    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.

          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 I’d be wrecked by little bastards biting me in bed.

            I can’t 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.

                  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.
