We just had a nice friendly discussion of what's a fiber and what's a bug. Some believe bugs are bugs (insects). Some classify bugs as other parasitic organisms (bacterium, fungi). And others believe bugs are probably not-bugs, but rather fibers that can be misinterpreted as bugs. Here are some pictures of KJ's bugs (or are these fibers pretending to be bugs?) Unfortunately, all of these came out of her body.... from skin lesions... or from stool samples... over the past two weeks. Anything look familiar? The real question is how to eradicate these from her body? She's had this for over 2 1/2 years now. It's getting pretty wearisome.

No dought those are bug pics. I would think anticandida diet no sugar, and menthol crystals inthe home would help . Have you tried these things? also anything that steps up the immune system ....garlic, vit c, herbs, excersize and vitamins to name a few should help Is she sick also? Has she had a lyme test? God bless you Jose and hope you find help soon

Bugs for sure. That coiled thing just blows me away. What in the world? Is it the outer shell of something?
Jose and Kathy, nothing I can say, think, feel, or write would be adequate to express my horror and outrage. I am so very sorry, and feel so very helpless.
I will never understand the why of this and the attitude of the medical profession. We can only hope and pray for answers ASAP, knowing the ASAP part is unlikely.

Check these out: www.ajtmh.org/cgi/reprint/70/4/386.pdfHuman myiasis is the invasion of the tissues of humans by the larvae of Diptera (true flies). It occurs worldwide, but more often in hot and humid climates. Species causing myiasis can be obligate, facultative, or accidental.1 We have previously reported ophthalmomyiasis of humans due to Oestrus ovis, the sheep nasal bot fly, an obligate parasite of sheep found in Kuwait and worldwide.2 We have also reported facultative and accidental myiasis caused by O. ovis, Psychoda sp., and Megaselia sp.3 We now report on two cases of facultative myiasis, one a case of nasopharyngeal myiasis and another of wound myiasis complicating a skeletal traction. Since both of these infestations manifested more than three days after the hospitalization of the patients, by definition, these may be considered nosocomial.:,,,,,,,,,,,,, note the pictures in different stages: Skytroll

Dearest skytroll about 3 or 4 years ago there was an article in one of our weekly magazines. A full page article of this woman who lives in the South Island of NZ and her Doctor saw her pull a fly out of her of her leg!!!!!!! He was aghast had never seen anything like it before and asked his colleuge about.This was in colour and the woman had lesions like bulls eye lesions just like me! This is when Nuspa was up and running. I sent copies to Lois and others who were interested. The only thing that the Doctor could come up with was using vaseline to smother the things. Now my physciatrist has this page in my files. Suzy from Nuspa told me to put a copy in a safe place as I would need it one day. Well trust me I have put it somewhere THAT I CANNT FIND IT!!!!! Typical me!!!! I can get it back anytime this week if anyone is interested in it. This is the only other case than mine of this occuring in NZ. My spelling has gone all to the pack I used to be a telgraphist with the Post Office where your spelling had to be A1. Now it is absolutely shocking and really upsets me!!! Much love and best wishes. Roberta.

Dear josej they look all too familiar to me. All I can suggest is bathing with epsom salts and bleach and soaking in it as long as possible and then if the itching starts heaps and heaps of vaseline which must be well rubbed in so it penetrates to the deepest layer of our skin which is where I think they breed. She has to do it until she actually feels this thing come out. There will be more than one most likely 8 to 10 and then the relief sets in and if she is lucky she could go for a few hours with no itching and then it will start up somewhere else and she will have to go through the same proceedure all over again. Eating garlic drinking lemon juice and eating pickles and things that have vinegar in it will help her. They also hate salt. I found that using Derbac M once a week for one month helped tremendously. I used it from my scalp to my toes and left it on for 48 hours. Repeated this weekly and my itches are much much better. Sometimes I have breakouts that is when I use the vaseline. If you cann't get Derbac M in the States any lotion with malathion will do. I am sure that this will help. Love and best wishes. Roberta.
