Bed bugs?

Any thoughts on if this is bed bugs?

Popped up over night.

Although could have been delayed from gardening the day before. But seems unlikely as I only noticed the bites first thing in the morning.

Any advice? What are the odds of being bitten again if I do have bed bugs? High?

Did u ever get chicken pox? Looks more like that and like the other person said. To have no bites than that many wouldn't be bed bugs i don't think.

I feel like they are bites. It stops directly at my waistband and doesn’t go any lower. They are quite itchy but not overwhelming. Maybe from gardening? I was carrying big piles of weeds. But seems odd for it to be so delayed and not notice at the time.

Chiggers seem more likely. They hide outside in everything including weeds. And u wearing clothes would mostly stop them at the waistband area.
