My family and I are traveling and I thought it was all the cats at my mothers house, but then when we stayed at a motel the next day my 3 year old son woke up with about 6 red bumps on his back. They kind of look like small mosquito bites. I know ring worms are a possibility, with the cats and everything, but I have had a breakout with them and that's not what they look like or feel like.
Then when we were cleaning up this morning I threw the top blanket on the bed and what did I find a brown recluse spider:eek:... I killed the spider and left in on the table in between the beds. The housekeepers never came by to clean this morning and now I am kind of confused on what to do. We did search for bed bugs too, because as I mentioned we looked through the beds to see if we could find anything.

I know it's a brown recluse spider because I looked it up on the internet, however that is not what the bites look like. Both of my boys have bites on them, they are 3 years old and 1 year old. Me and my husband however do not have any bites.

What should I do?

It would be pretty unusual for a brown recluse to bite so many times, the bite would probably resemble a bee sting or wasp sting that then turns numb then turns black and blue like a snakebite(I was once bitten by one of those spiders on the finger) And actually finding a brown recluse is also unusual, that's why they're called recluses, they hide and you usually don't see what bit you. It really sounds more like bedbugs and they are in some of the finest hotels, and can be pretty hard to find. I would put long pajamas "feet pajamas" on the kids if sleeping in unfamiliar beds, like a tick bedbugs can't bite through clothing. Could so many bumps also be an allergic reaction to the laundry soap that hotel uses?
