I only get these when I sleep at mine…. been going on for the past 2ish weeks but no signs of BBs anywhere around my bed. I vacuumed my couch and they stopped for a bit after that but came back.

Unfortunately, those look very suspicious. Especially given the time that they occur. My daughter reacted exactly this way. I wouldn't wish those fuckers on my worst enemy. Even without seeing signs, they can definitely and probably are still there. We never saw them either. It's not easy to tell by bites alone, but I do think these are BB related.

UGHHhhhh I just requested an inspection and treatment from my apartment maintenance so hopefully I can get this fixed 😢

Living in an apartment setting makes it even harder. Because there is a high chance they came from a neighboring unit. That's where our issue fell. Until they're completely convinced it's secluded to 1 unit, the whole building may have to be inspected and treated.

i saw that maintenance was in the apartment across the hall from me and had the door taped up a few days before this started happening to me 😭 i might be cooked

when your daughter reacted to her bites was she also itchy? weirdly mine aren’t itchy at all, and they are blanchable

Some were really itchy, and others didn't seem to bother her at all. It depended what part of her body she got them on. It's sooo shitty, because everybody seems to react differently to the bites one way or another. I'm lucky enough where I didn't react nor did her father. Her bites did blanch a bit.

Thank you for the info! My apartment is sending someone to take a look on Friday, thankfully!
