Reply:you have to keep on


using it
Reply:It could be scabies, hives, chicken pox, shingles. poison oak. it depends, are you stressed, were you in the nature??If you have a black light and look at your skin in the dark with the light, any type of critter will glow green. So try that and you will know if it's a bug or not.
Reply:It could be neuro-dermatitis. This is related to stress or something else (marijuana) that effects the central nervous system. Try over the counter hydro-cortisone cream. You can do your own research on the internet by finding pictures and info on skin rashes at various search engines.

when it comes to the skin it is hard to know unless you tell the doctor what happened so they can give you proper care.


Here are some alergies that it could be...


laundry soap,


dust,


Bites can happen year round..


spiders,


or you might have Bed Bugs.... no joke they are a bug to deal with.


I AM NOT SAYING YOU HAVE THEM... JUST TO CHECK IT OUT.....





Where they come from


It often seems that bed bugs come from nowhere. Outbreaks can often be traced to travel, especially in countries or cities where bed bugs are common. Once they're introduced, they often spread room to room throughout a building.


They’re efficient and active travelers, usually transported on luggage, clothing, beds, furniture, etc.





Fighting an infestation is a costly, time-consuming process. They hide in many places, so inspections and treatments must be very meticulous. In most cases, experts recommend enlisting the services of a professional pest control company. Belongings must be removed from the home to be washed or dry-cleaned, followed by thorough vacuuming, before the exterminator can even begin work. It often takes several visits from the exterminator to eradicate the problem





Where to look


Check for bed bugs on the seams, tufts or folds of mattresses or daybed covers.


In severe infestation, bed bugs may be hiding behind baseboards, window and door casings, pictures and frames, in furniture, loosened wallpaper, cracks in plaster and the like.





Hiding places can often be discovered by keeping an eye out for black or brown spots of dried insect excrement and dried blood on surfaces on which the bed bugs rest. Eggs, eggshells and cast skins may also be found in bug resting places





Don't panic


Bear in mind that although incidence of bed bugs in the United States is increasing, they remain rare in comparison to most other household pests.


Bites that appear overnight could indeed be caused by bed bugs, but one cannot assume that any bite means an infestation. There are other variables that can cause a skin reaction, unrelated to any type of insect.





Knowing what bed bugs look like can prompt you to call a professional early so you avoid an infestation.





Other insects can also resemble bedbugs. Carefully compare bed bugs with reference images. If any questions remain, call a pest control expert.





Also, bear in mind that bug-related fears and hallucinations could be caused by amphetamine use, drug abuse, or schizophrenia.





Clean!


-Consider repairing breaks in wallpaper, chips in paint, or other wall or floor cracks and crevices where bed bugs might hide.


-Inspect, vacuum and caulk crevices.





-Throw out any clutter that you don’t need. Bed bugs can hide anywhere, even in stacks of paper or books. Minimize the amount of places where the pests can hide.





-Inspect the bed: Run your fingers along the seams of bedding and the mattress. Check the mattress tag as it may harbor bugs. Examine the box spring, the bed frame, and remove the headboard if possible. Wooden frames make a better bed bug habitat than metal frames.





-Also check the bedside table. Look for signs of bed bugs in the drawers and along the wall on the side of the bed.





-Vacuum all mattresses.





-Wash clothes and bedding, and dry them on high heat.





-Seal anything that may have been exposed to bed bugs in plastic bags. Dispose of used vacuum bags in plastic bags too.








Exterminate


Because bed bugs are tough to get rid of, experts recommend hiring a professional exterminator. Experienced companies know where to look for bed bugs, and have an assortment of tools at their disposal.


Do NOT, for any reason, use insecticide on a mattress unless the label specifically mentions such use. Most household sprays are not suitable for application to mattresses.
