Strange bites or stings

[Gene Hunt]

Woke up last Saturday morning and noticed some itchy spots on my shins and calfs, during the day the spots got bigger and intensely itchy I'd been out walking on Friday, wearing shorts so assumed I'd been bit outdoors. Sunday morning, I've got double the spots on my legs, and now they're on my arms & back too. I had fleas in the house a few years ago, when I 'owed' cats, but those bites I got then were just around the ankles. Anyway Wednesday gone & I've got spots all over my body, no one else in the house has them, I've teared the house apart looking for bugs, washed all bedding and applicable soft furnishings. Now all the spots are about the size of a 2p coin and dark purple, not itchy though. Don't think I got any new ones yesterday, reminds me of mosquito bites I get on holiday. This possible in the UK?

I was clearing out my garage the other day and had loads of bites round my ankles and all the way up my legs, similar description to yours, they didn’t show until the morning after. I was wearing socks and trousers as well which shows the little bastards can get wherever they want. I must’ve disturbed them and they weren’t happy about it.

Sounds like a Carnivorous Botfly has deposited its eggs

What, there's a fly that eats people's arses?

Why did you owe cats?

Hoyed a load of fleas through his letterbox when he failed to pay for his stash.

Most drug dealers burn your house down or murder your family, not cat’s the sly little twats.

I once got stung by a bee at 2am by my computer desk. Was on here while also playing CSGO (ooo look at me I've got two screens) and I went to stretch and felt like a sharp prick on my foot. Yelled out and said
"tf I think I've got stung by a bee"
Dad told me to piss off I've obviously stood on a pin
Next day I was clearing up by my desk
And I found a dead bee
Still no idea how it got in my room

Sounds like text book guinea worm to me.

WTF was a bee doing out so late??

Might be helpful (or at least interesting) if you posted some photos while you're still alive.

Have you been to see a pharmacist, or your GP yet? I’m wondering what caused the bites.
And hope you have sorted it….obviously!

Obviously BEEn clubbing

Scabies

Tends to be in the warm areas mainly. Between fingers and you can see tracking burrowing if you look closely
Without pics, chicken pox? Folliclitis ?

The only explanation I have is it flew in the day time and got lost/tired and was just under my desk crawling around. Till it saw a massive foot come towards it

Yep - a Buttockfly.

 

[Tuono]

Yep - a Buttockfly.

Not a cockchaffer?
