[quote=Anonymous]DD wakes up in the morning with what look like small mosquito bites on her torso. This started to occur last summer, and I took DD to a dermatologist who said they look like bug bites. We had a pest control company check for bed bugs (we even had them bring in the sniffer dogs) and they found no evidence of bed bugs and couldn’t figure out the issue. We brought in a second company and they said same. Both are reputable DC area pest control companies.

DD then went back to college and had no issues (she came home very rarely this year and none of us can remember if the problem occurred over winter break).

But the problem came back again when she arrived in May. These look like small mosquito bites, although I guess could be a rash, and they are all over her front torso, and now she may have some on her arms, too (she works outside, so can’t be sure the arms ones aren’t actual mosquito bites).

We wash all bedding weekly and use free and clear detergent, and DD uses the same detergent at college where she didn’t have the problem.

DH wants to replace her bed frame (wood) and mattress and bedding - I say those are expensive and without knowing what the issue is, we may unecessarily replace them or may replace them only the have the problem infect the new ones. But I am at a loss for what to do next.

I would appreciate any ideas what these could be or how we could further investigate.
