Well this **** ****ing sucks. Worst start to a bday ever, i get up to discover i have been the recipient of a major bed bug offensive. That is my left hip it is just one huge patch of bites, and i have 2 other of these patches on my right leg.
Oh man, I can feel your pain. My place has just recovered or still recovering from a major bed bug infestation. I had them everywhere in clusters. I had one cluster on my leg that looked like Stonehenge and my feet looked like they had chicken pox (don't worry I would never take pics haha...don't want y'all to lose your eyes). I cringe at the thought of how many of those bloodsuckers were on my body during sleep, having a field day with my blood.
My family and I ended up throwing away all of our five mattresses. Each of them had a bed bug nest!! Now we're all sleeping on sleeping pads, which aren't that bad but sucks not having a comfy bed.
At peak we would get at least 10-20 bites each night, now it's only my brother getting bitten about once or twice. Mine varies between one bite every several days to once a week.
Check your bedding very carefully and the area around it. Sometimes the tiny ones aren't seen by the eye unless you really focus. Also wash your clothes in hot water and dry to kill any that might be on them. Whenever you see one, kill it immediately so it doesn't go back to the nest. RAID works perfectly. Fog the affected rooms, although it didn't seem to help much it did reduce activity a little. I steamed my carpets afterward if you have any. And go to your skin doctor. Good luck!
Bed bugs are the worst. They can mess with you mentally if you've had them for a long time. I would rather have ants or cockroaches.
