Unusual Scalp Dermatitis in Humans
Jay R Traver (1894-1974) was an entomologist at the University of Massachusetts. In 1951 she published a paper in the Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington describing how her body had been infested by mites. Much of the article reads like a horror story. She details the itching and crawling sensations she felt as mites crawled under her skin, and even in her eyes: The movements of a mite that had entered under the eyelid could be felt as it crawled slowly about, then began to ‘dig in’ at which moment the eye suddenly became even more swollen than before. She describes her efforts to capture the mites by digging them out of her skin, and goes into detail about the increasingly caustic substances she applied to her skin in an attempt to rid herself of the mites. She even tried radiation therapy. The catch is that the medical community refused to believe she was actually infested by mites, and they still don’t. The consensus is that she was suffering from “Delusory Parasitosis” (the false belief that one is infested by parasites). As one reviewer has noted, “the article makes no sense entomologically. The house dust mites do not and cannot parasitize humans.” You can find her original article at archive.org, or there’s a transcript available at birdmites.org. Incidentally, the “R” in Jay R Traver didn’t stand for anything. Her middle name was R. More info: “Mad Scientist: the unique case of a published delusion,” wikipedia
