Look for: Suggest you change the detergent you use for washing your bed items sheets etc etc.. Any recent insect extermination ( the sprays are sometimes allergens)??? Finally have you both been exposed to outside allergens (eg Poison ivy, oak or the SMOKE from buring such weeds) Just a few "thoughts" hope they "help" Dr Z

Unlikely: However, if you have been working in the yard, then poison oak could be the cause.
