Unknown Bites (pictures Included) Help Please! Posted: 02-09-07 22:34pm
eek! Ok, so
these "things" keep biting me and they
itch! I have narrowed it down to dust
mites, and the reason being is cause I
have not dusted my room in like 6 months.
I'm a college student so I don't have
time to. These bites come and go.
Sometimes there will be up to 5-7 bites
and some only 2-3, they happen mostly on
my arms and legs....(for now) the bites
dont last more than an hour..Meaning they
stop itching and you cant see them
anymore. I have good hygiene and bathe
every morning/night so i'm a pretty clean
person...And these bites came out of
nowhere. I never see anything nore do I
even feel when they bite....Just itching
then red/white welts...They also mostly
only happen when i'm on my bed, i've
washed my sheets and pillow cases like 50
times! ... I think they are
microscopic (dust mites) but I do not know
for sure. I'm so scared and dont want
people getting them when they come to my
room! Here are some pics...Both pics
are of my left fore arm. Thanks for any
replies!!!
by the way, these also look like when I
get bit by a mosquito, but there are none
here cause of the cold I think..But I do
not see any mosquitos anywhere..
Could be bedbugs. Check the mattress and
boxspring for any dark staining primarily
around the piping. Also look on the frame
for any bugs.

If you have the time, go through
everything and clean it, you might find
something. Those look similar to bites I
get, they might possably be spider bites.
Bedbugs tend to get somewhere from 20-100
bites per day and dont go away in an hour
but you should check that anyway.

it looks like a mosquito bite to
me...especially if it itches...check
around for a mosquito floatin somewhere in
your room!
