wake up each morn w/new bites on myself but not husband. their tiny but very itchy. i wash sheets every other day but wont't stop. happening to 7yr old daughter also
do not know why but in the meantime you can get roll on liquid deoderant and put it on the bites it will HELP MAJORLY with the itching.
I would look up info on bed bug bites and see if they look like your bites. I have heard those are very itchy, but that not all people have the same reaction. I have also heard that bed bug bites tend to be close together on your body, like 3-5 in a row or cluster. Unfortunately I think they are hard to get rid of... I know someone who had to have it done professionally.
Good luck!
Bed bugs, fleas, you don't have to have a pet to have fleas dragged in, scabies, etc
Bed bugs? Check your mattresses.
Hi E.. If you have animals check for fleas. I would also check my mattress in crevices for bed bugs. Good luck.

my adult son had a bad case of bed bugs and NO bites, so maybe some people arent affected. pick up the mattress and look for signs dark marks, google pictures to compare.
Have you researched bed bugs? They live in your mattress and bite your exposed skin while you sleep. Very tough to get rid of. I hope that's not what it is!
Can you actually see the bugs? We had a run in with scabies last fall. You can't see them. My daughter had a terrible case, my son got a few, I got some, but my husband didn't. They avoid the neck and head area and they like to get between fingers and toes--that's how the pedi diagnosed them. If you look closely in the bed, you can see the fleas and the bedbugs, but not scabies. If you think it could be that, see the Dr for the prescription treatment, which needs to be given to everyone in the household (a cream), sheets washed on hot, anything that can't be washed put in a plastic bag for 2 weeks, and do treatment again in a week if they aren't gone.
Google bug bite pictures and see if there is a picture similar to shat you have - then you will have your answer!
Good luck!
Yep, I had a friend who had them...her son had them for months before they figured out what was causing it....the doctors she took him to did not even realize what it was. Washing the sheets is not enough. There are sprays ( I think the main theory is extreme heat or cold kills them). I think the sprays use chemicals that make them extremely cold. My friend had to get rid of their mattresses and wood bed frames and use the spray along all her baseboards repeatedly, plus washing washing washing everything all the time in super hot water. The eggs they leave are almost impossible to see and thus they keep coming back. It took her several months to get rid of them. Some people are more sensitive to their bites than others, thus maybe why your husband does not appear to be getting them. I know my friend about drove herself crazy battling them, might be worth it to pay a professional if you can.
Could it be a sensitivity to your laundry detergent? Or maybe dry, sensitive skin?
So sorry....
Oh no!!! Sounds like Bed Bugs! Your hubby may not necessarily be affected....Check your matress asap!!! Look in the corners and seams.....I sure hope your'e not affected.....
