Parasite 1 or 1+??? #708422

Asked August 02, 2020, 12:11 PM EDT

What is this parasite?? And I'm definitely not ruling out the possibility of multiple parasites infesting rental house I've occupied for going on 6 years.

Hello,

None of those pics show any kind of a insect or mite parasite that I know of.  They look like tiny lint balls and/or bits of debris.
