it really looks like early chigger bites.

I found a spider in my room like last week and my fiance flushed it in the toilet. What would I do without my bug-terminator..lol
That big ole bump on my arm is a swollen bite, I have skinny arms..lol..and those red dots are the bites.

were you out side near any plants that is where chiggers hide. here is a link
to tell you... http://science.howstuffworks.com/question488.htm

they are really bad here right now the hubby had them all over his feet.

Ozzie'sperson · 07-13-2007, 09:24 AM

If you were sleeping with your window open, my best guess is a mosquito -- and he brought friends!

I am allergic to them. I have had some swell up like golfballs. Benadryl and an analgesic spray clear it up.

Several years ago, there apparently was one in my car. It was summer, so I'd have sandals on and I'd go to the store or go grab a bite to eat and by the time I came home, I'd have 10-12 bites on my feet. (I think it was living on the driver's side floor.

) This went on for months even though I cleaned and even put bug spray there!

Do you have any Benedryl in the house? Take that for now, it will help the
itch. Get to the doc's.

Seriously, if you don't think they are mosquito bites, and the itching is bothering you that bad, then go get checked out.

Ozzie'sperson · 07-13-2007, 09:29 AM

Definitely try the Benadryl then and see if that helps. Be careful though. It CAN make you VERY drowsy.

vainchick5 · 07-13-2007, 09:29 AM

I haven't been near any plants or anything. I am VERY VERY susceptible to mosquito bites. Like even in the dead of winter I'll get mosquito bites. Or when we go camping I'm all bitten and swollen while everyone else is just dandy. I think I will take some benadryl to see if it helps. I'm still worried about my blood circulations though

Don't worry. If you are not having any other syptoms, you wouldn't be going into anaphylactic shock. If you are susceptible to mosquitos, that's probably what it is especially since you left your window open.
