Or like this?

I have no idea what bit me in bed, while I was in PEI. But 2 other people at work had gottenbitten aswell, except 1 ended up in the hospital & the other is just feeling ill. I felt fine.

Ew..King.. that bite with the circle looks scary. That looked exactly like a friend's bite and he got Lymes Disease. Hope everybody is less itchy.....*Shiver*

Lymes Disease!!

Maybe thats why my friends at work have become so ill..
eeeee.. its been over a month since the bite & I still have a little mark.. I think I'll stop by the clinic next week to see about blood tests, & I'll tell my friends too.

However I have no idea what Lymes Disease is, but I know it kills cats. So I don't think its a good thing

Lyme Disease caused by bites from deer ticks. The symptoms of Lyme Disease are achiness in the joints, fever, fatigue, flu-like symptoms and a bite mark with a red circle around it.

Ack, this gave me the creepies just reading it. Hopefully you find the cause and get rid of it soon!

Could it just be heat rash, or do you think it's actual bug bites?

ok, guess I don't have Lymes Disease, never became ill. But I'm gonna tell my friend at work that hasn't gone to the hospital yet.

But if it was a tick, wouldn't I have seen it?? I got the bite at night & nothing was there in the morning. My male friend was bitten at night too & saw nothing the next morning...

Evil creepy bugs

Donna, yes, those look just like what I got.

Here's two of the bites I had when they first appeared.

Ankle bite

Abdomen bite

King2005, your bite looks like what I would get from some spiders, so it could be that.

Definitely get it checked out though.

My bites have begun to heal and no longer itch. The pets seem to be fine, so I'm guessing that no chiggers are living indoors with us.

Some friends suggested Lavender oil or lotion to keep insects from nibbling on you at night. I've been doing that, so it's either helping or there are no critters inside.
