Insect bites
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

Re: Insect bites
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

Re: Insect bites
Have had the bathroom and back window open a bit but not my room. A plug in is a good idea, might try that xx

Re: Insect bites
Could be grass mites, they are quite active right now and can affect your dog too

Re: Insect bites
Have you been walking anywhere near water ? Last year I got bitten to death on my legs by insects near the local river.

Re: Insect bites
Insects love biting me! The only thing that gets rid of the itch is a non drowsy antihistamine tab. I get them from Tesco
