White, Hair-like Fibers Found All Over Body Causes Concern for This Reader in Northwest Washington

Parasites in Humans that Look Like Hair: Reader Discovers a Cure!
Share the knowledge

EXCITING UPDATE! A regular All About Worms reader named Heidi has, after extensive research, discovered both what are these parasites that look like hair that are infecting humans (or at least infecting her), and a cure to eradicate them! Read the write-up of the information that she shared with us here.


“I have been struggling with these white, lightweight, hair-like worms in my hair and all over my body,” says this reader located in Northwest Washington, “out in the rural farm lands near the Canadian border.” Although our reader does not ask any specific questions in her submission, we will provide some resources she can consult if she worries for her health as a result of these worms. The worms “appear when” our reader experiences itching, when she feels a “slight movement on [her] scalp,” when she scratches her head or body, or when she brushes her hair.

“These white hair-like fibers start floating about from out of nowhere. I find them on my face, on my eyebrows, eyelashes and skin.” The fibers tend to move in “a totally weird way”, “slowly bending” in a “frightening” manner.

Our reader also finds them on her dark-colored clothes, her bedding and in her car. She reports feeling embarrassed when others notice the fibers and point them out, asking her what “these white hairs floating all around” are. This usually happens when “natural light hits [her] in the car.”

As our reader is experiencing itching, as well as sensations of “movement” on her scalp, this may be a medical issue. In any case where there is an organism that is being consistently found on or around a reader, and they are experiencing symptoms (mild or serious), we always consider this a medical issue.

Now, since we are not medical professionals we unfortunately are legally unable to make diagnoses or to provide an opinion related to any human symptom or condition, or what may be causing it. As such, we will not be able to help our reader in the way that [they] request[s].”

What we can recommend is that our reader consult with a medical parasitologist, as they would be able to tell her exactly what these are and what is going on.

To find a medical parasitologist, we suggest doing one or more of the following:
1) Search for a medical parasitologist in Northwest Washington using this directory of medical parasitology consultants: https://www.astmh.org/for-astmh-members/clinical-consultants-directory.
2) Search for a local parasitologist by doing a Google search for “medical parasitologist Northwest Washington” or “tropical medicine specialist Northwest Washington”.
3) Get in touch with Dr. Omar Amin at the Parasitology Center at https://www.parasitetesting.com.

To conclude, we sympathize with our reader and understand her fear of these fibers, which seem to be taking over her life. We implore her to remain hopeful and encourage her to seek medical advice if she thinks it necessary. Then again, it is always best to be safe, rather than sorry. The resources above are all viable routes to choose from, and the fourth option has been personally recommended by a past reader of ours, so we hope at least one of them comes to use. We wish our reader the best of luck!

  1. I HAVE THE SAME FREAKING THING.THANK GOD I AM NOT CRAZZZY.HELP ME GET RID OF THIS TORTURE

  2. Hey I live near you and going through this still ..I am JENN was wondering if you have found any real help from a doctor in our area for this besides doctor saying we’re crazy? It’s too bad this site does not publish email address if want to but will include it within anyway. I have had no luck at all with SAMA doctors and am so sick of dealing with this! …I do a lot of things people have suggested to get some relief but constantly have to switch it up to something else when it stops helping. It blows my mind that people can get illegal drugs with no problem but can’t get any albendazole and doxycycline! …..In Was state the only way to see an infectious disease ZING doc is have to be referred by primary doctor and have diagnosis. The only referral I can get is for psychiatrist. G mail code is included within as 3 groups of 4 big letters and 73 at the end, if want to. I was thinking if there was a group of us in our state then maybe together as a group we could get someone to help and take us seriously.

  3. Sorry to hear you’re going through this – but you are not alone!!!
    Not sure if you’d be interested, but I’ve created a WhatsApp group with a few of us so we can all stay connected and share stories, talk in real time and support one another!

  4. Thread worms. Aka pinworms. They aren’t just for children. They also don’t just stay on your butt . You can get them in your hair, ears , nose , mouth etc. they lay eggs just under the top layer of skin ( that stinging sensation) so if you look real close at your skin you see little pustules . Use Cerve SA body wash and lotion. Clean nose and ears out with peroxide and SA body wash mix . Weekly bleach bath knocked them back a lot .( or swimming pool) clean your feet and use a pedicure stone take off all the dead skin. Any wounds clean them good and cover them with a patch that stays on until it falls off they can’t get under them. WASH YOUR HANDS . And not just soap and water … scrub them with a brush and the SA body wash several times a day. Scrub your nails. Apply SA lotion when done . Dry off with paper towels unless you’re going to do laundry every day. Daily clarifying shampoo, vinegar rinse and dandruff shampoo helps. Don’t leave hair wet. Completely dry it and straighten it if you can. Nair or razor your body. Wash laundry after each use do t rewear clothes or reuse bed sheets . If you feel an itch or movement don’t ignore it . Take a paper towel in 90% rubbing alcohol and wipe the area real good. Then wipe your hands down very good. Keep a garbage bag and a very clean environment. Wipe things down . Don’t just spray. Use disposable gloves when cleaning , doing laundry and taking garbage out . Don’t wear fake nails. Keep toenails short . Wear shoes!! And don’t wear outside shoes in the house . Sweep daily. Moo daily . Ivermectin dose once a week for MONTHS. Throw in some albenzadole and pintos while your at it . Cut back sugar . Clean your gut out! Let the sunshine in!! Buy a dehumidifier. Keep humidity low. Keep your animals cleaned and brushed regularly. Clean their ears , cut their nails. Cats can get them but even if an animal doesn’t carry that parasite .. their fur does. Every time they come into contact with you and your things they are transferring it.
    The biting and tiny black specks you see with magnification I am assuming is a stage of larva. The eggs are white and stick to everything !! Bleach spray bathroom, make a peroxide and alcohol mix. Throw in some clove or tea tree oil. Spray down carpets and bedding . ( test spot first) use clove oil in hair and tea tree oil on hair . Use clove under nails. Clean your vehicle! Wipe it all down and sweep. Use Botox in every laundry load and bleach all you can . High heat to dry, several cycles if you can. Don’t carry a purse or carry a leather / vinyl one you can wipe down daily. Also wipe down everything in it .

    Yes it’s a lot . I’ve been dealing with it for two years but can see the end of the tunnel. Went through countless doctors . Treated like crap( and I’m in medical ) They did NOTHING . I’ve used every med known to man. I learned if my skin breaks out or swells up.. I have eggs on my skin. I remove them with alcohol, peroxide or straight up acetone . That works really well for the itch if severe .
    Don’t give up. Follow Fla sharkmans parasite schedule. Will need Doxycycline. Any med you can’t get with prescription go to a tractor supply . Still can’t get them look up preppers medications. They find way around things .
    It will get better . Don’t quit! You got this . You’re not crazy! Healthcare sucks!
    Don’t give up!

  5. Sp when I started dealing with this and realized it was a parasite, I had been wearing this fiber rope necklace for days. I never took it off. I realized it was irritating my neck. I was getting little bumps on my pores.
    I took it off and put it in a bowl of warm soap water in the bathroom while I showered. I forgot about it for a couple weeks, and the rope necklace sat in the water in that warm, humid environment.
    I came back to it and was about to dump the water out when I noticed something growing from the necklace. It was dark, reddish brown. It looked like a vine, kind of. It had lots of “branches” coming off of it, almost like the roots of a tree. They were long and narrow, and looked like hairs. They got lighter and more translucent towards the ends of each “arm/branch.”
    I looked closely at it, and I noticed the tendrils were just barely moving. They slowly waved back and forth in an eery, strange way. It was like a mirage. You could just barely tell it was even moving. Each tendril reached towards the edge of the bowl, and they were starting to “climb” out. The thickest part of it, where it grew out of the fibers of the necklace, was maybe as wide as my pinky.
    I have since moved out of that house and dont know what happened to it, or what it was. Whatever it was, it felt absolutely evil. The room felt heavy and my stomach was sinking through the floor.
    I ended up in the hospital with pylotophritis, however that’s spelled, which is a kidney infection that spreads from a serious UTI. I first started noticing them down there, and I assume they spread up through my body until they took over my kidneys. I thought I was going to die, I couldn’t even get out of bed. I had these black spots/lines underneath my skin. I could push them around under my skin, and it hurt. My hands were so swollen and all the joints in them hurt. I could FEEL little lines underneath the skin on my hands, and i could painfully push them around. I always had these little shiny brown specks underneath my nails. It’s been over a year, and they’re nowhere near as bad, but they’re still there. They’re always there. They’re in my eyes. My vision is getting so bad, I have terrible floaters. I can’t see at night, and I’m so sensitive to light that my eyes water when I look at the sidewalk. My eyes itch. I’ve SEEN them in my eye before. A little worm looking thing, moving. This is hell.

  6. I live in Wisconsin and have the same things. I feel like i am going crazy, I burn them with a lighter when I can. I wonder if they are not from this world? My name is Ken Kurt-Hauge on Facebook if anyone would like to contact me. There has to be a way to get rid of these things. I have had a lot of very strange things happen as well but will get in to that if anyone wants to talk about it offline. Text me if you want 6085980194. I don’t usually give out my info but I need help.

  7. I agree with you. They are intelligent. Has anyone else had a vision or dream where someone ( in my case the person passed before the meeting ) asks you if you could have anything what would you want?

  9. OMG I am near granite falls WA too and have been going through this nightmare for 2 years! ..I wish this site would publish contact info so we can exchange tips etc. trying to get myself better now that I know I’m not crazy. No docs will help.

  10. Mine started in May of 2023. Started with something feeling like I was crawling in my eye after working with plants then I lost my husband the following week, every time I go to the doctor now they can’t find anything and look at me like I’m crazy… I feel like I’m going crazy. I got a little black spots and bumps. My fingers are swollen. My legs are swollen my feet have swollen. It’s excruciatingly painful. I don’t know what it is but it’s driving me insane. I see the little black-and-white fibers. Just wanted to let you know you’re not alone..

  11. Me too my dog and me started dealing with the same thing only a couple months apart me first then her. Been to the vet and the doctor 100 times and it’s been 2 years. It bugs me so bad I pull my hair out because I’m convinced there is something there I take video all the time of hairs, I’m paranoid all the time because after it started we moved in with my daughters. And we have 2 dogs and 5 cats between us and my 3 daughters all have long hair and that makes the paranoia worse cause there is always hair and fur. Everyone thinks in delusional. The vet said it’s not the same but when I’m itchy she is. Now she is on expensive allergy meds. For 2 years but it doesn’t fully go away. 1 cat got the pustules on her chin just like the dog but they say it’s not related. My hair was my everything and it’s gone. It hurts to shower because it seems to get worse. My daughter’s have been having skin issues recently and I feel like it’s my fault. I feel it in my ears and nose and throat. But dr says there is no way. They did a biopsy and injections of steroids into my scalp, antifungal, antibiotics, creams, lice shampoo, everything. Idk what it is

  12. Ivermectin has a really high ceiling for dosage . I have eaten enough ivermectin to deworm an entire Texas steer heard. I take 3rd my weight for weeks at a time and although I have no side effects … I still have a parasite which I’m almost positive is a free living thread worm.

  13. Ive been over 2 years with this stuff. Been to every dr. And specialist in my town. I have no lining left in my nose the live in the tissue just under the skin. I take a q-tip and genly put it just alittle bit in my nose with peroxide. I have bumps inside my nose and when it hits one this pure whit stuff comes out. These are not polups. They are in my hair my ears. Also i have a bebird i got from amazon. I looked in my ear one because of the crawling and tickling. It scared the hell out of me. This think was a dull black and worm like thing .it disapeard in seconds. Ive got it on camera. Also i can see white things in my eardrum. These things are behind my eardrum and under the skin in my ear canal. Ive applied for ssid because dr.s tell me im delusional. Been on every antiboctic known to man . I did have some erythramicin once but only 3 tablets but i swear that they were working but dr.s will not give them to me. They dont like coconut oil and tea tree oil its great for your hair and the coconut oil i use a dab of that in my nose it just makes it tolerable. Nothing kills it.

  14. I don’t want you to feel like you want to end your life my fiance left me because he came home to me vacuuming butt ass naked convinced they were attacking me and I had powder every were that way I could see them if they moved through it. Lol he told my whole family I am schizophrenic and docs it’s in my medical record now to I’m not delusional it’s really fucking there. Same exact way you noticed it I did as well.

  15. I am in Lake Steven’s and have been dealing with this for almost 2 yrs now. I have done every single thing mentioned on this thread and more. I am immunocompromised and it just keeps getting worse and “they” keep getting bigger and more of them. Every test is negative I have taken and then I just submitted actual specimens to lab and took pics of the vials with them clearly in them. The Lab result was there was NOTHING!!!!! oh my god I am so done. I have lost everything and I am so infested and spend all my time and energy trying to get better. I have nothing now …no money no car nothing! I am thinking maybe that’s why so many incidents with trains happen in Marysville. I just need medication along with all the other natural remedies I feel to rid of this. I can barely go out in public anymore and I miss my family and friends. They now totally open up my head and neck at night and now my pictures include blood with gaping holes. I can’t take this anymore ..
    I’m in pain and it’s like a nightly horror show. Do you still have this or are you rid of it somehow?

  16. I have been suffering in every aspect of life because of this. Your reply just brought me so much hope. I have read from someone else that has suffered from this that It is a parasite from biting midges or what we call them here in tennessee, no-see-ums.

  17. Dear Steph, this is Laverne and in my first sentence in the first comment I sent you, I meant to say you are NOT delusional! I apologize, I should have written it more carefully before sending. You are not delusional nor is anyone else with struggling with this!

  18. Do you mean parasitologist? A pathologist is a doctor who performs autopsies and report cause of death.

  19. Steph what’s the supplement you mentioned you were going to share with the moderator? Best just to put it in the comments. I’ve been researching thousands of hours the last 2.5 years also a too smart for my own good. I have Lyme and fibro and my guts a mess. I’ve thought it was some kind of parasitic fungus and that there’s a mold component along with nano technology and possibly dna altering. Thanks for all your helpful knowledge. I’ve been sharing everything I find. Out to on quora and other people on this site..Good work. God speed and God bless everyone

  20. Thank you!!!! I have been experiencing the EXACT same sympoms you describe for a long time and I couldn’t find any information or anyone who understood what i was talking about. Now I can better explain my symptoms to find more information. Once again, Thank you so much for sharing!!!

  21. Use olive oil and coconut oil on your hair. Try emu aide on your scalp and with the dogs. It’s greasy and will ruin furniture tho. Don’t use insecticides on the dogs it will make it worse. Do organic things. Give them probiotics and take them too. Use anti fungal body wash on you and the dogs. Use anti fungal cream on your body too. Try dandruff shampoo. For cleaning I use that thieves stuff. You can get their laundry detergent too. I use it to mop the floor.. the liquid kind.

  22. Look up string theory. Yes I get the black specs too, brown ones and used to get the tiny white puff balls. Sometimes they look like they melt into the air. The move on my skin and go back into it too. Latelly I just get the white squiggly hairs and tiny black specs.

  23. I can’t stand when clothes pile because of that. I have to wash all of my clothes with similar fibers together because if it. Interesting you noticed that the little lent things bother you too. I use micro fiber face clothes and pillow covers. I also sleep with a microfiber blanket. I never use any clothing, towels or bedding if they are made in China. They itch the worst.

  24. I wish we could get each others email and communicate. Maybe we could start a Facebook group and call it something no one would be able to judge us or identify us by. I got it in California 2013 It is intelligent. It’s been gone for years and coming back but It will give away. I throw away any clothes I feel it on too. Makes your face climb or nose tingle I get these super hard black hairs around my jaw line. Sometimes I get magnetic in my chest. The less attention I give it the better. I just got the weird bubble rash last week and it went away with anti fungal cream. Doctor said my c3 and c4 levels are low but I don’t have lupus. Very strange. Too much to go into but grateful I’ve met my tribe on here. Currently my dog is hiding under the couch. Poor guy.

  25. You are on point sir! I hope you re read everything on here. It will help. They won’t let me share same advice replying to everyone.

  26. You are on point sir! Read what I wrote several times above and you will heal yourself.

  27. I wish we could read each others emails or start a Facebook group. I don’t want my name shared. Maybe we could call it something people wouldn’t know was tied to this mystery illness. Went to my Dr. today he said I have low C3 and C4 but no lupus, no Luke’s disease. I’m the mystery patient. I’ve gotten better they just ocassionally appear when stressed.

  28. Please don’t do that. I found the cure. Accept it as a gift and move forward with your life. It’s part fungal, some sort of bio sensor. I got it working for someone in bio tech that has 80+ bio technology patents. It’s all connected. Once you accept it as a gift you notice they happen mainly if you’re not eating healthy, sleeping enough, stressed. It’s telling you when something is off. Use anti fungal cream all over your body. Use anti fungal wash too. Stay away from dimethicone, silicone, dairy, gluten, yeast and sugar. Take probiotics I wish I could talk to you. Post your email if allowed and we can connect. I used to live in California and moved when I heard from my pathologist that it is environmental. I stay away from GMO cotton and food. Anything made in China makes it worse. I also got on a supplement I will share with the moderator of this site. Look up string theory. It’s all connected. You’re going to be okay.

  30. Yes! You got it girl! Thank you! All those things helped me too! Antifungal cream and body wash helps. The probiotic is key!

  31. Read my comments I posted it could help you what helped me. I posted several. I will share with you what healed me. Stay strong.

  32. Read my comments I posted it could help you what helped me. I posted several. You’re not crazy and I will share with you what healed me. Stay strong.

  33. Read what I posted that helped me it might help you. Antifungal cream helped me and took a pea six amount of ivermectine .. wait 2-3 weeks do it again.. and do a third cycle. Be very careful it can hurt you if you take too much. You literally need just a drop. Pea size amount. Antifungal body wash & probiotics to clean out your gut. Read my other comments too.

  34. Yes same! You’re not imagining it. They multiply and move with UV or flourescent lights. I posted what helps me below you can read in my other posts. They do move and you can feel an energy from them. Dandruff shampoo helped me, olive oil and coconut oil on scalp. Try and stay off products with dime tho one or silicone. I also use anti fungal body wash. Probiotics help a lot! Clear out your gut and go all natural.

  35. I posted a bunch of comments read what worked for me. I went to a pathologist. Dr. Karjoo. I basically posted everything he helped with. Just stay away from silicone, dime thi one and silica. Use all natural cleaning products. I used thieves oil and young living thieves cleaning to mop. Try anti fungal cream all over. Get on probiotics. Don’t take psyche meds will
    Make it worse. You’re not crazy. Declutter and get rid of what you feel makes it worse. You’ll know. I use microfiber sheets and wash clothes. I stay away from anything made in China. I have so many tips I could go on and on. Don’t tell your Dr. they’ll think you’re nuts. I went to a naturopath. You’re going to get better and get through this. Give it time. ?

  36. I also used thieves oil and thieves for cleaning. Don’t use chemicals to get rid of it will make it worse. Vinegar or thieves for cleaning is best. One of those young living bottles. I got off Amazon.

  37. Look up string theory and quantum physics. It’s absolutely tied to electricity and fungal. I believe it’s some sort of nano tech.

  38. Omg I notice the electricity component too!!!! ? I’m so grateful to meet people that understand me. I believe they could be part bio sensors. They are attracted to UV and bright lights. I have been through a lot over the years and cured it. It’s coming back but I’ll get rid of it again. Read my posts above. I took ivermectine, use fungal cream, take lots of probiotics and started taking NRF2. I can post link if it’s allowed. Once I accepted it as a gift and stopped living in fear it got better. It ruined my entire life and I had to start over. You’re not crazy this is real. Thank you to everyone sharing ? We will heal! Get your gut health in check. Stay away from processed foods and GMO. Stay away from yeast, bread and cotton if you can. Anything made in China makes it worse.

  39. I dealt with this living in San Diego. If you garden try to stay out of the garden. Use clotrimine cream. It’s part fungal. Take probiotics as much as you can. I take the kind from Trader Joe’s. Take a detox bath with hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, sea salt, rubbing alcohol, and a gallon of vinegar. Use a lot of everything. Except the rubbing alcohol. Shave your arms and legs. Stay away from cotton. Try and use microfiber wash clothes or paper towels. They are attracted to dark colors. Stay away from anything with dimethicone & silicone. I stay away from any silica supplements too. Get your gut health in check. Stay away from yeast and gluten. Try and use all natural products. Stay away from flouresent or UV lights. Get a grounding Matt. I stay away from anything made in China. You’re going to be okay and you’re not crazy. Don’t get on Xanax or whatever Dr. prescribes. It’s not in your head. Use coconut oil or olive oil in your scalp if it itches or dandruff shampoo. Trust me use the fungal cream when you itch. Get rid of things you think you need too. Declutter and know everything is happening for a reason. You are guided and protected. Stay in peace and have no fear.

    I take a little bit of ivermectine once a year but take a pea size amount in apple sauce. Not for babies. You could try a dewormer for babies.

  42. Omg I too. It has ruined clothing, furniture,. I moved but it followed. Now I am riddled with sores and lost 45lbs and my lungs are introuble

  43. My little one has an incredibly strong immune system and is showing some signs. This mortifies me.

  44. Joe, are you still viewing this forum?? You noticed an electricity component too!!??

  45. I am, we are, so fortunate to have one another to support & share information with!! I have been sick with this for 2-3 years. While I appreciate Heidi’s “cure”, it isn’t a cure at all. Please don’t stress yourself trying to find this product. Unfortunately, it does not work. I was wondering if anyone noticed an electricity component to this invader??? I live in Kentucky if this helps anyone, however, I became sick after a week long Beach trip in Florida’s Gulf of Mexico. I am led to believe that this illness is somehow correlated to electricity. I have been affected by having MRI’s, E-STEM and have noticed an abundance of power failures and light flickering in my presence. I can freaking feel other people’s bodies natural electricity just by touching them. I know this sounds crazy!!! But I strongly believe this is a link. I have spent months studying and learning through scientific case studies, parasites, bacteria, viruses, fungi, the body, chemistry, electricity, etc. I have a double Bachelor’s degree and am probably “too smart” for my own good. I will not stop looking for answers because my life has been shattered, all joy in life came to a halt years ago. I’ve lost my job, friends, hobbies, etc. If I die from this, I’d like to know that I didn’t die in vain. I will continue to seek answers not just for myself, but for all you others out there suffering with this.

  46. My mom and I are dealing with the same problem here in Santa Cruz California! We noticed these white little white fibers sticking to us all over and they feel like they are crawling on you like bugs! They are tons and tons in our hair they like fuse to your hair and wrap around it and my mom believes there making her hair dead and dry and fall out but I have noticed my actual hair on my head coming alive like the the little white strands are possessing my hair to go in to my eyes, mouth, nose and ears!!I have noticed it constant tickling, itching and even feel like they are biting me! They come more active and alive in direct sun light or even a flash light, if you hold one of the white strings up to a flash light you can actually see it move away from the light it’s super weird!!! I have also started noticing them all around my room and even there sticking to old spider webs and are wiggling on the webs like a worm!! I have lots of videos to prove these white little lint like stings are something not normal!!! Something dropped out of space by another planet if u ask me!!

  47. Wow…. I am in southeast Michigan (very close to Ohio / Michigan border… I began noticing and having symptoms June 2022 (maybe the very end or beginning I can’t recall) as well.

    Something is absolutely not “normal” about any of this. I believe it is more than some naturally occurring pathogen.

    I wish you both well and pray that we find some solutions to the nightmare. ??

  48. Wow…. I am in southeast Michigan (very close to Ohio / Michigan border… I began noticing and having symptoms June 2022 (maybe the very end or beginning I can’t recall) as well.

    Something is absolutely not “normal” about any of this. I believe it is more than some naturally occurring pathogen.

    I wish you both well and pray that we find some solutions to the nightmare. ??

  49. Cliff or ANYONE= Please (any of you who see/read this post contact me – email @ comment end) 2nd spring in a row I am dealing with this nightmare. All the things all these post in this entire thread have listed are part of my ongoing nightmare with these moving threads which then turn into all this wonky Parasite looking organisms that are always in my hair. I have seen the dermatologist twice, most recently this week who said I had seborrhic dermatitis and gave me an RX for medicated shampoo and some scalp oil. Whatever!! I have no skin involvement, only scalp/hair. I have washed and soaked my hair overnight and every essential oil, mite pesticide, vinegar, everything possible, and before I can even get my hair dried with a towel I feel them moving under my scalp. I have some really wild photos. (like thousands of them.) and some great videos of my dancing hair strands. Last year I was placed on ivermectin-oral and topical, prescribed antibiotic and given steroids-nothing changed @ all. I’m so sick of this. It is affected every area of my life.. My husband of 38 years and I are currently separated- very happily married until this mess started – he thinks I am delusional so I just dropped it and I don’t bring it up. We are in marriage counseling attempting to reconcile. We will if I don’t bring any of this up again? ? I will suffer in silence but I need help, I am so tired of washing my hair multiple times a day and vacuuming like a crazy woman. They are everywhere, my clothes, my Jeep, and where ever I have been you can definitely tell bc they fall friendly from my hair, even after having just washed it-again! go nowhere because I am so self-conscious. I will no longer go for my usual cut and color in fear. My stylist will notice. I am in a living hell. I have too mini-dachshunds who are very clean and pampered, they sleep with me and I am afraid I have given it to them or vice versa. I have them with medicated shampoo, I spray them with insect deterrent and they get baths so often I feel guilty. Can anyone please email me what I can do about the that constantly is everywhere that I know is these weird string things, what to get to use in my hair to get rid of this garbage, what can I add to my laundry so that the remnants of this hair debris is not still stuck to my clean clothes after laundering and finally, how/what do I treat my dogs w/ if I don’t even know what to treat my own self with. Please help a girl out. la*******@*tt.net

  51. I am confused. Is this Pelodera strongyloides parasite worms? Or a fungus!?

    I had a sore on my chest that I think it’s possible a midge could have landed on it while I was outside in a hot tub. Then I got a really bad infection and once I started cleaning the skin, I noticed the white hairs moving on every type of material I used…

    Btw I was using a 1% acetic acid (diluted distilled white vinegar) and betadine to clean the area and I felt like it may have helped to kill off some of the parasite. But I have another derm appt next week so l I will have them do a deep skin scraping!!

  52. Thank you so much. I have a two year old son and it has been a year of suffering. It has gotten to the point where my whole family stopped talking to me and everyone thinks I’m just losing my mind since my son’s father died when he was give months old. This st Patty’s day will be two years and we are on our own. I’m to afraid to ask anyone and the pediatrician is constantly calling Dyfys and saying she’s concerned for the child’s welfare yet every test I ask for such as parasitic testing on his fecal matter she denies so once we have health insurance again I am definitely changing doctors I really appreciate your help I’m saving up some money so I can try to order everything you listed feel free to contact me anytime

  53. I’m in Seattle too! And I have this same thing!!!! And more! I have videos , pictures, I’ve saved many of them! I also have either as a part of the “kinky string” parasite or secondary some sort of skin infection-that also appears on damn near every and any wet surface! And those little long kinky strings grow from it. It’s a clear sheet like idk fungus? I don’t know how to ass photos and videos but it has taken over my skin! And these kinky strings grow out of my face ,fingers, all over clothing, sponges etc!! And no one I see medically will help me. It’s in my saliva and poo too. I’m 100% sure I’m dying from it.

  54. Hi how are you? My name is Nicci Thome and I can relate to you. I am a nurse but havent practiced in a year due to catching something from my patient. I worked in a treatment center for patients suffering from addiction. I am in recovery myself and love being a nurse until I was plagued with whatever this is and more. The parasites are what is causing the thoughts of possible suicide. I want you to start taking NAC, Vitamin C and NAD+ with reservatrol. I have been in and out of the hospital for almost a year and was in a coma in 2021 so my immune system is weak and thats how we start catching or noticing bec even stress can cause all of this and our body cant fight them off normally. Mine is a lot more complicated because it became so bad that i no longer have a right ear due to the bacteria secondary infections eating the cartilage away causing and even more serious infection so you need to learn how to deal with stress and take stuff to help with stress and oxidative vitamins which I named it and as well as glutathione that you should take will help tremendously and Celtic Sea salt it helps to hydrate your body correctly so the water gets into the cells by no means my doctor or trying to give you medical advice I am a nurse like I said and I have been played with a numerous numerous things since last year I started losing my hair you name it I could send you pictures I don’t know if you Garden I don’t know if you have houseplants things that could possibly have types of slugs or anything of that nature even walking in the grass things like that you could have missed from anywhere but a lot of times their liver flukes and could be a type of pinworm horse hair worm you name it your body is not able to fight it off at this moment. I don’t know if you have pets but they can also carry a lot of the worms and stuff like that and not know it because they’re going outside to use the restroom that walking in and tracking it back so giardia could be a cause of it there’s so many different so many different things bloodworms I don’t know if you an aquarium or you have well water things like that click from from the soil I live in Florida and I know that my patient had flicked a type of slug and it landed in the back of my head which now has caused a number of different things with me and look up some of the stuff I’m talking about and please let me know how you do with it. If you would like you can email me at nu************@***il.com and update me or ask questions. I will send you pics if you want to see what has happened with me and vice versa. If you want to just reaxh out and talk please do. God bless and look i have lost everuthing bec of what is going on due to how fast I deteriorated and the company I was working for made it out to look as if I was crazy and i was baker acted from work due to inconspicuous behavior when they coukd see the spots where my hair fell out and knew the patient flicked something on me and was picking his arm and flinging it on my desk. Mine started in Feb of last year and was in and out of hospital and they let me go after baker acting and embarrassing me in front of my entire job with employees and patients watching. I am finally contacting a lawyer tomorrow because i was railroaded and they fired me falsely and due to my complaints of being bit in nursing station and possibly catching something from a patient they went the route they did and hope and pray i am able to get the compensation from them I deserve because I was bigger than April 16th and fired by April 20th after them doing absolutely nothing and knowing I was losing my hair the symptoms I was having everything so try some of those things are all of them especially the NAC and nad+ with Reserve control and glutathione and let me know how you’re doing.

  55. I’ve been dealing with this for over a year, it has effectively ruined my life. I was diagnosed with delusional parasitosis and prescribed antipsychotics. I stopped talking about it because no one believes me. I can’t concentrate, can’t work, this overtakes my attention all the time. I live in Seattle WA. I’ve taken video and photos of these things and even got a small microscope to try to understand what the hell these things are. If anyone has found a cure or a doctor who knows what this is, please comment below, I’m desperate for help.

  56. My message is for Laverne.. I too have noticed both times I’ve had this I found the presence of carpet beetles! I had it in San Diego and it took over my life for a year and u shaved my head and kept my hair short like a #2 buzz cut the entire time and kept no facial hair to keep it down and see easily on my scalp and face. And I noticed my dog was really affected the same way as me and that other gnats and bugs are attracted to me when I’m being plagued by this thing too?? I thought the carpet beetles introduced another parasite that it carried on it or something ya know? But like everyone else haven’t been able to pinpoint it exactly :/ I did end up moving up to mount Shasta, Ca from San Diego where it started and at the time I had these things in my truck and on me and my dog and I only took a suitcase worth of clothes and a tent and left everything else in bags and totes in storage in San Diego and after about 3 months of eating better and detoxing and my dog swimming in the headwaters of the Sacramento River the symptoms eventually went away?! So due to that I always thought it was mold? But about 9 months ago I moved down to Redding, CA and the house is old and dusty and needs slot of work and my family who bought the house didn’t bother to have a pest control person or a air duct guy come out and check for mold and clean the ducts and spray for bugs so after about 3 months of living in the home the unmistakable crawling sensation and itching came back and after looking around everywhere I found carpet beetles again but I do think they are in the duct work and also that there is mold too in the duct work? So I’m being plagued again and really don’t wanna cut my hair off cuz it never made it go away fully but it did help and I didn’t have it in my eyes and nose as much soo I’m kinda stuck and all I can think to fix it is to leave everything behind again and run away with my dog to the mountains and heal again ugghhh

  57. Hi there Cliff,
    I’ve been looking for weeks for anything that resembled what I’m experiencing. You said you had written down info on it. If you still had that, would you mind sending it to me? What a great idea, I think I’ll start doing that myself as there are so many different ways it presents and acts (I may be dealing with more than one critter though)
    Aside from the fact that my husband and daughter think I’m nuts about the whole thing, even “I” thought that I was going crazy for thinking this thing (whatever it is) intelligent. But I swear sometimes, its trying to trick me to do what IT wants me to. (i.e….it’ll distract me with pain on the opposite side of my body, but -only when I notice it. Or if it needs an entrance, make me itch in that spot like crazy)
    I realize THAT might be pushing it a lil, but I’m NOT imaging that they’re here and making my life miserable

    I hope you’re still free of it, and please feel free to email or ask me anytime as well. I truly appreciate it!

  58. Try taking Usnea – this is the term for the extraction from ‘Old Man’s Beard’ a lichen that grows in coastal ares and the plant that the entire Tetracycline>Doxycycline compound it based on. It is a strong anti fungal and can be taken internally, but I strongly recommend you purchase this product from Humboldt Herbals (phone order only). It is important that it is processed in a double distillation method and the alcohol used for the first distillation uses cane sugar alcohol. The primary distillation with this type of alcohol will produce the the highest concentration. I also recommend chewing raw garlic regularly, rinsing with salt water, and applying straight salt to your tongue/mouth as long as you can stand it followed by a rinse and brush. The results are amazing. Mix a few drops of cinnamon oil with vitamin E and apply to face and neck, you can also add few drops to your shampoo. Tea tree oil, Bentonite clay applied all over; you can use this on your scalp, and full body 1 time per week. Make sure you are purchasing pharmaceutical grade products. Every time you wash your clothes add drops of cinnamon oil or peppermint + Borax. Throw out your shoes, freeze or use cold storage when you can’t let go of things. Highly recommend a probiotic like SEED (google it) the stronger your gut the stronger your resistance. Cryo sessions, cryogenic facials – amazing results. Infrared saunas followed by cold dips – make it a habit. Stop sugar and dairy, go 80%+ organic foods. Soy is good, gluten bad, organic meats only. Follow a mold detox diet. Clean your electronics. Lint roll all clothes. SUNLIGHT, let it in. If you do not know the source of the mold, move. As long as you are in the environment it will only get worse.

  59. Wow I too have the same issue recently moved threw away almost everything got new furniture and all. However recently I started using a purple conditioner (it actually tints the hair purple since I stopped dying it (because it seemed to really make it flair up) the purple tinted conditioner really seemed to help and I do not know why either. Also I started using lume soap and deodorant it helps also and we invented in a room a vacuum it’s amazing!

  60. I only visited Washington right before I got this but lived in a moldy environment. Wonder if that’s related…

  61. You are definitely not nuts! I have to say when this all started for me I also contemplated the same. And as someone who would have never even considered the thought before this started happening to me I totally get it. Hang in there please and keep trying- I found mine to be related to mold where I lived. I have since moved about 4 months now and I’m doing a bit better not 100% but mentally able to cope.

  62. Thank you for your input and what you do to manage this. I also have the same exact symptoms as above!!

  63. Send me a copy of the data that you’ve collected please. The part when you said you get intense sweats was spot on especially after a good shower. I always thought it was all the “crapp”(creams&lotions) I was putting on! I’m interested in the “glass” that came out of your feet, I personally don’t have pain/swelling in my feet (could be because I shattered both my “saddle bones” in my ankles in an accident that temporarily killed me) I have terrible blood flow in my feet but my hands swell like inflated gloves and the pain can be intense. I’ve seen small particles that glitter in the right angles and can be mistaken for salt but when I try to crush it with tweezers checking if it pops it’s as hard as a diamond and it just shoots out the tweezers. I can find them in/on my knuckles or side of my fingers! In the beginning when I thought I found a way to beat it, after cleaning my truck of the infestation (so I thought) leaving the car wash I put my hand under my seat to adjust myself (remember I just washed vacuumed and sprayed the entire truck) just within seconds my hand was burning/stinging; as I brought it up to look it was covered with what looked like whiteish lint strings and balls as I was lifting my hand I could see some of these things “letting go” and float around! Take in mind that I had the window open and there was air flow but they never blew out the window; instead they “floated”/”hovered” as if looking for somewhere to land. This was when I learned they will “attack” or should I say retaliate and go straight for the mouth or nose. I really want to know what your experience was and if it was anything like mine? Oh yeah to add every time I go into “battle” with them I get those intense sweats and in the end I’m drenched in sweat and “they” just start to remultiply and replenish whatever I destroyed!
    Please lmk

  64. Yes, once you’ve found how to eliminate them they will start attacking!! Specifically they will “work together” as if they’re “communicating” and combine/joining together and target your face, going straight to your mouth and nasal cavities. I’ve had them on and off for over a year; can never completely get rid of them. Sux when nobody believes you so I just don’t talk about it. With all the data I’ve learned is that it appears when mold is present (or what seems to be black mold).

  65. EXCITING UPDATE! A regular All About Worms reader named Heidi has, after extensive research, discovered both what are these parasites that look like hair that are infecting humans (or at least infecting her), and a cure to eradicate them! Read the write-up of the information that she shared with us here.


  66. Your children most likely won’t get bc it only attacks you bc you have auto immune disease. It’s black mold poisoning and/ an over infestation of candidas. Steroids help temporarily and I wrote a comment above explaining how I have, not beat them, but have learned to manage them so they don’t consume my life.

  67. Everything you are experiencing is real. I have been managing it for almost 6 plus years. It’s black mold posioning and canidids. In certain places do you feel attacked like you walk through a nest. You have black mold and you have an auto immune disease. Bc your immune system is weakened you become an easy target and it attacks you. Steroids help but temporarily bc they are smart and become immune quickly. So you can use steroid cream or Prednisone intermittently. Every weird thing you have done to impede them, every chemical you have used to kill them, every negotiation you have had with them I have done as well I promise you. It’s not in your head and you are not crazy and I am sorry to say I haven’t found a cure I have just learned to keep them in one area of my body and learned to live with the fact they are not going away. But I don’t feel like pig pen when the light hits me anymore and my hair doesn’t have a mind of its own anymore. Here is how I manage: Take a round of a z pack or Prednisone and while they are gone temporarily throw everything out or wash everything in cold water and alcohol. Spray your house (attic, basement) down with water and alcohol while wearing a mask covering your ears, nose, mouth, hair and eyes . They will come back but not as bad. Take baths with Epson salt and soak your hair as well as your body. Use combs and clean them constantly, they love sugar and dairy so cut down or out completely, wash your sheets every other day and get new pillows. I know it seems like a lot and it gets overwhelming but it can be manageable and it’ll stop consuming your life. You would be surprised at how many people are going thru the EXACT same thing you are!!

  68. Your not crazy and I’m experiencing the same ordeal. No one believes me! Sometimes I feel as if something is biting me, does this also happen to you all as well? I’m not sure what to do at this point?

  69. I’m experiencing the same symptoms as you and it is driving me completely insane also to point of contemplating suicide. I’ve been to numerous doctors dermatologists and they all say the same thing. At this point I’m not really sure about what I should do. Some days it’s not so bad but others I feel as if I’m being eaten alive! I see that the majority of these comments are from the Washington area but I’m in Kentucky. Is whatever this is possibly across the United States by now. I’ve racked my brain and done endless research but nothing really helps. Maybe some other country has released this on us or it’s possibly a government experiment gone wrong? Your guess is as good as mine. I really don’t know what to do at this point and it’s now affecting my overall body and draining my energy level. I’ve had to get multiple cortisone shots because of such bad muscle pain! PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!

  70. Oh my gosh
    I don’t know how this works but I have been trying to find out if ANYONE has this other than me.
    I have the exact same situation.
    I have these in my eyes too.
    I wonder has this been identified?

  71. I have the EXACT same issue!!! Have been searching the web for years trying to find even just one other person dealing with this issue!! I have videos of them dangling from scalp and moving….there is also a dust like “something ” that cokes out of scalp, eyes, ears and any follicles basically.
    I have seen so many Dr’s that insist its a psychological issue, which enrages me because I have no mental health issues! I have TRIED to show videos with blatant proof and no one will even look! I have been DISMISSED and IGNORED by every specialist! They get paid to address medical issues and I can even get a blood test or one to even glance at my proof…..disgusting!
    4 years and it is debilitating! I put tissues up my nose just to eat!
    Have you had ANY success with a diagnosis or help of any sort???…..

  72. Oh my gosh
    I don’t know how this works but I have been trying to find out if ANYONE has this other than me.
    I have the exact same situation.
    I have these in my eyes too.
    I wonder has this been identified?

  73. Hey everyone, I have been dealing with this for about two years now. Something that has stood out is that I have been working from home since 2020 covid and found that I was being attacked around my computer set up. I felt that it had to do with static cling/I have two huge Mac desktops side by side and wondered if the energy from my setup had something to do with it. So today I was cleaning my computer desk and noticed some of these particles were almost glued to the desk and some seemed to be melted in the wood and lost their “white” color. They are more brown now witch might have to do with the desk being brown. They look like pen marks almost but they are definitely there. I noticed a few were flinching which is what caught my attention. This whole situation has really taken too much of my time and I am very exhausted by it. I feel comfort in knowing I am not alone but also hope for the day we all get to move on and forget we had to deal with this out of nowhere situation.

  74. I HAVE LOOKED ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH NOTHING THAT LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE MY WHITE LIKE FIBERS,UNTIL TODAY.
    I LIVE PACIFIC NW.

    Please did the person get any help from the suggested parasitologist?

  75. Hi Cliff, I started really paying attention to these worm-like fibers about a couple weeks ago. We have cats, both with white fur in spots, so who knows how long they’ve been around. Plus I have blonde hair so that doesn’t help either. I have not had them go inside my body that I’m aware of. I’m also battling with a carpet beetle infestation that my husband refuses to believe we have. I have the larvae eating my hair which is so disturbing already, I can’t imagine having these alien clear white worm fibers making their inside my body. My husband said it’s just hair and static from me holding them is what’s making them move. He’s a skeptic about most everything and that’s frustrating within itself. I think these things are not natural. I truly believe they were created in a bio lab and are probably not carbon based either. It wouldn’t surprise me because nothing much does anymore. Even carpet beetles, in my fifty some years I have never heard of carpet beetles until this past year! They claim that they are native to the middle east. But who knows, they too could have been created in some bio lab as well. We live in a crazy world. We always have really but the difference nowadays is, is that many of us have awakened and have been looking at it with our eyes wide open now.
    It’s obvious that none of us are crazy or on drugs and hopefully the rest of the people on the planet wake up and start paying attention.

  76. I just made a Youtube page so I can help spread awareness of this fungus. I posted a backlight video so you can see how much this stuff glows and a video of a new method I’ve been using (better than the purple shampoo and probably safer). Garlic and Lemon blended in water. As soon as it hits one of these fungus things, they appear. The garlic/lemon makes them lose their invisibility cloak or whatever you call there defense mechanism that makes them impossible to see. I hope this helps some of you. If anyone has videos they don’t want to post themselves, send them my way and I’ll post and credit them to you or whatever you’d like and I’ll post them on my page. If you’d like to check them out, the link is http://www.Youtube.com/@NotSoFungus
    ALSO I’d like to say thank you to the moderators of this page and website. This is a place where some of us can vent about a topic we have to keep to ourselves everyday, in fear of being judged or told we’re not seeing what we’re seeing. This is a place we don’t feel crazy because there’s others who are dealing with the same thing, and it’s hard to explain how much the feeling of relating to someone else’s experience is with this issue, because for a long time some of us have been told by others that we’re imagining this. Most of the time we cant even ask our doctors for help, so this is a huge relief in so many ways. Thank you for your open mindedness and for not censoring us! Unlike Patient.info, who delete posts for no reason, other than maybe ffagree with or believe them. Thank you The Top Worm and AllAboutWorms.com

  77. I wish I didn’t know *exactly* that you meant by all of that. The picture on this article looked like it could’ve been mine. Le sigh.

    And….. Am I the only one who struggles to find answers that aren’t related to morgellon’s, amphetamines, mental illness, or some smattering of all of the above?

  78. I’d love to help if possible. Whats up Bugatti? Just need to know where to start? Check some of my other comments, I explain what I do to get
    rid of them. I can’t guarrenttee they’ll go away fully, but I keep them in chceck. Whats your email?

  79. Ok so the toner shampoo that i know works is “OGX Blonde Enhance + Purple Toning Shampoo”. Theres others that work too, but theres also some that dont, and I just know that this one, specifically works well. If your feet are bad (thats where I get it the worst as well), you want to rub a dab of toner on the toe or area and wet a paper towel and just rub it on the spot the fungus is on. Keep the area the fungus is on, constantly wet though, and with paper towels. So I put like 2 wet paper towels folded under the area, and then wipe with another slightly wet paper towel with toner, so it can still absorb the fungus as it extracts. It will just looks like water when it comes out because the water is bringing it out. When you trap it in the paper towel, you may be able to feel it… like I know I can feel it’s energy. maybe everyone can, but Im sensitive to energy/feeling so maybe thats why idk… it also adds a weight to the paper towel.. like when I throw one into the trash, I notice a big change in the way it moves in the air. Like something pulls it down.. So yeah I hope this helps. I’m excited to hear how this works for you. Talking with other people who have this helps a lot. It makes me almost feel normal. It’s so hard not being able to talk about something you spend 90% of your day thinking about because of what other people may think… Yeah the mental part of this is
    the hardest. Goodluck. I’ll email you and a few of the other people who gave their emails recently too.

  80. Hi cliff Please dm me. I thought that i had beaten it but its back. And much more painful than its ever been. My feet are constantly aching and cramping. I am feeling so powerless.my partner plays the delusional game and acts like he doesn’t experience it. I know he does because i see it. And he ,for whatever reason ,cannot commit to any kind if protocol for remedies or cleaning. No follow through. When you look at them under the uv flashlight do they fluoresce neon green? Sometimes i can see them floating in the air because of the glint of light they make. This is the most horrid thing that I’ve ever had to deal. Today i am no doing so well. Its raining and my spouse turned on the heater that is located on our roof with a bunch if small puddles.. its operated by a heat pump that ices over regularly. I can smell the mildew blowing into the house everytime he turns it on. Well he turned it on today and i realized sfter it eas on fir 20 min that i started feeling very strange. My joints started aching and a cough then stinging and my ski. On my legs and arms are blotchy and my face has trackmarks that are very snake.like on it and patches of dark around my ears eyes. Its almost as if they are raining in the room i am in now. if look at them from a certain angle they have a uv florescence to them and they are everywhere. I am so so tired of this like i want to end it all tired. I cant be close to anyone for fear that i will infect them. My cat’s shake their heads and scratch every time i walk by. I almost feel like i am magnetically pulling them towards me or they are in attack mode and i amthe target. It hurts really bad. I finally got him to turn off that horrible heater.i dont know what to do anymore . I fear that i am going to lose my mind, my relationship, and end up on the streets. Instead im hiding out in the bathroom. We just moved into a beautiful home nut it has carpet and i noticed the other day that there is a lot of flying bugs coming from it. I took the bl flashlight and saw that the carpet hadnt been cleaned in a long long time snd whomever lived here before us seemingly had a pet that they allowed it to go to the bathroom wherever it wanted. So gross and such a recipe for disaster. How an i going to tell the property owner without sounding crazy? Our deposit was astronomical and the carpet wasnt even cleaned?!?!my spouse isnt going to say anything about it,.but will. Oh ! The purple toner is gentian violet.

  81. so when you moved it followed you? because i assumed it left me when i went away for a few months, but im starting to think it may have just went dormant until i came back, like it hides around your home to re-enter you when you get rid of it. luckily i have hardwood floors, so ive seen progress again recently after cleaning big areas of fungus around the house, but carpet must be a nightmare, can only imagine how hard it must be get rid of it then… pets also may be a big reason we cant get rid of the stuff honestly, it hurts my dog a lot of times when im trying to get it off of him. and i cant continue… my dog is my everything so yeah its a nightmare, but losing my dog would truly be worse to me than living with this… so you said you needed some tips on getting rid of it, have you tried the purple hair toner shampoo? i use the one by osx. it wierdly works very well for removing the fungus. so you need to know that the fungus makes a layer over your skin. thats how it moves about freely all over us, when you do things to break that layer, thats when it comes out of your sweat glands, thats why you may feel hot and sweat after showers, because its spreading itself back onto you. use paper towels when you dry off and anytime you sweat because it gets trapped in them. youll start to notice how aware it is of what you’re doing. its very intelligent. throw the paper towels away in plastic garbage bag. tie it tight. the first time i ever used that purple toner shampoo, it was literally pouring out of me. eventually it’s not as effective, but it still is the best thing ive found. and idk if you can, but theres an energy it has, i notice it everytime i touch something that its on, or when its moving around on me. i feel it mostly in my back and thats where it seems to hide the most. in the areas toughest to reach… behind elbows, behind ears, back of head etc. i sweat through my feet mostly so theres always a lot there too, plus when it falls off you in shower, it will try and get on you through your feet, watch out for that. i really wish i could meet some of the people here, i cant talk about this with my normal friends because they dont understand i feel like im judged or sound crazy. if anyone wants to talk about this lmk

  82. so one just got into my tooth yesterday and now when i put my head by metal it starts to throb. its also caused an abscess tooth… this is a nightmare…. idk how im going to get this out of my mouth… so does anyone else think this is possibly man-made? im in san diego, and ive noticed other people who have it and most people have no idea… anyway i thought id share some new info ive learned the past few months about it that may help you if you dont already know… most importantly, do any of you notice that it can camaflouge? at first i thought it was able to go invisible lol, serisously!! but yes the fungus itself can camaflauge so when it wants to put things inside you, youre pretty screwed… but if you look at it closely when its camaflouging youll see how light hits it, it makes it almsot sparkle. purple toner shampoo (i get the kind by ogx beacause some say theyre toner but arent really) this stuff gets it out of you, im still using it and it works very good, but you have to wash it off or it can irritate your skin…. also it makes little leigions that never close. idk what these are but im pretty sure its something thats living… theres one on my leg, my face, my tooth, and for sure one in my nose, thats where i noticed the camaflauge. when you try and pull it out it hurts badly and if you get it out, get rid of it. i didnt realize i pulled it out and it crawled back into my nose! i poured out blood for 20 minutes. it gets into our food if you havent noticed yet. thats probably why some of us cant get rid of it. i wear gloves whenever i eat. in fact wear gloves all the time. and continue to change them. this thing can do some crazy things, but it cant crawl on rubber gloves. it like sticks to them, and to metal. and put plastic mattress cover on your bed. it will make a huge difference

  83. Omg I’ve been battling this for three years. I don’t bother telling anyone anymore since I’ve been labeled delusional. My kids and pets have it too. I pull them out of my skin and we excrete them also. I showed the doctor a video of one I pulled outta my skin that was moving about. She said it probably crawled in a wound and refused to hear me when I told her this happens daily from every part of our bodies. We also have massive abdominal issues that doctors keep dismissing. My kids miss school due to the discomfort sometimes. I’ve tried everything to get rid of these things but to no evail. I’ve seen many doctors and even went to a psychiatrist to prove I’m not delusional. This has now consumed my life. The quality of my existence is extremely poor (to put it mildly). I live in Canada btw. Please give me some tips as to how to eradicate this horrific experience so I can finally leave it in the past.

  84. I have been going through this exact same thing since the end of June 2022 and so has my boyfriend. We both started going through this at the exact same time but he is worse than me and we both are going crazy over trying to figure out what exactly it is. We have been to doctors and told nothing is wrong, our families think we are crazy. We just want this to go away and for it all to stop. We are in Ohio

  85. Dear WCP, please hang in there. And if you are serious about saying that you’ve “just reached the point that I’m contemplating suicide”, please call a therapist or suicide prevention hotline (800-273-8255), please *don’t* let this get the better of you!

  86. For context, I’m a normal person with no history of mental illness. I’m a male in my mid 30’s. I do not use drugs and rarely drink alcohol. I have a six figure income working as a business professional at large international organization in the biotech/life science industry. That said, I began experiencing what I thought was hyperactive/ skin sensitivity issues about 6 months ago. I kept feeling like something was on my skin in areas all over my body. It became difficult to concentrate at work (and still is- more so now). Eventually I started noticing tiny particles like dust floating off me? Around me? Looking closer I realized they were tiny white hairlike things. When I felt the feeling on my skin, I began pinpointing the exact location and carefully checking for a source. Every time, it was one of these white things. They have pierced the skin and caused lesions in many cases. I have tried every possible solution to fix this issue with no relief (HEPA purifiers, brand new washer dryers, lotions, washes, allergy tests and medications. Nothing has worked, and in fact, the problem has only gotten worse. To be honest, when I used to hear about/read comments like this, I immediately assumed those people were mentally ill. I never imagined I would find myself in this position (maybe it’s the same with becoming a homeless person, it happens TO you, not because of you?) Anyways, so far I’ve managed to work through the uncertainty and absurdity of it all and keep my career intact. I’ve only just reached the point that I’m contemplating suicide. I can’t express how crazy that sounds coming from me, and if you knew who I was (many of you may, I was a public figure for some time) you would agree. Normal, very blessed guy up until recently. I know this post won’t make a change on my end, but hopefully it helps someone else who “gets this” to realize they aren’t nuts. Wish you all the best in this. Ciao

  87. Me too ! Doctors don’t , or don’t want to…
    Even my family thinks I’m crazy :(
    I’m getting there. So miserable & itchy & frustrated. My hair, my hair clothes. car, furniture.
    I can even see it on other people (who seem unbothered – ?! )
    Relieved to have found this blog . Maybe there is hope or answers! I stopped trying over a year ago with drs . And try not to mention to family . Still consumes my thoughts time UGH! I am in New Mexico , by the way . I don’t think it’s a regional problem.

  90. Cliff how do I get a hold of you. I 100% agree with you it’s got something to do with a fungus and have found the black light very helpful as well. I noticed a waxy residue on my scalp and eyelashes from the very start and figured it was seebum but now I’m not so sure. But I have tons of pics and videos and also began documenting all the crazy things that I noticed and you seem to have picked up on some of them that I haven’t heard anybody else mention. Email me if you want wormywormisum@gmail

  91. I live in Ellensburg Washington and have had the same thing since 2019.
    Article describes how it started for me too exactly.

    6 months ago in 2022
    I started to lose my hair in clumps because the white ones had gotten so out of control and would get all wrapped up and knotted into rats in my hair that I couldn’t comb my brush or even fingers thru it without ripping clumps out every time I showered or got ready. I’ve gone from waist length hair all my life to completely bald on top and about 3 inches long along the hair line. I’m only 39. I also have them in my eyelashes and pubic region and it’s made my life miserable.

    My cats also have it and they too are miserable. The long haired cat licks his belly raw constantly and the short hair just swells up randomly and lays in one spot until it subsides sometimes for days. I’ve taken them both to 2 different vets as well as seen 2 different doctors myself and no one seems to be interested in watching any videos or looking at any pictures I bring which just makes no sense to me at all. I’m not expecting them to diagnose it based on a picture, all I want is for them to look at them and tell me either that is normal or yeah you know what they is odd let’s run some tests.

    It’s very frustrating and crazy making. I have over 10,000 pictures and probably 10 hours of combined footage that I’ve taken and they some of them are pretty remarkable if anyone’s interested in seeing them email me at Wormywormisum@gmail

  92. i never saw this comment before. Jessica, you are in a support group for these things? So there’s others who have them who go to talk about it somewhere? And what are they called specifically? Hypha? Yes they are deffinently a fungus! They jjust use hairs to camouflage to their host, and yup they float… almost fly sometimes! They have opened the door to some other things though, or maybe theyre manipulating these other things as well like they do with hairs. Ive noiced black specs recently that ive only recently seen these. Maybe a type of mite? Idk, but they do the same thing that the fungus does sometimes and when i try and grab it sometimes it willl slowly sink under a layer of skin (i think the layer is actually just fungus too, but it def looks like its going under your skin. Looks like its disappearing honestly, very deceptive , if i didnt know some of what i knew about this stuff, i may be thinking im losing it when that happens. Anyway I just wanted to see if you had any solid info on these things.. like the actual name for this parasitic haunting , or what other people in your group have done to convince a doctor to help… these things are very intelligent and i just got a new iphone today, and ive been waiting for it to document these things a little before i attempt to get rid of it again. Its so hard to find footage online, so i hope i can help spread the word.

  93. Omg, your poor baby. One of the worst things about this is that medical professionals think you’re using drugs if you try and show them hair coming out of your hands and tell them it’s worms. Ok, another thing you can do, which I couldn’t afford at the time, is to order Ivermectin online, human grade. You can’t get the human grade without a doctor in America, but you can get it online, I believe it comes from Canada. I’ve heard its almost guaranteed to get rid of them. Another forum I use to go on, until they started blocking our posts if the moderators didnt believe we were being honest or thought we were crazy, idk, but a lot of people said that was the only way they were able to fully get rid of this. Takes
    months btw. I’m going to do it that way myself soon. Anyway, yeah you should take every precaution with your baby. Latex gloves are good, the fungus isn’t mobile on the gloves. Also the fungus glows in blacklight! Best way to see if they’re on you guys… And again, this thing is hard to kill and it wants human hosts. It will attach to a dog, but its just there until it can get back to us. Be careful and I would order Ivermectin asap.. but for my own protection, I have to remind you that Im not a doctor, My highest med schooling was sitting in the nurses offic, faking a stomach ache in high shool to get out of a class i didnt have my homework for lol. I’m just giving the feedback I heard from other people who’ve been in this situation.

  94. Cliff I’ve been dealing with this issue for 2 years. I’m glad I found your comment could you please email me at or****@***oo.com all your research and pictures. I am in contact with medical professionals who are personally plagued by this.

    Thank you in advance.

  97. Hi I was living in Washington and got this. I thought maybe from mold spores but either way it’s exactly this. What can I do? I’m scared for my children who all have it too. What exactly can these things do to us? You seem to have the most medical information at least more than most about this crazy intelligent and vengeful entity. Please help. God bless you and keep you. My email address is ko***********@***il.com

  99. I am going through exactly this and weirdly I was also living in northwest Washington when I got it. Please help me with any information you can. I feel like im going crazy and everyone else thinks so too but I know that this is real and something is wrong. My email is ko***********@***il.com please send anything you can to help me fight this crazy smart vengeful entity.

  101. So I was able to get rid of these things and I had it BAD! I got rid of it for about 3-4 months, then recently I started hanging out with my ex and she brought them back into my life these last couple weeks. So obviously she’s out of the picture again, and these things are on their way out again as well. This time I was able to notice them immediately so they haven’t gotten anywhere near bad yet, but it is crazy how fast they started appearing again. I remember when I use to feel the stinging after showers, the intense sweating, the swelling in my feet, the wounds that wont heal, the clear bubble things that come out of your skin, my dog hiding under my bed to get away from it, battling for my eyelids! .. it can get really bad. This was the hardest thing I had ever dealt with. I stopped telling doctors because like others have said in the comments, nobody believed me. I even stopped telling my closest friends, because they all have their own theories of what I’m “seeing”… It literally was driving me insane! This parasite/fungus (whatever it is), is very intelligent. I have written down so much info about it during the 6 months I was fighting it. It’s insane what this thing can do, if you’d like to hear what info I have on it, you can message me, but for now let me tell you how I got rid of it…

    I tried soo many things but in the end, I drank the parasite cleanser that you can find at Sprouts or a local healthfood store. That helped with the foot pain because a lot of things started coming out of my feet that were lodged in there. Spoiler, a lot of it is glass! (Anyone reading this who doesn’t understand what this thing does probably thinks this is a joke, but this thing uses glass to move around your body, and a lot of it seems to be in your feet, as well as a lot of the fungus).
    I used hydrogen peroxide and anti-fungal cream 3 times a day for 2 weeks to keep it off.
    And what I found REALLY helped, and I don’t know exactly why it works, but purple hair toner (i used purple hair toner conditioner you find at CVS). Again, I don’t know why it works, but I applied it to my skin, in the shower and the fungus started pouring out (you know those wounds that seem to never heal, rub it on those).
    I also cleaned my house with bleach and threw away a lot of clothes. I would invest in a lot of latex gloves and a blacklight flashlight! It helps find the fungus around the house (well when you start getting rid of it, it’ll start coming to you, it’s a very weird/intelligent fungus).

    Hope this helps. If you have anything interesting you’ve noticed about this thing, I’d love to pick your brain so feel free to message me

  102. Hey I lived in Bellingham Washington and now live in Everett and I have the exact same thing. It started around the same time as yours. Something is going on for real. Every symptom I have as well

  103. I to have these white hair like parasite for 8 months now then also it’s like there’s 3 to 4 different bacteria also horsehair worms in my dog and in my carpet my ankle are stinging with every time I walk my eyes got something to it burns bad my dog is barely able to walk around and the vet said she has mange

  104. There are also parasites that almost seem to have electrical energy and will stand up and kind of hang around until they can attach them selves to grab on to something. Also tho microplastics will act the same way.

    There are also scabies which cause different reactions in different people, actual fleas can look like worms in certain stages of development, fungal infections can look like white hairs, and there are many different types of mites out there. And sometimes the regular mites we all have on our skin or eyelashes can overpopulate for different reasons and be in your ears, eyes and really bothersome.

  105. This could also be plastic pollution. Threads of plastic so tiny they almost appear to dissolve into your skin, can irritate you and are unfirtunalty all over the world now thanks to humans .

    You could also check out stick tight fleas, walking car dandruff, Lyme disease, Make sure you are laundering clothes not with a blanket or fibrous article that could transfer fires TO EVERYTHING. also mold spores in your house, which can make u feel like ur getting bitten and itchy everywhere,
    Clothing and cae bearing moths which can be sometim3s so small u don’t see them or think they are clothes pilling and they leave silk strands thinner then hair behind and cause severe itching from their hairs.

    Or you could even be low in iron so badly u are severely itching and almost going insane from just regular little hair fires ect in the air or dust in your home. Just a few possibilities

  106. I have the same problem. What is the solution? Medical doctors think is just delusion even if other people tell them they, also, saw the worms in the patient’s hair.
    I would love to get help, but nobody helps us

  107. I am in NW Washington also and have the same thing w lots videos of the movement and lots of other things. They are in every part of me eyes ears mouth ect if u look closely at the longer hairs that u probably find there’s the tiny one attached but I finally got a good pic and they are worms!!! I actually got a video of the clear worm at a angle one side looks like hair the other clear as day a worm!! Please message me let’s fight this together screw them saying morgellans that’s B’s we all know it once I figure this out it’s my goal to travel and teach every hospital and Dr I can to save lives I know I was down awhile almost gave up but there are thousands of us having same thing I will try to load pictures if I can if not message me I will send to anyone . ni*************@***il.com
    Be blessed

  108. Good answer, Jessica! Numerous people have been reporting such white hair-like fibers on the internet for many years, yet the medical community seems to ignore them and/or give them a diagnosis of the controversial Morgellan’s, if not blow them off as psychotic. I actually have a video of the crazy movements they make (while hanging from a lamp)! I don’t see how to upload a video here, but perhaps someone can tell me how? It is definitely worth seeing!

  109. I along with thousands of people are experiencing the same thing (based on images and description/story) .

    Those threads/strands which are very much alive and seem “wormlike” are actually fungus/fungal like organism. Hypha/hyphae is the name for the filament like “tubes” (threads) that we see floating, and yes, even seeming to dance around. It’s good to hear you’re only having the scalp itching. I’m in a support group where many of us are immunocompromised, and it can be deadly if you are. The specific disease I have due to Hyphae like, or perhaps even the same as you described is Human Pythiosis. The thread like organisms could be similar to or the same as in my fungal like (systemic) infection. And good luck – If you find a doctor to listen and then help you please let me know!
