Answers:
My sister has extreme itching all over her body. Her dermitoligist says sinus infection. She has taken the antibiotics, still itches. her Dr. told her her gallblader is not working, can cause itching. And her liver is sluggish. Prednisone is the only thing to stop the itching, however I wouldnt jump to this as a solution as this drug really isnt that good for you to be taking.
really I would say see a doctor.

sounds weird, i would go to a Dr to check it out, it sounds serious

Fungus from a dirty carpet?

Make sure that you are using products that can not cause you allergies. Try with soaps with moisturizers (ex. Dove). detergents with not too much perfume, try to keep clothes and bed linen very clean. Use creams and moisturizers.
If you have pets you could also have gets some of the little fleas. Sometimes they can get in the skin and you can not see them, for that, the doctor need to give you a medicine to put all over your body for almost 10 hours and then wash it. There are many reasons and see. If that runs in the family maybe a visit to a dermatologist will be fine.

Don't eliminate food as the culprit, either. Some food allergies can occur later in life, and they don't just cause anaphylactic reactions, either, they often show themselves as skin rashes or conditions.
