Q: Bug Bites And Arthritis

asked by: unknownperson on August 12th, 2007

Ok, one of my roommates has a lot of bone problems and I didn't know where else to put this.

But last night while him and his friend were out glass working he got bit by a lot of bugs. Two hours later his arthritis was very very bad. Anyways, his question is if there is any way the bugs could have caused this increase in arthritic pain?

Hello Unknownperson,

I would recommend that your roommate speak with his doctor about whether bug bites can cause arthritis to flare up.

I do know that low barometric pressure will cause arthritis to flare up.
