Yer dope is attacking you! Looks like allergies yeah, the non-glandular trichomes have been scratching your skin where the bumps are.. It is common.

Reishi tea or anti histamines will prevent it symptomatically otherwise there is a succulent plant called bulbine which is of the aloe family, the gel from the leaves you rub on your skin. That will take away the itch and make the irritation go down and welts disappear.

I wear long sleeve shirt when I'm in the Garden and when I touch my other ones I don't get this so I'm think maybe insect biting me lol it feels like a tiny sting then hella itchy or sometime I will get one or two bites and have the two dots like mosquito bite

How do I kill that@ Loc Dog

I would look at that article. I think overly damp ground can cause them. We had them from septic overflowing, and water pooling on the ground. They really suck. I can go outside for a minute or 2, and come back in, and start itching. I have never seen one, just feel it and start itching. I would guess your days are still in the 80's. I have not had them in weeks, but it is only about 70 during day, and in 50's at night. I saw a CO2 bug killer for them, but probably pricey. It emits CO2 to make them think there is a person breathing.

Are you trimming buds inside or out??? Maybe they are right about it being an allergic reaction, if it happens indoors, and you have screens on windows. I do not think I have ever been bitten indoors.

Outdoors, within 2 minutes, have had about 8.

You can see no see me they just real small. I'm betting reaction. I've heard the sun makes for stronger resins with extra uv from sun, maybe it just making more or a different kind of resin your body doesn't like?

OP,

Cedarwood oil will keep every insect except for fairly determined ticks off of you.

Tea tree oil can work well as a repellent also, but it is particularly good on alleviating the pain/itch of insect bites after you've been bitten.

You're supposed to dilute the oils before putting them on your skin, as some people can get a rash from them, but I always just tell myself not to be a bitch and I've never had any oils I've applied cause a rash.

they're called chiggers.....tape your pant legs and/or just wipe down with isopropyl alcohol as soon as u get out of the woods.
