Something is biting me

18 years ago

It isn't fleas. I can never see the damn things but I have small bites on my head and body that are itchy. I swear I can feel them crawling on me. I think whatever they are, they are in my house because I don't feel them at work. My husband says sometimes he feels them, too. I assume they are either from the dogs or from the garden. Any ideas?

They're probably fleas or chiggers. We had hundreds on our boots and pant legs a couple weeks ago at Wells Mills Park. They bit mostly our feet and ankles and itched like mad!

There is a spray Benadryl that helps with the itching. I use it for spider sites.
Feel better.
