Stings at night? I dont get it!?!


Question: Stings at night!? I dont get it!!?
I think there is something living in my couch! I know it's not bed bugs, mosquitos, fleas or spiders!. ( not to say one of these might be there, just that this is not what keeps getting me and my daughter) I have experienced bites from these things before and its not the same!.
My 2 yr old and I are the only ones out of a household of 6 that has ever had a problem with the couch!. The bites seem more like stings than anything else they itch, but more than anything they burn and sting!. We only get them if we are on the couch at night and only when we are sleeping!. The area turns red and the bite/sting turns white, I felt very sick to my stomach at first but that has subsided!. The swelling, redness, burning and stinging goes away after a few hours then it just feels like an old mosquito bite!. has anyone ever heard of anything like this!?
I have been spraying a residual bug spray that seems to work on olmost everything, but either its not IN the couch or it is not affected by the spray!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Okay!. To be sure I have everything straight:
- you and your baby are being bitten
- you cannot see the bugs/insects/whatever that's biting you
- they're in your couch
- the bites itch, sting, and burn
- you know they aren't bed bugs, mosquitos, fleas, or spiders
- active only at night
So the culprit is something that bites, is active at night, and is very small!.
Doing some searches, my best guess would be mites!. Mites can be found in pretty much any climate, they're very small, the bites itch or burn depending on the type of mite!. Mites would also explain why your husband doesn't have a problem when he sleeps on the couch: he is almost certainly being bitten as well but he doesn't have a reaction to the bite!. Some people are senstive to mites/mite allergies!. It's actually fairly common with a mite problem for only one or two people to be affected by it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
