What can of insects or mites that is very very small dots and some look like small hair? I find them in my pubic hair and they bite my arm, legs, all over my body!! After bathing i have a little releive, a hour later they are back!! They double in the morning time before bath time!! When using the toilet i see hundreds of them with dead skin in the commode,when they bite they leave a patch of little small bumps.

Your situation requires diagnosis by your family physician. If your doctor cannot identify the "very very small dots/bugs" then he can collected a few specimens, seal them in a container of rubbing alcohol, and send them to me for identification at: John D. Hopkins, Ph.D., Professor and Extension Entomologist, Univ. of Arkansas System, Div. of Agric., Coop. Extension Service, 2301 S. University Ave., Little Rock, AR 72204.
