I have a lot of questions. There is an extremely tiny black colored insect or parasite thing. Most people cannot see it, especially if farsighted. If I feel something bite, I start scratching. It starts burrowing down. Next thing comes a crater wound. They seem to bite then burrow down at blood vessel sites. I do not do drugs and it looks like I shoot up drugs. I had one off the side of my mouth, I had white larvae that I would wipe out of it. If any touch the skin around it, it would burrow down. Antibiotics do not work. I use antifungal cream on it. Still took more than 9 months to clear up. These came out to attack me when I scrubbed the grout in this garage that had cracked concrete underneath it. I live on the outskirts of New Orleans where it is very swampy. It gets worse after a hurricane. The land constantly sinks and there is standing water always on the street. The water in the swamp areas smell horrible and has a black appearance that stains. There are even more issues if I may converse with you via email.

I soaked my pine cones in vinegar water for an hour? If I remember correctly. Then I baked them for about 40 minutes at 200′. Today, I was painting a pine cone and found a little yellow worm on my board. Maggot? But don’t know, has it been in there all along? From August?

Hey there! I need help lol! I went on a wreath making obsession and Now have black spots all over my carpet and white looks like water spots or wet spots and they continue to grow and multiply by the hundreds?? I’m almost 100% positive it has to do with the pinecones but any insight or suggestions???

I really appreciate all of this information. I’m so paranoid about pine beetles and bugs but I love big Pinecones. I boiled my cones for a few minutes, as you recommended. Now I’m baking at 200 for 25 minutes. My pan I used to boil them , and the utensils, are in bad shape with sticky sap. Any suggestions for cleaning those?
