First post!
Good afternoon and Happy Halloween everyone. Yesterday morning I woke up with a bunch of bites all over my body (two on my left foot, one on my right ankle, one on the back of my calf, one on each of my thighs, one on my left wrist, and one on the back of my shoulder).
I understand that bedbugs (supposedly) bite in lines but the only ones that are fairly close to each other are the two bites on my left foot which are probably ~1 1/2 - 2" long. They're all fairly itchy when irritated.
I inspected my bed yesterday for any sign of the beasties but didn't come across anything. Regardless of my search I thoroughly washed all of my beddings and isolated my bed in the center of my bedroom, using double sided tape on all of the floorposts.
Last night I went to sleep fairly late at 2am and set alarms for 4:45 and 5:45 and slept only with a comforter to make it easy to inspect my bed upon waking. I didn't wake up with any bites this morning and both times I woke up there weren't any signs of bugs.
Looking for tips, advice, etc. I'm really interested in seeing if this behavior I've explained is signs of bedbugs or perhaps another critter biting me up the other night. Put my mind at ease or tell me now if it's bedbugs so I can act before it gets worse!
No photos tho upon request I could work something out.
