I had some bites ( Like Big and Red Mosquitoes bites ) on my Legs and Arms but there isn't any bites on my waist area. I had went to 2 doctors, they just say is some bugs cause all these bites. They jus ask me to air my bed and bed sheets under the hot sun. But i did follow their instructions, managed to wash my bed sheets, pillow case but there about 3 new bites appear when i wake up. I did spraying some pesticide all over my room. But there isn’t any improvement. Can anyone recommend me what other methods can I use? As the bites are really very itchy

I don’t have any pets. Just that i got lots of cushion and soft toy around my bed area. ( I do wash them frequently. ) The only thing that puzzle me is , none of my family member got the red itchy bites and the doctor also say that I have sensitive skin. I always get a lot of mosquito bites compare other people. Usually I will on my Air Con at night.

For Ankle right.. i also experience 3 times before. One in a cinema in amk ard and 2 times when i went to west coast park... only my foot and ankle are itchy. I think is sand files at that time. I found some information from the internet... some microscope insects call Dust Mite. Could it be the one causing all my itches?

No these would not be bed bug bites. Bed bugs are actually microscopic and can no way "Bite" you. My sister had the same problem. Her bites ended up being fly bites. She was allergic to the actual "Spit" the flies use to drink your blood when they bite you. It keeps the blood from geling up on them letting them drink it. No matter how much you air out your bed they can still land on you and bite without you really knowing. They could have bit you before you went to bed. You might try bug bombing your entire house and then put up fly strips near doors and windows to attract them. A mosquito warding candle (the kind you use outside to keep them away- I can't remember the name of them) burning in your house should help to.

Sorry I have no ans. just sympathize with you as I am getting the same thing. Avg 2 new per nite. Mainly on the ankles.
Washed the bedding, cleaned the room, sprayed the room, etc.
It's not Bed bugs, mosqutoes, fleas or spiders.
The best guess now is maybe mites (but I keep the room clean)
or a small tick as they are hard to kill and see. But I must be picking them up in the driveway as I have even stopped going to the garden.
It's bad when you can't even go outside anymore. Even worse when you can't even sleep at nite.

Bed bugs usually come around if your room or home has too much clutter, they hide in dark areas of the room, under the bed, in the folds of your sheets and comforters.

Don't fumigate unless you are sure that you have bed bugs. They are about 1/4 inch in length, dark brown to reddish brown.

use OFF or another bug repellant before you go to bed, spray the whole perimeter of the room with pesticides, it may be a spider too.

maybe its bedbug. bed bug only come out at night to 'attack' people. you need to check on all you soft toys, blanket, bed sheets and etc etc. they will lay a lot of eggs and infest very fast. better check fast..........................................

theres probably some mosquitos getting you while your asleep. (this happens to me often) dont go spraying killer everywhere. (it might work but could harm you)try closing your windows ,even if they have screens and try to keep a fan on (the cool temp and wind makes it harder for them ) goood !~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
