Bed Bug Bites

Before, we live in a rented old house. It is big for both of us and maintaining the cleanliness was hard. We only prioritize to clean the bedroom, living room and kitchen. One day, I did my general cleaning in those unattended rooms. After doing so, I noticed that I have tiny red bites on my legs. I never really saw it until it was itchy. I was just worried about it and my friend started telling the symptoms of bed bug bites. I really can not tell what insect that bit me because I did not see it. I bought an ointment to ease the itchiness so; it helps a lot. According to my friend, I probably got it in the old upholstered love seats that we have in the patio area. It is very common for bed bugs to nest in chairs and love seats. She notices also that the bites look like a raised red bump or flat welt. The red mark is the allergic reaction to the anesthetic which contain in the bed bug's saliva that was inserted into my skin. The bites were like mosquito bites but, they last for longer periods. She may be right with these observations though.
