Occasionally a person in an office environment claims they are seeing a phantom pest or that they being bitten by an unseen bugs. What are they?

A. They are sometimes affectionately called "No See-ums." Here are a couple of considerations.

Fungus gnats, which are a very tiny flying insect, can be the phantom pest that flashes in front your monitor. Fungus gnats breed in moist and sour conditions. Finding the source is the key to control.

Also, there is what is known as the "office itch syndrome," one person claims to feel a bite or an itch and the next person agrees, soon the whole office is itching! Some may complain of "paper mites or cable mites," but that is a myth. There is no known mite that attacks paper or computer cables.

However, there may be other considerations requiring a more thorough investigation. Whats Attacking Me? More.

A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
