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 cases of mites in humans are ones that feature the the Scabies, or Itch, mite. This miniature mite feeds on our blood and digs tiny tunnels in the skin where the female lays her egg stays for her lifetime. The creatures are passed around by one to one contact, as they can not live for long without a necessary host. The tunneling of the mites instigates very noticeable itching and discomfort, and leaves behind a tiny remnant of a line where the mite has crawled 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 removed from mites in that they are seen above the skin, and feed on our blood by biting their way into the skin and securing themselves by way of very powerful tooth-like barbs. This is one aspect of ticks that live on mammals and humans that makes them extremely horrible; it also makes them extremely difficult to remove correctly, and whether on a human or animal, it is not advised to simply pick a tick that is in the process of dining off the body. This could to leave the sharp section - the anchor - in the top layers of the skin and, in many cases, can lead to surgery being necessary in order to prevent a worse situation. The right method of removing ticks is to smear them in butter or oil, or other fatty substances, which should suffocate the mite in a short time. The application of such results in a weakening of the creature's grip, and it should thus be easy to remove. Ticks, notably those found in tropical locations, can carry a number of very nasty fevers, and as such must be treated with a degree of suspicion in all cases.
Morgellons Syndrome Perhaps most notable among the more unusual conditions associated with skin parasites is that known as Morgellons Syndrome, a recently reported condition that is as interesting as it is troubling. Morgellons syndrome is a parasitic infection with a specific feature - there are no parasites thinks. However, it is not really an entirely original condition, just one that has been spread more widely in recent years. Treatment for Morgellons syndrome often follows that used for similar delusionary illnesses, and to date it has not been taken by the medical profession as anything other than a problem akin toan inexplicable psychological.
