Bite- Bed Bug or Spider?

[cblossom123]

I get bitten once every few nights in the same spot...on the area of my arm right above my elbow...it is only one or 2 bites...I have washed my sheets checked for bed bugs as I thought this was the cause...but someone said I would be getting bite more offten and more than just one bite.  The bites have a litle red mark in the center and look like huge misquito bites...they welp up.....and itch like crazy...any ideas?

     Get some Kleen Green and spray your mattress, bed and floor.   Wash all your bedding with hot water.

    Spread diatomaceous earth all over the floor, carpet and in the crevices where the floor meets the wall.

      Hope this helps.. Wishing you the best

Bed bug bites are small, and there are normally many in a row. Also there will be many bites than just a couple most of the time. I had bed bugs once and had so many I mistook it for a bad rash because the bites didn't really look like bites. So you could just have a misquote running around or maybe a spider.

I would look it up or ask a dr, but bed bug bites I have seen are red circles that look similar to a rash. I have heard they sometimes have a white spot in the center but when I had them they were red circle rash like. Good luck

i had issues with small bites like that. repeatedly and would welp up. it wasnt bed bugs. i moved my whole bed to discover spider web in the lower corner on the bed. they were all dead bc i sprayed before i moved the bed. these bits welped up because they iched like nuts and im actually allergic to bug spider bees misquitos all those bites. my mother never tod me i was of corse lol but i moved as well and since discovering i never had an issue again. maybe just spraying and moving the bed to find out if there is anything behind there.

  Spiders generally bite in self defense only and not on repeat
days. What you are describing sounds somewhat similar
to a bed bug bite. I had this concern myself a while back
which can happen to anyone. I had to have an exterminator
spray the apartment to get rid of them.
  There are also other types of biting insects as well such
as fleas and tics. The signs of these insects
being present isn't always detectable.
It might be worthwhile to see a doctor so
they could determine the cause of the bites.
Then if its something that cant be taken care
of on your own an exterminator might be needed
to follow up.
