My daughter had an allergic reaction to carpet beetle larvae hairs and it resulted in welts similar to those pictures.
We immediately thought bed bugs, but the exterminator checked and found the carpet beetle larvae in a wool blanket. No sign of bed bugs. They actually used a bed bug sniffing dog!
The rest of us did not show any symptoms. Allergist said that some people react violently, some mildly, some don't react at all.
Said same thing about bed bugs. It is not uncommon for one person to show bites and another person none. All depends on sensitivity.
