i enjoy the printed version of amazonas magazine.Danielle says:
I am so pleased to be reading this article as I believe this is a issue I’ve been dealing with this for a year now. I’m at a breaking point as my doctor will not hear me out on this one (or anyone else). I at first thought it was a cactus dermatitis but more recently after some more research I found out about the midge fly. I’ve started to pay more close attention to my surroundings and just noticed this week little red worms coming from my bathtub (I live in a rv in an industrial area) and more on the cover of the pool I swim in. I’m located in San Carlos Ca. Please contact me as I need to know what test should be run to find out if this is indeed what I’m suffering from. I have pictures throughout the last year of the damage this has done to my skin. I can’t imagine what my insides must look like. We can go into further details hopefully over the phone with somebody as it’s a lot to type but I have experienced a whole range of symptoms over the last year and I do believe it has a incubation period. Some answers would more than be appreciated!
