Amazonaws causing false clicks?

I have a site that logs a "hit" whenever a user brings up a detail page for a particular item so that admins can see how many hits that particular item gets. We get random instances where items are being hit multiple times/day in twos. So, in the data, it looks like a user is viewing an item, but the site is logging their hit twice in the database (same item, same date/time, same IP Address, etc.). Most hits are only being recorded once, and all my testing has lead to assurance the site is working appropriately. I'm noticing that particular IP Addresses are causing double hits. When I do Reverse IP searches, all the "double hits" are tied to IP Addresses that trace back to Amazonaws in northern Virginia, on the other side of the country. Our site is used locally, and the single hits are coming from IPs that trace back to local areas. Is there a bot hitting my site from afar? Should I block Amazonaws in Azure (which is where my site is hosted) or is that going to lock out genuine users? Is there a way I can detect whether a hit is genuine in my code (my site is in .Net MVC)? Has anyone faced a similar situation in the past?
