You may have been bitten by chiggers!. We have a farm in North Carolina and I always end up with bumps a day or two after visiting!.
The tiny critters make their way under the skin and cause irritation and a small red raised bump!. And very itchy!.
To "choke" a chigger and help the itching one of the easiest ways to get rid of it is put some clear nail polish over the bump!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

probably not bed bugs as they tend to bite many more times than just three on each leg, particularly if your legs were under the sheet your arms and face would be far more accessible!. Furthermore, they tend to be transferred by luggage or by sleeping somewhere that has them, not in farms or jungles where they don't have ready access to human blood!.
If you notice new bites after today, investigate further by checking for small black spots on the folds of your mattress and box springs (that is their poo!.!.!. no joke) also inspect any wooden decorations, crown molding, picture frames near the bed, and exterior wiring for the same poo and look high up on the walls - they cannot fly or jump but they can crawl very well!. While you are attacked on your bed by these critters, they don't necessarily live in the bed, which is a common misconception!.
They do not lay 1000 eggs in a week, more like 5 a day (i think maybe he/she was just being funny) but it is very very important to see the signs and take care of an infestation early because the longer one waits, the more impossible to get rid of the problem it is!.
Bed bugs are not attracted to filth or dirt, they are attracted to the CO2 you exhale and body heat!. Hygiene has nothing to do with it!.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you,,, as this is a terrible terrible problem to eradicate!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
