I have noticed that I have some type of small lice type bug falling from my hair, They are NOT the typical lice that I have seen. They appear white in color when I am wearing a black shirt and there are tons of white webbing or fuzz that are all over my shirt to. At other times they appear dark in color. I noticed one trait that i know is not typical, and that is they have one leg that is extremely longer than the rest, if u touch that leg repeatedly w/a hair they become very agataited. Please help me.

Hmmm, I wonder if you are talking about the Demodex mite. If you are, that long leg is really a tail. Have you noticed whether or not they appear to be in pairs? I know they like hair but usually it is the hair on the face. Even if it isn't the demodex, it still sounds like some sort of mite. I would defnitely see a dermatolotist asap for formal diagnosis and treatment.
I looked an found a site that will give you some info on them and has a photo of what they look like.
