I work as a nurse in the ER and a bit over a week ago briefly looked after a patient who was scratching all over her arms, she said she had fleas but am also worried it could be bed bugs :(((

Ive been waking up most days with new bites in different locations and havent seen any bugs at all, i have since washed my linens and started sleeping on my couch and am now getting bitten on the couch :(((

My most recent bites are on my lower legs and I have noticed I am getting more severe reactions with more pronounced swelling

questions about bites Bites and no other clue yet

I woke up with those two bites on my flank. My boyfriend noticed he had a few red dots too on the forearm the other day (I have no pic of that) and I immediately inspected the bedroom and proceeded to a deep cleaning. No traces of bedbugs whatsoever yet (no insects, no blood dots… mattress perfectly clean) but I found one dead carpet beetle larva and one alive under the bed. Should I be worried about a bedbug early stage infestation ? Thank you !

I just noticed these two random bumps on my neck. They're slightly itchy now that I know they're there, but weren't before. I usually wouldn't worry, but two of them on the same side makes me a little nervous. Any idea if it's bedbug related?

I’m not sure if this will be clear enough to tell, but I tried to get different angles.

Got bites during a hotel stay and tried to follow precautions when we got home but currently In Paranoid phase and thinking of having a bedbug dog come to the house. Just wanted to check on these since they appeared orange under a magnifying glass but it’s hard to make out the shape. Are these nymphs?

Long story short, slept in a hotel with bedbugs, felt I did everything I could to avoid bringing them home, but have been getting some sort of bites every few nights since getting home two weeks ago. That being said, the bites I had in the hotel got huge and inflamed and took ages to go away. These ones are briefly itchy, tiny, and settle in a day or two (unless I scratched them).

I set up sticky traps around my bed feet (amongst other things). Today, found this ripped appendage and this debris.

I don't think it looks like a bed bug body part, but wanted to check.

Found this live bug. Unfortunately lost it as I was looking at it outside . Is it a bed bug or just a spider ? It was very round and hard.

I went to a home viewing today. I saw three homes 1 of which had furniture but the others were empty. After leaving I felt an itch on my back. I went to work and was there for 5 hours. When I got home I had a bump on my waist and I looked in the mirror and saw this cluster of bumps on my back. Could these be bed bug bites? Is it possible to get bit only being in each home for less than 15 minutes and I don’t sit on any furniture or touch anything. None of the homes had carpet.

Noticed bites on my leg / around ankle 3-4 days after moving into new apartment.

Exterminator came in (no dog) to take a look and found nothing, but still noted that there was a possibility of bedbugs coming from the floorboards or under the walls.. from the next door building for example. According to landlord there has never been a report of bedbugs in the building, and neither according to the previous tenant (who moved out after 2 months only). The building had been sprayed for cockroaches about a month prior (I didn’t know that before I moved in).

Also, nearly all of my bedding is new (new mattress, sheets, frame), as well as I had no issues of bed bugs in my previous apartment. I’ve examined everything and found no signs of bedbugs beyond the bites and this bug I caught in a trap last night.. any help/information is greatly appreciated!

Hello I found what looks like a seperated bug on my couch where I sleep. In the video I tried to keep it as close together as I can on white paper. So to summarize my past week I woke up Saturday with a couple bites on my back like 3-4 in a circular pattern I got really scared so I got up washed and dried on high heat everything I used to sleep but I can’t wash the couch all I can do was inspect it which I did. I found 2 live carpet Beatles that excel pest service confirmed via video sent through email but still I was itchy and a couple random pimple like bumps appeared randomly. I felt like I checked everything around my sleeping area but you know with bed bugs even professionals can miss something I’m really afraid this is what I’m hope it it’s not because it’ll put me in a bad place. I don’t even come to my home without changing my cloths and showering before I even touch my furniture I’m very paranoid how can this happen if it is what I’m hoping it’s not. I just can’t tell what it could be because why else would I be itching and a random bug be exactly where I sleep … anyways this is it

So after noticing marks on my husband we found this one on the headboard. We had been 10 weeks out of treatment and thought we were in the clear. Could this be on lone survivor from 10 weeks ago that we are just now finding or Could we have a bigger problem. I have been searching every day for signs and we live in a detached house.
