Suggest Treatment For Bug Bites All Over The Body

Posted on Mon, 11 Jan 2016

Question: I live in one room in Assisted living facility. I can't see the dreadful bugs but they are biting me. The Mgr. had a local sprayer spray my room twice, but they are still here. Do they ever go away without spraying (the bites seem to be getting fewer)?

Brief Answer:
Pest control mandatory

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I red your question and i understand your concern. Bug issues in assisted living facility can be a nuisance and needs perfect and complete eradication. Some thing the facility authorities and pest control have to sort out together. I am afraid there is not much i can do in that regard. As a doctor, i would suggest continue using the ointment your doctor and get the bite marks evaluated to rule out any dermatological illness like urticaria, hive or dermatitis etc as sometimes those can be mimicking bug bite. You may add some oral antihistamines with the topical ointment for better control but unless the bugs are not eradicated completely you cant be free of symptoms.

Mail US EPA at YYYY@YYYY and see iif they respond. I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
