Getting Rid of Bugs in Hair?

I recently have been finding bugs. But it looks like maybe there are three different types. Some look like fuzz or dust or even lint. And some are kind of clearish. It is hard to tell what they are and they are in my hair and they go in my nose and ears and other areas of my body. I have chopped my hair off and used every kind of treatment I know of. Plus I got a prescription treatment. They won't go away. Please for the love of God, can someone please tell me what they are and how to get rid of them!

I am so sorry you are dealing with this. It sounds like you have tried a doctor, so maybe get a second opinion since the medicine has not helped.

There are a large number of folks who have posted similar issues on our beloved site (this one) Thrifty Fun. Maybe you can find some information with these links:

I have the same problem exactly the same thing and it's driving me crazy sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy I took tissue and used it to blow my nose or wipe off and I noticed that the tissue crinkles up kinda like a tape worm I'm worried that these things will eventually kill me the worst part is no one believes me that these things exist and that they are inside me just because they are translucent and very hard to see especially if they are not willing to believe you are try . Please help

Those are mites , dust mites. I'm going through the same experience. It's been since before Xmas I found something in my hair . Thought it was lice also. There mites . I haven't found a yet. They are white an look like actual lint. But, lint doesn't bite.

I'm having the same problem after 5 months of misdiagnosis at the er they told me it was scabies and head lice. Since I had it for 5 months they were both Very hard to get rid of . Finally after another two months they were gone. But since then I have had several breakouts of uncontrollable itching in my scalp that turn to huge pus filled blisters, they are tender and hurt.Also my skin will never be the same I go for 2 weeks ok to rashes that I can't stop itching that swell up raised red inflammation I am very depressed and my arms are so ugly from rashes scars I would love any advise.

If it is not fleas or lice, it could be bird mites. I would get an exterminator.

My apologies for just now signing on. The picture you show is identical to all 2 years of my microscopic visuals. I live in a senior property, and trying to explain this to the manager, my friends, and family, is just so stupid. I have been to doctors and they are clueless. I stopped using most of the unsafe products and bleach on my skin. I started the clove and peppermint oils etc. Then my skin got better, then they are on my scalp!!!! All I knew to use was lice shampoo, this isn't lice. So I went to another dermatologist and yesterday. He took a big plug of skin, and was very kind. I also have kept in touch with the CDC. They finally showed where the US has been put on the list of fungus, possibly mites. I don't think its mites, maybe by now you have read more about this, and the millions that are right here with you. The tickling on my scalp is subsiding. I spray clove oil, every time I feel something. This has been the worst nightmare. I have lived with clothes in trash bags, I sleep on an air mattress, I was changing my sheets everyday, there is so much to change, I have felt hopeless, panicked, angry with sons and their wives, ex husband etc.

etc... I am noticing a positive thing. I hope. I also had pretty thick long hair. I have torn my poor hair out, by using all those combs. That is the best thing, though.
You don't want the eggs hatching in your hair every day. The apt manager and I are not getting along at all. Nobody that has not experienced this, can really give you good advice. Again, hopefully you have learned more since you posted your message. I would be happy to share anything with you. It is very difficult also, when you have family that does not understand, and think its in your head, pardon the pun. Mine started out, in my ears, nose, etc. I live alone, but if someone comes over, I make them wear shoe covers. I freak out if my son and grandson come over and lay on my bed. Its crazy. Hope you don't feel alone with this. I will let you know in 10 days what the doc says. I'm still not too trusting with the doctors, but we will see.
