One thing to note is that some illegal drugs, such as meth, create the delusion that there are insects crawling over oneself. This leads the person to scratch their skin until it is raw and bleeding. These same drugs cause people to be very paranoid, so caution is indicated when dealing with them.Stephanie Suesan Smith, Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06258700735299993683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497004104272690197.post-64224430977872314532011-05-21T02:48:20.599-05:002011-05-21T02:48:20.599-05:00Interesting post Mike.

I find that physicians are generally ignorant of insect bit issues. The diagnosis really depends on a confirmation that there are not any actual biting arthropods in the victim's home. <br />If the entomologist on interviewing the client on the presumption that there may be actual biting arthropods present, and after a thorough investigation determines that none are to be found,then the "suspected delusory parasitosis" may apply, but with the difficulty of finding bed bugs without using either a dry ice trap or a detection dog, caution is needed before presuming there is nothing present.<br /> I have also found contributing environmental factors such as dryness of environment,or dust particles from air vents can cause itchiness.. I have also found cases of springtails and thrips as cause of bites in an office with sliding drawers near a garden area.<br />They were found on glueboards..Fascinating finding. Confirmed staff claims of bites though at first there was nothing obvious.szimonsayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829005459098360035noreply@blogger.com
