Suggest Treatment For Parasitic Dermatitis

I am infested with parasitic dermatitis. I have personally excised round worms and hook worms. There are also other organisms I ve seen but haven t yet clearly identified. I can t find a reasonable entomologist. I ve been to 8 doctors, 4 of which were dermatologists. There answer was to id it as dead skin and sent me off with a non-effective cream. I ve tried them all. This all started about 2 years ago. The itching is unbearable; this has consumed my life and literally drove my wife out of the house because of the obsessive behavior of mine toward this infection. No one on the planet except one doctor even believe. They think I m hallucinating. I need help and fast because I am loosing the battle and going crazy over this. I am constantly tending to these lesions, tunneling, excessive bleeding, etc. I ve spent over $2,000 on just simple first aid materials, creams, Rx s, etc. all ineffective. Where can I go? What can I do? I ve excised some of lesions myself and found round worms, hook worms, organisms that look somewhat like a cowboy s spurs, another looks like a tulip with a flower shaped top and a trailing tracks, one I call the F117 stealth bomber being triangular shaped and actually fly around but they imbed themselves in skin and join the party with some 10 more shaped and sized organisms with unbelievable events. They have are impregnable having infested completely and tightly sealed containers. I can tell if there in a liquid just by bubble shape. What type professional should I seek (entomologist, infection disease MD, others? I have an enormous # of pictures and video. One organism looks like a black spider diving deep into the carpet and destroying the carpet fibers. This is about 20% of the whole story. As I said everyone thinks I m crazy because they can t see them. I barely maintain my sanity utilizing lidocaine creams, pramoxine hydrochloride, all other lotions and creams are completely ineffective and I ve tried them all. I am barely treating symptoms and not able to find any professional who can eliminate the root cause. I m desperate! Please help! Most of my problems are in the legs and arms with a few on my chin and temples. I m concerned this could take my eye sight, disrupt my heart, and eventually impact the brain. I ve actually scratched my arm and received a shock in my right big toe which is infested. It seems they communicate and coordinate the attack. There are thousands. I can t eat food because than can infest any container (actually sliced into a Mountain Dew can in the freezer. There tunneling is extensive. There are certain shapes of lesions like the one I call the constellation because the lesions organize and present like a heavenly constellation. One organism created thousands of fibers/filaments which are imbedded in my arms and legs. On one lesion I recovered no less than 12 hook and round worms. I know it sounds insane but a friend brought me a roast beef sandwich. In five minutes the meat was mostly blackened and inedible. More organisms, more shapes, more symptoms are presenting but nobody can do anything or don t want to because this is going to take time, thought, and communication. Most MD s just want to diagnose it as dead skin , write a script for a cream and send you on your way as soon as possible so they can get to the next patient. I have pictures, more stories and some specimens. They actually thrive in bubble bath, Lysol, ammonia, Clorox, and other other liquid or food substance in the house. I ve gone to protein shakes for meals and lost 40 lbs. They actually are able to infest a sealed protein shake (BOOST, MUSCLE MILK, ETC) but I ve got to get some nourishment so I ignore them in the protein shakes. It doesn t help my credibility because my wife and son did not contract the infections. Innumerable tracts and lesions cover my arms and legs. If I scratch a lesion it bleeds profusely and follows these tracts. What do I do? Who do I call? What s the next indicated step? I am losing the battle and fearful they could actually kill me (heart, brain, blood circulation, nerve effects, etc.) Dane L.
