Bug Bites

I hunted this past weekend in west central Iowa. It got into the 70s on Fri and 60s on Sat. I am finding bug bites from head to toe. They started popping up yesterday.
I was afraid of bed bugs in the cheap motel I stayed however my wife slept next to me 2 nights in a row and she has nothing so Im hoping it was from the field.
I went though some tall grass public land. Wondering if it was chiggers? Its mostly single bites. The itching was so intense last night I kept waking up.
Any ideas? We have gone into full bed bug mode. Everything got quarantined and washed but probably not enough to stop the real thing.
 
Hunted both mornings, I was done way before noon and the real warm temps. No bites on me. Sounds like you were near my part of the state, what county were you in? The real question is: How was the hunting?
 
I'd be surprised if it was from insects in the field.

Bed bugs would be my guess. No way I would even consider hunting in those temps.

Best to avoid that cheap motel again too.
 
Bed bug bites line up in a row where your skin meats the fabric.. pretty easy to diagnose. If it’s true, get all your luggage out of the house! Spending 50 nights a year in a motel I’ve seen a few

No rows and mostly on my hands and wrist. Arm, leg, neck. It doesnt add up to bed bugs.
 
Ill take anything over bed bugs. But Ive never had an allergy in my life and Im pretty sure these are bug bites. I think I got into something in one field. I was surrounded by tall fox tail looking weeds over my head and I was pushing hard. Birds were popping all over me and I was shooting and pushing with my dog. It was a melee for 15 min. If I figure anything out Ill pass along.
