🗣️ Can You Help?
I’m posting this in the hopes that someone out there has seen something similar and can help identify it. It’s alarming not knowing what’s biting you, and even more unsettling wondering if it might happen again tonight.
Have you experienced anything like this? What helped you figure it out? Please share your insights, advice, or guesses—because at this point, I’ll take any clues I can get!
⚠️ Final Note
If you or someone you know suddenly develops similar marks, it’s always a good idea to rule out environmental causes and check for potential infestations. When in doubt, consult a medical professional—because some bites, especially from spiders or mites, can carry risk of infection or allergic reaction.
Mystery bites on my arm—and no clue what caused them. Have you seen this before? Let me know what you think!
