im not a doctor but ill tell you what you can do. rub witch hazel and alchohal over your arms and legs for the bites. also you can wash and rinse with soap up and down your arms. then rinse with a towel

@ericdisney1 Thanks for the advice, but we're not entirely sure that combination will work for everyone.

I have2 small red dots on me. I found some thing when I was sleeping.i caught it between my finger tips it somehow flew out of my grasp before I could shine a lite on it. Do you know what this thing is ?

[MMEnvironmental]

@Beefmanjr Fortunately, bed bugs do not have wings and therefore they cannot fly so whatever you found must not have been a bed bug.

@TheWww420 Sounds like you should probably consult your physician for his/her professional advice on your case. Best of luck!

@MrAshtonRenae Good news, they only are out at night so in the day your fine, I wish you the best on finding them. Just think up till 2000 they were so rare people didnt even think they were real...

@paragonshadow Now I'm scared to sit on anything or get in my own bed lol - Getting investigation started

[paragonshadow]

@MrAshtonRenae They can be anywhere behind a poster or picture, Electrical outlet, your bed, your sheets, your clothes, If you have a chair you spend a lot of time in, floor molding, sealing cracks, around air vents, behind wall paper or anywhere and everywhere like that. They are made of pure evil.

I've been having hives and allergic reactions for about 5 years now and doctors could never figure it out - Their best guess was fleas - but no certainty, actually looks really similar to this - but I'm OCD so not sure if everything being super clean would allow an environment for them to grow? hmm
