Ok, was researching why my skin (on face and hairline) feels like it has sand on it and I found a "new tick" (mite/parasite) that could be causing this symptom!!!
It is "tick demodex brevis" and it might be why some people lose hair too. I have to go somewhere, but will look more into this later.
If you guys already know about this, sorry for repeating it.

thanks mom, I had this when my menningitis was peaking at ER and they thought i was crazy... How hard would it be for them to research this - Man, my blood boils when i think of how many times i told MD's of my sand paper skin and things coming out like sand.. showed them and ask them to microscope this and they said take a BATH...

You're welcome Payne. Every night I go to bed with clean, "smooth" face and every morning I wake up with "sand" stuck to my face.
I will dig deeper on this subject and post it soon.

I don't know if I put this in the right "topic" or if I should have used a different "topic title"...
I know I have seen somebody else talk about their skin (face) feeling like they have sand on it in here somewhere, just can't remember who/where.
Could this be the problem or is there another explanation for this? I read that if you are chronically ill the "little ticks" can thrive and this can cause hair loss too.
I stuck pieces of scotch tape to my face yesterday to capture whatever is there and bring to my doc for evaluation.

LOL! I was wondering about the "horniness" too! My hubby would be ecstatic if that was one of my symptoms...
I had found other websites about this, but it was late when I posted the 2 above so I might not have posted a credible one. Sorry and I'm a stickler for spelling & grammar, but sometimes my brain doesn't function so well.

It's translated by a non-native English speaker. The research was performed by a Chinese doctor.
Character-based, tonal languages are vastly different from alphabet-based, phonetic languages. In character languages, only language scholars are expected to have extensive written vocabularies. And the grammar is actually much simpler. I don't think average translators understand the emphasis we place on grammar, because it is simply not the major aspect of Asian languages. The characters drive written language.
I don't think poor English spelling and grammar is a reason to discredit the information. However, the vast claims and hard-sell marketing do stretch my credulity.
At the very bottom, I'm told I will become scurfy. I would hate for that to happen.

I've been experiencing hair loss for 3 months now. I thought it was due to chemicals/drugs from a brief hospital stay, but this may be my culprit. Just wondering?

Thanks Lymetoo for the info. My hair is so thin and continues to thin, that I am afraid to run my fingers through it. I end up with a hanful of hair when I do.
The thing that bothers me, almost more, was the words "microscopic tick" in the description of the mite, "Tick Dermodex Brevis".
Makes me want to disinfect, scrub and boil myself!!!
