back scratcher and I needed to bend the plastic handle so it was ergonomically correct
so I got out my old heat gun to soften up the plastic that I use for electrical work soldering shrinking wire insulation and such
I had been thinking about trying it before to kill critters but I thought it was much too hot and it would burn my skin which it will do easily because the Top temp that it gets to is about 800 some odd degrees
In playing with it I found that I could move it across my my skin fast anywhere from five to seven inches from my skin and it is so hot that it flash Fry's any critters on the your skin It is especially noticeable how effective it is when the critters are coming out like crazy and after you run it across your body one time their is a reduction of crawling sensations all most immediately
You've seen the trick where somebody passed their finger through a candle flame without being burnt ?
They don't get burnt because they keep moving through the flame this works the same way if you keep the gun moving across your skin no Burnie but if you stop big Burnie!!! and ouchie too"
This is not for those that like hair on their body's because it singes it all off
At least I don't have to shave
This falls under the don't try this at home warning label because it is dangerous

I did the same thing with a match--it singed the hair down to skin level---the strange thing that I noticed when I brushed the burnt hair off on to a piece of paper was that some of it did not burn like the regular hair did but rather turned an ivory color and curled up like maccaroni...this tells me that only half of that hair belongs to me--hay what goes here??--a hair like parasite? Sure looks that way to me---if you pull one out , instead of regular hair folical like regular hair it has a black deformed blob on the end, THIS PSEUDO hair is another form of the parasite and the one that buggs me the most---if any one finds a way to kill it off let me know because I have not.

I just now found the same pseudo hair onmy leg--geesh, its all over me...God, no wonder I'm sick--it's eating me alive.. The one I pulle out was burried almost 90% deeper than the regular hair---this is scarry---they seem to be blacker and more shinny--and sometimes flat like a double barreled shot gun...What gives? no one else has seen this >??

Orion, under the microscope at 200x or greater, do you see striped-ness. Or are they solid color.
Ant, I guess this means we fire up the coal beds and start running across to get at the stingy soles?
The third world countries know all the tricks, dang it.

Spec---I can only observe under 80X--- One thing that I do know is that nothing that I try seems to deture them... they seem to leave a very small wound or sore where they are pulled from....these suckers are really buried deep.. Is it a stealth virus that has robbed hair folical DNA?---it seems to kill any hair next to it..

Hi Orion,
I don't think I could see the striped-ness under 80x that I see under 200x. I was wondering if the invaders you are dealing with were the same as these things I see. Partially because only the black were striped, so I wonder always why it is striped, why only the black?
and since you describe these follicle varmint invaders as black, I thought possibly a matching set of criteria.
Thanks though you made me think of something just now. I have never clipped a hair from either of my two black cats for comparison and I must do that before concluding the striped-black thing is an actual varmint.
Do yours stay around and dead once they are out?
Sorry you suffer with this form, it must be horrible.

WOW!!!! I a couple of times experimented with a candle and WOW, it burned the little so phsudo hairs into little squiggley things. I ran he candle across the back of one of legs and out popped a black fiber. I could almost hear it scream!!!! It jumped right back into my leg and caused a nasty sore!!! Boy did it ever freak me out! Also the wax that hadf dripped on my hardwood floors was way different! Yes I do so the ring around the hairs. My whole head is covered in these beasts. Im losing my own hair at a rapid pace and its being replaced by them):

Orion........IDENTICAL diddies on my end, even the turning ivory and curling up like macaroni. Sometimes I've burned em while holding em with a tweezers, using a torch, and because of the intense heat it's made them almost jump right towards me...scared the peewaddly out of me and nearly made me jump across the room! It seems like to me they form a new black pod as they burn......REALLY scary stuff.
Skytroll.......mine also have stripes (the black, almost invisible ones do), but the others look just like a sparkling black piece of very flat hair. I think "it" lives inside of the hair anyway...just makes you think it's the hair itself.
Luv ya's ~~ bannanny

I decided to burn a couple of fuzz balls, kind of a test to see if they burn like a fuzz ball of threads should burn and therefore a true fuzzball. The first one was a black fuzz ball and was difficult to get burning. Then I had to turn my lighter all they way up so I could throw a flame hot enough to keep it lit. I kept it on the darn thing until my fingers were burning, it should of been incinerated, dust, nothing. But it was still there, a shiny tiny black ball that would not relight. The second one, a tan fellow who "jumped" into the tub after seeing the fate of his buddy, (I swear these things have intelligence) well after a little chase I captured him in my tweezers, held him over the ceramic soap dish (I was staying in a hotel) and threw my best flame on him. A little singe then in a flash a blob of protoplasma slid out of the fuzz ball and onto the soap dish. It was the clear slightly yellow, looks like snot, protoplasma. The threads then burned like threads should burn. The next morning I checked the dish the protoplasma and black ball was gone, there was a small hole in the ceramic dish and a bump just past the hole. How these things do what they do is beyond me, unworldly, alien little .....

Boy" this thread got away from me I wanted to do an update on how this over hot blow dryer was working for me I have been thinking about changing my name from anthill to hairless chawawa  That said I find that once you get past the learning curve on how to use the heat gun with out burning yourself seriously I find that it is quite the useful tool for my affliction
Case in point I normally have pretty nasty looking lesions they seem to be getting smaller and less During those attacks when critters are hatching out everywhere and they seem to even crawl through oils and topicals that you put on your skin this heat gun gets them
I have used the gun in conjunction with oil it can act as a buffer from burning yourself plus it can act as a trap to slow down those fast movers and the heat of the gun helps the oil to penetrate the parasites I use this techniquemostly for those over whelming hatch outs I am sure you know what I am talking about
I wanted to impart to you an experience that I have with this thing it might give you some Idea When I am doing my back which is quite overrun when it comes to parasite count not that I try to count them  The parasites trying to get away from the heat start to boil out of the back of my neck at that point I will aim the gun at the back of my neck I and in the time it takes to light a fire under their butt they are done for.
In only a split second the boiling stops
I originally had tried a propane torch to try to do this same thing but It would start to burn way to fast the torch runs at about 1000+ degrees where my heat gun is about 800 degrees I know you wouldn't think so with the temperatures that high but I have more control with the gun as opposed to the torch
The key is distance to your skin to where you feel your skin gets hot instantly but without pain lets say the threshold between the two and to always keep the gun moving because to stop one one spot would mean a burn
This is more or less to get the critters on top of and close to the surface of the skin it is more a flash kill I still realie on the heat lamps and the sauna and deep tissue massages to get to the critters at a deeper point
I have had my heat gun for over ten years and I wish I would of figured out to use it before It cost about $145 bucks now days
Mine is for working on electrical applications I have been wondering if the heat guns that they use for stripping paint would work better they are only about $45
In summery all the heat gadgets that I have tried have done something to help put the parasites on the defensive when they were vary much on the offensive before and it seemed hopless to try to do an thing I can tell that my parasite load has diminished from what it once was so far it is just a small edge that I have on the parasites but a edge none the less

Thanks for that great update Ant. I wonder if the crafting heat guns would do the same thing? Crafters use them for embossing......different than a hairdryer. I think they are about $45 for a good one so maybe that is the same as is used for paint stripping?

Patti I dont know about the crafter gun weather it is the same as the one for stripping paint
The differace between the heat gun I have and the paint strpiper one is where the hot air comes out on my gun it is only 1/4 of an inch compared to about a quarter size or 1-1/4"inch or so of the paint stripper gun
Still it dosent take me long even with the small size of the oraface of my heat gun to flash fry the critters on my whole body
