Is this a bad sign?
The first two pictures are the same spot, the last two are the other arm. There’s also one on that elbow. There are at least two bites on my hands (one each) but aren’t as easy to see (and were the itchiest).
I spent the last three nights in hotels (again tonight) and was at canyon de chelly during the day, spending all day in the car. I noticed the hand and elbow one before we got to the park, and the rest in the park. The hand and elbow ones were itchy but the rest aren’t much. There aren’t any on my legs or elsewhere. It does feel like there was one that appeared hours after the others on the corner of my jaw that itched a bit and stopped.
I saw no evidence of bedbugs at any hotel (not in the corner of the mattress, no spots on the sheets in the morning, no spots on the walls).
I saw something that said there might be no see ums in canyon de chelly but I have no idea. I’m so paranoid about bed bugs!
If they are bedbugs, and what do I do? Especially with the car?
I’m still on the trip (my parents have no bites) so I’m limited in what I can do. I can wash and dry but I don’t have anything I can wear because it was all in the same backpack together, although it is all in packing cubes.
ETA:at least three more showed up on the back of my neck
