I just noticed that there are tiny black spots scattered around on my tummy. They are really small and look like blackheads but they're not.
Anyone else have anything like this?
This is scaring me, why would black spots suddenly start popping up on my belly?

Are you taking anything for parasites? I have gotten the black spots in the past and I believe they are parasites. Given the strong response you get when doing salt/c, that could be a response because of parasites.

yes jlcd I tested positive for rmsf a year ago. I never thought of that as far as these spots. They are so tiny, I wouldn't even notice them without close inspection.
They are soo tiny and I tried to pop one thinking maybe they were blackheads and nothing came out and they don't scratch off.
Gael, I am not currently doing anything for parasites because I feel so bad right now. I wonder if something else other than salt c could help without pushing me over the edge physically.
Is there any way to tell if they are parasite eggs? Do you have a link with a picture? Can you scratch the eggs off or anything like that?
It's weird and unsettling, especially as I am feeling really bad right now. I thought it was the rain setting me off but it has stopped and I still feel bad.

gigi,
I don't know if they are eggs or not. I have read of other people having them. Sorry you are feeling so bad.
Maybe an antiparasitic herb such as Parastroy or Humaworm starting at a low dose could help. No doubt IMO that you have parasites.
You need to start somewhwere. Not treating is not a good idea. Even if you do very low dose salt/c, say starting at 1/8 tsp each salt and C is better than nothing. Do you have an LLMD, and are you on abx?

Thanks for the info. Gael. I do have some doxy and flagyl left but can't afford the llmd I was seeing right now.

Is there anything I can apply topically to get rid of these or kill these?
