I was sleeping at my boyfriends house and one morning when I woke up I discovered 3 different clusters of bites on my right arm. They were no other place on my body. The one cluster has about 9 bites. This passed weekend I received about 3 more bites on my right shoulder as I slept. The bites seem to be turning into small scabs, what could have bitten me?
