What keeps biting me!

Neodite · 9 Jun 2009 at 15:54

The last week or so ive been getting bites around my ankles and feed (And the odd one on my arm)

They look like mosqitoe (sp?) bites, and they are painfully ichy, will be fine most of the time and then all of a sudden they will all be iching like crazy to the point im scratching so much they bleed..

So does anyone know what the hell is biting me, can i nuke them from orbit, and how to i make the iching go away

If needed i could upload pics of my manky feet

When does it happen? Not bed bugs is it?

*edit

Do you sleep with your bedroom window open at night now that the warmer nights are creeping in?
If you are tall like me and your feet hang out the bottom of the bed you will find that the night midges will fly in a take a bite.

I think that's enough because he's asking for advice..

Don't scratch them (easier said than done). And it sounds like fleas?

This, but just in case have a darn good hover including under the bed. Wash your bedsheets on hot and just make sure the place is tidy and clean.

No asking for medical advice please or the thread will end up being closed.

I do have my feat ontop of the covers at night yes, but we never have the window open due to the baby. ill upload some pics.

Not scratching them just dont work either, else i carnt sleep, and when they bleed the pain stops for a few hours, lol

If i woke up and that was on my leg, i would cut my leg off and then beat it with my hacked off leg

Try wearing socks in bed and see if they stop

Do you have little lumps that stick around for a while (days) where you're bitten? If so, it's fleas.

They might well be mosquitoes. Do you have any ponds, water troughs, buckets full of water, lakes, or any other stagnant water nearby? They don't tend to carry anything in Europe, just itch like merry hell.

When I've had lots (usually on hols in Sweden somewhere) if they got too bad, I'd wet blobs of toilet paper and stick them to the worst ones. Anything to cool that itch, they are maddening I know! The more you itch, the more the itchy stuff spreads under your skin, and the larger they get - so best to avoid it!

Oh, and buy some repellent.
