Hi all, I just spotted a carpet beetle on my duvet on my bed. Two nights before I woke up with some bumps on my arms and hands that I actually thought were bed bug bites, but after some helpful identification from Reddit, I'm now thinking that they were perhaps the "carpet beetle rash," since the bug I captured is a carpet beetle, and in fact, not a bed bug.

If you do I would inspect them very closely, especially the underside or parts of the rug beneath furniture (the carpet beetle larvae like to hide).
