I have recently moved into a new apartment (not new really about 200 years old) in Edinburgh a month ago. Over the last week or so I have been itching a lot lately on arms, legs and ankles and have noticed some little red bumps. I am sleeping on a sofa bed that came with my furnished flat. I was thinking perhaps it was infested with bedbugs - but I can't see anything - dried blood or otherwise on sheets or mattress. I am a very clean person... shower daily, vacuum and change sheets weekly, etc. And I haven't lived here long enough to accumulate old food in cupboards, etc. (food is obviously kept in a separate room anyway from where I sleep). Well after another itchy night, I got up this morning and when going to make the bed, noticed something on my bottom sheet. Upon closer inspection it was a live maggot or larvae tiny little worm disgusting thing! It was very small (thin grain of rice size)off-white, with a brown head and light brown line extending down it's body. No legs that I could see, but then again it was quite tiny. What the heck is this? Why/how is it in my bed? What do I do? I ripped all the bedclothes off immediately and am washing them in hot water. I did not see any others in the sheets, mattress pad or mattress... Does anyone know what this is and/or have any suggestions about what this could be or what to do about it? I am completely freaked out and am too embarrassed to go to my landlord about it. Have you ever heard of such a thing? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
