Wow, That is really odd. Did you happen to be sporting a Hawaii 85 mesh halfshirt while you were rolling around on Sulpher mountain?
Numerous Bug Bites on the belly and back sound to me like one thing only - Bed Bugs!
I wonder if there is any way your guests picked up some bed bugs on there travels and transfered them to you while staying at your place but this seems unlikely for two reasons.
That seems like a large number of bites for one or two bugs transferred in and you would continue would continue to get bit, which doesn't seem to be happening.
Some people will develop hives as a result of bed bugs and this could be the source of the problem with the continued pain. If so I would reccomend a trip to the doctor to have it looked at with a possible remedy of a topical cortisone cream.
Spiders, ticks and other ectoparasite rarely have multiple bites and certainly not on the belly and back.
I would continue to investigate the Bed Bug possiblity as they may be on the Gondola as they are found in Limos, buses, couches movie theatres and even resturants.
Happy hunting!
