What the hell is this?

[Scratchnoitch]

I constantly have scratch marks on my upper back/ neck. They’re deep enough that they last a few days at a time and you can see and feel them.

But, the thing is, I definitely don’t scratch my neck during waking hours or remember ever being itchy there. Why would I be scratching to the point of breaking the skin ONLY in my sleep and also not remembering it? It’s a mystery….any suggestions?

Bed bugs?

nickel in a necklace?

Bison?

@CuriousCatfish 😂🤣🤣🤣

How the hell would the op not notice a Bison in her bed?

Wouldn't she hear it snoring??

No bed bugs, no necklace, no Bison

Label in your clothes?

Try washing your hands in a buffalo.

Disappointed its not a bison

Do you have a feather pillow? Sometimes when the pillows get old, the feather shafts poke through and scratch you.

Wear a polo neck to bed

Enthusiastic husband?

I sleep in just pants, no label

Bison theory is a dead end. There’s no tell-tale fur remnants that would occur with a night bison

No husband. Don’t think I have feather pillows. Will double check

Mmm if it's not Bison, then I would suggest alien abduction. I'm pretty certain there was a thread about this not so long ago. About Bison in bed causing nocturnal scratches, not about alien abductions.

Cotton gloves?

Do you have a cat? Mine likes to knaw on my hair

Poltergeist?

If it's not a bison, could it be a giant squid?! 😆

Any pics of your scratches?

Also going to say Poltergeist, that is their calling card.

@CherryRipe1 strangely enough it’s not something I take photos of….and why do you want to see photos of scratches?!

I’d hope a poltergeist would do something better than lightly scratch my neck when I’m asleep. Something more exciting perhaps.

no squid as no wet patches.

It might graduate to flinging books off shelves and growling in your ear, give it time.

Well it's just that if you're asking for help identifying the origin of the scratches, a photo might be helpful OP.

Cute bison.

Koala? They have impressive claws and like hugging things.

I don't think a bison would leave scratch marks. They have hooves, don't they? Surely that would leave a bruise rather than a scratch?
