Effient And Insects
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I've been on Effient for eight months. Every morning I would get up bleeding from several places- typically on my arms, legs and chest. There would be a characteristic 'cut' a few inches long with tiny dots in the cut. Over time I determined insects were the cause. I place iodine on the incision and tiny bugs so small that as to be barely noticeable come out. They seem to be laid in the wound by larger bugs that look like a grain of ground coffee. No one else in the family shares this problem; I sleep in the same bed as my wife, etc. The larger bugs have skeletons and can be crushed. Sometimes I can see them 'jump' like a flea. For some reason, they're only interested in MY blood- it's like coke to them. Having the house sprayed by an exterminator helped but I'm still getting them. What are these things? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, Don! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.

However, I have never heard of such a thing. What I'd suggest is getting a sample of the bugs and taking them into your doctor, so they can look into the matter.

Are you on any other medications?
