Insect bites Empty Insect bites

Post by Sazzle Mon Apr 28 2014, 21:25

The last few days I have got loads of insect bites, a few new ones each day. No idea where they are coming from, on all different parts of me not just one area. I have checked Daisy and the house for fleas and stripped my bed, no sign of anything untoward, what's biting me  Sad

Some bugs are more attracted to certain blood and this can change seasonally. We haven't had many here yet but he damp weather brings hem out. Maybe try a plug in? x

Insects love biting me! The only thing that gets rid of the itch is a non drowsy antihistamine tab. I get them from Tesco  Crying or Very sad
