Are these bed bug bites ?

[Cranberriesandtea]

Just randomly found these bites whilst feeling around on my tummy. Not itchy AT ALL, scratching them produces no sensation. My bedding is clean, I've inspected my mattress, pillows and sheets to see if there is any evidence and it's all normal? Also inspected the dogs like a mad woman and nothing on them either and they are flea'd monthly. I can't sleep thinking about it 🤢

No idea but I've got some too. Mine itch though.

I've checked the bed, stripped and washed bedding. The cat is flea treated and I've got one of those flea sprays for fabric and used that everywhere too.

My son has some similar. Not in clusters like that just singularly in places. One comes up a day. I have no idea what they are. He scratches them though so they scab. I've changed his bedding, vaccd the room they are still appearing one a day

Maybe harvest mites? Especially if they are where your waistband is or bra straps. They like to settle in tight clothing. Breadsoda rubbed into sofa and carpet gets rid if them.

They do look like flea bites, but they would normally itch. I think you'd see specks of blood on your sheets if it were bed bugs (and you probably wouldn't have considered it an option if the Paris outbreak wasn't in the news?).

Is your window open at night? It could be a random flying insect that's made its way in.

@DoYouSmellCarrots yes they are on my waist band! I will have a look at harvest mites thanks, my partner who shares the bed doesn't have any so it might be my clothes (I recently pulled winter stuff from storage and didn't wash these particular trousers before wearing them)

@StarbucksSmarterSister I've been phantom itching all day, had a full body check this morning and no more have popped up, still not itchy!? Someone else has mentioned Harvest mites so I'll check them out 🤢 can't be doing with this!

@LubaLuca yeah it was the bed bug viral tiktok that has freaked me out also because the NHS says they are in a line which these are. They aren't itchy and apparently bed bugs are super itchy so I'm more relieved. Absolutely no other evidence on my bedding that there are bed bugs nothing at all. I'm on high alert but no more spots have shown up so let's just hope it was a trapped mozzie or something
