I'm getting bites every night but no sign of any bug (driving me insane)

I recently moved to the northeast of Spain to work in a shop. The apartment is right behind the shop, so it's the same building/space. It's an old shop with old things, but they deep cleaned it before me coming. I went a month ago for two weeks to learn everything and it was cold and I was fine. But now I've been there for two weeks and every time I wake up I have weird small bites.

I have a dog and she is protected in all the ways (collar, pipette, and even spray repellent). She has short hair so I inspected her several times and she has nothing, not even bites I'm the only one getting bites. I inspected the bed several times, even the mattress and there's NOTHING. I deep cleaned the sheets, I even put my dogs spray in the mattress and bedding and I still get bites every night. I checked my dog's beds and they are all fine, there's nothing there. I saw though, that there's small blood stains on my bed sheets, but I don't know if it's me scratching them without realizing at night.

The first pic is how the bites look when they appear, the other ones are scratched ^^' They are not super itchy though,.. once I scratch them once and the "liquid" from inside gets out they stop itching.

I have mosquito allergy and environmental allergies but normally my mosquito bites don't look like this. Normally they are huge, with a bump, all swollen, with a pus bubble on top. Could it be maybe baby mosquitoes? Cause it's raining a lot here and there's mosquitos already, and some of them are really tiny. I have a light that kills bugs but when I go to bed I turn it off since it's super shiny. Also I have a mosquito repellent on all day but it's far away from bed cause I have no plugs near the bed.

I've looked everywhere and found nothing, I'm literally getting insane trying to find what is it. If you read until here thank you, all help is appreciated!!

Also the mattress is new, and all the sheets and everything is clean, and I clean the space and my dog stuff regularly.

I'm a little disappointed at how they treat breakups

I'm watching the show from start to finish for the first time (used to watch some random eps on tv) and overall I really like the show, it's been my comfort show for the past months. However, one thing I feel uneasy about are how they treat the breakups.

I'm at the Hollywood arc right now and Ryan just broke up with Max and yeah she's sad but that's it. They just treat it like a normal thing in this show. Same with Andy and Zeke. Caroline was head over heels with Andy and then bye, I know they had different views relationship wise but like not even a small comedy cry moment eating ice cream or something? And with Zeke I felt sad, I loved that couple and they were really cute, they LOVED each other and then out of the blue bye, and the next ep like nothing happened.

I know it's a comedy show but even in other comedy shows they give it more closure and importance idk... it's like relationships don't matter at all in the show and it makes it feel really cold sometimes... like nothing really matters and they don't care about each other.

I almost die of an allergy attack (never been allergic)

Hii!! I'm new here since I recently suddenly got food allergy apparently.

I've always ate a lot of nuts, peanut butter, almonds, hazelnut, pistachio, love them, always been fine.

I have though season allergies and dust and polen kinda allergies, also to cats and dogs a little bit, but never goes more than itchy eyes, sneezing, sore throat and runny nose. This year the polen energy WAS brutal in my city, and I was having a really hard time with lots of antihistamines. Then I went to work north my country, in a coast area, and the air and everything was perfect, finally was able to breath through my nose again. But three days in I suddenly got an allergy attack out of the blue. I started sneezing super hard, my throat was super itchy, and my nose was runny and couldn't breath through it. Then my throat started closing and my skin was burning and itching and red. I was like, this is an allergy attack this is what happens in movies and I literally have minutes to stop it. So I run to the hospital and they have to inject me adrenaline and cortisol because when I arrived at that point I almost couldn't breath at all (anaphylaxis). Man, one of the scariest moments of my live. I was at urgent care for 6 hours, a little bit longer to get there and I'm not here to tell it. They asked me what I ate and I told them almonds, so they told me to avoid nuts until I got tested (mind you I ate almonds my whole live and a day before that too).

Fast forward, I was a week on antihistamines again but really scared because they didn't know what caused the attack and I wasn't back home so I couldn't get tested. I was almost not eating anything suspicious and walking with a face mask all the time.

When I got home I got tested and they put emphasis on the almonds, turns out, I am allergic to hazelnuts(??? I haven't eaten hazelnuts in months, and when I did I was totally fine??

Also kinda disappointed with my doctor because I asked her if that was a food reaction or ambiental, and she was like we can't know bla bla and I was asking her things to know more about this new aspect of my life and she was so rude about it all the time. Like, if any of you know, is this reaction possible by dust or polen, or is it most probably food related? Because I kept working on that shop as I am right now and I'm fine, and I have been around cats a lot and I have a dog and I never got an attack like that, maybe a runny nose and some sneezes.

Is it possible to suddenly be allergic to something? They have to run a specific nut test in some days and run a blood test but still... now I have to be careful about what I eat and I'm not used to it. Also my breakfast for the past 10 years have been oats with almond milk and peanut butter, so adapting all the time to change those eating habits and routines has me a lil ugh.

Right now I'm looking at a pack of cookies I wanna eat, reading the ingredients and says, may contain nuts, and i'm like f+ck itttttt TT I'm craving so many things I can't eat. And also a little scared all the time I might have an attack again for contamination or not knowing that thing has nuts.

Thanks to whoever read it so far just wanted to rant a lil❤️
