Question by Ayla:
How to know if you have bed bugs?

I just saw a bug on my blanket…it was really tiny and brown. I smashed it before I could even really compare it to a picture of a bed bug. I googled the image, and I’m not sure if it was the same thing.

I took my blanket, searched…took off my bed sheets and looked in the cracks of the mattress but found nothing.

Now I’m afraid to sleep lol

all the illegals that have invaded our country with our governments permission is why we suddenly have a huge bed bud infestation in cities all over the US.. Along with diseases that the US had worked to eradicate are now back., like tuberculosis and others..

Just thought you should know.

But if you had BB you wake up bites on you.

because they feed on your blood while you sleep.

Don’t worry about it , you wont get a disease from them. Unless they carry the “sleeping sickness disease” from South America.
If so ? well then ,you have a problem.

Dont forget to vote for obama’s new AMNISTY for illegals act, he is calling it the ” Dream Act ” really , i am not kidding that is what he is calling it. It includes free college for all illegals under the age of 30.

That is not correct. Bed bugs are not red. They are brown and about the size of a full grown tick. When they bite, you usually CANNOT feel it. I was recently bitten several times by bed bugs during a hotel stay and didn’t feel a thing. I saw some on my comforter and hurried out of the room. I thought I got out in time. But, a few days later, bites appeared on my back, sides, and legs. The bites can take up to 14 days to appear. They look almost like mosquito bites. Sometimes they itch. Sometimes you feel nothing.
