Have You Got Delusional Parasitosis ….

“Delusional parasitosis is a rare psychiatric disorder. This condition can be overwhelming for both the individual and their family and friends”

For clarity, I do think that some people will suffer from this condition – but I think a LOT of people will be wrongly categorised under this condition incorrectly, it’s a giant ‘catch all’ bucket for things that cannot easily be explained and is lazy.

When I first got this affliction and started going nowhere rapidly with the medical profession I dedicated my entire time searching the internet, comments etc to trying to work out what it is I had. Lots of people have the symptoms, a few claim to have solved their symptoms – but no-one could really say ‘what they had’. It was a common theme – and with that there is a BIG problem.

There are potentially many different things that can give you similar symptoms, so what might work for someone on the net, may not work for you. So please read this blog with care and also take care when reading articles on the net. I’ve produced some physical evidence on what I have (see photos), if you can extract similar object from your body then you are likely to have what I have. And until ‘someone’ can produce reliable physical evidence that a doctor will take seriously – there will be no solution and a lot of subjective arguments pushing you towards it being a mental issue, not physical (Dealing with the Medical Profession). My view is that it is some sort of skin parasite that hasn’t been identified and known to the medical profession.

Doctors will do a very quick eye inspect and search for Scabies first, then rapidly move towards Delusional Parasitosis – This is a curse. You will need to produce physical evidence in order to slow this down. If you can’t, quite frankly you are doomed. You may have it – but once you get tarred with this brush it will follow you.

The definition is, in my opinion scientifically flawed and loose, it should not be used as it is not ‘provable’ – it all boils down to ‘You think you have parasites, but do not’. There wasn’t a doctor that spent more than 2 mins inspecting me, before then speaking to me at length and telling me that ‘They couldn’t see anything’.

If they had actually spent time taking skin samples from affected areas then I might have been more convinced. It’s also based on observation that people have been previously heavy drug addicts or pregnant. Neither apply to me.

Further, I think doctors may have some duty of care – so they are held responsible for solving your problem. They do not know what to do with you, how to solve it – so the Delusional Parasitosis gives them a easy way of passing you onto another person and legally absolving responsibility for you.

Extracts of the lunacy from reality:

• Doctor (Derm): I was feeling intense movement in a part of my outer ear, that had significantly thickened and blackened, I asked the doctor to take a scaping and she decided to take it from between my toes claiming my ear was too sensitive an area. 2 weeks later the results came back ‘negative’, therefore the doctor told me I didn’t have anything.
• Doctor: The only mite that is around is ‘Scabies’ and you don’t have that (they look for track marks). And the chances of you having a mite that is different from that is so unlikely because no-one else seems to have had it – or it hasn’t been come across. Therefore you are unlikely to be that unique. I have to say the logic here is shocking – using this logic no new afflictions would ever exist. I think the only reason COVID was found is because LOTS of people started dying, so someone looked a little deeper into it and found something. Here in lies a problem – the medical profession is only set up to recognise stuff when it starts happening on mass. If you are an edge case, you are going to fall between the cracks.
• Psychologist: So you think you have some sort of parasite. Me: ‘Yes – list a long list of symptoms, its obvious’. Him: You don’t think it phycological. Me: Considered it, but it isn’t <<list a number of reasons>>. Him: ‘That is the definition of Delusional Parasitois then!!! You are convinced you don’t have them!!’ Me: ‘Groan’, so if you took most people off the street, wouldn’t they also qualify ….? Him: But they aren’t here. Me: That isn’t scientific and its loose … (and it went on with him eventually getting annoyed and changing the subject.

There are many more examples – but the common theme was this. Very light inspections (<2min) followed by lots of questions and then polite arguments trying to convince you you didn’t have what your thought. But unable to tell you what you had. Quite frankly, I didn’t care – I just wanted a solution. Then referring you over to a Mental Professional. Oh, boy – you think the lunacy here, wait until you step foot into that side of the world….. and the logic I came across scared the living daylights out of me.

In summary – you need to produce some sort of physical evidence that is hard to dismiss. Even then, this is hard – but you are at least evidencing something physical around the areas you feel movement. Doctors are generally a very clever bunch, this will at least make the Delusional Parasites harder for them to get to.
