I was staying at the Conrad Condado Hotel in Puerto Rico this past weekend, and on the 3rd day there, I noticed 9 "bed-bug-like" bites on my upper thighs. I've dealt with bed bugs before in my apartment, so I knew what to look for and what the bites looked like. I've researched online and have found a couple reports on the hotel of bed bugs. Some places say that it's possible that these are sand fleas/flies or whatever, but I don't find it possible for them to have bitten me on my upper thighs when they were covered all day and night. The bites are both scattered and in lines with a total of about 9 or 10 "bites".
To describe these bites in more detail, they are NOT itchy, not raised at all (flat), probably about 1 cm in diameter. I really have a feeling these are bites. I didn't do a very thorough search on the mattress or other furniture there, so it's still a high possibility. I know that people who respond to this post might say that "there is no way to diagnose that these red spots are bed bug bites or something else", but I've been in this situation before and it seems highly likely they are bed bug bites and not "sand fleas".
I was stupid and left my luggage on the floor in my apartment today, but I'm at work and can't do anything about it until I get home. Could I also have brought it to my apartment once again? I'm scared out of my mind right now and can't go through this nightmare again. Any advice or words of comfort would be helpful, thank you.
