"ghost itches"

Sometime this week we ended up with an infestation of something that bites. I don't know if it's fleas, chiggers, or something else but I do know that it is driving me nuts.

Perhaps we brought something home from the grass at the campground? Or the felines brought in beasts? I haven't actually seen anything so I am sort of batting in the dark when trying to rid the place of the little monsters.

Oddly enough, I am the only one getting munched. DS2 hasn't been bitten while in here. Himself didn't get chomped in the bedroom last night. The cats aren't scratching. The dog isn't itching...

I am thinking I will set up a flea-trap this morning.* It's simple to do and might give me an indication of what it is that is bugging us. I've also thought of a weird thing that might help if whateverthisis turns out NOT to be fleas. Wrap double-sided tape around my ankles. LOL Well, it might work!

Whatever else I do, I've got to get rid of these things.

Just thinking about pests gives me the ghost itches.

* Have a bowl of water, a flashlight that it sitting in my rolling pin cradle on a small box shining on the surface of the water. If it's fleas, they will be attracted to the warmth of the light bulb, just at it and end up in the water. If it isn't fleas? Who knows....
