Hiding in the Shag Carpet?

Spider Bites

Tell us where your bite is (arm, leg, nose, whatever)

on my butt

Why I think it's a spider bite

Because I found the bites when waking up in the morning before. I had old shag carpeting in my room, and I believe that the spiders were deep in the shag carpeting. I can only think that it would be a spider bite.

What happened

I had bites before that are the same as the ones that I have received now. The only happen in my bedroom when I am sleeping. I found them in the A.M. when I wake up. They have always been the same size red, itchy marks. I have 5 on my rear end and 1 on my leg. I had shag carpeting in my room which I tore up 2 days ago. I received the bites on my rear end when I was removing the carpeting in my shorts.

Advice

  • Make sure that your carpeting in your bedroom is clean of dust. I noticed that after I tore up the carpeting in the corners of the room and along the walls that their was alot of dust. I feel that the spiderers were living in these corners.
