anything... what the heck is that?!?!?
I'm not seeing bite MARKS, but for the past week or so, I feel things biting me or just the slightest brush of something ON me. Like, crawling.
It reminds me of fleas. And I have dogs, so heaven knows, it could be. But I'm not seeing fleas, and again, no bites. Also, I feel it at work, AND at home.
Could it be allergy related? I take a 12 hour antihistamine, but still feel this sensation.

omg that's me! Two weeks ago my poor DD caught head lice at camp. <shudder> I've been there done that with the older daughter, I know the routine, I did the shampoo/comb/sanitize wash thing and she's all good now. Except, I can't shake the feeling of them all.over.me. My scalp is crawling now as I type this. IDK if that's your problem but its driving me nuts. I've had DH and my sister in law both check me several times because I'm convinced I caught them but nothing. I'm find and it's all in my head. IDK if yours is the same thing (in your head) or not but I thought I'd share.  |

Mine is pretty equal-opportunity all over, including my scalp. The past hour it has been my shins and calves. *SHIVER* at the thought of lice!

Sometimes ticks are too tiny to be seen.
This thread is making me itch!

Where do you live? A couple of weeks ago my family & I were at the beach. My husband and I set up our chairs closer to the dunes. I felt like something was biting me the entire time. It wasn't until we talked to other people next to us that we discovered it was sand fleas. You could barely see them. You may have no-see-ums in your area. In the south we get them during the summer and their a huge nuisance as well.

I have read that this also can be a symptom of perimenopause.

that was me yesterday when I was watering my plants outside. I kept slapping my arms and legs like I was getting bitten but nothing was on me. and yet, i felt nothing last week when all the mosquitoes went to town on my legs and i didn't notice until i saw the red welts.

Ok, so if I'm reading this right I need to cut back on the meth, or blame it on perimenopause? Decisions, decisions.

Have you started using any new products, cleaning supplies, soap, laundry detergent, moisturizer, etc. Anything stressing you out lately?
I have dry skin, when I'm rushing around and forget to apply lotion I feel like that.

That was a big reactor when I took that allergy test a few years ago. |

I started taking TripleFlex for my knees almost 2 years ago. I always feel like something is crawling on me. Doesn't matter if I'm in the South or North, inside, outside or what I eat. I believe I have a bit of an allergy to it but it helps my knees so much that I put up with it. It does drive me crazy though and some days seem to be worse than others.

I was down the shore Saturday. Never felt anything bite. By night I had patches of welts on both calves. As of now they have only faded a little bit.

I get this ALL THE TIME, usually when I'm laying down to go to sleep the sensation is on my arm or leg. I thought I was just neurotic, but I may try to cut back on the meth and see if that helps.

It happens to me all the time and now that I've seen all these answers I can't decide what my problem is. So basically I know I'm not alone in this problem but I still don't know what is causing it.

LOL!
