Last year about this time is when I first saw a bedbug in my own home. We went through the treatment for July and August. Didnt have any bites or see any bugs for months. Moved apartments in March. Went on a trip last week and stayed in a hotel. I checked the room religiously, we kept bags off the floor on the kitchenette counter, I didnt see any evidence there, but who knows.
Yesterday while at work I started itching. I have two bites on my right ankle and a series of bites on my left ankle. "Ugh, a mosquito must have gotten in the car with me and had a feast" I think.
But then, I remember. That's what I thought last time. All day I try not to obsess over my bites. Unsuccessful. Got home but the SO was already asleep... get a shitty nights rest. Wake up- is that red spot a new reaction or is it because I was furiously scratching in the night? Start doing a quick search, SO tells me I'm obsessing again (we fought a lot about me obsessing while we were actively fighting them). Didnt see anything, but also want very thorough because I had to go to work this morning.
When I get home I'm going to strip the bed, inspect, vacuum, and do ALL the laundry that has accumulated this week.
Fingers crossed.
