Diagnosis of mites

[Owl]

Has anyone had a definitive identification of mites (on your body, not in the environment)by a scientist or a lab, or a diagnosis of mite infestation (again, on your body) by a doctor?

Are you kidding? Then someone might have to actually help. Not until somebody important gets infested. Then we wouldn’t be crazy anymore

[Owl]

True. And I hate to admit it, but I’ve almost wished for somebody important to get infested.
But it’s very hard to believe that the life stages of mites — eggs, larva, nymphs, and adults — can’t be observed with a microscope. (Only the adult mites, of course, are not microscopic.)
Biologists, veterinarians etc., can see mite infestations on birds and rodents — why can’t they see them on other mammals (like humans)? I don’t get it.

There is a DNA website that I don’t know much about. Was wondering myself which type mite is the jumping one.

I’m going to do an online search for a DNA lab that can identify mites species. I’ll let everyone know what I find out.

If anyone already knows of such a lab, please post the information and save us all a lot of trouble!

Thanks in advance.

Hello. Did you find test and get any answers?

[delusional_mite]

Hello. I spoke to my doctor office about testing. And they said they don’t see the bites on me and don’t have other tests to run. And my family wonders why I don’t trust my providers.

Not yet, but I’m working on it. I apologize to those for whom each day is more suffering (believe me, I know). Hang in there.
My goal is to prove to the medical community that people can be afflicted with bird or rodent mites. I don’t think we’re going to make any progress until we can establish that. (You can’t treat something that doesn’t exist!) But it’s not going to be easy. Even the CDC website says,
“… mites found on other animals may cause a self-limited infestation in humans with temporary itching due to dermatitis; however they do not multiply on the human host.”

In other words, if mites can’t reproduce on humans, there can’t be an ongoing infestation.

And yet, nobody doubts that Scabies exists. Where do Scabies mites live – and reproduce? Under human skin. Then it shouldn’t be so far-fetched to suggest that other kinds of mites could live on humans too. I’ll post updates.

Thanks for the reply. I think there is much more than bird mites and scabies in our environment. The biocontrol patent has pages of bioligical items. I think I have scabies because I get scratch marks if I let then invade my skin. There used to be pictures like it on search but someone removed them. The websites does not indicate how scabies is highly morbid. I think it causes heart issues. And I am having new weakness, and vertigo and numb fingers, tingling sensations. Have you tried video at night with only using camera light?

[Owl]

No, I don’t usually have issues at night for some reason, even though I know that most mite sufferers do. But document it any way you can — scientists (including doctors, even though they don’t always act like scientists) like data. We’re more likely to be taken seriously if we can “prove” that what we’re experiencing is real.

In my world they would just call it dust mites.
