First Aid

some mysterious creature is biting my daughter at night. she sleeps with me i am not getting bitten. when she wakes up she seems to have another bite. they are all on her back and neckline. i thought it was chigger bites at first but it seems like when she wakes up she has another bite. they start out as a small red bump that is very itchy. then it starts to get a clear liquid head on it. and then it finally scabs over. i have looked and looked for bed bugs. i dont see anything that would be a sign of them. i cleaned all the bedding. sprayed the bed down. vacuumed like crazy. i really dont know what they are. she had the exact same bites on her last year this time. and the doctor gave her anti itch cream. he wasnt sure if they were chigger bites or not. i am getting frustrated. i rent and i dont know if i should call the landlord and tell him i need someone to come and inspect because i cant find anything. what kid of bites do these sound like?

I was told several different things such as; remove anything from around them so they don't hurt themselves, turn them on their side, leave them alone and call 911. I would obviously call 911, however, what should I do?

I was holding one of my cats when there was a rather large band outside and as he ran away one of his back claws caught my lip.

So I've got this cut, it goes from about 3 mm up into the skin above the lip to about 3mm into the lip. I don't really know how deep it is I'd guess a couple of mm but now it is all swollen so I can't tell..

It happened about 45 mins ago and is still bleeding a bit. I have been applying pressure.

Just wondering if I should go down to the walk in centre to get it looked at our not...

Can someone enlighten me on this? I was just told that taking straight B-6 vitamin will keep bugs away. Can someone claim the validity of this information? The person says taking it internally will come thru your pores and will keep bugs away. Thanks!

About a year ago I was at my grandmothers and I heard a noise in her bushes and I thought it sounded like baby birds, so I pulled the bush apart a bit to look and something flew out and landed on my face. It stung so bad and I couldnt get it off eventully I had to pull it off with my fingernails and I saw it before it hit the ground it and it almost looked like a moth except it was black and a bit smaller. They also made weird sounds. My face swelled up badly and stung so bad and the sting looked like a bad zit or sore. All I know is there was a bunch of them in the bush but only one flew out at me. The sting lasted for a week, and I got naseous and had a headache.

Does anyone have any idea what bit/stung me?

I got an email a while ago that said the lady swore by it. As soon as you get stung you are to put a penny on the sting and something with the copper is supposed to help it. Any one try it?? I hate getting stung so I am not about to test out the myth but if anyone has done it let me know.
