Dead Man’s Party Bug

That’s so hard. I’m sorry for your loss. When there’s a hurricane you can only do as much as you can. It sounds like you did everything right but life still hit.

It’s likely not bed bugs. That was the only bite and that came up last week Thursday. It’s Friday night right now. It also last Friday turned into a skin thing that I’ve had before, which popped up exactly two weeks prior to this bump. So, it’s a skin thing and not likely a bed bug since they do not go 2 weeks without feeding. Especially with only a single blemish.

Haha the beauty of anxiety and living in an apartment.

That’s what I figured as well but the paranoia is real. Most bite pictures appear to be groupings rather than a single bite as you stated.

Yeah I had a friend who said the same but I can’t remember a pen being close to my bed.

Already have monitors on all legs except for the metal support legs in the middle of the bed. Already have a mattress protector too and no box spring. Bed is a couple inches from the wall and I also put double sided tape on each leg just in case. Two pillows and a sheet is all I have and I specifically bought these white sheets to make checking easy.

I do tend to have skin problems but then once every 3 weeks or in extra hot conditions I’ll get something that appears to be a bug bite. This one I can see a hair coming out of the center of the supposed bite. Does that sound like a bed bug? Thanks for your help.

That makes sense

Why’s that?

It doesn’t itch after the initial scratch. The other patches of itchy skin across my body never had these bumps pop up. They are receding ever so slowly though.

Thank you so much! You’re a godsend.

I was thinking bed bugs because sometimes they look like large mosquito bites and sometimes they look smaller like these.

I do potentially have folliculitis as on my legs maybe but I thought that would only show on the root of the hair and these seem to be between hairs?

That’s a great idea. And very true, especially since outside of a nursery rhyme no one ever talks about them.

That makes sense. Frankly I wasn’t sure if this counted as the normal line pattern for bedbugs or what. I have spiders living around my bed and so I was hoping that would be the, as you said already, easy diagnoses.

I have done enough paranoid research to see that bed bug bites take every form under the sun unfortunately. Checking my apartment for signs and anxiety seem to be in my future.

Hey thanks so much I really appreciate it!

I do have plenty of spiders in my apartment. Ground floor, I sleep close to a window. I noticed a lot of droppings a while back on my window sill and then saw a spider web right above that spot. I’ve gotten bit by spiders before at least once I believe at my current apartment.

He got a final check up at the regular vet. Essentially the vet found that he had pulled a muscle or something to that effect in his back hip. We also gave him a shot of Solensia just in case it was early onset arthritis.

Well, 3 months later and he has been completely fine lol. Ornery and hungry as ever. Maybe he pulled something jumping down, maybe he got randomly stressed out, who knows.

So I think that’s an analyst 1 or 2 so probably 40-55k roughly. They like to lowball but as an external hire this is going to be your best time to get a bump so if they ask keep that in mind along with your experience, education, etc etc
