perverted bed bugs?!

My advice: Hoover your mattress and cover yourself with insect repellant before bed. You might just be one of those people that the bugs love (like me). My boyfriend was with me nearly every night and he never got a single bite. Same as my dad, I'll get eaten alive by midgies in summer and he won't get touched. You probably just have nice tasting blood. Drink some beer and eat some marmite. Last resort cover yourself in clingfilm
:yuck:
i don't ever recall being bitten before in my life so i don't know that i'm one of these people who attract bugs that bite.
i think he (unless it was a lesbian) just liked my boobs. don't blame him really.
Most flea bites tend to have an odd itchy feeling along with them, kinda in the stomach, when pressed, though that could just be a result of my allergy.
Fleas will also be visable when fully grown, though harder to see than some bugs. Try leaving a bowl of water out on the bed when you go out, once a flea jumps in it'll be trapped, and you'll know for sure.
If you want to treat fleas then go to a pet shop. The treatments available in supermarkets, Boots, etc, simply do not work. You'll want a full strength flea spray from a vet. Someone could have brought them from home.
To be honest though - with the cold weather, it may just have been an insect dying from the cold and going crazy.
Keep an eye on whether any new bites appear as well - if it's fleas, or another infestation - you will get bitten again.
i don't think it's fleas. :no:
i hope not anyway!!
it's weird..there's 4 bits with a centre bit to them where it's bitten me and then other red bits coming off them and other red bits near it with no centre. hmm.

no!
it looks like a normal bite.
i.e. a red raised bit with a small centre where the skin has been pierced.
it's not as red anymore thankfully but still quite red. :crying:
Im off to the doctors on Thursday so hopefully they will tell me what it is. I have been getting them off and on for about 2/3 months, but they are worse at the moment, and they are all over my tummy
I feel your pain Lucy, I really do!
mine have gone down in redness but they're still quite visible and a bit scabby (niiiice!). hard to explain but you can see little red veins around them where they've sucked the blood.
gross. :yuck: :sour:
Have you been to the docs yet?
we can be two sexy ladies! some day soon it will be trendy to be bitten and spotty
yeh i showed her last time i was there (13th nov) and she just said to use some camomile stuff on it.
mine aren't spotty, sorry.
least yours aren't on your booby.
have you googled some images of bites to see if any are similar to yours??
you must have tasty boobies
however, he did say that in only 10% of cases did people find out what's causing it.
