[quote=Anonymous]This gave me a bed bug scare and I had a bed bug specialist/exterminator inspect all of the upstairs mattresses and places bedbugs hide - he found nothing, no feces or blood stains, no hidden insects - only carpet beetles.
If bed bugs had caused the multiple bites then there would have been a decent infestation and at least some evidence, especially to an expert inspector.  So now that that is ruled out, I'm stumped. Basically, I woke up this week out of the blue with bites in a line up my arm, and a huge number of bites clustered on my upper inner thighs, very close to my groin area. They itched madly for 4 nights and are now starting to calm down, which makes me doubt it's scabies (plus my DH doesn't have them, or any bites at all for that matter). They are small red bumps, maybe 20+ on each (inner) thigh. Again, this was out of the blue, I have no history of these bites or any kind of rash. I don't think an allergic reaction to carpet beetles could cause such a rash, and I haven't been outside enough to get chiggers. What the heck is this?? I'm scared to get back in my bed![/quote]
