Invisible bugs in bed and blankets or is it a internal/skin problem?

[Anonymous]

So for a few weeks now I thought there have been fleas in my bed because Id feel jumping at night time and then an occasional sharp pain like I got bitten. well last night it got really bad and I wasn't able to sleep at all. It just felt like whatever it was had babies and they were everywhere. Tonight is the same issue no matter where I go and try to sleep. I feel crawling and then a sharp pain like I got bit and will start itching my skin or a post on my head. I was researching it online and some people say it is bugs and some say it is a skin problem. If it was a skin problem then wouldn't I feel like that all day long and not just at night when I am trying to sleep? Plus I am 20 so why would I just now be feeling it?

Its not fleas. I have sprayed and used a powder and nothing is working. I really want to sleep but I just can't. Has anyone had this problem before? Please help!

If this is ONLY happening at night then you must have some pest...I am not good enough to identify though...it is ironic to me that people get weirded out by spiders...both medium or large...but the spiders that bite (at least in my area) are those little tiny spiders that we see up on our ceilings...the bigger spiders do not bother us and eat the bugs...(:(:(:

Okay! Thank you! :D and I don't mind spiders.. as long as I can still see them and don't run into their web! ha ha :D Otherwise I tend to freak out!

Listen their not really invisible.

Your mattress may be infected how old is it? If it is a really old mattress then look into buying a new one.

Tonight sleep on the couch in the morning get your mattress and seriously clean it. Throw the sheets away and get new ones. Check around your bed and carpet and clean that as well.

I don't think it is just my bed though :( :( :( I washed my bed covers and sprayed flee spray and pwder on my bed and floor... then I tried sleeping on the couch, my sisters room and then even the floor but it feels like they are everywhere. I've changed my clothes, covers, everything. :(

Well here's some potentially good news because it will answer your question:

Your either batsh*t crazy and have entomophobia

Or

You have a former rash/skin condition that needs to be address by a dermatologist. Put some lotion on for now

Could be scabies. They're microscopic bugs that live under the skin and are a lot more active at night. Chances are they've infected your bed and your skin (if you have itchy bites in groups on your skin, it's likely to be them). To get rid of them, try rubbing tea tree oil on the places your have bites, and washing all your sheets in tea tree oil too.

It actually could be this thing called restless leg syndrome. Basically your legs feel like bugs are crawling and tingling and bit your legs every time you try to rest aka sleep. I would go to your doctor to discuss it further.

I had the same thing, did not know it could be a skin issue. I thought it might be fleas or bed bugs, but I never saw anything, I even had my parents look. I changed all the sheets and pillowcases and stuff on my bed. It has been a lot better since then, it has popped up from time to time, but no where near as bad.

OH ! I'm sorry! Its awful huh! My mom asked me tonight what was wrong and I said, " You can't feel them?!?!"

I have a bunk bed and my brother had no problem like I had, so I really do not know what it was. Try doing what I did and see if it helps.

Try this, shower and sleep in a room as far away as possible from where you have gone when feeling bites.

[Asker]

Okay! I'll try this! THank you!

Our cats started bringing in sand (which had sand fleas) and we had to raid the couches for a bit, very strong jumpers, but yeah my as far away as possible I meanif you have gone to a couch already after sleeping in your bed go shower and stay away from those areas.

Do you know what acarians are? Every matress has those. They eat your skin.

Some are allergic to them.

Buy a new matress or a vacuum cleaner for those little monsters.

Try washing your bedding (ALL of it) on the hottest setting you can. Hope this helps!

Did you figure out what it was?
