| Your post is a bit confusing to understand. So you've been to a doctor and your dog has been to a vet, right? Both your doctor and your dog's vet don't know what it is? I looked up the Morgellons Disease you mentioned, do you have that "creepy crawly" feeling on your skin? Does your dog scratch alot? If it is that diesase, based on what I just read, doctors don't know what to do about it, so no one here is going to be able to advise you if a doctor and vet can't. My obvious first thought was fleas, but you said the vet checked your dog and one of the "black things" so your vet would have 100% known it was a flea, but fleas also leave behind flea dirt (their poop) which looks like black specks. You can tell it's that by putting it on a wet, white papertowel and seeing if it turns reddish. Who or what bit you? What do you mean by "delug parasite, do you mean the word deluge - a flood or flooding of something, meaning the parasite is all over your house?? I'm sorry, I'm just really confused as to what exactly you're talking about.

| Black spots (tiny mainly on the tummy) can develope on dogs with sarcoptic mange. I don't know what it is, but when I see it on my dogs I treat them with Revolution. Chiggers can be killed on people by soaking in a salt water bath, or their is a creme they sell at WalMart for them. Scabies is treated with a pyrethrin creme by prescription. (one application). Or I would even try an application of Nix for head lice... it will probably kill other no-see-ums too. I would also vacuum daily, especially during the spring and the fall. They seem to be more active here during those seasons.

| Oh Sheryl I am so sorry you and Benji are having to go through this. My condolences on the loss of Peanut. I know you have been to the Doctor and Benji the vet but was the vet a skin specialists? If not I would recommend Benji be checked out. I would also bring in samples of the specks. Also I would recommend taking Benji to a veterinary dentist to see what they think is going on with Benji's teeth. Regardless I would go to a second Vet. If Peanut passed from similar symptoms and the Vet is not sure what caused it you need to find someone who will. Here are some sites to check out I hope they help. Best wishes to you and Benji.

| How about getting a professional exterminator to come over and see these things. I bet a professional has seen all kinds of parasites and will know what you can use in your home to get rid of them. Good luck Teresa |

| If you have oil heat in your home, it may be burning improperly. When that happens, tiny bits of black stuff gets all over the place, including in your nose and mouth. There may be fumes that can make your eyes burn and may be making you and your dog sick. If you do have oil heat, call in for repair, and get to fresh air asap, or even stay in a motel till the burner is repaired.
