WHAT are these bites?!

Alright, bloggers.

SO.

Remember how I posted about those giant (presumably) spider bites waaaay back in October? And then posted again how I discovered over five thriving webs in my bedroom and sprayed spider killing spray all over?

Well. The bites went away for about one week. So I thought I was victorious. I could just imagine those spiders holding up a tiny, white flag in surrender (which is a sort of cute image, isn't it?) as they marched out of my bedroom.

Then. The bites came back.

Bigger and worse than EVER.

Freaking out, I scheduled a doctor's appointment to get a professional's opinion as to what these bites could be. The doctor was also clueless as to what the bites were from. He said they didn't look like bed bugs (I've had my mattress checked for those) but also noted that spiders generally do not bite unless provoked.

"Well. I don't know if I've upset the spiders or not," I pointed out to him. "I did destroy their webs."

He noted this was a valid point.

The doctor thinks these bumps may not even be bites but an allergic reaction. They have only appeared on my arms, and Rachel has strangely not been bit once in the six weeks I've been experiencing these red bumps. Whatever is happening to me is definitely contained to my bedroom. 

I left the office on the verge of tears. I was just so frustrated. I am also a huge worrier. Most of all, I wanted an explanation behind my unsightly bumps.

My sweet mum arranged for an exterminator to come inspect my apartment on Tuesday, and I feel hopeful that he will have some answers for me. I don't care what is going on- I just want to fix it, you know?

Bugs- if you are reading this, please stop biting me. I am in a wedding in a few weeks, and I cannot be waltzing down the aisle with red bumps all over my arms.

UGH.
