Quite gross. It looks like a tick but can't tell if the capitulum is on the upper side as they are quite engorged - Ioxodua spp perhaps? But then I'm suprised there will be such a heavy infection
Could it be a scabies mite?
I'll second scabies
Norwegian scabies
What a great blog!!! I ran across it while searching parasites. I just found I have .... I think tapeworm. Not sure yet. I am doing the Humaworm cleanse and that is how I discovered them.
I have suffered with stomach issues for years and doctors had no idea what my problem was. I ended up doing herbal medicine for candida and have that under control. I am now, as I said, doing a parasite cleanse and then on to a liver cleanse.
I have had a burning tongue for 3 months and have taken iron, B vitamins, zinc... etc. They helped but not enought.
I think my problem might be the parasites. Here is a link to the posts I am doing on my blog. It is a daily log of the parasite cleanse
