Skin Parasites – There are a variety of forms of skin parasite that can cause hurt and illness in us, and many are well known and treatable. They take the form of minute insects – mites, fleas and ticks to be broad – and display themselves in a variety of ways, causing a variety of skin problems that can be a source of severe pain to the affected.
The Scabies Mite Among the most widely recorded instances of mites in humans are some that are thanks to the Scabies, or Itch, mite. This extremely small insect feeds on our blood and digs tiny tunnels in the skin where the female lays her egg lives. The insects are spread by physical contact, as they can not exist without a necessary host. The tunnelling of the mites brigns about very severe itching and pain, and leaves behind a tiny indication of a line where the mite has eaten under the skin.
More on the Scabies Mite – Inflammation of the skin is a result, and scratching by the patient is inevitable, and simply exaggerates the problem. Identifying scabies is quite easy – the discoloration of the skin and the terrible itching are ever present, but it might also be identified as other similar infections, and is thus very hard to diagnose correctly. One notable problem is that the irritation may not be felt until numerous weeks after the mites have moved in, leading to the problem being much advanced by the time it is diagnosed. Once spotted, however, scabies can be treated with a number of creams and lotions and other solutions, and is hardly difficult to kill very swiftly indeed.
Ticks – Ticks are different from mites in that they are seen above the skin, and feed on our blood by nibbling their way into the skin and anchoring themselves by way of very powerful protruding barbs. This is one trait of ticks that live on mammals and humans that sees them notably horrible; it also makes them famously difficult to remove without problem, and whether on a human or animal, it is not done to simply wrench a tick that is in the process of eating off the body. This move may to leave the barb section – the anchor – in the top layers of the skin and, in many cases, can mean surgery being necessary in order to prevent further problems. The right method of removing ticks is to smear them in butter or oil, or other fatty substances, which serves to suffocate the mite in a short time. The use of fats results in a relaxing of the creature\’s grip, and it should thus be easier to remove. Ticks, especially those found in tropical locations, can be responsible for a number of very nasty fevers, and as such need to be treated with a degree of suspicion in all cases.
Morgellons Syndrome One of the more interesting problems associated with skin parasites is that going by the name of Morgellons Syndrome, a recently discovered condition that is as interesting as it is troubling. Morgellons syndrome is a parasitic infection with a most odd feature – there are no parasites condition. However, it is far from an entirely modern condition, just one that has been spread more widely in recent years. Treatment for Morgellons syndrome often follows that prescribed for similar delusionary problems, and as such it has not been accepted by the medical profession as anything other than a problem akin toan inexplicable psychological.
