: Hello There--I pray that you do not have bird mites!!! Are your bugs white? The ones that you see may not be the ones that are biting you. I am stricken with bird mites--crawling and stinging pricks --my comp. will not cooperate-READ Tim's posts on this--I will try again later-pamela

: : Hello,
: : I have posted my recent plight with invisible bugs
: : that at the time were biting me only at night. It started suddenly and has not changed with exception of
: : now happening during the day as well.
: : I dont know if you have ever picked up produce in the
: : grocery store and several very small flys would go into the air.. well I have seen three of these things
: : flying in the air in the past twenty four hours, all in the bedroom. Tonite just before trying to turn in, I noted one of them on my computer keyboard.. I was determined to catch the critter.. When I tried to
: : get him, he hopped.. he didnt walk, he or she,, lol,
: : hopped, it was like it hopped the same distance with each little hop. I finally pinned it down and it was a very tiny bug almost the size of a gnat... Couldnt tell much else about him after my capture.
: : Do you know of any bugs or flys that meet this description that bite???? I have viewed pictures of fruit flies and they dont look anything like this bug.
: : It surely isnt lice, as I have seen lice in my career as a Nurse. This thing is driving me NUTS. I have ordered a vinyl protector for my mattress, none of the local stores had them in a king size. I have to buy two twins for the box spring and the vinyl pillow covers.
: : I do tend to have very sensitive skin and wonder if I am having a atyical reaction to the bite, ie allergic in nature. The worst of it is the crawling sensation and the itch.. well the worst may be wondering what the heck has invaded my space.
: : Sincerely,
: : Bev Smith

are your bites small and white and barely raised?
