bedbugs?

i moved into my uni accommodation on sunday, and have been waking up with loads of bug bites covering my upper arm.

i freaked out and texted my mum saying i think there are bedbugs, but she's sure there aren't - she checked the mattress when we first got here and said it's brand new, and there were no sign of them. but i'm not sure what else it could be?

im terrified of bedbugs. i can't see any blood or brown spots on the bedding, but the absolute state of my arms is more than enough proof that SOMETHING is biting me. this is in chelmsford, if that means anything to anyone.

i dont know. it's freaking me out. not sure what to do.
Do you think it could be mosquitoes?

if it was mosquitoes, wouldn't i be seeing them flying around my room? i don't sleep with windows open, or anything like that. that said, i can't really rule it out. looking at pictures of the different types of bug bites online, and they all look very similar lmao...

Hi

Sorry to hear that you having issues with your accommodation.

I would speak to your accommodation provider about the issues that you having and they will be able to provide further information as to what measures you should take.
