I've been seeing these tiny bugs that look like bed bugs, and it's been about two days since I started spotting them. I've seen about 3, but I'm not sure if they are bed bugs, because when I wake up, I don't see any bites on me or anything. Please help, and tell me what they are!
Most people are not allergic to bed bugs. So even if the bed bugs are biting (they actually puncture the skin), you will see no skin reaction (other than a small puncture, which you many not spot). I'd suggest checking the mattress and box spring for small brown fecal spots. Check under labels and behind the plastic box spring corner guards. There are insects that are confused with bed bugs including beetles and young roaches. I've attached a resource with pictures of bed bug bites and pictures in insects that are confused with bed bugs. I'd suggest capturing one of the insects and sending it to Identify LLC. You can also call a local cooperative extension office or department of health to see if they have an insect ID Service.
You should probably change your sheets and pillows....
it doesnt matter if they are bed bugs or not...do you really want to sleep in a bed with wildlife in it? i would change my entire bedding just to be on the safe side, it is super expensive to get rid of bed bugs so i would try to nip it in the bud and try to disinfect all that i possibly could.
