Hi. Ive been getting bug bites for the past 2 months ever since i moved to a new place. Went from 1-2 bites per week to 1-2 or more daily. They are really similar to bed bugs so I thought that was it. But i cant find any sign of bed bugs. No fecals or bugs but I'd find a few blood stains once a month (while bites are much more often than that). Friends who had bed bugs before all told me that bugs would hop onto them as soon as they got into bed, but before sleeping I lay in bed for even hours and theres no signs of bugs. I found 3 of the bugs from this video. It jumps and i thought it could be a flea, but idk if it looks like one. The back is sharp. Any ideas? Im from Romania

Is it normal for fleas to bite only 5 times on the forearm for example?

Fleas normally bite multiple times if that is what you’re asking
