We have fleas in the house because of that cats, and fleas are at their worest at this time of the year. You also will need to find the source otherwise you will get them back, so you may need to bomb all rooms. You canusually see them on the carpet. robbyp (2751)
633955 2008-01-27 11:08:00 Apparently i tried changing matresses but that didnt help

so..I bought a can of fly spray and I spray lightly around the carpet and under the matress

That did some help.Not getting any bites.I'll go to the doctor tommorow to see what it is..

So many red bites on my feet...So itchy....Anyone got any cream?

633956 2008-01-27 11:14:00 Fly Spray will work if it is bed bugs or fleas and you are not allergic to it. zqwerty (97)
633957 2008-01-27 11:18:00 I read about beg bugs online and saw a few pictures but I don't see any around or under my matress.My bed is pretty clean ...Maybe fleas are harder to see and I cant see them? Ninjabear (2948)
633958 2008-01-27 11:29:00 Maybe you have heat rash, this is a fairly common complaint and manifests as spots, (small raised nodules/bumps) they are very itchy and you feel like scratching them all the time, around ankles and on the soles of feet, especially instep.

Try calamine lotion or at a pinch Savlon Antiseptic Cream, go see your Doctor or a Chemist tomorrow. Try putting a cold, soaked in water flannel/cloth around the affected area.

If you have an Aloe Vera plant that may help to ease the stinging.

633959 2008-01-27 12:39:00 I would be a bit concerned that you are only being munched on at night. Being a hostel, I would check the bedding, bed frame, and crevices in the room (eg skirting boards) for a wee insect called a bed bug (en.wikipedia.org). They only come out at night, although you should really have bites on other parts of your body as well.

If you do manage to find a bed bug, let the hostel management know because they may have to fumigate other rooms.

Other than that, get a flea bomb can from the supermarket and set it off in your room when you are out. Don't forget to warn your room neighbours of this first.

Oh.

Bed bugs are real??:stare: Parents weren't lying about bed bugs biting??
