Comments & ID Thoughts

Found at night in the bathroom. I’ve been previously bitten by something while in bed, developed a very painful ulcer, needed antibiotics and developed a scar.

I have no way of knowing what caused the wound. Blood sucking insects are more likely culprits than spiders but if one gets in your bed or clothes and you roll over on to it it could happen.
