First, I'm really sorry that you're feeling this way. I hope the situation gets resolved soon.

Second, I am not a doctor. I'm a horticulture agent and there are limits to what I can see via pictures.

Here are the things your local Cooperative Extension office can do: ID insects (usually plant pests or beneficial pests), ID plant diseases, ID unknown plants, and other helpful things. 

That being said, take 'it' to your Extension office and they (or an entomology specialist) can say whether or not it's an insect. That's the limits to our services since we do not get into human health -- that's for medical doctors.

I hope this helps. The University of KY does have a publication or two. They may or may not help but I urge you to have an open mind.
