    Bites appear is the exact same spots where I got bed bug bites before. This often happens after I exercise. Is it possible that old bites "reappear" due to my body heat or are these new bites? I'm positive the bites are in the same spots as before because I have hyperpigmentation (skin darkens where I get bitten).

    Hi,

    Yes, as you body gets overheated the immune system kicks back in and old bites can and will sometimes flare up again. It can also happen if you are exposed to high levels of environmental pollution.

    Hope that clarifies.

    Are you referring to sprays and dust as "environmental pollution"?

    When exactly will this flaring stop? I got the bites this summer and 6 months later, it still flares up whenever I exercise. Is this something that will go away on its own?

    I think it was Lou who quoted a period of 9 months, but I could be spastically remembering it wrong.

    My experience was I moved out in October 2011 and had reactions until April/May of this year.

    Wow - this is crazy. I like to stay active - should I be avoiding heavy workouts right now?
