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.
WTF BIT ME?

Shingles?
ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Is it itchy? I get cold urticaria and it sometimes looks similar.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 months 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 5 months 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.

diatomaceous earth works well. but it gets everywhere

…If you can…

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 months 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°.

I think windows 10 bit you, and the actual bite is loading

5 mosquitos.

Looks like 3 fangs plus another set and a half.

Found hundreds of these on my entire body once. Never happened again, never found out what it was

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 😉
Tangent5280@lemmy.world 5 months 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.
Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 5 months 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.
Awesomo85@sh.itjust.works 5 months 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 5 months 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.

Can’t have bedbugs if you don’t have a bed. knock on the head
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I WISH those little fuckers worked like that. Bed bug PTSD is real.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 months 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 5 months 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 5 months ago
Wait what. It’s illegal here to move bats once they’ve picked a home. How do you prevent bat bug infestation
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Just chiming in to agree that you’re gonna need to burn your house down
JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 5 months 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.
Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Real talk, check your shit for bed bugs. THEY WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE IF NOT DEALT WITH.
wowski303@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
a bug from fediverse trying to create the ‘Fedibite’
sirtwinklebottom@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Bed bugs for sure. Took 2 years to get rid of the bastards as they ate us alive.
Tikiporch@lemmy.world 5 months 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.
kibiz0r@midwest.social 5 months ago
Probably a flea, based on this: brightside.me/…/10-bug-bites-anyone-should-be-abl…

Are you sure this is bug bites and not a rash or infection, like ringworm for example?
AA5B@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yeah, I also tried searching and rash came up as at least the same possibility
MelonYellow@lemmy.ca 5 months 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.

There was a fire bite!!!
bjorney@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
If you’ve had chicken pox before and have had mysterious pain/tingling on an arm/leg on the same side of the body as those for the past few days it could be shingles
I just had it at 33 last week and it looked very similar to that when it first popped up
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 months ago
this looks more like contact dermatitis. varicella has very distinctive pox marks, and shingles, i had it clusters alot as a rash.
folekaule@lemmy.world 5 months 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 5 months ago
bed bugs tend to bite like that where it’s all grouped up together and I think sometimes in a line.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Sorry, that was me. Your flesh just looked delicious, and I thought “Well, I COULD go for some tasty drinking of the blood of the innocent…”
You just wouldn’t be as tasty if you had murdered someone and were guilty.
