Brief Answer:
For how long has this been going on?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for this query. I have reviewed your information fully and this isn’t typical of any disease condition. I will only get worried if this has been going on for a while and shows no signs of getting better. I will suggest that you state how long this has been going on and whether it is the first time or not.

Garlic or garlic tablets are not harmful but am not sure whether they would help. In doubts, I will say go with the tablets and let’s see whether anything changes.

I wish you well and hope to hear back from you!

I guess my point is that if they are really bugs, the garlic in my system my turn them off and make them "jump off" of me. A couple of years ago we had a bird mite infestation in my house and it was horrible. They got all over everyone and we all got some cream prescribed to help get rid of them. Back then I could actually see them. This time I cannot, so I donʻt know if they are bugs or not or if Iʻm having some kind of allergic reaction. Definitely donʻt see them in my house right now either.

Been going on for about 12 hours now. But it is driving me crazy.

Brief Answer:
Probably an allergy and not bugs!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This is probably an allergy and not bugs. Bugs are mostly visible and without seeing any, there is little room to think there are. I suggest you try to tidy up all objects/dresses and stop any recently added products to you routine/usual products.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Keep me posted.
