Bed Bugs
ark_ader:
Sounds like fleas.
If you had bed bugs you would have have a better overall experience with the *bites* than your toes.
Get some dog flea powder and dust off the lower bed after a shower or you could possibly go hip and wear cat flea collars around your ankles. :laugh2:
I would upgrade to 3 star than that hotel hell. But you get whats you pays for.

Don't take this too lightly Jeep. Do some Googling. It's becoming a major problem in most major cities. It has NOTHING to do with cleanliness, wealth or class (like Ark would have you believe). They aren't a minor annoyance like mosquitoes. The problem is they can live for 180 days on ONE FEEDING. And then they are laying eggs during that entire time. So one can become hundreds or more quite easily. They are extremely hard to kill, and can fit in a crack the width of paper. They hitch a ride on bags, maybe clothing. I've read horror stories about people waking up itching and covered in tiny blood spots from bites during the night.
They come out at night and somehow detect human breath. That's how they seek you out. So try waking up at like 3am and check the bed again.
I fear getting them. However in the summer I have house centipedes somehow invading my home and those eat bedbugs.

So I ended up moving rooms. They bumped me up to a (relatively speaking) suite for no extra charge. All clothes were checked thouroughly, washed on hot water, and ran for an hour in the dryer before coming into the new room. Psychologically my brain tells me that this could have killed any that I missed visually. Everything else received an intense inspection before moving.
Since the move two days ago, no bites yet.
Ray, I am up at 5:00am every morning, so I have been turning on the lights and quickly checking the room. Nothing lately.

Buy a can of OFF, and have a spray. If OFF is unavailable or too expensive you can use BS's Beauty. Smells the same...

Man I hate those things. Check under your bed, they usually hang out there. If you still get new bites either the new room also has them or you brought them with you. Before going home I'd wrap my clothes in plastic bags and put them in the washer as soon as I got home just to make sure you don't spread them to your apt or home.
