Nope.

Baraeus

Do you have pets with fur?

We've had a cat for 5 years. She's never had pet allergies before.

Not saying it’s pets, but allergies can change over time

How many “bites” and how long do they stay swollen and itchy?

Two to five at any given time. Often in different areas and not clustered.

Really sounds like bed bugs to me, especially if the bites are in groups of 3

Me too- and bed bugs can bite under clothing as well. Is the bite swollen hard

7:11am

They don't get hard, just swollen and itchy.

Baraeus

Could be urticaria; welts can be allergic reaction to something or even stress

7:07am

Yes but they usually don’t have a “bite” mark and are short lasting. I asked

7:10am

Has she been close to any Utes or Sun Devils?

WallaX2

Could be allergic reaction, my son had papular urticaria….we thought it was bed

Up to 30% of people do not react to bed bugs so even if you are not getting bit
