Came home with these after traveling

Partner was traveling on tour and stayed in a few airbnbs. I included pics at the end of what the bites looked like the day he got home. But they’re a lot more red now, as seen in the first handful of pics. Itchy at first but not as much days later.

There are a couple random singular bites on his forearm and one on his outer thumb.

Bed bugs are one of my biggest fears so pls help if anyone has seen something similar. I had him throw all his clothes and backpack in the dryer on high for an hour then wash it all on hot, then dry on high as well. Stripped his bedding and did the same.

Haven’t seen anything so far but it’s only been a few days.

If this is what I fear, what is the likelihood of bringing actual bugs home from traveling, and what can we do preemptively to prevent an infestation from forming? We’re moving in together in a month

:-(

Bed bugs or something else? They started off lighter but look like this now, 4 days after getting home. Not really itchy anymore but they were originally. There’s a couple individual bites too. One on the lower back, one on the thumb, and two on the shins

Bed bugs or something else?

Partner just traveled for a few days, planes and airbnbs. Came home with these bites. There’s a few singles ones on the back and arm as well. Slightly itchy. Bed bugs, fleas, something else? What should we do :-(

Back from traveling, BB or something else?

Wondering if these looks like bed bugs or more like flea bites? These are all on the feet, there’s one random one on the back and on the arm too. Slightly itchy. What should we do :-(
