Well, I'm new to the forum. And I joined specifically to share something odd that happened to me recently. I woke up one morning a while ago, went into my bathroom like I always do, stripped down, and prepared to take a shower. But when I stripped down, I looked down at the inside tender spot of my leg ( Having felt a bit pain down there - Sort of like I might of been punched there ), and I saw two marks. - Well, my first reaction was "Oh, big deal.", and then I started paying closer attention to the marks. I got a measuring stick and held it to them and then held it to my own teeth, noting the basic length between each canine teeth, I know the marks were too big and too far apart to be anything like a bug bite ( Unless I've got a spider big enough to eat a friggin cat in my house ) and found that, actually. These marks were the same basic length apart as human teeth were.
I wasn't able to find my camera phone the first day, so I kept looking. Out of good luck ( As the wounds had already healed quite a ways over the next day or so ) I found my camera phone and quickly snapped these two shots one morning - ( Yes, I shaved the area of my leg off so that the marks were more visible. With the hair around them, it's a little harder to see them ) -


So.. Does anyone have any comments? Speculations? Thoughts? It's rather strange to have something like these just randomly be there one day. Theres no way these wounds could of been created by accident.

Could be bedbugs, but they usually go for face and extremities as those are closest to where they come out of the crevices. Do you have any of these marks anywhere else on your body at all.

See, I might go for this if it weren't for the fact that I'm an ungodly neat freak. I mean I am really anal about my things and I keep everything clean. There are no bed bugs. As for these marks anywhere else? No. Thats why I posted this thread. It's so odd that they should appear this way and I've never had them before in my entire life - They were much worse the morning I woke up with them, in fact they were lightly bleeding. So, I don't know.

I've got a dog, but like I said. The reason I used the phrase "Unless I've got a spider that could eat a friggin cat" is because these wounds were pretty bad the day when they happened. This was a few days or so after they first happened ( My cell phone was under my bed and was out of battery when I finally found it ) - But they were lightly bleeding the morning when I first found them and it was pretty painful. Like I said. Felt like I'd been punched in my inner leg.

Very interesting! But in anycase you could wash your bedding daily, and you will still have dust mites.
That is unless you have a hypoallergenic mattress that these dust mites cannot survive in.
But as far as these dust mites being able to cause this is highly unlikely, because you would have had occurences
like this before! And you don't seem to be allergic to them either. Because if you were it would be in more places
than just that one area on you're leg.

I think there are so many simple explanations for the wounds at this point, that I wouldn't worry yet. (Could have been a spider or an insect of some kind biting you twice on the leg.) I've been bitten by a brown recluse spider while I was in bed--I didn't realize it until the next day when the lump formed on my neck. I had to take anitbiotics to heal it--a huge crater formed inside the original bite mark.
Also, I used to wake up with scratch marks all over me. I found out that my feather pillow had one end of a feather poking out (the sharp end) that was making all those little scratches. I threw out my feather pillow.
However, should this happen again after you've checked your sheets and set out spider traps in your house, I would start to be concerned that something else was going on. Are you normally a heavy sleeper?
Keep us updated!

Yeah, most probably spider-bites. I've had very similar ones to yours. They're much too small for puncture wounds, IMO.

When I wake up in the morning (or afternoon), I have bites like yours on my legs many times. But mine are a single and not a double. It's probably some spider or other bitting bug that happened to bite you two times. I had a mosquito do that to me once. I hunted her down and killed her.

It looks like two bug bites(fleas, bed bugs, mosquito, spider) that just happen to be spaced in that way. My experience with bug bites is you usually don't get just one. They can be over-zealous little boogers. Certain bug bites can be painful and can bleed - especially spider or ant bites.

Too small to be puncture wounds and like I've said, these photographs were taken a couple of days -after- the wounds showed up, so they're considerably smaller and considerably healed. Wounds do last that long on me - I am a Martial Artist and I train daily. Wounds are nothing new and my body seems to heal faster than most peoples, take for instance, these.


Now those wounds are considerably worse than the camera shows. At the time when they were made, my hands were dripping blood, and I was able to move each cut like a pair of lips - This is the third napkin I went through -

By which time the wounds have nearly dried up. Now it's been exactly three days since those deep wounds were made and down my finger there are remnants of the wounds, but only one at the very bottom half of the wound line remains really visible. - So, I'm not sure if I just heal faster than others or what. But something that size heals pretty darn fast on me.
To answer another question, no. My leg doesn't hurt any longer aside from the normal bumps and bruises I get with training. - I clean my sheets daily as was suggested and I'm almost positive there are no spiders. The fact that the wounds are so perfectly lined up and spaced apart in the way they are is the thing that disturbs me. That would have to be one precise buggy to make wounds like that.

No burning. No.. It was just like the inside hurt, the muscles. You know what I mean? - I mean, picture this. If you've ever been frogged, you know what I'm talking about. When someone hits you in the muscle and it screws the muscle up? Causes a lot of pain.

A dog or cat would scratch before they bite. As a general rule of thumb you stick a limb out before you stick your head out. Mostly they would be either scratching to get away or scratching trying to hold on to your leg as they fall off. But is is very rare for a cat or dog to leave just a tiny puncture mark. Usually my cats leave a puncture mark with a little scratch that didn't bleed, but the scratch mark is still visible. People who have animals know about these things. And I don't even think dog's claws are small enough to do that. It would have to be a cat who has never had its nails cut.

And like I said, I don't have a cat. Just a dog.. And if he bit me, he's big enough that I'd know it and his teeth are spaced too differently as compared to these marks. As for me being a heavy sleeper? Yes. Very.

Oh, no. LOL.. The fingers were me, dude. I mentioned it happened during Martial Arts training. I was breaking bamboo with my hands, which is considerably harder than your typical boards and if you don't break it -just- right, it shatters and creates blade-like strips. Thats where all those cuts came from. Any mistake I made sliced my hand.

You describe a tender spot around your leg, near the area on which the marks were found? Hmm, it sounds like you received an injection of some sort. I'm just throwing ideas out there, you could've been injected with something, or it could've been an irritation of the skin as a result of a bug/flea bite?

Doubtful. I would of felt it like you said, and.. If I'm outside, I'm always wearing my Shaolin robes. Or mostly.. Which, in case you're unawares are not the type of pants anything could get up. You wear the pants which are tight at the waste and legs to begin with, but you wear the monk socks over the pants, closing the pants up entirely, and then you wrap the monks socks with ties, and wear a pair of shoes over the socks. So.. Yeah, no. Nothing could of gotten up there. No way, no how.

Well maybe they got in your pants leg during the night in the house while you slept? It does not matter how much you clean your house, bugs get in, maybe not many but they do get in. You said you have a dog, well something could of gotten a ride with him/her ( no flea/tick/bug repellant is guarented.)

It's very possible. But it doesn't explain the initial size or deepness of the wounds. What I've tried to make clear over and over is that they were quite healed by time I found my camera phone, charged it up, and actually took a picture. I wish I were able to take it earlier, but I wasn't. The fact that there are two wounds so precisely spaced like that lead me to question whether it could just be a bug. That'd have to be an awfully precise bug to hit me two times in a line like that, spacing them out in such a way.

I didn't say I have super healing powers, now did I? I just said that I heal abnormally fast. Which, I do in fact. No wound stays on my body for more than half a week maybe. It heals up and scars over in that time.
