Farma Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 If you've been near a beach around dawn or dusk it could be sandflies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bina Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 that is a great great website for bugs.... it should be pinned somewhere in the petvet section actually.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusG Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Could also be an allergy to something in the air.Before I came to Thailand I never had any problems with anything although my brother did (had allergies to everything).When I first came I'd get something like very sharp and quick insect bite as if someone gave me a prick with a very sharp needle.I'd give it rub or a scratch and the area would come up in red rash. It still happens occasionally and I take a anti-histamine for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motoyen Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I seem to be attacked by the same bug. 9 bites in the last two days I can't find a single mosquito in my place. I checked all my screens and they're all tight. The bites are causing the area to swell up as well. Is it some crazy Thai invisible mosquito?

deejah Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 well i know for one there is a little brownish greenish redish (not sure a thai pointed one out on the bed once) bug very hard to see and it bites this could be the cultprit i supect there are more i would love to get them under control but i dont know how one thai told me there are bugs that come out and bite after the rain gus do the antihistamines help? cause that sounds a lot like what i experieced i doubt its airborne pollution i suspect a small insect however an antihistamine might help the allergic reaction most antihistamines can make one drowsey i know when i scratch it it can turn into a nasty rash with red spots maybe even if i dont i think the ants often bite not once but a few times leaving a number of welts that last for days mosquitos seem tame compared to these other bugs mosq bites go away quickly for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
