For a few months now I've been getting bites all over me at my boyfriend's house. They look like welts and one bite on my eye lid swelled up. They're extremely itchy and recently it feels like bugs are crawling and biting all over me, but I can't see any. I have been itchy head to toe all day for the past couple of days now.
He had bed bugs, but we got rid of them with DE and cleaning also getting rid of objects that were infested. So we're ruling out BB. I now think maybe he has a mite infestation. He cleaned a birds nest out of a bathroom vent. Could they be bird mites? I don't see any bugs crawling on me or around the bed. But do have bites on me every time I stay there and it's only at night. I eventually slept on the couch because being in his room was torture, but it seems like they followed me. Neither his children nor him are getting bites at all.
What do I do? If they are mites can I infest my home by carrying them on me?

You could infest your home if you bring them into your house via your clothing.
Try to spray yourself with bug repellent when you go over.
If you could wrap the bedsheets in plastic, you might be able to take them to a place that sells pesticides, and they could tell you if any bugs are in the sheets.
Bed bug infestations are notoriously difficult!!! From your explanation of the itching etc.,you most likely have a continuing bed bug problem. A very simple online search for "how to stop bed bugs" produces many ways to solve your problem using home products. However, you may need to have a professional pest company help you, no matter how you have tried to resolve the problem. Check this site:

That's what I kept thinking that maybe they're not gone! Any time I talk about it he gets mad and doesn't really do much about it. I ended up deep cleaning his home while he went in vacation I didn't see any signs of B.B. But I know they're extremely tricky to rid of. He's moving soon and it's making me nervous that whatever it is is going to go with him! Thank you for the reply! :)
