Its an allergic reaction to something. I'm allergic to mosquitos and it still doesn't look like that when I get bitten. I would see a doctor as soon as possible. You may not be able to see one if you wait too long since this is Friday (Friday the 13th at that

)

Have you eaten anything that you've never had before?

Nope, I've been eating what I normally eat

I'm so confused and nervous

OK!

Now I'm freaked out!! YUCK! Hubby and I are staying in a hotel in Maine (the beginning of Aug)...Should I bring Lysol (would this kill the little suckers!)spray to spray down the bed and pillows? Or maybe sleep out on the deck!

Nobella, my hubby is a few months shy of his MD degree. I showed him the photos and he said they look like flea or chigger bites. You should take some oral benedryl and also rub some topical benedryl or cortisone on the areas and if that doesn't help, go see a doctor.

As much as I spray, it would kill an elephant!

I wipe them down with a damp rag and I shake out all my clothes. My skin crawled for days after watching that report ... and my next two business trips were interesting.

I know the kids don't have fleas. I checked, and I think I'd see them jumping around wouldn't I??

OMG were traveling next month. I will be sure to pack or purchase a can of lysol when we get to FL to hit the beds.

Not necessarily. And even if your kids don't have them, they may be in your yard. If you picked any up in the yard, they will bite you and not your kids bc they are on flea preventative and you are not. I know my apartment complex yard has SO MANY fleas because everyone around here has dogs and not everyone uses flea preventative. It's so annoying. So, even if your babies don't have fleas, those could still be flea bites.

Maybe I get bit when I take them for their potty walk?? OMG could I be dragging in fleas???? How do I find out if I have fleas?

Connie · 07-13-2007, 10:38 AM

OMGosh...you poor girl! I don't have any advice...just wanted to say I hope you get this figured out quickly and can feel good soon! Does your fiance have any bites on him? *HUG*

Judy in Waco · 07-13-2007, 10:43 AM

I am sooo sorry! Hope you feel better soon.

Don't worry, Nobella. We go through the same thing. This is what I did......put on white socks and drag your feet around your carpet. If you get any black specks on your white socks, then there are fleas in the carpet. You'll have to get it sprayed.

vainchick5 · 07-13-2007, 10:50 AM

Thanks ladies

It's horrible, I'm itching so bad. No my fiance has no bites on him, and he's at my house and spends the night but nothing on him

figures. Men have it so good, once again..lol

The SAME THING happens with me & my hubby! I ALWAYS get bitten and he NEVER gets bitten! Apparently, some people are genetically built to attrack bugs and bugbites more than others. It sux. We're just sweet, right Nobie?

I know. I know EXACTLY how you feel! Trust me!!!!!!!!!!! But, the season will be over soon and before you know it you'll be out of that apartment and in your new house which is bug free and you can even get the yard sprayed and treated. We're moving this weekend and before we even bring the babies to the house, we're getting the exterminator to spray the house and yard. I hate those dang fleas and I'm doing everything I can to make sure they don't get into our new house!
