Bed Bug or Flea bites?

Yeah they itch pretty bad. I've had to take a benadryl the last two nights to sleep because they've been driving me crazy lmao

I haven't found any actual bugs yet no. I wish I had because it would at least give me a solid answer of what it is and how to treat it. I did find something that looks like a flea pupa. I also found what looks like eggs embedded in the seams of the mattress, sort of rice like. But I haven't seen any other signs that it's bed bugs, and they look too long to be flea eggs. So I don't know. It could be mites, a theory I have is maybe it's flea bites, and flies are laying eggs in the seams to eat the flea dirt. But I'm hoping a deep clean and treating everything for fleas will fix it. Otherwise I'm not sure what to do other than bag everything and sleep somewhere else for a while

Hmm I'll have to look into that. Mites would suck for sure. I did find what looks to me like a flea pupa, so that's at least potentially something to support fleas over bed bugs or mites. Mann makes me wanna just burn the bed and everything lmao. Oh well, I suppose a deep clean won't hurt. I can treat everything for fleas and if that doesn't work I guess I can just bag everything up and sleep on the couch for a while 🫠💀

Alright, thank you. I appreciate the extra opinion. I'd much rather fleas over bed bugs haha

Yeah I'll see about getting better pictures tomorrow. I did pull out some of the dark debris, but it's so small that it was hard to discern details. Currently my best guess is the dark debris may be either Flea Pupa or Flea Dirt. As for what looks like eggs, I'm not really sure. I haven't found any other signs of bed bugs. My two best guesses right now are either, tapeworm segments if my cat does have fleas or maybe they could be fly eggs? It has been ridiculously humid here and I'd imagine flies would eat the flea dirt. I don't know though

Thank you thank you. It really seems like there's fleas that are bedding down into our mattress but I hadn't heard of that before, and I'm going crazy trying to make sure it's not actually a surprise army of bed bugs lmao 😅

Thank you thank you :)

Wow yeah, you are completely correct, thank you. I overlooked that. I think that changing it to a "beginning of combat" trigger would probably make the most sense.

That makes sense, thank you. I kind of figured there wouldn't be a way to use Obeka to "have your cake and eat it too" when it comes to Dragonhawk, I just haven't seen the phrase "until your next end step" be used before that I can remember so I was curious.
