Something with my clothes and bed sheets is giving me hives, but it's not the detergent or fabric softener. Hmm

@alstor Hmm, any chance of exposure to bed bugs?

@Facet I don't really know tbh. We live in a clean house, but my stepbrother and his friends recently left a lot of open food containers around that attracted mice and ants. So maybe?

@alstor Generally the common causes of getting them are contact with other people in public, inviting people into your house or room, or sleeping at a hotel.

@Facet I get the feeling it would be the second one since a lot of people have been coming through my family's house lately, and they all aren't the best hygienically. Regardless, I'm gonna wash my sheets on hot this time. Thanks for the tip!

@alstor They mostly bite hands, arms, and legs, and tend to bite around an area several times, sometimes leaving a cluster of like 20 bites, sometimes in a straight line. Check all angles of your arms each time you wake up. They leave small red welts, only sometimes swollen.

@Facet I don't think it's bites, though? I'm getting these rashes and bumps midday.
