I know this sounds crazy but it is 100% true. I was in Bakersfield CA about a year ago. I stayed in a suite with a bed and a seperate room with a couch. As I was taking a short nap on the sofa, I woke up. After a few minutes of being awake, I got up and felt a slight stinging on my foot, right below my ankle on the outside of my foot. I looked down and there was this very flat reddish bug. As I gave a closer look, I noticed that it was actually eating through my skin and digging/eating down into my foot. This bug was not very large, probably 1/4" long and a few centimeters wide. It had several legs on each side. Anyways, I freaked out. My husband came running and tried to get it out. He pulled half of it out of my skin but the head stayed in, he finally smashed it and got it out. The problem is, I am terrified now. I always think something is crawling on me, and I am constantly checking for something trying to eat me. If anyone has ANY info on this insect please tell. I can't sleep
