It's insane how well it works! We live in a very buggy area and always get poison ivy and it helps so much </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-bug-bite-is-this#post-2893152 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 23:17:32 +0000 crazydoglady 2893152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: @Boopers: @Kaohinani: Thanks for the insights! I am pretty sure it's mosquitos from when DS comes out to the living room to sleep in the middle of the night. They aren't crazy itchy, so I dont think they are chiggers.I feel bad for the poor guy but put some hydrocortisone on the bites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-bug-bite-is-this#post-2893144 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 20:11:04 +0000 Boopers 2893144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe chiggers? Do you live in an area with chiggers? We recently experienced our first incident with chiggers and a ton of bites popped up all of my son’s body out of nowhere the day after he was exposed to them. Those bites look similar to what his looked like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-bug-bite-is-this#post-2893140 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 20:03:59 +0000 Kaohinani 2893140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CrazyDogLady:<br /> It looks like (a) a spider bite [although 15 seems a bit extensive for a spider] or (b) a very hungry [female] mosquito. My DS has had both and the welts look similar to that which you took a picture of. I hope you figure out what it is and your DS is okay. 💓 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-bug-bite-is-this#post-2893119 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 16:29:47 +0000 Sams Mom 2893119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes a mosquito can live in your room and get you multiple times over a couple days 😕</p> <p>I get a welt like that with mosquito bites too, hopefully that's all it is and the little effer meets his end soon and leaves your baby alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-bug-bite-is-this#post-2893116 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 16:08:23 +0000 crazydoglady 2893116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has been waking up with these bug bites and I can't figure it out. He must have 15 or so. :(It's only DS so seems unlikely that it's fleas (especially since our dogs sleep with us and never go in his room) and I have never seen a flea on them. I just tore apart his entire bed after washing all the bedding yesterday and found nothing except a teeny tiny spider. Any thoughts? Can a mosquito live in your room and feast on you for days? One of these bites has healed more than the other.</p> <p>[attach=8671/19/pviyq0.450x600.20190731_130827.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=8671/19/pviyri.600x450.20190731_130917.jpg] </p>
