Question
I was recently changing my sheets when i found about 3 tiny brown bugs, i'm not sure if they're bed bugs because neither i or my sister, who has a bed next to mine have any bites. i haven't found anymore, but since i have an OCD about cleaning i'm freaking out. I killed one and its guts looked as though they were cloth like. They were the size of a pencil point, it had four legs and it looked kind of fuzzy. Please help, how should i get rid of them and what are they?

Answer
Lailan,

These were not bed bugs but rather dermestid beetles, probably carpet beetles. I'd need to see a picture to be absolutely sure but this is what you are describing. Carpet beetles feed on all sorts of natural materials found around the house. Everything from dry foods to natural fabrics. They are harmless except for the damage to stored foods or fabrics. If you've only seen three there's probably not much to worry about. If you start seeing them every day you'll need to find the infestation and dispose of it. Here's an article that explains this in more detail http://www.livingwithbugs.com/carpet_beetle.html that may be interesting.
