I just pulled a 2 inch thin clear active fiber out of my left eyelash.
It was either a floater that was trying to get in or was coming out. But when I pulled on it about a 1/4 inch was inside the hair follicle
Lately my eyebrows have been the worst and then my ears with terrible itching and also biting and stinging deep in the ear canal about ever 20 minutes
Q-tips are already loaded with the tiny cotton like fibers with usually 3 or 4 of them already active on each one right out of a sealed box.
But I do find them helpful at removing the others that are already in my ears.
When I gently push one all the way in and slowly pull it out there are usually 2 or 3 longer active fibers that attach to the cotton. Then sometimes the itching stops for a little while.
Noxema on the swab also stops them until it dries out and then the terrible itching starts again.
I have been up for almost 3 days straight now with the itching and biting. And now it is starting on my legs and arms too
2 or 3 showers a day helps for a little while and last night I tried 25 alfalfa tablets in a 1/2 hour hot bath and it helped. I did see a few dark fibers, but the clear ones are hard to see in the water. I didn't have the detergent with bleach to add to it as well. But I was itch free for about 2 hours after the bath. Not long enough to get to sleep though.
Today it is somewhat better. I haven't had any sugar in a few days - I don't know if that helps. But since these things don't seem to have any mouth how can they eat the sugar?
Anyway, that is my update. I hope I can get SOME sleep tonight !!!
