My husband starting complaining of bites/poison ivy on his legs last week & mentioned maybe it could be bed bugs. I wrote it off as being paranoid/overreacting. Then on Saturday morning I woke up with bites in a line pattern on my forearm & some individual bites on my legs. I started poking around under the sheets and found some blood spots on my mattress cover. I went into full blown panic mode and ordered spray, climbup interceptors, mattress and pillow encasements, and began cleaning everything in the room like a madwoman.
Despite the fact that I haven't caught a single bug in our interceptors & haven't had any new bites I am still paranoid. I have also not seen any skin casings or fecal stains anywhere. We have a memory foam mattress that is on a metal platform & I haven't seen any evidence other than the bites and blood stains. We let our dog sleep in the bed and I think it is possible a spot on her side that bleeds could be the source of the stains, but I am freaking out because of the bites. I can't put it out of my mind that we have bed bugs and it's starting to take a toll.
Can anyone look at these pictures and tell me if I should call in a PCO to take a look, or if I really am just paranoid? http://imgur.com/a/4AfYx
Thanks in advance. I am desperate for some peace of mind.
