    This is terrifying! Feeling things crawling on me all the time makes me feel absolutely insane. Sometimes, the sensations and acne aren't so bad, for a week or two, and then for the next week or two (or longer), it's really bad. Has anyone tried waxing the hair off of their face? Not ALL of it, but the little hairs that are everywhere besides your eyebrows and your head? This is literally torture. I got a steam cleaner and berm doing everything and ironing my clothes everyday, going to try the ACV and see how that works...

      Feel like shaving my head bald for a bit here too dont worry. Lol.. Like when the kids were little the neighbour shaved her poor little girls heads gorgeous hair near clean off as they kept getting the dreaded "nits" (lice) that kids invariable nearly all end up with at school. This all feels like that again, but for adults. Sigh! Gosh who would have thunk it at my age .. 62.. Lol. Oh well.. Life always throws us these curve balls hay. Could always be worse and there is always someone worse off .. we always doing it worse off than yourself. We do need to keep that in mind I guess. It makes you feel like going full bottle OCD though and stripping the carpet up (mind is terrible at the moment as I am renting) if a I move into a house I am thinking of buying, and they have had dogs, the bedrooms with carpet will be going and I think I will put floor boards down and start fresh. Got some great ideas on here though from others.. ACV in the hair sounds good yer Kris Womack. Maybe try the waxing the hair off the face, can't hurt can it. Well maybe only while actually waxing it off.. eek.. but yer.  Worth a try..

        I have also thought about shaving my head. I mean, it's slowly falling out anyway. I've thought about pouring permethrin all over me. There are so many crazy, desperate things. This is the worst. I need a lifetime supply of antibiotics. That made them go away, but they slowly came back!
