A member asked:

How can i tell if my itchy bumps are spider bites and what can i do to prevent spider bites?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely : Itchy bumps are rarely spider bites which are usually painful. Most likely some other contact allergy. Can call any pest control company for information on reducing spider bite chances.
