Crawling Sensations Under the Skin: Collembola (Springtails) Posted: 09-18-07 21:48pm
I've suffered from crawling sensations
under my skin, mainly on my shoulder, but
also face, hair, legs, feet, just about
everywhere, since 2004.
I don't have the fibres some people talk
about but maybe that's a secondary
complication.
I've discovered from researching that they
are Collembola (Springtails) and now I can
actually see them under the webbing of top
layer of skin by using the new kids toy
EYE-CLOPS which you view, at 200 x
magnification, on your TV screen.
They are white and reflect the light from
the magnifier (especially their eyes).
Still waited till they moved to make sure
I wasn't imagining it.
Bad news is that I've been trying for 12
months to kill them, to no avail. I can't
think of any more things to try but if I
find something I'll let you know. When I
have really made them suffer, they bite,
but seem to recover quickly.
Worst time I gave them was when I had the
church Elders pray for me. The Springtails
bit me for days, keeping me awake at
night, but they're still here. Maybe God
has a purpose for my suffering. I'll keep
you posted. Don't give up! Lyn

Hi Lyn,
I'm so sorry to hear you have this. I
know exactly how it feels. I have had the
same crawling skin sensations, stings, and
after treating with sulfur cream was
finding clear, salt-like round crystals
that look like flea eggs and bodies of
what looks like a small wormlike creature
with a head and a long tail. I showed it
to a doctor and he said that I am
delusional. Just because they can't find
it in their nerdy little book they think
it doesn't exist. That's delusional!
Anyway, a doctor can give you something
that can temporarily alleviate some
symptoms,--a sterhoid shot, sterhoid
cream, hydrocortisone cream, and benadryl
to treat the allergic reaction and help me
sleep at night.
As for other remedies, please contact me
and I can let you know what else has been
working for me to reduce their population
and what else might work. Two heads are
better than one. Let's see what we can
come up with together and maybe God will
give us a chance to live a normal life
again.
My prayers go out for you,
Richard

Thanks Richard!
I have found a picture of a Springtail
(Collembola) which looks like the ones I
can see under the top layer of my skin but
was unable to paste it in this box. (Note:
there are over 6,000 types of Collembola
apparently)
I can send you the photo.
Did you keep using the sulphur? I tired
dandruff treatments on my skin as they
contain sulphur and kill fungi etc. but to
no avail.
A doctor friend suggested they maybe they
are more prolific than is realised.
Female patients report crawling under the
skin sensations during menopause and it is
listed as a symptom of menopause but
nothing more.
We should keep up the research and the
prayers. But there are visible skin
parasites and worms that cause much more
suffering to children and adults without
access to any sort of treatment. I pray
daily for all those who are suffering
throughout the world but I would hate to
pass on Springtails to anyone..... Lyn
