And proved that the pricking and crawling sensation on me is not psychological because now I'm not feeling anything...
Somehow I hope I could feel them since that would at least prove I'm just paranoid but now...

Hi,
Sometimes the pricking crawling sensation is something physical in the environment not just insect based.
If you find that it returns a few days after it has dried it may be a static interaction issue. i see a small number of cases where post BB's people have these issues.

Thank, David. Maybe it is indeed, the chair is all metal (with four climbup interceptor under) and I am completely naked (awkward as it may sound, I find this most comforting ever since the bb issue...)...And after like one hour the sensation did return now...
Hope that bloodspot on my edge of blanket and the bites on my back are just false alarms...

Hi,
The only way to tell would be to look for confirming signs.
I always view blood spots on sheets as a sign of the need to investigate but infestations can only be confirmed by:
- Fresh faecal traces
- Fresh cast skins
- Live samples
The naked situation reduces static risks unless you wear socks or house shoes. I have to say as it hit 31 in London today naked is the best way to be, there is almost zero AC use in domestic settings and its only really available in posh offices which mine is most definitely not.

Even though it is not rare to see people naked on the upper half in my hometown I still find being completely naked in my own unit is such a funny thing. I'm not wearing any socks though, and my feet are on the chair, too.
I'm sorry to hear that there is no AC there, maybe with a fan and some cold drink it would be easier...?
As for the other signs related to the blood spots, I've been checking but found nothing so far. It is actually an anywhere bed with some sort of linen on the bed frame and the air mattress is supposed to be stuck into the linen. I on the other hand just put the mattress on the linen after I washed it in the bathtub and dried it one the shower curtained hunger and smeared it around with Vaseline. I'll keep watching and see what happens.
