So when I picked this child up from school today he had one mark on his right arm that does look like a healing bug bite. When I asked him asked the child about the mark and if he used to have any others. The child indicated that he did have three on his left arm, two on his right arm, and two on his face. Dad’s E-mail to me was Wednesday morning so the child has not been in dad’s care since then. (that is the usual schedule as explained to me and mom signed child into school Thursday and Friday)
So for those of you that have dealt with bed bugs what does the bites look like? How long does it take for a mark to show up? And how long can the bugs live do they need to feed on humans like lice do?
Not sure if I can ask for a doctor’s note at this point there is nothing for the doctor to look at. Would it be unreasonable to let dad know that if this happens again the child will not be allowed back in care until he see a doctor and has a note indicating what the marks are and a treatment plan. I still plan on checking the child at pick up from school and when picked up from my house. For at least 10 weeks as there was 6 weeks between the last to episodes.
