In the past, yes, but not this year. This started in July.

Is she maybe allergic to an environmental she runs into intermittently?

11/26/24 6:06am

New fabric softener or laundry detergent?

Nope.

Has she been taking Ivermectin?

11/26/24 6:14am

Do you have pets with fur?

We've had a cat for 5 years. She's never had pet allergies before.

Not saying it’s pets, but allergies can change over time

She's never had chicken pox and has been vaccinated for it.

Typically much larger than tiny bug bites and 8-10 on pain scale

Go see the doctor. Skin lesions are super hard to diagnose without seeing and

She'll be seeing a dermatologist after we get back from Thanksgiving.

How many “bites” and how long do they stay swollen and itchy?

11/26/24 6:53am

Two to five at any given time. Often in different areas and not clustered.

bed bugs

Yeah I’d start here for sure sounds like bed bugs

canuckchuck

11/26/24 7:05am

Really sounds like bed bugs to me, especially if the bites are in groups of 3

Me too- and bed bugs can bite under clothing as well. Is the bite swollen hard

11/26/24 7:11am

They don't get hard, just swollen and itchy.

Baraeus

11/26/24 7:20am

Could be urticaria; welts can be allergic reaction to something or even stress

11/26/24 7:07am

Yes but they usually don’t have a “bite” mark and are short lasting. I asked

11/26/24 7:10am

Has she been close to any Utes or Sun Devils?

WallaX2

11/26/24 7:21am

Could be allergic reaction, my son had papular urticaria….we thought it was bed

Up to 30% of people do not react to bed bugs so even if you are not getting bit
