micro101 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 I have made slides with taking a clear tape and pressing to my skin (groin area) where I feel the crawling/moving, pin prick sensation and then placing the tape on slide. Magnification was done at 10x. Mostly at night is when I am itching. as soon as I turn off the lights. The itching is also on my scalp, face, eyebrows, legs, (the warmer areas of my body such as groin is worst itching). Looks an awful lot like some kind of worm to me. I posted more slides on this thread. Hope you can help. Thanks. Some background information, including magnification used would be helpful.

Psycho Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) We need some kind of point of reference (scale), if these are only taken at 10x magnification those are probably hairs, dust and dead skin flakes You could see anything as big as the lines with the naked eye at 10x magnification.

JorgeLobo Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 There really is nothing obvious. In parasitology, microscopic diagnosis is an affirmative process where "looks like" means negative. Hairs, clothing fibers, whatever can be attributed to these slides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
