Why do I feel itchy every time I go under my deck? (lemm.ee)

I have a large space under our deck that is enclosed and have been turning into a sort of shed. Every time I go in there though I'm super itchy all over like something has been biting me. I don't see any insects though. However I am bad at noticing things like bugs.

Any ideas?

I was so excited for them having a cool hangout spot under a giant desk.

I'm very disappointed.

It's probably termites! Their nests tend to grow a mold that causes allergic reactions in lots of people. Exactly the sort of thing that would make you itchy.

OP should be careful, spending time in enclosed spaces with termite infestations can cause naphthalene poisoning!

%50 you're allergic to something

Wear some insect repellant and see if it still happens.

Why do I sneeze many times over after breakfast? Only breakfast.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Either an allergic reaction to something you only eat for breakfast, or dust mite allergy (sneezing to get rid of all the allergens you breathed in from your mattress), or photic sneeze reflex from the morning sun?
