So what do you think it could be?? Please help me with this little issue and tell me how can i treat this bites, they are very itchy and painfull. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

There are several thousand known species of fly, but many of them do not bite including the common housefly. However, Chiggers, Black Flies, Stable Flies, Deer Flies, Sand Flies etc., can inflict a painful bite and transmit many infectious diseases. As biting flies mature, eating and thriving on rotting vegetation and decaying matter on the one hand and blood meals every three to four days in between, they are one of the leading carriers of infectious disease worldwide. Midges, gnats and no-see-ums can also inflict an irritating and potentially dangerous bite due to allergic reaction.

Flies go through a three stage life-cycle. The female lays eggs, often on decaying matter such as cow pats, but sometimes (as with Black Flies) in running water or elsewhere. The egg hatches into a larva called a maggot, and then several weeks later the larva metamorphoses into an adult fly. Some species of female flies need a blood meal to provide the protein necessary to produce eggs, whereas in some other species both genders bite and drink blood. As they bite, flies inject anticoagulants in their saliva, to keep the blood from clotting and closing the wound. The anticoagulants cause soreness and itching which may last several days.

Treatment:
Wash hands and the area around the bite with soap and water, or use an alcohol wipe to disinfect the site.
Seek pain relief.
Do not rub or scratch the wound. Rubbing may spread the poisons, and scratching may result in secondary infection.
Seek medical attention if redness and soreness spreads beyond the area of the bite, or if a serious reaction occurs.

Answer 2

There are biting flies but they are not of the household variety. These are black flies, deer flies, stable flies, horse flies. Most of these are found outside the home. a good website with pictures and good descriptions is listed below. I hope this helps...

Answer 3

I suspect they are ( do NOT freak out) spider bites. Take some generic benadryl(by mouth) and apply some sort of ointment like neosporin. Then change your sheets, Vacuum the whole room, the drapes, and clean out from under the bed and the closet. You're going to itch but the benadryl will take care of that ...Bendryl in some cream or lotion is OK too...

Answer 4

it can be flies, they do have blood, like many bugs. just spray for them when you see them, and treat the bites with antibiotic ointment.

Answer 5

YES FLIES BITE. TAKE BENADRYL & PUT CALAMINE LOTION ON IT TO ALSO STOP THE ITCH. YOU COULD ALSO RUB AN ICE CUBE ON THE AREA FOR A FEW MINUTES TO NUMB IT.
