They look like nymphs of some kind but I dont recognize them. Maybe some type of ant. What kind of environment were you in when you were bitten?

These are reproductive termites that have shed their wings. You need to worry more about your house being bitten than yourself...

I found them in the bedroom on the floor, there were about 8 of them, I had left the window open a few nights ago

Flapdoodle, I think that you are right, I just looked up the reproductive termites and I have seen the winged ones a few nights ago in the same bedroom.
