This isn't totally bunny related, but could be (bearing in mind that only radar has been outside and that was a year ago).
Anna's started getting some fairly clustered and extremely itchy welts up and down her body.
It started on her ankles at the back end of feb and has worked its way up to her neck, culminating on her chin last night.
It's not an allergic reaction to detergents or anything like that, cus we haven't changed anything. This makes me think either:
Fleas
Mites
Or Bed bugs.
We can rule out bed bugs as I've done a search. It could be fleas, but I've not seen any (and I've only been bitten once) plus the buns don't appear to be agitated.
Could it be mites? How would you know?
It's all flared up mostly when we a) demolished the crappy old shed Down the garden, and b) it got super hot.
One of her work mates had mrsa from a bite, also a kid in the school had shingles, but she doesn't feel poorly.
Plus does anybody know a good home remedy for the itchy welts/spots? It's driving her mad Crying or Very sad

If she got really hot it could be a heat rash. http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/prickly-heat/Pages/Introduction.aspx

Calamine could help, or aloe based products or a cooling aftersun.

My Aromatherapy book suggests 4-5 drops of lavender oil and a handful of baking powder in a lukewarm bath. Or 5-6 drops of rose or tea tree oil, chamomile oil, and lavender oil to 25ml rose water applied with a saturated cotton pad.
