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?

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

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!
Woah TIL
I only heard about it from an episode of House lol
I initially read this as desk and I was so confused 😅
I was so excited for them having a cool hangout spot under a giant desk.
I’m very disappointed.
Same
Oh good, not just me then.
%50 you’re allergic to something
%50 bugs
8% chance spouse is cheating. Hire a gym and hit an attorney.
25% you’re allergic to bugs.
12.5% something’s bugging your allergies.
And 100% reason to remember the benadryl.
Can’t be itchy if you’re unconscious!
Do you spray poison under there to control bugs? I have one that gets me all itchy.
I also had an infestation of fleas under my shed once. I got rid of them but it was crazy how many love the leaves that blow under the shed.
Have you noticed any rash or other marks on your skin where you feel itchy? Bumps, redness, dry patches, etc. Different irritants can have different reactions on the skin, so that may help you identify the cause.
No. No marks or rashes. I do get localized itchy bumps though.
Do you store any chemicals or new building materials in there whatsoever?
Chlorine does this to my feet when I open the container to add more to the pool. It’s heavier than air, so wafts out of the container then “spills” over onto my shoes, causing a reaction with the moisture on my skin. Much healthy :))
Is there insulation down there? The fibers are good at getting into everything.
There is no insulation. Just wood, gravel, and dirt.
What do you mean by deck? All I can think of is a ship or a Steam Deck, neither of which seem to apply
Like these things.
Anyone else glance too quickly at the title and thinks this about a guy with genital warts?
No, but I do now
Is there any accompanying physical sign, is your skin red or bumped before you start scratching? You may have just set up a mental association.
Are there dues for this association?
Very minimal to cover basic admin and licensing, venue costs are low due to the under-deck siting. Accidentally setting up a Mental Association can be very rewarding.
I was hoping more for the “living in my head rent free” pricing tier.
Yes that is a good one, is the mental association in his head or under the deck because in his head it is under the deck but under the deck it is in his head.
Is it possible the paint causes this?
No paint under there. All raw wood or wood composite
Could it be all in your crazy little head?
