Last Sun, I posted that I had gotten bitten during the night about 20 times and that I thought that I had one hungry mosquito in my bed. Monday I still was itching and miserable so I went to see my allergist. He said that they were definitely bites, he didn't know what kind and gave me a prescription for 5% cortisone and told me to take Benadryl.
Monday am I also realized that I had put on a new bedset, so I thought that I would take it off anyway.
Tues., the exterminator came and I asked him if he could spray for spiders. I told him about the bites and he said that wasn't a spider. He asked me whether the bites were around my pelvis area and my breasts. Yup. Did the guys in my house get bitten? Nope. He told me that rat mites were the culprit and they only bit women. I figured Butzie got too close to a rat and brought the mites in.
I felt much better by Wed. Thurs. I put the comforter back on the bed. Before I fell asleep, I started to itch again. Sure enough there were 6 new bites on that tuckus again. I took that comforter off, and all the sheets, too.
Fri., I went to the store that sold me the set. They were really nice and managed to have a new set delivered to me at no charge.
So, I am waiting for the new set. This one could not possibly have mites, right? I mean, what are the chances?
