What Causes Crawling Sensation On The Skin?

I have the feeling bugs - like fleas are crawling all over me. It started after I ate dinner. There are no fleas, no bedbugs, no anything. Only new recipe was oven roasted vegetables with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, rosemary, thyme, parsley and S&P. Everything tasted fine. I ate at six p.m. and the crawling sensation is still going on.

Hello,
I read your message and understood your problem.

Your case:
- feeling bugs like fleas crawling all over you
- started after eating dinner.

This made me think that maybe you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the dishes you ate. Try to know the ingredients of S&P dish and see what is new for you that you have never taken before.


Take an OTC antihistaminic drug (e.g. Benadryl) and see if the symptoms will disappear. If the crawling sensation aggravates or if other symptoms appear especially those respiratory (difficulty in breathing), please see a doctor or go to ER for immediate evaluation and treatment.

Hope this is helpful.
