I have been getting new itchy red bumps on my legs for a week now everyday. Whenever I sit on my chair in my bedroom, I can feel constant spots of tingling and crawling sensation all over my legs and sometimes above my waist. Feels like there are millions of bugs crawling up from the carpet. But I cannot see them whenever I look at my legs or look at the carpet. Any tips on how to get rid of this?
I tried vacuuming constantly and fogged my room three times with little help.
if it is big enough to bite it is big enough to see…could be a range of a skin irritation to new medication to dry winter air causing the itchiness and whelps and after scratching them will look exactly like insect bites…place glue boards under the chair and see if anything is caught then you can go from there. Spraying an insecticide without knowing what you spraying for is a bad idea especially if it is your body having a reaction to some sort of chemical imbalance to begin with.
Sounds like you might be allergic to something.
May be the soap you wash the clothes in.
Rinsing your clothes 2 times can help with that.
Mites can be seen.
You might be allergic to a cream you are using.
Or the material in the chair.
If you cant see them and its constant itching then it is mites. you will have to go to the doctor and he will perscribe a cream to remove the mites from your skin then you will have to scrub, wash, clean every inch of your house because mites spread and get way worse. Anyone you hang out with or go to their house could have gave you the mites or vica versa but your doctor will tell you all of this when you see him.
Put in a new vacuum bag. Wipe down everything in your room. Gather up loose items and place in containers, such as plastic bins *no cardboard. Try putting salt down on the carpet and then vacuum. Salt bothers alot of pests, this might help.
A friend and I salted her carpets, she had alot of fleas, we were not prepared to vacuum and the fleas went wild jumping all over our legs. So do an area and vacuum alot, and then do another area instead of the entire room like we did. Hope this helps a little. Old vacuum bags spread stuff around, so its important to use new ones and not stuffed ones ok.
Dust mites are most likely the issue. You are most likely very sensitve to them. Getting the whole house dusted really good and keeping it mess free can help.
