I already had one, but thank you for subtly reinforcing my irrational fear given I have never known a single person in my area who has ever gotten bed bugs. One can never be too safe....
It's one of the worst things that's ever happened to me. I still have the pest control service come every month and check even though it's been a year and it's always fine.
I'm very sorry that happened to you. I don't blame you for being paranoid. Fuck. That. Noise.
Thank you kindly. Every time I feel something brush against my skin, every itch I have, every sock fluff I see on the floor and I'm traumatized again.
This is one of my biggest fears in life. Bugs creep me the hell out, I already have sleeping troubles, and I know Iβd be wrecked by little bastards biting me in bed.
I canβt believe nobody has come up with a simple solution to this yet.
Me neither. They're insidious. I swear I had what's called delusional parasitosis for a bit as a result, and I caught it early and it was quickly resolved. I'm still running all my clothes and bedding through the dryer once every six weeks or so. I know I'm nuts but the feeling will take a long time to dissipate.
been 6 years for me. it lasted a long time but their shadow fades away eventually. I'm living in peace now
stay strong, survivor
Oh bless you for saying that. That makes me feel a lot better. I'm still very much in the crazed phase at this moment.
