can u send pictures of allergic reactions to wool? i been thinking bed bugs and dust mites but no signs of either?

Accepted Answer

Contact allergy: Bed bugs tend to cause red raised bumps that show up in clusters and even straight lines.  Dust mites do not bite.  A contact dermatitis is a reaction to something your skin comes into contact with like soap, laundry detergent or even wool. This type of rash is widespread and not as raised but also red.  All of these rashes are itchy but the treatment varies.  Avoiding the cause is step one.

i asked awhile ago about bites because i thought bedbugs..well there always in same place. look like hives maybe.difference between hives , and bites?

Accepted Answer

Persistence: Hives generally appear in a location and disappear from that location within a day if only to pop up in another place. They generally do not recur in the exact position previously seen (if a focal area of skin is involved). Bites can recur in an area of skin due to exposure for the insect, but often not in the exact location.  Rash due to bites typically persists for &gt;24hrs. Hope this helps.
