My husband and I sleep in the same bed but he says he feels something crawling on his head, or arms at night. Im very clean, so I change my sheets every 3 days and change pillow cases and everything. He thinks its fleas, but I tell him that its a new mattress, is there something that I could put on during the day, some kind of product to kill any little spiders or chiggers and not affect us during the night, I have severe allergies so I dont want to start another problem. Is there a way I can wash the mattress even if its new?

3If you don’t feel it, then I think he is imagining it. By chance, does he take acid?

4I don’t know how to help you but I can tell you that if it were fleas, you would see them. And they bite so you would both be covered with red bumps (bites) in the morning.
Dust mites are so incredibly tiny, we never feel those crawling on us.
Maybe it’s in your husbands head. I’m not saying he’s crazy but if you don’t notice anything, the sheets are clean and you haven’t seen anything or been biten, maybe it’s something in his brain that makes his feel like bugs are crawling on him. It’s just a suggestion but it’s not uncommon.
I believe you can use a carpet shampooer on the matress. But you shouldn’t need to.

5What happens sometimes is that the new mattress was delivered to you in a truck with your new mattress and somebody else’s old ones…if one of those mattresses had bedbugs you would get them in the new mattress. Check for that first. If you see a dark line in the edge of the mattress where the cording is or if you have little red bites in the morning this could be the case. If that has happened then call the store and have them deliver a new mattress in a clean, empty truck!

6Check your husband’s hair for lice. He could have contacted them.

7You need not wash the mattress, because you are also sleep in the same bed, but you never feel anything. Your husband is suffering from an Allergy. Follow these carefully :
When mother Nature has provided us with such a simple and easy treatment to cure diseases and even to avoid them we all must follow the instructions given by her. These Therapies only help Nature to cure us. Let us not ignore Nature in our mad pursuit of science. THIS NATURE’S ‘DO IT YOURSELF’ ACUPRESSURE THERAPY ITSLEF IS A SCIENCE AND NOT A MATTER OF BELIEF. Try this Therapy sincerely and regularly for at least 15 days and observe its wonderful and amazing result.
When cold continuous even after taking regular treatment over a period of 2 to 5 years, it is termed as ‘cold’ due to Allergy and when there is congestion, it is termed as Bronchial Allergy. Inspite of researches, this Allergy is not understood and so it is not cured. And as result, the patient has to suffer for entire life and be in a perpetual fear of catching Allergy any time.
It is true that painful tests are taken to find out the cause which creates Allergy. Then Anti-allergic injections are prepared and given to the patients. Then Allergy seems to be cured for a short while, but apperars again and makes the life of the patient miserable. Although Allergy is not fatal, it is considered to be dreaded.
The basic fact is that common cold is not understood and neither is Allergy. Most of the ‘Common Cold’ is due to excess heat in the body. Now when such common cold continues, the endocrine gland of Thyroid and Parathyroid is the first to be disturbed. As no treatment is taken to correct the function of this gland, it starts functioning less efficiently. This endocrine gland controls the digestion of calcium and so when this endocrine gland does not work efficiently slowly, but steadily a deficiency of calcium is created in the body. Disturbance in the Thyroid/Parathyroid gland leads to disturbance of Adrenal gland, which controls ‘fire’ element of the body, i.e. spleen, liver and gall bladder and it also controls proper oxygenation. Thus, less functioning of these vital endocrine glands reduces the of resistance power of the body.
This vicious cycle continues. The drugs consumed to cure common cold only increase heat in the body which in turn damages the liver-the radiator of the body. Moreover, due to the continuation of cold for a period of two to three years, even the lungs lose their capacity to throw out toxins gathered from the blood. The net result is that the body develop Allergy for something. The over burdened nerves develop irritation against certain things like perfumes, pollen, dust, etc. And so when the patients come to contact with that particular thing; the nerve get excited.
The Allergy point (Acupressure) No.21 on the front and back of the right hand palm sends signals, one to the liver to slow down its functioning so the excess heat can be produced and the other an SOS to the brain to defend against this enemy. Yhe body knows only one language of defence-it creates Heat. The Brain produces more H+ i.e. Histami. After a while, the brain comes to know that Allergy point had sent a wrong signal and realises that nothing has gone into the system of the body. And so, in order to remove the excess heat from the body it creates cold by taking one atom of oxygen from the air we breathe and mixes it with two atoms of Hydrogen, i.e. H2O= water. These results in sneezing, watering of the nose and eyes, coughing, vomiting, etc. This fight in the body between the excess heat and cold results in brathlessness, depression, etc. This is not understood and so instead of helping to remove the excess heat and increasing the power of resistance of the body by reducing the deficiency of calcium , drugs like anti-histamin are given to curb the Allergy. For the time being, this process of removing the excess heat from the body is arrested. But very soon, the body starts this process of throwing out the excess heat-which is considered to be another attack of Allergy. The vicious cycle continues. And so, even Adrenal gland is more damaged-which damages oxygenation in the body-creates more breathlessness and creates more and more weakness in the body-leading to more depression and the power of resistance of the body becomes so low that the patient develops Allergy even against microscopic dust.
Now, once we have understood about Allergy, ‘cure’ is very easy. For immediate cure; take treatment on point No. 21 on the front and back of palm on the right hand.
2. Start taking Cal. phos 6 or 12 i.e. 3 pills in the morning and 3 pills in the evening-This will reduce the deficiency of calcium.
3. Take Kali Phos 200-8 pills on the first day and then once a week. Then take Kali Phos 12-3 pills in the morning and 3 pills in the evening. This Biochemic medicine will soothe the excited nerves, and the Allergy will under control. During this treatment, drinking gold/silver/copper charged water of 2 glasses reduced from 4 glasses is also advisable.
TO REMOVE ALLERGY PERMANENTLY THE PATIENT MUST DO THE FOLLOWING :
(a) Treatment of excess heat from the body do this : (i) Take as first thing in the morning 1 teaspoonful of haritki churna (harde powder-powder of terminalia chebula retz)+1/2 teaspoon of sugar for 8 to 10 days continuously, then twice a week. This will also keep the bowels clean.
(ii) Take an equal quantity of cumin seed powder(Jeera), black pepper(Kali Mirch), saunf(Sauwp), amla powder,crystal sugar(Misri), and ginger powder(Saunth). Grind them into powder and keep it in a bottle. Take 1 teaspoonful of this powder with water in the morning and evening.
(b) Drink 2 to 3 cups of green juice adding in it 1 teaspoon of Helath Drink + 1 tablespoonful of honey. This will supplement Vitamin "C" and digestive power and increase the power of resistance of the body.
(c) Drink 2 glasses of charged water reduced from 4 glasse. This will empower the brain and the resistance power.
(d) and also take the following Bio-chemic salts : Cal. Phos 6 or 12 -3 pills in the morning & evening for 45 days.
Kali Phos 200 -8 pills once a week. Kali Phos 12 or 30 -3 pills in the morning & evening.
(e) Treatment of Acupressure is a MUST.
(f) And take Blue Light on the chest and back for 5 to 7 minutes twice a day. That will empoer the weakened lungs. Once you start feeling beeter finish the Pranaym with prolonged breath-alternatively from right and left nostril-repeat it at least 10/20 times. If possile also do Kapabhati and Bhastrika.
(g) In case of breathlessness, do the following :
Ask the patient to lie down on the back between 11 A.M. to 4 P.M. and open his/her mouth wide open. And pour 1 tablespoonful of honey directly into the throat in such a way that honey does not touch the tongue. And thus, just in 45 days , the body would have built up enough resistance power-removed the deficiency of calcium and also empowered all the endocrnie glands. So the patient will become free from Allergy and its fear.

8Take a look at a similar question asked here. (Source Below)
Also, it may just be that your husband is sensitive to the new ticking on the mattress. Did you buy new sheets? If you did and have not washed them, they usually have tons of starch on them and that could cause someone to itch and feel like they have bugs crawling on their skin.
Another thing you can try is washing your bedding in the Purex no perfume, no dye detergent. Also All has a product like this as well as Tide.
Does he actually itch or just feel like bugs are crawling on him?
