Tonight we discovered a little community of disgusting, small, roachlike bugs living inside our microwave. Not in the food-preparation part, but ...
Most spider bites are not really spider bits at all. There are small critters like bed bugs that can be picked up on a train,bus etc. You will not see them,you will see the bites.
Then there is a bacteria that can cause this too.
If it is not getting better consider a clinic. If it gets worse go right away. If I knew what area you live in I may have had more info.
For now keep the area clean and dry. Odds are it is a minor issue. Most of all, don't panic.
My inclination would be to get rid of the bugs and store my rice in a sealed container from now on and not keep it around for too long either. Search for bugs in rice on google or similar.
Three things will kill them naturally, heat (above 120 degree F), food grade diatomacious earth and permethrin spray.
Heat that high is hard to do alone, but you can contract (and I recommend you do based on your severity) a company to seal your outside doors and windows, and pump heat into your home for a few hours. This will kill all bedbugs in all stages of their life cycle. It takes a few hours at this heat to do so.
Diatomaceous earth is a powder that acts like concertina wire to pretty much all bugs. So the bugs have to physically come in contact with it. It is safe for mammals; you and your pet can eat the food grade level. You should dust the areas where there is the most bugs. I would dust around and in the beds, furniture and wherever else you suspect bugs. This will only kill the bugs that are moving. Eggs are safe. Plus, you cannot get the dust everywhere where the bugs can hide.
Permethrin is an oil extract from flowers. It is good against most arthopods and safe for mammals. The oil is diluted with water (I use hot or warm water) and applied by spraying. Depending on your spray applicator, you can spray into many places; however, it is only good for a about 24hrs. Direct contact is a must. It will kill bugs in all stages of life, but again, it must come in direct contact with them.
So to summarize, diatomaceous earth (DE) in conjuction with permethrin can wipe out a small, isolated infestation. If the bugs have moved to multiple places, heat is the best option as a whole-house solution as DE and Permethrin will not get into all the nooks and crannies like inside the walls and electrical outlets. These bugs can and do hide anywhere!
