Where to start? A couple of weeks ago 3/2-I woke up and got ready for work, when I got to work I noticed 3 bite like marks on my neck and 2 on my stomach. They were red and itchy, the more I scratched, the more they looked like a mosquito bite. Here are the pics for those~~
On 3/4 I noticed 2 mosquito looking bites on my forearm- these seemed to swell and itch intensely throughout the day. Pics-
Somewhere in between then and now, I woke up one night itching and noticed 2 welts on my other arm but higher up. Don't have a pic of those but they looked like mosquito bites also.
Then Monday, while driving home from work, I had a tight fitted long sleeve shirt on and all of a sudden felt an immense itchiness coming from inside my shirt. It continued to itch the whole way home. When I got home I had 6-7 bites. While they looked like bites, it almost looked like a rash type thing also.
This is when I went crazy and inspected everything. No sign of bed bugs whatsoever, but I did find 2 carpet beetles crawling on mattress, along with several carpet beetle casings/shells on mattress and box spring.
I haven't slept in my bed since Monday night and haven't gotten bitten since then and have thoroughly cleaned and sprayed alcohol/DE mix everywhere.
I have read about people reacting to carpet beetle hair in the same way they would to bed bugs. Considering I found no blood, fecal matter, shells, or live bugs and just carpet beetles do you think that could be what this is??
Also, I was sleeping in pants and long sleeve shirts every night when I would have bites on me.
My daughter is also in the bed, she has no bites. I do live in the South, and killed a giant mosquito last night that I saw land on me. However, I was under the impression they bit once and were finished.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
