My s/o’s brother invited us camping two nights ago. He rented a “cabin” as he called it (it was really a small wood shelter w 3 beds and a mini fridge and each shelter was on top of each other there was no privacy) which was fine. But my mind said “bed bug heaven” A few years ago I had a personal fight w bed bugs at an old apartment after my neighbor brought home some furniture from the side of the road so im forever scarred. We drove an hour out so I flipped the mattresses didnt see anything and decided to put it out of my mind. We got there pretty late as it was a last minute type deal so we unloaded started cooking and I put my kids to sleep my daughter in her pack n play my son in strapped in a seat because I didnt want him to roll off the bed. Me and dad and his brother were up late around the fire and we had forgotten bug spray so i expected to wake up w lots of mosquito bites. However I thought these looked a little weird??? My s/o doesnt have any bites, neither do my kids. Im the only one. Not sure ab his brother. I was wearing shorts and sandals the bites are only on my feet, ankles and on my left leg they go up to knee length. I remember shooing some mosquitoes I felt on my feet throughout the night so maybe I’m just paranoid but it seems like theyre just too ”lined up”.
Bites while camping! mosquito or bed bug?
Did you ever figure out what they were?
I didn’t bring anything home (thank GOD!!!) so…Im guessing not bed bugs. But they took weeks to go away completely which I’ve never experienced w mosquito bites so I’m still not sure of “what”.
