We haven’t changed anything recently so I can’t imagine that could be the case. He also mentioned they might be flea bites from our dog but our dog doesn’t have fleas & never has. No one else in the family is having any trouble. We were away about a week ago at a waterpark & stayed at the hotel there for 2 nights & have been home for a week.

Could this possibly be bedbugs from the hotel? Could it take this long to show up? I don’t have any pics right now but can some post some. Any opinions would be great:-)

Anyway, fast forward to later this week, I came home from the gym last night (Thursday after this started) & noticed my right heel was itching. Then I noticed another slight and awkward itch on my left foot close to the big toe. This morning I woke up with those two bites plus one on the arch of my right foot. These are also very red, welt-ish and singular bites within their areas.

Could this be bed bugs, a spider or a renegade mosquito? I looked carefully last night around my bed and couldn’t find a thing; will look further this evening.

Thanks so much, I’ve also emailed because I can’t figure out how to post a photo!

That’s looks like just the bites a bed bug would leave, but I would not jump to that conclusion from one set of bites. It’s impossible to tell what bit your son from the picture, but if it keeps happening, I’d start looking and begin to worry at that point.

My son just came back from his fathers after spending the weekend there. (His father just moved into this apartment a month ago). I noticed the 3 bite marks in a line on his cheek and one big one under his eye.

They don’t have a red dot in the middle and he complains they itch like crazy and burn. Could he have been bitten by a bedbug?

Thank you

My doctor told me these weren’t consistent with bed bug bites and that I could be having an allergic reaction to something.

The next day I found the bedbug!

Are the bumps the same bumps or new ones? I would not assume they are bed bugs yet, especially if your not getting new bites!

So I was just at Disney World in FL for the College Dance and Cheer Nationals we got back on Monday the 16th. Since then I’ve noticed little red bumps on my neck, arms and back.

I am currently sitting in a school building waiting for my class to start at 2:30 and decided I’d call and ask my mom who suggested bed bugs and to call the girls that were in my room.

I’ve heard back from all but 1 of them and none of them have these bumps. You get this a lot but I’m freaking out because we won and were in the news paper and all this stuff and now I might have bed bugs. My mom said if I do I have to contact my landlord and I’ve slept at my boy friends and a friends house and I dunno please let me know what to do

Thank you,

Update: 1/19/12

I posted yesterday about the bumps on my neck, I went to the doctor and he took one look and said they were bed bug bites. After my panic attack of what I do about my apartment he spoke with me about every thing.

I stated my suitcase was on the suitcase rack and away from the bed and never physically came in contact with the bed but the clothes in it obviously did. I live in Fargo, ND and the windchill is -30 today so he told me to throw my suit case on the deck for a few days and that will kill them off, also he said bag up anything the came in contact with the suitcase or clothes from it and do a load of laundry so Id have clothes to last me 4 days. So I got home and loaded all my clothes from my dresser (thankfully didnt hang anything from the suitcase) and put them in plastic bags out on my deck.

So now my question is, my suitcase was unloaded on my bedroom floor then shoved in the corner of my room it was close to my closet but did not touch any clothing. How worried do I need to be that I brought bugs home with me? And what can I do to prevent them from multiply now rather than waiting till there is a lot of them and I physically can see they are there? (I searched my whole bed, box, and dust ruffle and didnt see anything which would make sense since the suitcase never came in contact with the bed)

Also the Doctor said to take benadryl to reduce the irritation, your body is having a reaction to the bite and the allergy meds will help reduce the discomfort. And then to ice the big bad ones to reduce swelling, then sit and wait it out.

Thank you
