What's biting me 😭😭

The last few nights I've had a couple of bites. It started with one or two on my ankles and now I've had them on my arms. They are really itchy. Ive literally spent 2k on our mattress a few months ago 😭. We do have a dog and dh has been gardening the last week do you think he could have brought something in with him I really don't know what to do.

They look like classic mozzie bites. Do you sleep with your window open? Try some antihistamine cream to soother them and get a citronella plug in for your bedroom and other rooms on your house.

Lights on a Windows open are the quickest way to attract mozzies inside!

I agree with pp, they look like mossie bites. Its probably living in your bedroom. I tend to draw any out the same as moths. Curtains shut, light on. Swatter nearby. Me for dinner. Never fails 😄

Could be flea bites? ( They love ankles and behind the knees)
But if your dog has the pills from vet that stop fleas, it probably won’t be fleas.

Flea bites are often in a line / group as well.

Those don't look like flea bites (and def not bed bug bites) to me. More like midgies.

Thanks everyone I haven't been bitten the last few nights so 🤞
