Question 1

I got 6 straight line of bug bites. i'm not sure what kind of bug is it. it looks like a pimple and painful when i touch it. ?

Accepted Answer

Bed bugs attack in a linear line. I'll bet you notice them after sleeping.  Check your bed sheets for small black insects and possibly blood stains.  The blood stains represent squished bugs that you rolled over on or spots of blood from your skin due to bed bug bites.

Question 2

I have 6 straight line bug bites on my left leg. i'm not sure what kind of bug is that. it looks a pimple and too painful when i touch it. ?

Accepted Answer

Bed bugs strike in linear streaks and cause a lot of itching.  It is usually not painful.  Spider bites could cause more pain but usually they don't cause that many bites in a row.  I'm betting on bed bugs and recommend you check you bed for small black insects.  You may see blood marks on your sheets too where the bugs were squashed as you slept.  If anyone shared your bed they may have it too.

Question 3

I need a straight answer. what is allergic reaction to insect bites?

Accepted Answer

If you get stung or bitten by an insect, and you are allergic to the insect's venom or saliva, you develop an allergic reaction to the sting or bite. Usually it's just itching, redness, and swelling around the bite, but in rare cases it can evolve into anaphylactic shock which is life-threatening. Antihistamines may help mild cases, but if you have trouble breathing or other symptoms see a doctor.

Question 4

I've been getting small bug bites that are red but don't itch, hurt, create a bump & go away the next day. could they be by fleas or seasonal bugs?

Accepted Answer

Bug bites often cause itching. You should get your doctor to look at the rash.
