Anybody ever wake up the next day with some itches on your arms, legs? I got into something like that on my last day or so in the PI that remind me of fire ant stings.
I did see some small red ants in the room, which I thought nothing of. Maybe they were the culprit. I'm swabbing the welts with alcohol, then applying calamine lotion. It seems to be improving, but the times I've had fire ant bites, they lasted quite a long time to go away.
Any other suggestions or remedy tips would be appreciated.

change hotels-- one with no bugs.

One of those bastards bit my dick one time, hurt like hell! I know it was an ant because I caught it, tortured it, pinched off his head, and then fed it to my monkey. The only thing that made my dick feel better was my girl's mouth on it for an hour or so. A couple hours later it started hurting again...
Ant bites and mosquito bites are almost daily accurances for me. They don't bother me for more than a day for sure. Could be because I get massaged with Aloh Vera lotion a couple times a day, so maybe that would help.

What hotel did you stay @ when you got the itches?
Bed mites....

DM, good advice, but you can't unring a bell.
Actually, I'm not 100 percent certain where I got them. During the last portion of my trip I stayed at three different places in about four days.
Fortunatley I've been doing some reading, and these buggies are quite common in the PI and normally just leave painful, itchy welts, rarely transmitting bad stuff other than venom.

LOL. At least it's not as bad as the venom from a bar girl spurned.
