I had one bite on my leg about 2 weeks ago, thought it was a random spider bite and didn't pay too much attention. 10 days later I had a cluster of bites on my arm with red center marks in groups of twos and threes and somewhat linear. I was alarmed and checked my mattress and bed frame and found nothing. My landlord didn't let me call the PCO on my own, she said she will bring someone to inspect and I will pay for the whole building( two family house). In the meantime I got another bite on my leg on Wednesday. The PCO came in yesterday fist did a visual inspection and then with a sniffer dog. He said I was clear and nothing to worry about and said the bites are possibly dust mites. I forgot to mention him that I had one thin long smear on my sheet not sure if it was blood or not and no other marks (I washed the sheets Wednesday). I have been sleeping on the couch since then and no more bites. Is it possible that the dog was wrong and I have bed bugs. I took everything apart again today and looked at inch by inch with a ash light and couldn't find anything. I don't have the contact info of the PCO or the name and my landlord is a crazy woman she will charge me again if I call her. So scared to go back to sleep in the bed again until I'm sure. How accurate are the dogs? Shall I be worried about that smear or shall I trust the dog?????
