    My daughter stayed at a friends and came home with some sort of bites on her. My husband thinks it is bedbugs and I think it could be chiggers. There is about 20 total bites. How do I tell a difference? Should I take her to see a doctor?

    Chiggers are a form of mite, and you get bitten if you have been outside in tall grass. I think you should phone her friend's parents and see if they have a problem to substantiate it is bedbugs, which I think is the most likely. Infestations are quick, so she probably has them in her clothes that were worn home. Or it could be flea bites if they have animals. I don't think taking her to a doctor will do any good because you don't have the creature to show him.
