I have an itchy rash or bites on my elbows and hands. I sprayed for bed bugs and sprinkled diatomaceous earth all over my apartment. What is eating me? Even sitting in my living room it sometimes feels like I'm being bit. If what I'm feeling is not bugs then what else can it be?

Hello, Kellie! How are you doing? Has there been any change? What does the rash look like? Can you please post back and describe it more?

According to NIH reports, this could also be due to fleas, an allergy, or several other causes. There's also a risk it might be due to some species of spiders.

Are you on any medications or supplements? They can also cause allergic reactions.

Have you switched your laundry detergent, body soap, shampoo, or cleaning supplies recently?

Have you consulted your doctor? It might be time to see a dermatologist to have testing done.
