Hi - my family of 4 returned from a fabulous vacation in Negril on Saturday. We visited a beach at the far West End last Wednesday at sunset, and everyone was immediately attacked by an army of sand fleas. Well, we jumped off that beach as fast as we could. The next day, one daughter was covered by swollen bites on her thighs and legs (she had sat on the beach). The rest of us had no noticeable bites at all. We had no other issues at all with bugs of any kind during our entire stay except for this one time. Our time and CocolaPalm, 7 Mile Beach and around Negril were literally bug free. We came back to So. Cal. on Saturday. Suddenly yesterday afternoon about 50 extremely itchy small red spots appeared on my ankles and lower legs. That is 6 days after our encounter with the sand fleas. Last night my other daughter, who did not know this had happened to me, texted me a pic of her legs multiple bites on her legs and ankles had appeared, even more than me. She was freaked out, thinking we had brought bugs home with us. My husband has had no such reaction, but he never reacts to any type of bites. I read that sometimes the sand fleas lay their eggs under the skin when they bite (oh my!) - might this have happened to us? Do we need to do anything now?

Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks!
