Are some people more suseptible to fleas or bed bug bites than others?
My girlfriend gets some sort of bites all over and I don't get any. I am wondering if there is a reason that I don't get bit, but she gets bites all over.
yeah its the same way with my husband and me. we recently had a horror movie style flea infestation at our house. i had no bites but he looked like he had leprosy, all covered in itchy scabs and bumps and stuff. ha ha. also mosquitoes hardly bite me, i guess insects just find me unpleasant :]
How to reduce the size of mosquito bites?
I am allergic to mosquito bites i think and one bit me right near my eye. Now i have this huge eye and i can barely open it. Is there a way that i can make it go away or at least make it smaller? Id prefer home remedies.
If you’re truly allergic, the best solution is an antihistamine like Benadryl. That should reduce the reaction. With an allergy that makes you swell up like that, you’re going to need to take medicine for it. Home remedies could make it less itchy or reduce a little of the swelling, but to really make the allergic reaction go down you need an antihistamine.
How can I tell if these bites are from fleas?
All of a sudden I’ve been getting many bug bites on my feet, ankles, and calves. I just moved into a new apartment, and from what I’ve asked other people they think that my apartment has fleas.
The bites are small and red, not big and swollen like mosquito bites. They are hard and they hurt more than they itch.
I really hope there are no fleas – gross! But I need to know if I should get the place treated.
Thanks!
I am dealing with the same problem. The fleas are jumping on you as you walk by their spots. You need to completely vacuum the entire place and mop thoroughly. Clean as much as possible and throw out old stuff that was left behind. Then you need a good flea treatment. I am using Precor and I am still at war with the tenacious bastards. Don’t wait, go to war! Tell your landlord too! It is unacceptable for you to pay your hard earned money to move into a situation like that!
How can you detect if you are allergic to mosquitoes bites?
I was camping with my family and there were alot of mosquitoes where we were at and i was the one getting bitten most and i had about 10-12 bites and the four huggest bites are 2 on my left ankle and the two are both of my elbows and the bites my ankle and my elbows are so huge that it looks like i have two swollen elbows and a swollen ankle and my dad said that i might be allergic to mosquitoe bites but i dont know if i am for sure allergic to mosquitoe bites or not? But Any Advice or answers on this would be very helpful.
An allergist can test for this! But if you had that bad a reaction, you probably are! either that or your just very sensitive! Ask your doctor to refer you to an allergist! He will put a little drop on your skin similar to the stuff a mosquito would inject you with and if it reacts, you are allergic!
If you are though, you should make sure to invest in lots of good mosquito repellents! Otherwise you could have a serious reaction if you get bitten too many times!
How do you treat and prevent bug bites on your lip?
I seem to get a bug bites on my lip about 3 times a year.
When I do, my lip becomes puffy and painful. Kinda looks like a giant pink tennis ball protruding from my bottom lip.
I've tried icing my lips, but it doesn't always help reduce the swelling. I remember I tried draining the bite, but it left a huge nasty scab and a scar that took months to recover.
These bites usually occur at night, when I'm asleep so it may be bed bugs or something. I wash my sheets and blankets every month or so.
So, is there a better way to treat a bug bite on the lip?
And how can I prevent getting bitten?
Bugs don't usually bite a person's lips. This sounds more like cold sores to me.
What is the best repellant to stop mosquito bites?
We are going to Turkey the first week in October and we want to avoid getting mosquito bites. We were in Bulgaria July/August of this year and had numerous bites even although we used insect repellant spray and also used one of the insect repellant plugs in our room. Do you have any suggestions?
Your best bet is AUTAN spray or milk or cream. And use BAYGON insect repllant plugs at night (when the mossies bite the most). I use this in Greece where I live and the little buggers love me!! (I am sure you will find it in Turkish supermarkets as well). You can also buy stick on patches from chemists, but they don't work as well as AUTAN. Good luck and have a great holiday

You can use Yahoo! Search for both audio and video.
How can I get rid of mosquito bites overnight?
Please help!!!! My first day of middle school in a couple days and I don't want to have big ugly bug bites on my face. Oh yeah, I also have these bumps that are smaller than mosquito bites and just appeared overnight. But they don't itch or anything, and they aren't red either.
Also I have sensitive skin.
There is this zapper thing i have which flattens down mosquito bites quite quickly. It is very small and compact, and basically gives you a tiny tiny electric shock which almost "flushes" the sting out of your system, or makes it less poisonous. You should click the top of it 5-10 times, and place it on the bite. After that I would put some bite cream on, and it will be better in no time!
How do you get fleas to quit biting you and how do u treat the bites?
a friend of mine just got rid of their dogs and now the fleas attack them and have bites on their feet and legs. I also need to know what is the best way to get rid of them in the house.
Use a fogger, or there are powders you can use for the carpets just sprinkle let stand for 24 hours then vacum. You have to eradicate the flea infestation before you can stop the attacks. Just remember these fleas have laid eggs in the carpets they are also in their yard so treat the interior as well as the exterior perimeter of the yard.
How do you get rid of bug bites quickly?
I got a lot of bug bites on my legs and I'm going to camp tomorrow and i dont want to have tons of bites all over me for a whole week at camp. Any quick and easy suggestions?
If they are welts and are itchy, apply ice to reduce the swelling.
I also put rubbing alcohol on them to reduce the size.
Cortizone cream or the like works well in reducing them too.
This regiment reduces and eliminates them in a few days not instantly.
