if you were bit and at night chances are good you got ate by mosquitios and all you can do is apply callomine lotion to the areas or take benadryl in capsle form to relieve the itching this should go away in a matter of days befoe you go back to the park spray yourself with bug repelent to stop the biting or wear long sleeves and pants too your body may be sensitive to the bites thats why you are the only one sufferng

Sound like mozzie bites but it could have been any small winged nasty.The swelling and itch are caused by your bodies histamine reaction to the bite not the bite its self.Take an antihistamine and apply insect repellent in the future.

Gnats probably,they are tiny but seem to leave large bumps ,I find a dab of vinegar will stop the itching

It sounds like mosquitoes, put some rubbing alchol on the spots. It will take away the itching.

I think it must be chiggers (Harvest mite).
Please see the webpages for more details and images on Chiggers (Harvest mite).

Chiggers, kill them with alcohol and pull them out with tweezers.
