They are just like fang marks, usually on my legs, two large red spots. I change our bed very often, am very houseproud, clean. What could this be. I`ll have a dicky fit if it is spiders. Do you have any ideas?

I think that it is probably mosquito or gnat. Double fang marks do suggest a spider, but hell, I'm sorry, it would have to be one hell of a sized spider for you to be able to see the marks of both of the fangs! BUT spiders really prefer clean homes. They are not in to dirt!
I am sure that it is simply a case of having a mozzie or a gnat under the sheets which has snacked on you a couple of times. Get a good mozzie spray and zap them.
The idea from someone else about getting sticky fly-paper and seeing what adheres to it was probably a good one. It's got to be worth a try!
One think I can tell you, it is definitely not bed bugs - they are far too small to make that sort of mark - they are more likely to cause an asthma attack!

If the marks are close together, and look sore and raised rather than a pin sized hole then it is either a mosquito having two stabs at the exposed bit (more likely) or it is a spider. Mozzy spray the room, especially behind the radiators.

99% certainty it is bed bugs.
You will need to wash all your sheets and clothing in bleached hot water, and have your bed treated by an exterminator.
Unfortunately, that takes 2 treatments over a several weeks period.
Depending upon the value of the bed, or your situation (do you have something to sleep on for the next month?), you may be better off getting rid of it and buying a new one.
Bedbugs are a fairly recent occurrence in the U.S., but the problem is quickly becoming widespread.

you might have bed bugs, they can even be in the cleanest of homes. spiders is the next possibility. last but not least how big are the fang marks? it could just be a vampire that likes legs( just kidding) all kidding aside you probably have spiders.

Yah its probably spiders... look around your house... they have to live or come from somewhere.... look for their nest/web and spray it with spider killer .... i'd use the organic kind if you can find it... normal spider killers have lots of chemicals that could be bad for pets or kids w/ asthma
It doesn't mean your not clean it just means that spiders found their way into your house...
Your lucky they aren't horribly poinsonous...
Kill em Good!

probably spiders but could also be a range of any species of bugs that wander in your home. best bet is to put down some glue traps, you know for spiders and such?, and see what creepy crawlies wind up in there. then you'll have a better idea of who the culprit is.

my guess would be a spider. And don't feel bad if you've got a spider or two in the house...that happens to the best of us.

Sorry, it's probably spiders,since the bite has two marks.

bed bugs, no matter how clean you are you can still get them, they may have jumped from someone unto you, people are travelling more and unknowingly bringing them home,even the best hotels have been known to have them, they are hard to get rid of
