What Causes Allergic Rashes On The Arms And Calves?

We are currently renting a home in Fox Island, WA, we have lived here for almost 6 years and have no problems. within the past three months, we have a massive problem with rats in the crawl space. We called in the professionals who explained to the exterminator what was going on as I started to get these wierd scabs and bites in my arms and calves. They are driving me crazy,,The only thing I know is there were some carpet beetles found but the yellow larvae is burrowing under my skin. at first they itch and then they burn. our landlord put some poison under the house to kill the rats but did nothing to the inside. it seems that the bugs are coming into the house...........only after dark.

Hello,

It may flea bite lead to plague or it may be cutaneous larva migraines or it may dermatographia or allergy to insect bites.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

You may make your house pest free otherwise it is difficult.

It is possible that it may be due to scabies also which involves all family members and it makes burrows at fingernails.

Please consult your physician immediatly he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
