All of these are the same, tried to get better angle.
So my son woke up again today with 3 new 'bites' or whatever they are. Took him to the doctor (Phys assistant) yesterday and she said my oldest had poison ivy (no exposure to it though) and the little one had flea bites -- not bed bugs becuase they only bite in 3's!! Except for the first day of these markings my youngest has not had too many new ones (if any) and they sleep in the same bed.
When I went to check out the bed, this morning after seeing his arm, I found this in it.
Thanks for helping me again!

Today I had a pain in my left arm and now I'm going to do open heart surgery on myself. I heard that pain in the left arm means you're having a heart attack so I know I need to perform surgery asap.
Sounds ridiculous right? Tell your doctor to stick to what they learned in school and I'll do the same.
Now - The picture you posted is not bed bug related.

LOL! When she said that it couldn't be BB because of the lack of three bites I stupidly bit my tongue :< I guess the whole degree thing sort of intimidated me -- even though I knew she was wrong. She seemed absolutely shocked when I told her that I had them recently and quized me on how I knew!
I think I may bite the bullet and sleep in the kids bed because I know what my reaction is to them then I could be more sure what is going on.
Thank you for the quick reply! All of you experts on here have been such a godsend!

lol .. You're welcome.
I talk with doctors all the time who tell me "they" have bed bugs because they know what the bites look like. I tell them I just left my doctors office which is located in the parking lot of Home Depot. =)
They laugh and get the point rather quickly. When we level the playing field and start talking about common sense most of them get it.
