Can you buy anti histemine over the counter in USA? That will definitely help for any kind of bug bite.

Well, after this post yesterday I put on a pair of socks, sweat pants and a hoodie and slept in them....I don't have any new "markings" today. Thats good news I guess. I'll be moving into my apartment tomorrow night and I'll see if anything new pops up there...if nothing happens then I'm gonna assume bug bites of some sort but if they don't start to fade by Monday I'm gonna go to the doctors for sure. Thanks for all the tips and ideas guys!

Your bite wounds appear to be consistant with a Mosquito bite the ichiness is the poison they inject as they suck out the blood hence the ichiness low amounts not enough to kill a human being ..but enough to for the immune system to react to counter the foreign agent in your body. I would suggest an Antihistamine called Cetirizine and maybe wipe a little Antiseptic Cream onto the effected areas ; if you experience nausea , a fever , and headaches consult a general practitioner to be prescribed a regime of medication.
Each G.P will be different in their findings but im picking they will prescribe an antibiotic and possibly ibuprofen (worst case scenario).

Well...I finally got moved into my new place today. The first thing I did was throw anything that I took to that house in the wash. I think I may have found the culprit of my mystery marks (I could be wrong)....My blanket was the very first thing that went into the wash machince and as I spreading it out to go in the washer evenly I happened to see this laying there. It was already dead and it's about an inch in size. I'm sick to my stomach right now just thinking that I've been sharing a bed with this THING for the last few days....Anyone have any clue what this is?? I've never seen anything like it!

Its a longshot but it could be a springtail : Springtail Springtails are very small pale brown to cream colored insects that seem to hop and disappear when disturbed. Springtails are commonly found in moist or damp places, usually in contact with soil. Homeowners encounter them in damp basements and on the surface of the soil of household plants. The moist, organic soil of house plants provides them the proper environment to live and increase in numbers. Plants that are over-watered during the fall and winter can support a large population of springtails in the potting soil. Allthough the colouration has changed this could be consistant with the fact that its dead and is beginning to decay : apparently they dont sting or bite humans that is ..if this is the correct one. Either way thats a nasty looking brute you have there

That is revolting Satansmuff. I'd be glad to get out of there too. I've no idea what it is.

I have had a couple of bites like that last year on my leg.. Never did find the culprit. I remember it itching like crazy and swelling up when I scratched it. I tried every tropical bite stuff I could find. Actually, even tried Hydrogen Peroxide on it also because it felt like it was infected and warm. That helped it from itching. The strange thing about it was that it would stop for awhile and then start over. Somebody told me that it must be something that put eggs there and that really crossed me out. I scratched the little bite area so it would open and just dumped the Peroxide on it. Eventually it got better but I remember having it for at least a month.

Satansmuff...I just read all the posts to this thread and saw all your photos...OMG is all I have to say! I am very susceptible to swelling up to both spider bites and mosquitos and the photos you posted look very similar to the spider bites I get. I think it also depends on the species of spider as to how bad the swelling/itching is. I am sure glad to hear you are out of that dwelling which sounded awful...and do hope the bites stop now! That bug you posted looks nasty...and doesn't look like the typical bed bug photos I've ever seen. Attaching a couple photos..one of a bed bug and one of what the bites look like.

No, but the first couple I got are completely gone now...well minus a little scab from where I was scratching too much. I still got about 5 on me but they are getting smaller everyday and the itching has stopped. I still want the know just what the hell that is a picture of...no one seems to know!

It would drive me nuts if I didn't know what was biting me.Did you save the one that you saw??I'd be playing csi on his azz.You never know if they could have layed eggs or left something else behind.I think I'd do the doc thing to be on the safe side.
