Is it my imagination?
 

I am embarrassed to post this but, what the heck? The last couple of nights while in my quilting room, I have sensed something sort of like little pinches or insects on my legs but when I look, there's nothing there. There are no pets so that's not an issue. My sewing room is clean and I have white carpet so it should be easy to spot any potential infestation. I have heard of silver light moths??? I don't see any signs of moths or anything else out of the ordinary. I don't notice this anywhere else in my home. Is there anything else I should be looking for? Should I fumigate with a bug bomb just in case?

Do you have a rash or any other 'evidence' of a bite or sting?

Hope you get an answer - this is weird!!! Do you store fabric with starch on it? I've heard that this can attract insects.

Does it only happen at night and only in your sewing room? Does it happen aftering you've been standing for some time? I get what feels like very light electrical shocks in my legs when I've worked out (on treadmill with an incline or the elliptical) a little longer or have been standing on a hard surface for some time. Also is your sewing machine sitting on front of a window that could be attracting very tiny insects that can get thru a closed window?

Are you wearing pants or are your legs exposed? I would suggest talking to your doctor, sounds like a nerve problem to me, not a bug problem.

Can it be a position you are sitting in? Eons ago, I had this weird pain in my shoulder. Could not be a repetitive stress movement but when I switched to headphones at work as opposed to a regular phone it all went away. If you are in the same position every day for hours maybe you are pinching a nerve that gives you that feeling. I would try different chair or a pillow before I call the exterminator.

all of the above, but don't try a bomb. i always worry about those things since we all have furnaces and heaters that have pilot lights. perhaps something you can shake out of a can into the carpet, then later vacuum up. good luck.

Another possibility ... perhaps an electrical device (or cord) has a break or thin spot and the carpet is picking up and transferring small amounts of charge up your legs.

Could it be your circulation???? I find that after a day of living that my legs will tingle and swell a bit.
