| 1123.1 | some thoughts..... | JAWS::TRIPP | | Wed Sep 04 1991 09:57 | 21 |
| A couple thoughts on this, first is it on the side which is touching
the pillow or linen, could possibly be a reaction to a new soap, new
sheets, or if she's drooling could be a reaction of the saliva against
the skin for a period of time.
Second, could it be either fleas from an animal or sand fleas, which
can come not only from sandbox, but with dry ground they breed there,
or worse could an animal in the house have left some fleas in her room
that have gotten into the bedding? Or I have noticed lately these tiny
knat(sp?) type things that literally can fly through the window
screens, they may have the cability to bite.
Could it be a localized allergy? In by my and my son's case, if we eat
too much citrus, oranges specifically, we both break out with a strange
pinpoint rash around the mouth.
Realistically though I'd opt that's it's environmental. There are
specialists out there who deal only in pedi dermatology, try contacting
one.

| 1123.2 | Sleep tight, don't let the bedbug bite... | A1VAX::DISMUKE | | Wed Sep 04 1991 10:10 | 10 |
| How do you know they don't itch? My husband and I get them which leads
me to believe we have a "bedbug". I think it may be a spider or
something, I really don't know. I do know it isn't mosquito. I never
hear them. Anyway - I know it comes from our bed because my youngest
(who likes to go to sleep in our bed before we do) has them, too. The
other son hasn't been in our bed in awhile - he has no bites! Needless
to say, I change the sheets and blankets often so I think it's a night
visitor and not a live-in. YUCK!!

| 1123.3 | still could be mosquitos... | TENVAX::MIDTTUN | Lisa Midttun,285-3450,NIO/N4,Pole H14-15 | Wed Sep 04 1991 10:22 | 9 |
| I wouldn't necessarily rule out mosquito bites. My daughter woke up
with about 5 small welts (mosquito bite size) on the back of her head
one morning. They didn't seem to bother her at all. I found out that
the screen in her room was slightly loose...once that was fixed, no
more bites. So, I expected that they were, in fact, mosquito bites.
Maybe they did itch, maybe they didn't. Could be they were too
inaccessible for her to scratch or maybe she just doesn't know how
(she's only 8 months old). Who knows? If they're on the large side, it
also could be spider bites (in my experience, they're larger welts).

| 1123.4 | Fleas?? | JAWS::TRIPP | | Wed Sep 04 1991 12:33 | 10 |
| From personal experience, my parents had a case of fleas IN the
mattress. From the advise of an exterminator, get rid of the mattress
POST HASTE!!
If it is, in fact fleas there is no other solution, but to get rid of
the mattress (and pillows possibly) before it spreads to the carpeting!
By the way, we had an indoor only cat, we still never figured out where
the fleas came from!!

| 1123.5 | could well be mosquitos | TLE::RANDALL | liberal feminist redneck pacifist | Wed Sep 04 1991 17:50 | 4 |
| Mosquito bites almost never make me itch, and the mosquitos have been
very bad at our end of town the last two or three days.
