Have you ever been bitten by a bug that you can't see? I have been fighting with these (I swear) invisible bugs biting me, it's driving me crazy. Finally today my hubby had me go to Urgent Care because one of the bites made my hand swell up.
The Dr. said it looks like spider bites, and the one looks infected, he put me on antibiotics. How do you fight a bug you can't find? We have searched the house from top to bottem, sprayed the house twice, yet once a week I seem to get bit, but my husband doesn't?
Calling the exterminator tomorrow, before I lose my mind.
Have you ever run into something like this? What did you do?

I had an allergic reaction on my stomach a few months ago. They said it's just probably hives. I hope the exterminator will find this bug! And hope you get better too!

@lilnana1111 Oh - I just remembered a spider bite my little toe. I went to my work little doctor facility on campus and the doctor gave me some ointment. But it went away a week later - no idea what spider though.
