I have lived in SE Asia for the past 36 years and am very accustomed to mosquito bites , however within the last 18 months I find that I am frequently bitten by an insect or mite so tiny that it is not visible to the eye and it is not immediately apparent that you have been bitten . it is quite unlike a mosquito bite.
This affects me most frequently in places like Jomtien Beach (Thailand) Penang ,and most recently Chiang Mai ,which would seem to suggest that the culprit is not a sand fly. One theory is that the common denominator could be the presence of cats in all of these households ..and the bites could be those of fleas or ticks.Alternatively I am considering the possibility that the offenders are mites which actually live in my clean laundered clothing and are impervious to washing detergents.
A Chinese colleague in the house suffers the same affliction ,yet another caucasian in the household is never bitten.
By the time the itching starts there is already a very angry red area beneath the skin and a taut water blister has formed over this area.
Itching is almost unbearable and bursting the blister leaves a very sore,raw area beneath . It can take at least a week to heal over and seems to leave a permanent scar or skin discolouration at the least.
