Paranoid we might have bed bugs

Woke up this morning covered in bites, initially thought some sort of biting insect but a friend mentioned they looked like bed bug bites - eek!

Much frantic googling later and evidence for is

  • look similar to photos of bed bug bites
  • woke up with them

Evidence against

  • no sign of anything after lifting mattress taking off sheets
  • sheets were clean on yesterday after being washed at 60
  • i share a bed and partner is unaffected
  • i spend a lot of yesterday gardening which included sitting/crouching in longish grass.
  • we haven't travelled involving staying elsewhere for ages or had visitors

Wondering if there's any way I can rule out bed bugs for sure. I'm going to be really paranoid going to bed tonight.

Gardening is probably the reason. Certain times of the year I get bitten so much I won't go out there.

The thing is, I've only been bitten in areas covered by clothes....
