Sometimes chronic hives are mis-diagnosed as flea bites. Have you actually seen any fleas?

You better run to the doctors office . It sounds as you are having a reaction to the bites.\nThere is no way to get rid of them , only time will take care the problem

Use a shampoo with Tea Tree Oil in it - always...\nThis should reduce risk if re-infestation.\nWhen head lice are found, it's important that everyone in the household decontaminates at the same time - it doesn't work if one of you leaves it till next week!

Set some ground pepper around their area and they'll stay in...if you want to kill them I swear by Windex or if you have a baby and worry about fumes try pure vinegar and it'll work, too!

Kinda sounds like reeaally bad fleas, which makes sense if she's been living outdoors for a while( happened to our dog last year when we kenneled him to close to the neighbor's woodpile).  Do you see any tiny black dot-sized bugs on her skin? If so, she needs a flea bath, & good flea meds (like frontline, $17 from the vet), and you would need to sprinkle flea powder where she's been sleeping & on your carpeting. If she has mange, she would have bald patches (mange is the dog & cat equivalent of ring worm- which isn't a worm, it's a fungal skin infection), I don't think there would be sores.

itching, blood and burning from where? I'm assuming your "hind end". If so, sounds like hemorroids. Just try some Preparation H.

From everything I have read regarding Lice ( had to deal with a bout of it on my 9 yr old when she got it from school. Lucky for my husband and I neither of us got it and we treated ourselves just to be safe too. ) Anyway, from what I have read about Lice; Animal Lice is different from Human Lice, Animal Lice lives off the Dander and old skin on animals where as Human lice lives off Blood ( thus the reason why the ITCH; it's because they bite you to draw blood.) Animal Lice can NOT live on Humans for just that reason and Human Lice can't live on Animals because there's a different genetic make up.\n\nHowever if you do feel afraid you might get it I would suggest getting something like Rid or Pronto that also has the canester spray to use on beds, cars, furniture etc. Stuff that can't be washed in HOT, HOT Water safely ( even Toy's which you can actually Spray down,put into a giant trash bag and keep in there for several weeks to make certain any eggs that might have latched on will have died.)

Do you have pets? Maybe it's fleas...If so, they are a pain to get rid of...try washing your sheets, vacuuming the mattress, and the ENTIRE floor....also, if you sprinkle BORAX powder on the floor then vacuum it, it's supposed to help kill them...(borax is in the laundry soap aisle)\nIf not fleas, maybe you are allergic to something in your bed....new detergent??

My husband grew up with cats and had mild allergic reactions- after 10 years with no cats, we got two cats and he began to have pretty bad allergic reactions.  He loves cats and did not want to get rid of them nd does not want to be on medications.  A few things that have helped him and a friend of mine's children who are allergic.  Gradual increasing of exposure to the cats helped build his immunity, keeping the house clean, well vacuumed - floors and furniture, maintaining an allergy -free zone-we keep the cats out of the bedroom so he can have 8 -10 hours of sleep with no irritants and his body can recover form whatever irritations it has been exposed to throughout the day.  This seems to work very well for hubby.  To help out some friends who are allergic to cats we are planning in investing in a good air purifier or two- I am told that these work wonders for any kinds of allergies.  Also, giving the cat a good regular brushing with a brush that does not cause the hair to fly around helps !

Avoiding fleas helps.

I would spend the next day or two looking at townhouses/homes that allow pets. Call those landlords/owners and explain the situation. Some of them may be willing to work with you, etc. It never hurts to check. \n\nIf you do need to go somewhere where pets are not accepted, try talking to a vet, shelter, or a kennel. These people work with animals because they love them, and they may be able to help you. I had a shelter watch my cat for 3 mos when I had a roommate that was allergic to animals. We made the deal that I would care for her as usual, bring food over, etc and I would also adopt another cat when I moved to my new place. I adopted 2. Just ask them ... you never know.\n\nDo they have any YMCA's around where you live? Any shelter over your head is better than no shelter, and sometimes we don't have much of a choice in the matter. \n\nGood luck to you.

It seems as if there are some external sources making them sick- do you live in a wet environment? Are there signs of mildew on the windows or walls? Do you have pets, especially ones that tramp around in the weeds? Where do you and/or your husband work? Bringing in something on your clothes from work that may be toxic? What type of cleaning products do you use? Are you spraying their toys/room with Febreeze?- this has been known to be dangerous to animals! You need to do some serious research around your house and track poosible sources of toxins coming in or growing in your house.Not enough info for now, sorry. Allergy testing should rule out foods, but not environment.

thanks for answering my question about cats\nbut why in the world did you get your kitty declawed? Omgosh that is so awful and inhumane to do to a kitty. I dont understand why. You know that they basically cut the tips of the babys fingers off, dont you? And that it is just to benefit the owner. Gosh, I cant believe an animal lover would actually do that. I am not being hateful, it is just very sad and unfair that you did that.\n\nWell, I am glad that you found out about what actually goes on with that awful procedure. Sounds like your kitties are doing good, I just wish the public was more informed of stuff like this.\nThanks for the tip about leaving cats indoors, I remember one time when my little girl kitty had actually caught a mouse in our house and it was laying at the foot of our bed the next morning!!!!\newwwww.  Yeah, I totally freaked out, but it was just where we lived in the country then, but yeah, they are good little hunters, that is for sure.\n\nto answer your question:\n\nsounds like maybe asbestos or some kind of pest control maybe has visited and didnt tell you guys, I would be careful if I were you.\nAlso, if there are cooling vents in your workplace, their could be other contaminants.\nBe careful.
