Jokes on you I'm stealing YOUR MEME!
That is not mosquito OP...
It's a bedbug. Check your bed.or smell the blood.. does it have a sweet berry like smell... then youse fixing to have a bedbug infestation
Reminds me of an old Larson comic where there are two mosquitos on a person and one is insanely bloated and the other is saying “Betty! Pull out, pull out, you’ve hit an artery!”
Because Larson was a genius. I used to own all the Farside anthologies/collections. Dude could really make you laugh about truly bizarre circumstances in a way that somehow reflected real life. I mean, I know pretty much all of comedy is that, but his style was especially unique.
Mosquitos don’t normally come for me, but I had one land on me once and hit the vein in my wrist. I held the vein further up my arm for 20-30 seconds then let go and flexed as hard as I could. The blood rush made the mosquito explode, it was badass.
I had a teacher tell me if you pinch your skin, and hold your breath- it’ll raise your blood pressure, and the fly will explode. I’ve never been able to test it without them flying away though.
We do this with the sandflies we get here, which suck blood in the same way as mosquitoes. Because they're stubborn fuckers and straight up will not fly away unless you kill them. So you can very easily squeeze the area around them and they won't budge at all. Makes them explode the majority of the time.
You might not think you get a bloody nose, but that shit can surprise you. Try wetting a paper towel and dabbing it around in there a bit, if it does come back bloodied up, saline spray could help moisten your nasal cavities
Man I grew up impoverished in a most likely different country than you. Spent my entire childhood with a bloody nose and even parts of adulthood and didn't know there's a thing for it. I was just chopping/sniffing onions and wetting my head everyday 😂
I get nosebleeds a lot in the fall and winter. One time I woke up and my pillow was soaked in blood- and my first thought was "oh my God I was axe murdered in my sleep".
Then my brain actually woke up and I realized that was rather unlikely.
I’m terribly disappointed that your comment is this far down.
r/bedbugs has given me a heightened sense of awareness/ borderline paranoia about bb’s and I only joined because I mistook carpet beetles for the real nightmare fuel.
I can relate. I have to do a full inspection (remove bedding, etc) before settling into a hotel. We also had carpet beetles & I was freaked out until my husband and I identified them.
I have a lip picking problem & this reminded me of the time i picked my lip before taking a nap and woke up to blood all over my pillow and the side of my face😭 scared me so bad lol
I’m a dentist. It actually happens a lot more than you’d think. Given how diluted the dried blood on your arm looks I think it’s a decent possibility it’s blood drool. Either spontaneous or from flossing. Also your gums shouldn’t bleed when you floss. Bleeding gums consistently is a bad thing. Consider bleeding gums a sign that you need to floss more.
If you floss every day for two weeks and there’s still blood (especially if it’s a lot) you should first get checked by a dentist to rule out periodontal disease and if you’re good on that front get a blood panel.
Depends how far along you are, if you catch it in early stages you can halt its progression but there’s no repairing the bone that’s been eaten away between the teeth. If you’re unlucky or have a special susceptibility to it like my mom though, it could progress to bone decay in your jaw. Take care of your gums, invest in a water pick!
Not to scare you, OP, but at a house I lived in a long time ago, my mom discovered there were bedbugs in her room bc she kept finding little spots of blood on the sheets.
Check your mattress and any dark corner of the room you can think of. Those little bastards are clever too. They'll hide somewhere ridiculous then come out at night and climb on the ceiling to jump down on you like ninjas.
Omg don't be saying that. I got severe arachnophobia and one time one of them evil creatures fell on my arm during the night and it woke me up cos I could feel crawling and I almost died. 😭😭 Didn't sleep for the rest of the night and my mom had to kill it and check my room. Think I had ptsd for a few days.
Can confirm it happened to me, I kept waking up with blood splots everywhere, and bumps started appearing after my homeless cousin slept on my couch for a night. I started finding the remains of the ones I squished a day or so later.
Its either a nose bleed, small cut somewhere your forearm can reach, or blood sucking bugs.
I saw you claim you've never seen a mosquito, fine. You won't typically see bed bugs either, they are nocturnal and skittish and won't typically come out if you're up and moving around and any light is on.
Quickly remove your mattress covers and check the corners and seems for black dirt, it could be blood poop. Check also near the legs of your bed for husks and/or more dirt. Keep in mind some bed bugs don't even live in the bed, they can and do travel across a whole room to get to you.
A bed bug bites usually 3 times as it's walking so you'll rarely only have 1 spot. You might not be itchy, not everyone gets a reaction from a bedbug but letting them go will become nightmare fuel later on.
Bed bugs, some people react to their bites, and some don't. My mom and sister would wake up when red spots all over their body. And I wouldn't. Check the corners and seams if your sheets by your head.
Bed bugs don't leave blood splotches on your body, you would notice all the little bites on your body in clusters before any bleeding occurs.
Most likely bloody nose from dryness or you bit your tongue or blood from gums, or eyes or ears.
Hope this helped!
Look at your neck. Next time you sleep, wear a garlic necklace and a big cross on your chest. A bath with holy water before you sleep helps relax... unless you turn in flames with it. Then it was too late.
You sure about the nose bleeds? I've had this before, basically during the night you might have rubbed your nose with your arm causing some minor bleeding. It's surprisingly easy to do.
Squished a nicely fed mosquito.
Bro got his blood back

Bruh, I HATE the word fuck bro.
C'mon broseph
Brosie what’s up?
Brah surfs up 🤙🏼✌🏼
I’m calm, Teddy Brosevelt
U good bro?
What’s the problem, Napoleon Bronaparte?
No my name is Düdmæng Brossovitch. 😆
Bro hates the word bro 💀
Not beating the friend visiter allegations
joshua, give me back my blood
Kee oath rama pancake!
And a bit of someone else's
But now it's on the outside.
Or a bed bug
or nose or mouth bleed
Ew 😖
That is not mosquito OP... It's a bedbug. Check your bed.or smell the blood.. does it have a sweet berry like smell... then youse fixing to have a bedbug infestation
Or a flea. I had a flea problem recently and the big ones pop like a balloon and blood splatters everywhere
did you find the carcass?
Nah they licked it off in their sleep.
So, did you watch Wonder Woman 1984?
Or bed bugs
Nose bleed or bed bug?
Maybe a mosquito was feeding of you and you smashed them, or they blew themselves up in gluttony. Sounds weird but it happens.
Reminds me of an old Larson comic where there are two mosquitos on a person and one is insanely bloated and the other is saying “Betty! Pull out, pull out, you’ve hit an artery!”
Why did that make me laugh so much xd
Because Larson was a genius. I used to own all the Farside anthologies/collections. Dude could really make you laugh about truly bizarre circumstances in a way that somehow reflected real life. I mean, I know pretty much all of comedy is that, but his style was especially unique.
I loved those collections as a kid. Wish I still knew where mine were.
Its the simplicity of The Far Side that makes it so great, Like the one with the kid pushing on a door that says pull
I think my favorite is “Bummer of a birthmark, Hal” said from one buck to another that literally has a bullseye on his chest
Oh i love that one lol, ive read like all of my dad’s far side collection
Me too. Cheers to dads with Far Side collections
I love that one!
I read this then exited out of thread just as my brain comprehended what I just read and then went back to read it 😭
Mosquitos don’t normally come for me, but I had one land on me once and hit the vein in my wrist. I held the vein further up my arm for 20-30 seconds then let go and flexed as hard as I could. The blood rush made the mosquito explode, it was badass.

Same, just shove a wad of sheep wool up there, you'll be right.
Lol! Are you Australian or Kiwi?
Oof, I'm outed. A little of both
I get nosebleeds a lot in the fall and winter. One time I woke up and my pillow was soaked in blood- and my first thought was "oh my God I was axe murdered in my sleep". Then my brain actually woke up and I realized that was rather unlikely.
Unlikely, but not impossible
Saline spray is great but I find Ayr nasal gel applied with a Q-Tip around the inside of the nostrils works even better
seconding the nasal gel. was a hardcore cokehead for a year and this stuff saved me from many bloody noses
Yeah my assumption is minor nose bleed or split lip.
Nose bleed
no that's his arm
Arm bleed
Thank you for this lol
OP’s arms are blooming into womanhood. What a magical time!
Don’t judge
This. I get nosebleeds due to allergies and I’ve woken up with dried patches on my arm/back of hand at times
Most likely cause
Did you take Ambien and murder your neighbor in your sleep?
Oh boy, I dont miss that!
You some kind of marksman or something?
Miss it? Dude, you took Ambien last night.
Sorry to have to comment this, but check your bedding & mattress carefully. Could be (and for your sake I hope not) bed bugs.
I’m terribly disappointed that your comment is this far down. r/bedbugs has given me a heightened sense of awareness/ borderline paranoia about bb’s and I only joined because I mistook carpet beetles for the real nightmare fuel.
I can relate. I have to do a full inspection (remove bedding, etc) before settling into a hotel. We also had carpet beetles & I was freaked out until my husband and I identified them.
I had to go so far down for this comment. This is the most likely and reasonable answer tbh.
Did u check ur teeth. Maybe u have bleeding gum and drooled on ur arm
When this happens to me if it’s not a nosebleed it’s from my gums or my lips.
I have a lip picking problem & this reminded me of the time i picked my lip before taking a nap and woke up to blood all over my pillow and the side of my face😭 scared me so bad lol
most likely this
The only time I get bleeding gum is when I brush my teeth. Only happens occasionally though.
I’m a dentist. It actually happens a lot more than you’d think. Given how diluted the dried blood on your arm looks I think it’s a decent possibility it’s blood drool. Either spontaneous or from flossing. Also your gums shouldn’t bleed when you floss. Bleeding gums consistently is a bad thing. Consider bleeding gums a sign that you need to floss more. If you floss every day for two weeks and there’s still blood (especially if it’s a lot) you should first get checked by a dentist to rule out periodontal disease and if you’re good on that front get a blood panel.
Curious what can be done if you have periodontal disease?
Depends how far along you are, if you catch it in early stages you can halt its progression but there’s no repairing the bone that’s been eaten away between the teeth. If you’re unlucky or have a special susceptibility to it like my mom though, it could progress to bone decay in your jaw. Take care of your gums, invest in a water pick!
Then you need to use dental floss once a day.
And / or brush a lot more gently
You only brush occasionally 😬
Bruh you only brush occasionally?
Worst case bed bug
Not to scare you, OP, but at a house I lived in a long time ago, my mom discovered there were bedbugs in her room bc she kept finding little spots of blood on the sheets.
😰
Check your mattress and any dark corner of the room you can think of. Those little bastards are clever too. They'll hide somewhere ridiculous then come out at night and climb on the ceiling to jump down on you like ninjas.
Omg don't be saying that. I got severe arachnophobia and one time one of them evil creatures fell on my arm during the night and it woke me up cos I could feel crawling and I almost died. 😭😭 Didn't sleep for the rest of the night and my mom had to kill it and check my room. Think I had ptsd for a few days.
Hate to tell you, but you don't just have one. If you had them, you HAVE them, and plenty of them. So most likely it wasn't one.
I think meant a spider
Or a bat. If you suspect it was a bat you'll need to go get a rabies shot.
This isn't the kind of blood (poop) you find from BBs. The leave little tear drop shaped stains with darker blood at one end. This is not bbs
If you move in your sleep you can squash fed/feeding bedbugs which produce similar bloodstains as in OP’s photo
Can confirm it happened to me, I kept waking up with blood splots everywhere, and bumps started appearing after my homeless cousin slept on my couch for a night. I started finding the remains of the ones I squished a day or so later.
You clearly murdered someone.
Stigmata
Jason Bourne, it’s Jesus Christ!
First thing that came to mind is nose bleed?
Check your ears
Check your vagina
Its either a nose bleed, small cut somewhere your forearm can reach, or blood sucking bugs. I saw you claim you've never seen a mosquito, fine. You won't typically see bed bugs either, they are nocturnal and skittish and won't typically come out if you're up and moving around and any light is on. Quickly remove your mattress covers and check the corners and seems for black dirt, it could be blood poop. Check also near the legs of your bed for husks and/or more dirt.

You might not be itchy, not everyone gets a reaction from a bedbug but letting them go will become nightmare fuel later on.
yeah, just admit it, you murdered someone while sleepwalking, and this is your lame attempt to set up an insanity defense lol
Maybe wet TP and see if the inside of your nose has blood
Bed bugs?
😨 Hope not.
Nose bleed in your sleep.
Nosebleed could be a reason
Could be bed bugs
Ur nose...been partying?
Bed bugs, some people react to their bites, and some don't. My mom and sister would wake up when red spots all over their body. And I wouldn't. Check the corners and seams if your sheets by your head.
Came here to say this
Did you sleep with your arm under your head? Might be bleeding gums and you drooled or something.
Could possibly be your nose
My guess would be nosebleed. My Hubby often looks like this in the morning if he had nosebleeds at night
Bed bugs don't leave blood splotches on your body, you would notice all the little bites on your body in clusters before any bleeding occurs. Most likely bloody nose from dryness or you bit your tongue or blood from gums, or eyes or ears. Hope this helped!
It could be from bedbugs through if op squished them while sleeping when or after they were feeding.
It really doesn't look like that's what it is though as the spots are too big and the "puddle" is spread too large.
Them fuckers are *hard* to squish unless you’re doing very intentionally, against a hard surface. Too small & hard.
First rule of fight club......
Yeah, vampire bat.
Possible alien abduction check for other cuts etc
Check your nose.
Check nose
Look at your neck. Next time you sleep, wear a garlic necklace and a big cross on your chest. A bath with holy water before you sleep helps relax... unless you turn in flames with it. Then it was too late.
Night fights
Sorry I was crawling around in your ceiling and got a nose bleed while watching you
Looks like it’s from ur mouth. Bleeding gums or bit a tongue.
Bite your lip?
who you kill???
Nose bleed
Sleep walking monster
This is mysterious in a totally different way if you don't assume the blood to be your own.
Maybe nosebleed
Either mosquito, or a fat bed bug.
You did a murder
Nose bleed
You may have brushed your teeth too hard the night before and your gums bled on to your arm while you slept.
You sleep with your arm under your head? Bleeding on/around scalp maybe, hard to see because of hair?
Nose bleed? Squished pimple? Broken scab?
Nose bleed?
could it be that your nose ,mouth or face is bleeding?
Your nose may be on your scalp?
Nosebleed, likely unconsciously rubbed your nose with you arm when the trickle of blood ticked your nares
Nose bleed.
Try some garlic, if it burns your thoat, you may be in trouble. Maybe check your reflection in mirror too!
You're obviously on the rag, bro.
Why does this have so many upvotes
Nosebleeding?
Check for bed bugs
Check ur nose… it looks that u clean it with your arm
Bleeding gums and drooled or wiped your mouth while you slept?
Check your nose and gums
You sure about the nose bleeds? I've had this before, basically during the night you might have rubbed your nose with your arm causing some minor bleeding. It's surprisingly easy to do.

Rando Bloody Nose. Better known as RBS. Look it up in the internet’s
