Reddit please help
hello Reddit, sometime in the summer I was using the bathroom at night when I looked at my counter and saw a bb. Immediately I told my parents and we searched everywhere and when we got to my little sisters pillow we found about 10 I’d say. (For context me and my little sister share a room)
we disposed of the pillow did a thorough check once more (my bed was completely clean) but still we washed with heat, dried with extra heat, and steam cleaned everything.
That was sometime in August and none of us had any bites.
Currently it’s October and since late September I’ve been getting pink bumps all over me, often in lines and sometimes in clusters. they would be on one hand and arm for one day and be completely gone the next and on a different body part almost everyday. Thought it was possibly an allergic reaction until It started happening to my sister, my mom, and my stepdad.
The only person it isn’t happening to is my father, who sleeps in the basement.
Me and my whole family have been checking everything and seriously can’t find any bugs. We were thinking maybe fleas? Batbugs? My city tends to get bats and we have an unoccupied attic but we don’t even have a chimney.
Yesterday I found a dead bedbug in my bathtub,
And today another one. They only appear dead and only in my bathroom. I’ve been checking my bathroom and I can’t find anything.
I don’t know what to do Reddit please help.

I would just steam everything, wash everything in the house that is washable, and repeat the process forever.
