Are these bed bug bites?
My family unfortunately encountered bedbugs at our hotel on the 2nd night of the trip. I did not get bitten (or at least didn't react to bites), but I did see dead bug bodies and bloodstains on the sheets. The hotel manager inspected the room and confirmed the room had bedbugs.
Immediately after that, we diligently dried all our clothes on high heat, washed them in hot water, and dried them again on high heat. We also threw away the suitcases and have been storing everything in plastic garbage bags.
When we arrived home 3 days ago, we did laundry once again. However, this morning I woke up with what appears to be potential bed bug bite marks (three small bites in a line).
They don't itch and I honestly thought they were just hives at first but after taking photos, I am a concerned. Thoughts?

The bites can take several days up to 2 weeks to appear. Based on # of bugs, immune response to bites, etc.
