I have bug bites that appear to be line like, 3 inches on legs? One on legs, one on arm...

Hi Steve,

Are you saying that the bite marks are 3 inches long on your legs and arm?

Do you know what scabies look like? They kind of make a trail on your skin - usually very itchy.

Does that sound like what you are experiencing?

Are you sure they are even bug bites? Could it be a rash caused by something else you were exposed to like poison ivy or a chemical?

Are you looking for a bug bite remedy? You may want to try aloe vera if you have a plant handy. Slice a stem open and rub the gel on the bites.

Another option to try is some tea tree oil or some oregano oil. You can use it straight or mix it with a carrier or oil or even water.

Finally, another natural remedy for skin rashes and bug bites is raw organic apple cider vinegar (like Bragg's). Again, you can use it straight or dilute with a bit of water.

Hope this helps!
