HI all, recently I have gotten a sore and swollen throat and multiple itching red spots that I've itched raw. they are widespread and not close together they look like spider bites. I've recently slept on a mattress that hasn't been washed in a while. It feels like things are crawling under my skin. what do you think is wrong with me? It's horrible. Any help appreciated
