Stick a fork in me...

Sorry in advance if this is TMI. Maybe it's my paranoia talking...y'know, depression-related rumination...but I'm convinced those little "bitey things" I mentioned a post or 2 ago are more than just mosquitoes or gnats

Thanks! I dunno about sexual contact & Zika, but I know skin-to-skin generally applies to scabies, though it's mostly prolonged contact. We have mosquitoes & gnats, too (I guess most places in our part of the country do), but I dunno if this is the same or not. I'm between bedbugs & some kind of mite (such as scabies - or worse, the more severe Norwegian scabies!).

Haven't tried calamine, it's more the idea that I keep getting bites (or feeling itches/pinpricks) even when I see no bugs anywhere. They don't itch tremendously, just enough to be annoying. At the beginning, the stuff I was getting itched way worse. You're right, I think, that different bugs have different bites - I know which bites on me are mosquitoes. But not so much the other bites & bumps. I'm just scared it's something I'm gonna pass on to somebody, like my mom.

Yikes! Scary story about the spider! (Web-weavers around here do that, too, go across things & you're forced to walk through them.) Can't blame you for freaking out!

Sorry your browser is being a douchebag, lol. Thanks for commenting. :) And thanks for the encouragement. Hoping it's just my scaredy-cat brain doing its thing!
