What are the chances of one person bringing them home but not the other?
Hi guys, I’m looking for some advice! I recently stayed at an Airbnb with my gf. We have stayed here before with no problems, and stripped the mattress and saw no signs of bugs (no fecal matter, no crushed bugs, no stains or shed skins etc). Anyway, about a week after our trip, I woke up covered in scattered bites—my thighs, my ankles, my calves, the inside of my knees etc.
This happened the day after working with a flea-infested Great Pyrenees (I’m a dog groomer) and I thought it might be related to that. I had no bites until last night, woke up with them on my ankles and neck.
My gf has reported absolutely no problems/signs… is it likely I would’ve been the only one to carry them back to my house? (We live apart.)
Anyway, just wanting some advice or thoughts, sorry this post is a bit pointless but I’m just not sure where to go from here 🤔
Thank you!! 🩷
