I've recently been getting bites which really itch and intensify during the night. I wake up paranoid every night thinking something is crawling on me. I've set up a flea trap. Caught nothing. Cleaned my WHOLE room, washed all the bedding 3 times (over the course of 3 weekends). Put soda on he mattress, vaccumed the carpets, tried to convince my parents to hire professionals. Nothing worked. I'm scared for my mental health and my confidence, not only is it hard to function during the day after waking up all night with paranoia but also itching all night and day. HELP. What could this be??

    Keritta, do you have any pets? Especially cats? They may be flea bites but are not in your bed. They just start to itch when you are warm. If you have lots of carpet the fleas can live in the pile. you should be able to buy anti flea medication for any animal and also to use on the carpet and the entire house if its very bad.Does anyone else in your house suffer with bites?If not,and you have no animals indoors are you picking them up from a another house you may visit?
