On Wednesday I noticed what looked like an insect bite on the back of my ankle. I thought it was strange for this time of year but didn’t think any more of it.
On Thursday I woke up with two more on the same ankle, two on the crease of my knee and one on my thigh.
I panicked and thought of bedbugs and had a look and couldn’t see anything. I decided I’d get someone out to double check and on Thursday night I came to my dad’s house. I put my clothes into a plastic bag, had a shower and put on brand new clothes and slept at his house.
On Friday I woke up with another bite on my foot. I rang the pest control people and they said it was unlikely to be bed bugs because I haven’t been away in the last couple of weeks and because I’m not covered in bites, but to move furniture etc to check. I’m going home with my dad to do that and so stayed at his again last night but today I’ve woken up with another bite, this time on my thigh.
By last night I’d convinced myself it was flea bites because of the location of them. They do look like flea bites and lose the red colour entirely when I press on them like flea bites.
But I can’t work out where they’re coming from. I thought maybe my car but on Tuesday and Wednesday I borrowed my dad’s car. I haven’t been home since Thursday so surely not my house given I’ve got a new one today. I’ve been other places - pubs, shops, the office etc but each only once since Tuesday.
Has anyone got any idea what they can be? It’s making me really stressed.
