Likely Spider: Try sleeping with long pj pants, or under mosquito net. If due to mosquitos, Skin So Soft sometimes helps and is not toxic. Check windows, doors for gaps where spiders/bugs are coming in. If bite starts to get red, consult with us as these can get infected & need antibiotics.

Fleas: Where are you when you get bit. It could be fleas or possibly bed bugs. If you are in your bed when this occurs try washing your bed clothes and treating your room for insects. Not everyone is allergic to fleas but if you are they could cause the symptoms you are describing.
