Worms in the Face
Posted , 854 users are following.
Hi All, I dont know if anyone has come across this. I have a worm infestation in my face. They travel around under the skin leaving tracks and bursting holes into my skin. they create glass like balls that split the skin open and move around my skin with ease.
I first reported it 3 months ago and the doctors totally ignored me treating me for a secondary infection that was caused by open wounds in my face. They have given me 4 courses of antibiotics treating the wrong infect but totally ignored waht I was telling ithem about the worms.
The worms whatever they are are very sharp and whereever they travel through in my face the skin collapses, leaving it like plastercine and it causes tiny splinters that are as sharp as anything that inbed themselves in the inside and outside of my skin right down to the lowest skin level. My skin is also producing a clear sticky substance which feels like little shards of glass if I touch it. All in all, it really couldnt be much worse except for the fact they have made a hole around my mouth which they can look out of. I am totally sane!
I am in pieces. I've been telling the doctors what it is and they have totally ignored me. Even refusing to refer after an A & E i visited confirmed I needed to be referred as the lesions had been on my face for so long.
I discovered I had private medical care through my company which now thank god means I've seen my first dermatologist. He's referred me to another dermatlogist that apparently knows more about things in the skin who I'm yet to see. Even though he's now put me in the right direction, I'm not convinced he was sure it is worms. I can pull 1/2 inch worms out of my skin bit by bit. They look like thread worms and never come out intact, you pull little bits off of them. It leaves worm shape dents in my face and they feel like little match sticks under the skin. Nobody is taking me seriously as people dont really get worms in the face.
They have totally destroyed me skin and I have bad scaring. I have never had acne and had no scaring. This has all been caused in the last 3 months. I dread to think how many are alive in there now they'v been left so long.
Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?

I'm sorry to hear about your son. I too, see the signs in both my kids. Their pediatrician not only tries to shut me up the second I begin to speak, but has also convinced my other half that I am dilussional and has been preparing an attempt to have me committed. To bad I unknowingly stumbled upon all the paperwork. I WILL be going after that doctor's license to practice when I am done.
Find a doctor from India, Africa, The Phillipines or any of the countries targeted to mass treat NTD's (Neglected Tropical Diseases).

I have the same problem as you mention except the parasites live all over my body yet I get really disturbed when I feel them moving around under my scalp. I started taking Albendaziole which i bought online and the next day did a stool sample. I found the same critters that are in Rhuby's photos. I have uploaded them.
My doctor has referred me to a Infectious Disease specialist, yet I went through this same routine 10 years ago and all the docs told me that I didn't have any parasites.
I was hoping that you solved the problem by now and could tell me the name of this parasite. I looked online and went through the CDC photos and many more never to find one that looks like what we have.
I look forward to your answer.

My girlfriend's general doc did admit to seeing moving objects in her eyes. He even video taped it using his iPhone and said it was very rare and referred her to infectious disease specialist.
We both were experiencing strange symptoms such as the appearance of worm like creatures under our skin that moved at night and left track marks on arms, legs, chest, hands, eyes, ears, and gums. We both experience nightly onset of congestion in our lungs making us wheeze and rattle when breathing.
We also have them in our feet, toes, and under toe nails and fingernails.
The infectious disease specialist at first seemed concerned and ordered blood work. She said it showed nothing and told us we suffered from delusional psychosis.
My girlfriend's father is a well respected member of our community and went to talk to her general doc to ask what he thought was going on. He said the doc said that he could get in trouble for admitting this but that basically they just don't know what it is or what to do about it.
The infection control doc became very angry and condescending when we tried to show her clear outlines of worm like sructures in and around our various lesions. She stormed out of room telling us to never come back. But not before accusing us both of self inflicting our multiple open areas due to methamphetamine use. Neither of us have ever used methamphetamine.
We've tried Vitamin C, Garlic, vinegar, topical creams from over the counter, etc and nothing much seems to help. We bathe and shower with Borax from time to time and it seems to help a little.
Her father travels internationally and got us some albendazole tablets from India. When we take them the things tend to exit our bodies or move to surface where they cause more pain. We try to get them out of our intact skin and open wounds but if you remove one it's as if there's always another one underneath that takes its place. .
The only thing that seems to make a difference is Ivermectin which I et at Wal Mart . It's fr horses but we use it topically and it kills off the worm like creatures temporarily. They generally return after a period of less activity. I'm worried what damage these things may be doing to our organs such as lungs and heart. I fluctuate from being angry to depressed. My family thinks I'm crazy and refused to even listen when I try to share information from the internet about parasite infections.
I too see black specks and white hair or thread like objects all throughout home and car, as well as what appears to be dried up versions of the worm like creatures.
They seem to almost become one with your skin and are very difficult and painful to remove . I've stopped ev en trying due to family and friends thinking me carefully removing them from surface of an existing wound is the cause of the wound. In reality the things poke a tip through skin then encircle a small area and either reproduce or more join them because one will turn into several overnight. I'm so worried this is going to cut years off my life. My arms and hands are horrible to see at times and I wear long sleeves even in the summer . Just wanted to share my experiences because reading those of others helped me feel less alone in this. I will try to post a few pics. They are of a few areas after I applies topical Ivermectin so my skin appears chalk white but you can see the outline of the things I'm talkig about.

Not to offend anyone by chiming in on the issue of Morgellon's. I don't buy it. To me, it's the medical profession's "catch-all". I won't dismiss what I sense, feel and have seen.
On that note, I too, have experienced the same symptoms and signs that are discussed repeatedly here. I am regularly doing in-depth Due Diligence on this subject, with some very interesting finds I might add. One point of interest (which understandably contributes to the medical field's ignorance on the matter) is: these worms (helminths) have the ability to manipulate the body's immune system/response so blood tests don't show a parasitic infection in progress!
Let me back up for a moment. A couple months ago, a started, what is now regularly 3-4 times daily, coughing. 2 evenings ago, my mind was put to ease over the torment of the medical professionals trying to make me believe I was DILUSSIONAL, and my understandings about my body and mind. 2 evenings ago I began coughing around 9pm and to my surprise, dislodged and produced a (semi) living specimen (pictured). THIS, is not dilussion. I know my body and what I feel/see.
The summer temperatures are in full effect here, and the suedo-dormant feeling stage is over. The tiny black hairs (looking) are protruding again, I can see the tracks and cystic signatures left behind, loss of feeling and bloating have ramped up in my feet and legs, etc.
So, I will continue to arm myself with information as I look for help/treatment to become well again. Another tidbit of info: as I am understanding the severity of my infection, I am coming to terms with the idea that I have had this condition for MUCH longer than previously thought, like possibly 30 YEARS. That being said, I anticipate a much longer Albendazole treatment, 8-12 months. As the WHO (World Health Organization) determined that such an extended chemo treatment (closely monitored) would be less harmful than the damage received untreated.
The specimen is just over 1 inch in length.

I was in middle of long discussion re. same problem with my cats when computer shut off. So, short version is one cat dead a year and a half ago, one cat has had it for at least that long with local vets ignorant of bots in cats and dogs and a third cat who doesn't go out of house has tiny black dots on chin from time to time as well as what one person described as a bunch of them lined up on a single cat hair. I've seen white oval tough skinned (like core of a whitehead on a persons face) eggs in second cat, larvae, worms, and even what looks like bugs with tiny wings and or feet.All specimens were only a few mm. long but could be clearly seen under a jewelers loupe. The cat who died developed golfball size knots under chin and above eye. Vet suggested to put to sleep as he thought it was cancer. Now I know it is something like bots( commonly found in horses and cows but not cats and dogs). Vets didn't know what to do but bluffed. I had to show him on Internet about bots in cats.
i wonder if this is the same thing that is going on with people who have very similar symptoms. It certainly sounds like it is.Any of you who can let me know I would greatly appreciate your response. Thank you.

These things only die with chemicals. Dog flea and tick shampoo works, domestos kills them but burns the skin. Ive found a nit lotion which works picksan lice shampoo. Its a complete nightmare if anyone has got any tips please help.

I had to have a script. The pictures that look like there is more than one linked together, with little legs on the ghetty pictures site, also looks like what i see when i use a q tip to coax the blighters out. They even jump sometimes onto it, then theytwist the cotton fibers together ( and i think they form a kind of train type thing to make themselves longer) sounds beyond bizarre, right? I sure hope there is . they are also in my hair, ears, nose etc etc. Thank you again for your insight!! IfI get any info, I will keep you posted. Ps. The male is translucent, right?
