I am getting eaten alive!

U 2 need to take your bed apart then and find their nest. For real, that many bites on one person is indicative of a nesting area. Spiders don't like to travel far either.

Did that already. Moved all the furniture away from the walls, ran the shop vac and sprayed Ortho all over the place - still got tagged three more times.

I wonder if I need to call in the professionals and have the place bombed. It might sound silly or childish but these things are killing me!

Re: Re

Haven't a clue, ruled out black wodow and brown recluse - no deep joint pain, nausea or feeling faint.

Also ruled out ticks, fleas, mosquitos and fire ants.

Might be in the mattress then.... Did you guys look it over?

No, guess that will have to be the next plan of attack - but with the number of bites on my I can't understand why Kneepads hasn't gotten hit even once. Don't get me wrong - I would rather get hit than have he or the kiddo get one - they are pretty nasty, swell up and itch like crazy. Not to mention the gross junk leaking out of the ones on my calf.

I used to get lots of spider bites and it turns out they were in my mattress. once I got rid of that mattress (via a move to college) then I never had the problem again - well, until I visted my dad again and slept on that fucking mattress.
it wasn't bed bugs, mosquitoes or anything else, def spiders and my dad never did anything about it b/c he said the spiders got rid of the other bugs. fuck that, they bit me the fuckers.

and the stuff oozing out of your leg isn't anything foreign, it is just that the stuff they shoot in there causes inflammation and if I recall correctly your immune system doesn't know what to do and attacks the skin there and so you have a little war going on and the stuff running out is the waste from the war. mostly blood plasma and some white blood cells if 1) I'm remembering it correctly, and 2) the article I read it in was correct in the first place
