i have three little bumpies on my left foot, two close together one far apart. on my right foot i have arow of maybe 8 bites right up mc achilles tendon into my leg hair and three just above my second toe. i dont have any pets, but my apartment neighbors do. the bites feel like mild mosquito or flea bites and are generally not very raised. what are the chances this is scabies? my mattress, boxspring and all bedding are new as of moving into this place.

It does sound like it could be scabies.

I said don't let the bedbugs bite. Your fault.

i just dont see how i can get scabies; you get scabies from youth hostels in amsterdam, not from brand new mattresses in new york. can they live on in apartments after everything is moved out? im looking at my left leg again and theres only 3 on the back of the leg ; my leg hair was obscuring them

I once got scabies more or less randomly.

Have you been picking up things off the street? "Free" stuff?

My experience with scabies is that they love the buttocks and legs and they go apeshit and itchy at night.

i was in mexico last year and we were staying in fancy tents on the beach. the bed had a mosquito net on it, but it was way too fucking hot and i couldn't breath. the wife wouldn't let me open it up, so i said i'd sleep outside the net in a chair. i saw something that was at least 6 inches long crawling on the window, so i went back in the netting but put my hand up to it so it could breath a bit. i woke up and my pinkie finger was the size of 3 fingers. when all the swelling went down, there were 6 bites in a row. that spider (or whatever it was) had a fucking party on my hand through the netting.

BTW, it's not difficult to get a story in Weekly World News. I was solicited by them.

the quality of Weekly World News has declined in recent years

you don't need to have pets to get flea bites.

(but it sure helps)

sounds like fleas

Yes, it was me and yes it is fleas
