Over the last couple of weeks we've started noticing small bites on us, here and there, and on our ds (10mo). We have two cats, who get frontlined regularly but they do go out into a big overgrown garden so they could be bringing something in. We have tiled floors which we vacuum and mop regularly and one rug in the middle of the sitting room where ds often lies (he often has these bites after lying on it, on his back or on the back of his arms).
Last night I got bitten for the first time while sitting on the sofa.. they do not look like flea bites which we've had once (well, our cats, not us) years ago, and which are much smaller, very itchy and closer together. They are not mosquito bites which are more raised and itchy.
These are more painful than itchy, they are small with a red inflamed area around them and after a while (in my case overnight) a small white/yellow head (size of a pinprick) comes out on them.
Dh had 3 on his arm last night, going from wrist to upper arm about 6 inches apart.
WHAT THE HELL IS IT???? We cannot figure out how to get rid of it if we don't know what it is. It's mostly annoying for us but I hate the idea of ds being bitten. They are sore to the touch but not on their own. We do have ants occasionally, could it be ants?
Any ideas?
