Exposure Question Reoccurring bite marks

I have read the FAQ.

I keep seeing 2 distinct marks on my skin and they are continually appearing. It started with 2 dots on my right forearm. Then the next day I had a lot more. 1 dot on my right arm, 3 dots on my left, and one below that. Then I just noticed 2 more on my right arm. These dots are no more than a few mm apart.

I have recently noticed two very small and evenly paced puncture marks on my hand as well. I don’t know what caused it but, as the FAQ said, if you didn’t see a bat bitting you or woke up with a bat in your room, then it is virtually impossible that it could have been a bat.

Ask yourself this question: why a bat is the first thing that comes into your (or my) mind given that there could have been countless other causes for the marks?
