Flea bites??
Question:
How can this happen, as i have no pets and was wearing jeans all day yesterday?
Answers:
Sounds possibly like urticaria (hives), which could be an allergic reaction, or due to a number of other things, including an infection. I know a LOT of people who have chronic hives, and many of them first thought they had flea or mosquito bites. It's a very common misdiagnosis for hives.
Try bathing with Aveeno, it;s an oatmeal powder that is made to mix with bathwater, you can find it at any drugstore. Mix one packet with warm water (not hot - heat will likely make the itching worse) and soak for as long as you comfortably can (15-30 minutes). OTC antihistamines such as Benadryl may help, but it's better to consult a doctor than trying to dose yourself with medications.
If you continue to have this rash for a while (weeks), you really should consult with a doctor, since there are some systemic conditions, including cancers, which can cause a persistent rash. Not to scare you, but they should be ruled out.

if there is sand around your house you could get sand fleas indise your house
they could be flea bites. or they can also be little mosquitos. these come out when the weather is warm..the best thing to do b4 the next time to sleep is to clean your blankets and bed.
Are you sure you weren't exposed to poison ivy? It can work it's way right through your clothing. Bed bugs are another possibilty.check your mattress for tiny red specks (the mites). They hide along the seams.
were u in contact with any animals , or at a zoo
does any of ur mates have a cat or a dogs which my have flees , if so the owners will have to get medecation for the animal (s) and u have to get to the doctors for medecated cream to get rid of the bites
Well fleas can jump from person to person, its amazing the distance they can jump to, I think its unlikely that you have flea bites though if you have no pets. (With fleas generally you treat the animal, treat the house (with spray), change all bedding, wash curtains, hoaver like crazy and you can get a cream so that your skin does not react to fleas until they are gone).
It sounds like you have a rash which could be anything from heat rash to dry skin.
You can always go to your pharmacy / chemist and get advice, if they do not know what it is, they will suggest you see a doctor , good luck!
might be heat rash, like a prickly heat?
Check for bedbugs when all else is eliminated!
Could they be mozzie bites? Not a lot different in appearance to flea bites as the are both red and angry. if there are a lot of them and hubby is bite then I would discount fleas in the bed .
I'll have a Fiver on Mozzybite running in the first LEG in whatever race track is in BEDford.
Don't kick the blankets off tonight.

If there is a flea about I will always get bitten. It only takes one flea to cause the amount of bites you have received. You say you have no pets, a cat may have walked through your garden, dropped a flea, you walked past, he jumps up your trouser let, hey presto!! its as easy as that, they itch like hell for a few days. Try not to scratch, they can become infected via dirty nails etc. This then in turn can cause ringworm which is a fungal infection. This happened to me the last time I was bitten on my arm. I now take garlic capsules. The vet uses a garlic based flea repellent on animals. It seems to work for me. Not had a bite since.
I hope this helps.
Is there grass near were you live? as fleas can be in certain types of grass. also any of your mates got pets that have come to your house? do you have carpet in the house fleas live in carpet as well.
I would buy some flea bombs and do the whole house.
