Well, she has been going to the doctor about this for several weeks, because she was getting these welts. She originally thought it was spider bites (these are big welts) and I think she had one or two when we went to New Orleans but I don't remember when it started. I just know that the first time she went to the doctor she said, "I think I have all of these bug bites" and the doctor said no, it was just an allergic reaction to something. So she gave her a bunch of creams and told her to take Benadryl and Claritin and everything. And the creams helped the first welts to go away but she just keeps getting more, which shouldn't really happen if she's using all of the creams/medicines.
We haven't changed /anything/ that contacts skin - shampoo, soap, toothpaste, laundry stuff, sheets/blankets, clothing. Nothing.
I have some small bug bites also (not big welts like Jen, and not in the same amounts, but perhaps I am just not allergic?) that I had written off as like mosquito bites or whatever but now I am nervous.
