my bro n i realised we've been gettin lots of mosquito-lookalike-bites these few days, but we jus ignored them since we're kinda used to them~~~
but the bites r jus too many to b mosquito bites... we've counted - he had a total of around 30plus bites and i had around 40 all over our body... neck, arms, back, thighs... n they itch like crazy!!! there seems to be some tiny bugs in our rm recently... so we did some research and found they may b bird mites... cos there is a birdnest jus outside my house and bird mites attack bird nests, and they find other hosts when e nest is abandoned or when e birds die, which is possible since i've nt heard e birds chirping for e past few days..
so we decided to check it out and true enough, a tiny nestling had died, e parent birds had left e nest, n worst of all, it is infested with bird mites! no wonder we've been gettin all tt bites recently cos our window is jus like less than 1m away!! we r their new food... disgustin man...
here's how bad e bites r...
my bro's back... e smaller ones r not really tt visible though...
my bro's arms...
e back of my neck...
e itch is drivin me crazy!!! but at least e source is found n removed, n my rm cleaned up... i shall jus wait for tt few mites which may still b lingerin in some corner of my rm to die soon... it sucks cos they're so small to b spotted easily... they're bout e size of this dot "."... ok, hafta depend wad's e font size of ur comp... anw, jus thank goodness they only haf a lifespan of 7days n their bites do nt cause some infectious disease...
may all mites die soon...
