So a little back story.
I just moved into my new condo, first place I bught on my own!
I went to a friend's wedding, stayed at a really nice hotel back in mid june. A couple weeks afterwards I started noticing a bite here or there and freaked out and assumed they were bug bites. I looked all over my mattress, cracks, crevices, I couldn't find anything. I washed my bedding in super hot water and dried in the dryer really hot.
Over the following weeks the bites went away and I assumed since they weren't next to each other, they were probably mosquito bites that I just freaked out about. Mosquitos have been everywhere this summer!
So I recently washed my bedding....and when I lifted up the mattress sheet, the one that covers the 'mattress cover' I have for padding, I saw on top of the mattress cover there was like 1-2 little red flakes. When I got closer I saw that it may be the tiniest of a bug and freaked out! It was dead.
Now I am freaking out that I have bed bugs...but want confirmation before I start calling places.
Here's a pic to show the small size in comparison to my finger:
