Predominantly black specs that bite, on floors, bed, couch, fridge, tables, basically everywhere. Just moved in this year. I can’t live like this anymore!!

As u can see in the subject field, I wanted to write so much more. My family
thinks I’m seeing things. Even though I had at least 100 containers with
this foreign material inside as evidence. I have pics, videos and pics of
bite marks. No one has brains enough to acknowledge that there is an issue?
I’ve been sleeping on a new couch in which I ve covered first with a
blanket and then with a flat cotton sheet. I have my dog sleeping with me
in case something lands on her. I’m able to help her immediately.

I know this is an old post but unfortunately I am reading this now. Just
wanted to let you know that I am going through the same as you. Did you notice
these black specks after you moved into your new place? Anyway, the one thing
that helps me a lot is to clean & wash everything everyday including clothes.
Been suffering for years now and I'm becoming weaker so I am unable to keep up
the cleaning routine so it is making a come-back and suffering much again.
Also important is to take care of your body. That is your immune system and
especially your skin. When I feel a bite and look at the area of the skin I
will notice a black speck. My theory is that it is a mold spore of some sort
trying to enter your skin. Once in there it will start to grow and you will
become red and itchy. So while cleaning protect your skin's natural barrier
and to apply an occlusive like vaseline or wax-based cream on your skin and
the specks are unable to enter. Sorry I can't offer you more info than this.
I myself am still researching this mysterious (fungus?)

Consider buying Borox the laundry additive. It kills insects w exoskeleton as well as fungus-family living things. Works well on laundry or anything that has oily/waxy surface. Also look into D.E. aka diatomaceous earth, food grade has no poison, that can also poison people. It also kills insects, but by a different means. Put some in a small shaker bottle. You can shake on your skin lightly and spread out. You can also shake on floors, furniture, thresholds, around ripening fruit (fruit flies) and vegetables (bags of onion etc), anywhere bugs may be entering your home, or making reproducing. Also put salts in a washcloth when you bathe (sea, borax, Epsom, baking soda) and scrub well, then when out of the water/the shower is off, squeeze the salty remains onto your skin and spread around, air drying. If it's a bug, they hate the flavor. If it's from the fungus family...well actually same thing.
