Biting: Rather than considering bugs that are causing your problem think about hives as a possible cause. Hives may be caused by the warmth while you are sleeping. Try taking Benadryl (diphenhydramine) before bedtime to see your response. You can also try sleeping in a cooler room if Benadryl (diphenhydramine) doesnt work.

It would likely take: More than medication to rid your home of scabies or bed bugs. If not eradicated in the home- the bugs will keep coming back. T requires effort to get rid of scabies. 1st, you ; all members of your household need to be treated. Ivermectin is an effective medication for treating scabies. 2nd, clean (ie. Hot water in machine) clothes, bedding ; towels you've come in contact w). There may be things.
