No, those pins are positioned as if a “full circle” would be 8 pins. The bumps in OP’s pic are more like if a “full circle” were 6 points.

I’m just makin old man jokes over here. Save your pedantry for something that matters 😉
minorkeys@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Idk, but one more and the circle closes, the ritual is complete.

So many bites next to each other could be a bed bug. My understanding is that they’ll leave little black dots around the bites as well. Did you see any before? Otherwise, any of mosquitoes, or fleas.
shutz@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Bed bugs are usually in a straight line (they follow your veins). Could this be something other than an insect bite?
FireRetardant@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I had what i suspected were bed bug bites and a few times they would bite in a cluster somewhat similar to this. I moved out of that apartment and haven’t noticed any bites since but never actually confirmed i had bed bugs.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
they bite in 3s as well.

Thank goodness, there are 2⁷ ways to cure that.

Real talk, check your shit for bed bugs. THEY WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE IF NOT DEALT WITH.
Tikiporch@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Bed bugs. The internet will tell you they bite in a straight line, but that’s horse shit. Look up bed bug bites and you’ll see clusters like this, too.

Just chiming in to agree that you’re gonna need to burn your house down
JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
No need to burn it. Just bake it for a few days. They can’t handle the heat.
Just one if the perks to living in the monument to man’s arrogance.
sirtwinklebottom@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Bed bugs for sure. Took 2 years to get rid of the bastards as they ate us alive.
ekZepp@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Don’t worry, they aren’t bites. Just spider eggs.
Tangent5280@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
This brought back Bedbug based paranoia I thought I had laid to rest nearly a decade ago so thanks for that.
I hope you have a speedy and painless solution to our problem, but I’m really glad I’m not you OP. My god, if I never see these bastards again it will be too soon.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
fun fact if you have bats in your area, they also carry bat bugs, which are relative to bed bugs and they can also infest your house too. there is a theory that bed bugs evolved from bat bugs, also they look alike.
Tangent5280@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
This is the opposite of a fun fact. I’m going to sneak into your house and steal your fingers for typing it
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Wait what. It’s illegal here to move bats once they’ve picked a home. How do you prevent bat bug infestation
Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
Can’t have bedbugs if you don’t have a bed. knock on the head
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I WISH those little fuckers worked like that. Bed bug PTSD is real.
Awesomo85@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Right there with you. I had to fully encapsulate my mattress (which was a brand new memory foam), spray poison all over everything, then heat treat the entire room until my blinds melted…TWICE!
My wife still freaks out if she sees a spot of dirt on the sheets.
Tangent5280@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
My situation was a dorm room situation I couldn’t get out for a WHOLE FUCKING YEAR. The caretaker didn’t give a shit, all my dorm mates slept with a lighter close by, lighter fluid was traded around like cigarettes and blowies in a jail yard.
We got our revenge on the asshole caretaker though, the bugs managed to infest that guys room too. Unlike us he couldn’t just get up and leave at the end of the year. Fuck that guy.
If I have to travel, I keep my luggage out the door and check the entire fucking room like I’m Brezhnev’s Soviet security detail in the 1973 Washington summit visit. No stone unturned, no corner or edge left unchecked.
Fuck Bedbugs.
Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
It’s been 10 years since my bedbug nightmare. The bugs are long gone, but I’m still inspecting the mattress and box spring cover weekly with a magnifying glass, and blasting my laundry with hot water, high heat in the dryer, and sprinkling diatomaceous earth all the fuck over.

AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Bedbugs. If you can, get your house above 120° F and keep it there for at least two hours. If not, CONSTANT VIGILANCE, and constant deep cleaning of everything is the only way I have seen them beaten without poisons.
dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Warning: this will destroy medication if it’s left out. You may want to move your pills to the refrigerator first (after first checking the temperature - see article).
Actually, if you live in a hot climate and don’t use A/C, you should probably do that anyway.

…If you can…

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
Where I live, we’ll get to 100° on hot summer day without AC, so it wouldn’t take much more to get it up to 120°.
nukeforyou@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
diatomaceous earth works well. but it gets everywhere
Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I think windows 10 bit you, and the actual bite is loading
TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
spider. they bit multiple times.
MintyFresh@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Idk why this is getting down voted. Spiders usually bite in a line, not that weird it’s a c shape. Impossible to tell without more info. But I’d bet spider.
TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
when ur on the internet, nobody knows u r a spider
remon@ani.social 2 weeks ago
Downvoted because it’s extremely unlikely. Spiders rarely bite in the first place and 5 times is bordering on absurd.
Spiders usually bite in a line
Utter nonsense. Where did you even get this?
Impossible to tell without more info. But I’d bet spider.
It is indeed impossible to tell, but betting on a spider is one of the worst bets you can make in this case.

Impossible to tell without more info
One of the only completely honest people! Even doctors and entomologists rarely are confident enough to diagnose the specific cause just from images of a bite…
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
you would see puncture marks.
sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Bedbugs as someone else said. If this was at home clean the fuck out your house. Like, deep clean. Twice. Check the seams on your mattress and pillows. If you have a clothes dryer throw in everything that is safe to put in a dryer. Leave it in there for at least an hour. You can’t imagine the psychological terror of having a potential infestation. You need to fight back hard.
Nora@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Are you sure this is bug bites and not a rash or infection, like ringworm for example?
AA5B@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yeah, I also tried searching and rash came up as at least the same possibility
MelonYellow@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
My vote is bed bug. I’ve had a few encounters while traveling. It’s happened to me in a C shape before, once. Although not as tight of a C shape as yours.

I touched poision ivy once and it looked like this. If it doesn’t go away like a normal mosquito bite, might need to get it checked out so you can get the prescription cream.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
contact dermatitis also does that randomly.
Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Pray you don’t get bit again before it finishes loading
folekaule@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Looks like your Windows 11 update is almost complete. Or it could be fleas, bed bugs, or lice. I’m not a bugologist.
JargonWagon@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
bed bugs tend to bite like that where it’s all grouped up together and I think sometimes in a line.
