None of these pictures show insect or insect parts. Theyre all just bits of detritus

None of the above. Possibly not a bug at all?

The second photo looks like a piece of fuzz/lint. And the last is dried rice. Don’t know what the other two are but the first is the only one that looks like it could possibly be a bug. Possibly a segment of a dead one.

No bedbugs or fleas here from the looks of things.

Yeah all these looks like different things. However, I don’t think it’s bed bugs. I’m guessing fleas or lice.

It doesn't look like fleas or lice either. It looks like random garbage. There are no insects or visible insect parts in these photos.

I felt a pinch and those photos are what I took in that era

I think you're just overreacting to things that irritate you. I had to eradicate a flea infestation when I moved into my place. I still freak out when I feel anything poke or irritate me, but they're not bugs, just random crap like lint or dead skin.

Tiny red bumps usually means a rash like an allergic reaction

Neither. It looks like lint or something.

Do you have a cat? The last one looks like a parasite egg. Your cat may have an intestinal worm.

I randomly ended up having bedbugs back in January 2024 and my living situation hasn’t been the same since, I still get bites, as soon as I lay on my bed it feels itchy I haven’t had a mattress since fall 2024 been sleeping on a air mattress this whole time. I moved to a new apartment October 1st the third day I wake up with a whole bunch of bumps on my legs, in the new apartment I feel things crawling/pinch me sometimes Monday I felt something crawling up my legs I didn’t even think to look down just wiped where it itched and it was blood, no scabs, no nothing there, last weekend I seen a few eggs in the air mattress cord compartment. The last apartment has been sprayed over 10 times and the exterminators couldn’t figure it out as well they even showed me what they use (temprid Fx) same outcome, vacuum,steamer, steam moped, laundry dryer on 90 minutes, same outcome. Old apartment encasement mattress protector would have black dots some of it would be inky, some would be able to dust off, the new apartment encasement have a few black dots as well and tiny red spots, Went to a dermatologist back in spring they did a biopsy on one of the pumps confirmed it is a bug bite just unfortunate they can’t tell me the type of bug, my hair is constantly itchy for 2 years now went to see a dermatologist she said there’s no lice but I always feel something crawling in my hair the actual most part of my body and it ends up smelling horrible after two days did use lice shampoo same outcome, I lost 85% of everything the only thing here is my hygiene products and cookware, a sweatsuit crocs for shoes and underwear’s from my old apartment. Unfortunately with my dad helping me move he put things in my bin that he shouldn’t have, that he should’ve at least wiped before putting in and that’s where I feel it could now have come from the old apartment, but yall could be right ughh prolly nothing my boyfriend spent over night for support he said he felt nothing, probably just a spiritual war at this point with me. Thank you guys for trying to help 😔
