Something keeps biting me and I don't know what it is

[OhZone]

The bite on the finger shown in the picture looks like and ant bite. They usually bite with the front end and sting with the back end so you get 2 marks.

You all don't say, but do you spend a lot of time outside? And when?

There are tiny Noseeums that pack in a lot of venom with their bite and it raises up and itches like crazy. These critters usually are active by late afternoon. Altho if you disturb their home. where ever that may be you can get bit anytime. They can get on your clothes and you can bring them into the house with you.

For those with partners that don't get bit - maybe you are sweeter than they are. Your chemistry is affected by your diet which may attract the little biters. https://www.mosquitnoband.com/why-do...n-anyone-else/

I'm havin the same problem none of these above please help it happens frequently but I've been rid of the biting for awhile an started up when I got home from work and changed as I was eating

I'm having the same problem, both my parents are not getting bites in the same living quarters, but I just woke up with 7 more random bits/bumps bring me to 102 bites over the last 3weeks. My mother is deep cleaning the whole house and I am currently sleeping in the cleanest room in the house (+clothes), and still got bumps. They look like outdoor bug bites, but I have been working outside in pants, boots, and a sweater to avoid bits. I can feel bugs when they move on me including fleas, but I have never seen a bug or felt one bite me.
I wish you well, thank you for leading me your posts too.

You might need to try a repellent spray while you work outside. I use Cutter brand Lemongrass and Eucalyptus it works great. There was an article on FB that CDC recommended it for folks who do not like DEET. http://www.cutterinsectrepellents.co...ucalyptus.aspx

I spray myself including my clothes...and a couple spritzes on my bulldog's back...we have west nile mosquitos in our area.

I also use Avon skin so soft bath oil in my shower as a shower wash......just dab it on... not too much I have also used it after my shower....just put dabs on my exposed skin.....it will keep mosquitos off, even while you sleep.

I've also tried vicks mentholatum chest rub....even that dollar store brand worked. Be careful not to get that in your eyes.

But again, I strongly suggest the lemongrass/eucalyptus spray or the avon skin so soft bath oil....used full strength and dabbed on.

Store your work clothes on a back porch, not in the house. There is an older link about spiders and bugs on this forum with tons of ideas....I'll add if I can find it. https://www.city-data.com/forum/house...ug-spider.html

July 2018, I am being invaded by some kind of bug. I believe it is in my skin. These things are tiny, black and have clear tails. I get bit and itch all over. Mostly my head I feel them crawling. My head, sholders, face, and feet have bad itching, I get straight line scratches on me with small broken lines that are fire red. I believe it's how they lay eggs. I have had some kind of larva in my hair that feels like worms constantly moving. I can feel something running through my hair. My hair fail out from shoulder length. I feel these bugs but never see them. I have had this for 17 months. My doctor thinks I am insane literally. I feel tiny sharp pokes on my body. My face has broken out really bad as well. Has anyone ever found anything. I tried giving these bugs to my doctor but was told they had no equipment to know what they are looking at....I am lost.

Keep calling doctors, such as dermatologists, that have proper equipment to see what type of bug it is.

Try calling an infectious disease clinic or international disease or even the University biology department.

I am sorry for your problems.

Hi, I'm curious because same thing is happening to me and noone else in the household!
What did it turn out to be, and how did you get rid of it?

[phonelady61]

you both should be checking behind your headboard . I mean actually moving it out away from the wall and look for any signs of bugs and spray like the devil back there . a friend of mine had a brown recluse living back there and she killed it and took it to the er with her and they said yes she had been bitten by the spider . So just a thought check out your headboard .
