Why am I getting bitten all the time?

[mrsflux]

I never ever used to get insect bites. Well maybe 1 or2 all summer. Now I'm covered all over my legs and feet! The are so itchy. I'm taking anti histamine to stop the itch but why am I so damn tasty all of a sudden?

is it because I had ds a year ago a d that messes with hormones and so maybe your attractiveness to bugs?

Have you got a cat/dog? Its flea season.

No animals in our house. Seems to be worst when I've been in our garden- could the fleas be lurking there? They don't go for ds luckily!

I don't think you would have fleas in your garden. If its a new house though and previous owners had animals they could be in the carpets and waking up now afetr winter. My brother had this afte they moved house, took them months to get rid of the fleas.

It just seems a funny time of year to be getting insect bites. Only times I've had insect bites is in the summer when there have been noticable clouds of midges buzzing about.

I get lots of midge bites
they seem to sneak in the back door when its open and get me in the evening, little buggers.

I was in a very insect-y country with a female friend for 8 weeks. We found that we got bitten at different times- but at the same point in our cycle. So I reckon it's hormonal.
