Dear participants,
We've got someone wound up here. Photo here. You can't do better than that.

This is my wife's message. It says how it moves, where it lives.

In addition to this message, I can say that I don't feel them at all. My wife has now left with the child to visit her parents. The SES processed everything yesterday. But they don't know who it is. I didn't see anyone, and I don't see anyone. They say men can't even feel bites.
The wife says that she is bitten further (her parents have 1 night), because in the morning there are bites (2-3, hardly more), and on the child too.
The dermatologist identified the bite as a rat flea. We still have suggestions that a duffel or pubic louse.
The magnifying glass does not allow you to zoom in to get a good look. I need a microscope. Or some kind of powerful magnifying glass.
Please state your assumption and degree of confidence.
The problem is that the wife can not apply all the drugs (or rather, almost none) on herself due to the fact that she feeds and her skin is very dry (atopic dermatitis). Therefore, it is important to determine who it is, so as not to poison yourself and your child in vain.

How worried should I be?

Thank you in advance!

garland, how was this picture taken? With overhead or side lighting, there would be more information about the creature than with a picture in transmitted light.
I understand that it is very difficult to shoot such small animals without special devices.
In this picture, it is a little unclear how many pairs of legs he has?
Sometimes a simple drawing (sketch) and a verbal description can tell you more about an animal than a low-quality photo.

I am not at all an expert on insects, I can only assume that these can be parasites of birds or rodents (pukhoedov or lice), and there are several suborders and a large number of species.
