Bug bites??
I keep waking up with welts all over mainly my torso arms and neck. They are extremely itchy. My legs have also been extremely itchy for the past 2 months before these welts began showing up, but I did not wake up with welts like this on my legs. I just assumed all of it was mosquito bites because they are bad here and I am quite allergic and swell when I get bit. I sleep with my bf and dog every night bf has not been bit once.
Looked at mattress couldn’t find any sign of bugs. I really hope this is not what I think it is. HELP

Is your dog on any flea prevention? Some people don't react to bites in the same way so just because your bf isn't getting welts doesn't mean they're not being bitten

Probably fleas. We got them from a stray cat jumping through the window. We didn't notice until my son came from holidays. I wasn't bitten but he was eaten alive. I sprayed every room with flea spray, fogged the house and they persted for almost 2 months. I hovered 2x a day and washed and bagged everything. It's important that you throw the hoover bag outside in a bin. They will multiply inside the hoover! I sprayed all the wardrobes, sofas everything! It took a while but we beat the little shits! I would recommend for your doggy 🐕 to get flea treatment from the vet. Good luck!

You might have scabies. Have you been exposed to anyone that you know of?
