    Bed bug bites
    I have recently left an apartment infested with bed bugs. I left all my furniture most of my knick knacks stuffed animals books. The rest of my stuff is stored outside.I have not even brought any of my clothes in yet and it has been four months. Now all of a sudden I have these red dime sized bites on my arm. Are these bed bugs and where the hell did they come from as everything is either left outside or gone

    First question: did your skin react the same way when you knew it was bedbugs?

    Second question: are there any puncture marks evident in these "red dime sized bites?"

    If both answers are no, then I'd look at mosquitoes or chigger mites as a possible diner. Fungus infections are another possibility.
