The patient (Joyce) was a young mother whose very severe eczema and asthma were accompanied by an incapacitating depression. The following summary of the three interviews indicate briefly the psychodynamic materials developed which helped Joyce uncover her confused sexual identifications and fear of lesbianism. In Interview 96 the initial Beetle Bug Dream was studied cautiously. On analysis the tentacles of the Beetle Bugs symbolically represented the hands of a man mauling a girl's skin. A sexual approach by a man is considered an attack. \"Bugs get under the skin. If Jack (my husband) touches my skin, that spot itches.\" A second Beetle Bug is described. The special aspect of this unique Bug is that it was not threatening. This Bug is discussed in terms of the transference: the silent analyst and a father who responded to her childhood travail by silence are compared. Reassociation of the Beetle Bug Dream without LSD took place one year later. The session (Interview 235) lasted about 45 minutes and the verbatim recording occupied 12 typewritten pages. Free association led to the realization that the patient was programmed in part to identify with her father--a silent, passive individual. It was apparent that a psychological struggle for femininity, induced by the confused identification led to a threat of penetration by the sting of the Beetle Bug and, where a man was involved, penetration by the penis. Interview 236 (three days later) was conducted under LSD 25. The Beetle Bug Dream again formed the basis of this interview, which lasted four hours and occupied 46 pages of typewritten, verbatim material. A new feeling of independence from maternal influence is felt. \"It used to be if I just thought of her, I could start scratching.\" The relationship with her husband is complicated by \"deep, dark secrets.\" She is afraid of her husband. Her mother emphasized she was \"one\" with her father. Contact with aggressive males during adolescence, as well as seductive episodes were disturbing. In camp she feared that she might be a lesbian. This fear persisted into adult life. The threat of the Beetle Bug sting is developed further. Hostile feelings toward the penis are revealed in detail, The part of the penis in the vagina could be chopped off--the penis was what the sting of the Beetle Bug would be if it penetrated the skin. The bridegroom attacks the bride. An unwanted pregnancy is equivalent to the broken sting remaining in the skin. These revelations led to insight regarding unusual violent anger toward her child during toilet training. The data support the view that publication of verbatim recordings are a necessary condition for establishing psychoanalytic procedures as a basic science of medicine and of the validity of psychodynami","PeriodicalId":76644,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of asthma research","volume":"13 4","pages":"193-233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3109/02770907609104177","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12192435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Voorhorst and co-workers' in 1964. Their findings are now largely confirmed that all but a small proportion of patients sensitive to house dust are allergic to extracts of the universally distributed acarine mite genus Dermatophagoides.2-8 The most important European species, D. pteronyssinus, is 0 3 mm in length and grows well on human skin scales. Many thousands can be cultured on 250 mg according to F. T. M. Spieksma.' It is said that on average a person sheds 5 g of dander per week,'0 thus ensuring no lack of culture medium for mites in the house and more especially in the bed. The Dutch workers1' with painstaking thoroughness found the mites in the house dust of all the homes examined in Holland, and particularly in damp homes. Of the total number of mites found, the Dermatophagoides spp. made up 70%, and D. pteronyssinus comprised 80% of these. This mite grows best at about 25°C (86 F) and at a relative humidity of 80% with a seasonal spurt in growth from September to November, when the Dutch patients with house dust allergy are most affected. Another species, D. farinae, Wvhich grows more readily on cereal media such as dogmeal, seems to be the more important in Egypt and the U.S.A.'\"13 In Japan, where D. farinae was first identified as a source of house dust allergen,2 it is now thought from an examina tion of all the different mite genera and species found in the house dust that the total mite content accounted for the allergenicity of the dust from different parts,\" even though D. pteronyssinus was still present in the largest numbers. Few or no Dermatophagoides spp. have been found in house dust collected at high altitudes in cold climates, such as Davos, where heating in the home keeps the humidity low.'3 Dermatophagoides spp. of mites and their particles are present in the air during bed-making at home, though not in hospitals,'6 as is evident from the usual history given by patients with rhinitis and asthma due to house dust allergy. The mites have been isolated from the dust by mechanical sieving and flotation with dichloromethane or lactic acid. More recently\" ultrasonic treatment of house dust in a detergent solution has been found to dislodge the mites from the fibrous and other debris.
