My son came to me really irritated and told me that his back was super itchy. I pulled up his shirt and there was a cluster of 10-15 bumps on his back. I started panicking! I didn't know what they were or how he got them. He was so irritable because they were super itchy! I put some Cortaid on them and started to call everyone I knew! I took pictures of the bumps & started sending them out for people to look at and give me an idea of what it could be.
My husband happened to be working that night, so I had sent him these pictures.
Here are what the bites started out looking like, more like welts than bites!
Here are the bites a day after,they are more defined now and look less like welts. They itched my son for about 3 weeks!
My sister suggested they may have perhaps been chigger bites. I didn't think so after googling chigger bites.
I did some of my own google image seaching and everything kept coming up as bedbug bites. I saw a few images and the bites sure matched my son's bites!
I called my husband in devastation and told him I thought we had bedbugs! He sighed and said "no, we would know if we had bedbugs."
I called my mother who worked at a motel and had a little experience with bed bugs since motels are a place they also thrive! She told me to strip my beds and do a thorough seach along the seam of the mattresses as well as doing a search on the boxspring.
I was stumped, I found nothing! I didn't see any sign of bed bugs at all!
What were these bites? Where are they coming from?
Later you will see where it all makes sense!
