Black help: Unidentified clothes moths. - Help.com

Unidentified clothes moths.

So this may be a cut and paste question, but I couldn’t see re writing it the same way. This was posted over a year ago and the solution (at least one I like has not be posted)

My preface is that it seems to be more of a parasite of clothes and not a person. There are no fibers coming from me. There are no flies coming from within me. They are all around, on clothes, furniture and even me until I take a shower. They are in my car and sometimes at work. So Please if anyone figured this out last year or whenever, let me know.
Thansformed said “People are contracting a tiny white parasite from clothing of retail stores. If you have specific knowledge on this pest or if you know a good ectoparasitologist who could help identify it, please write me asap!

This pest is neither a mite nor a flea. Because it’s airborne and breeds really fast, it’s very difficult to control and get read of. I and another person contracted this pest via clothing at Value City. It has been a nightmare experience!

Extermination:
We’ve tried RID, Kleen Free Enzymes, and various pesticide sprays. I’ve sprayed like crazy EVERY day. I even spray my clothing with RID. I wash my hair every night. Yet I’m still seeing this pest.

The other victim had a worse case, and she became emotionally drained. GOD allowed her to find me via the internet. As Christians, we encourage and pray for each other.

I’m trying to find other victims of the same source–Value City. **If you know anyone, who contracted the same pest from that particular store, have them send me an email at: vcityvictim(at)yahoo.com (Use the “at” symbol when typing address.)

Please pay close attention as I describe the physical attributes and symptoms of this pest. If you have this pest you will see 3 types of white things:

1) tiny round things about the size of a spec of salt

2) tiny, oblong shaped, thread-like fiber looking things; about 1/16 of an inch long

3) slightly larger white things that jump and fly

Optional: You might see tiny black things the same as item # 1 and # 2 above. The other victim thinks the white things turn black when they die. I don’t know.

If you have this pest, you will have the following physical symptoms:

1) Bites that sting
2) Red skin rashes and/or red bumps
3) Optional: Itching **I did not itch. Yet another victim of the same thing had an itching problem.

Pest Habits:
This tiny white flying pest can be found anywhere. Once it gets in your environment, it will be all over the place. It likes clothing, hair, and dark colored things. You’ll see #1 and #2 white things resting on material and non-material items. ie, a black totebag or purse The #3 white things aren’t easy to catch flying unless you have a large volume.
