The "breakfast, lunch, dinner" line was running through my head and I immediately freaked out and assumed I had bugs. My super called an exterminator who, of course, found nothing. I washed all sheets, towels, pillows, duvet, etc. in hot water and dried for 2 hours. The Protect-a-Bed casing is also officially on. Then, this morning, I woke up with a bright red blood stain, about 1/4 in. in diameter, on my pillow. There is no big bite on my face and there was no squished bug surrounding the area (i.e. to indicate I'd rolled over and killed the sucker). </p> <p>Is it possible for them to leak blood while they bite you, or to squish one without finding a squished bug in the process? My mom said it's probably just a nose bleed or something, but I've never had one and certainly not in the middle of the night.</p> <p>Thanks for any support you can provide! </p>
