Flea sensitivity: You may have a higher level of sensitivity compared with others in the house. Step one may be to have any pets in the home checked. Work exposure is possible too, depends on where you work. Is itchiness worse at work? Could also be other types of insects (from walking in grass for example). Consider keeping a log of daily symptoms and possible exposure situations. Can also try using repellent

Hard to say: Recent studies have shown that some people are more genetically predisposed to get insect bites (mosquito was used in the experiment). You could have been bitten while walking in a field /after petting someone's pet or these lesions may not be bites at all.
