    I have bites on my scalp, my hands and my ankles? What's likely to be doing it? To cool for the usual suspects.

      If I get bites on my ankles it’s usually when I’ve been in a house which has carpets and pets with fleas. :help:

        Ants, midges and American werewolves are the likely candidates knowing your location!:)

          I should have mentioned that I was getting bitten in the garden. Weeding, grubbing about under bushes etc

          Never heard of them. A bit impolite to bite when we haven't even been introduced!
          They don't look like flea bites . Had plenty of them when we had pets.
