    Hello all experts!
    I found this type of skin a few times around my mattress and now next to my dresser, and I am not sure what it is. Maybe a carpet beetle larvae (they look a bit hairy, almost fuzzy, so not sure)? Or bed bugs? I am worried terribly about bed bugs, but can carpet beetles cause serious harm as well?
    Please someone ID this and give me a peace of mind.
    Thank you in advance!

    PS - I do not have a size comparison, but 2mm long, 1mm wide.

    Not bed bug related. I'm relatively sure that it's a carpet beetle larva but I'm not an expert so don't quote me on that part.

    Thanks for the replies, helped set my mind at ease. Now have to find a way to kill CBs, I have a lot of those buggers and they are giving me some kind of an allergic reaction :(.
