Okay, it started late Thursday night i started to feel a little bit itchy, that night i woke up with small bumps all over my arms.. Just my arms.. That thursday i was cleaning out one of my cats ears, who we think may have ear mites!!! ( not sure) But at the same time i get weekly allergy shots, and becuase they were closed on monday cuz of christmas, i wasn't able to go, and i miss it that monday.. but i did get one on firiday and i ask the allerist about the bites, and she said it has nothing to do with allegies.. These are very small bumps, only i can notice them, but they itch at night really bad.. any ideas???i know you can catch mites from animals, but it goes away cuz they can't survive on humans, so i believe i will give it till tuesda if it does not clear up, then i will go to the doctor!!

I think it sounds like you were bitten by the mites, as mites and fleas are similar, and flea bites feel like how you described. You may have to call in an exterminator, but in the meantime, take your cat to the vet to be treated for the mites. The vet should also be able to look at your arm and tell you if those are mite bites, as vets see a lot of that. In the meantime, some anti-itch cream can help relieve the itching.

Go to a doc, not to scare you but it could be scabies (or it could just be flea bites- either way you need to check).
