Nasty bites

Recently this guy from upstairs started circulating letters that his unit had been infested by bedbugs and cockroaches and that apparently some other units in the building have been too and apparently the management hasn't done anything about it.   So his solution was to have all the tenants not pay for the next month's rent until the infestation had been dealt with.  We have lived in this building since February and so far had not had that problem.  The guy upstairs started taking his furniture and what not out of his apartment so he could apparently clean his space because he felt he could live there with the infestation.  Well, right about that time my husband started getting these weird bug bites.
 First he thought he got it from work but when he went to the dentist one day he came home with some more.  Then a 4 day weekend came and he still kept getting more bites.  Eventually my son started getting one or two here and there.  Just this morning he had 8 bites!!!  We haven't seen any bugs or any signs of infestation so we've been cleaning relentlessly trying to get rid of them.  I'm the only one who hasn't gotten any though.
My suspicion is that the guy upstairs started spreading them when he decided to bring out his furniture and may be intentionally spreading them.  There has been a security guard surveying our building these last few days and on Sunday the LAPD was outside in front of the building parked with a handcuffed man in one of the vehicles.  I just hope this infestation doesn't cause sickness because my other little boy is on his way any minute now and i'll be treating all three males in this household of these bites.  This truly sucks.   Plus my son is already sick with cough and cold.  sigh! My poor son has huge elevated bites on his arms, a buttock and knee.  If this guy upstairs is responsible i'll be truly pissed off!
