Question by Samaria3:
Bed bugs????
Ok, so around the beginning of February I moved into my Aunt’s house. She doesn’t have much money and it’s not the cleanest place. In the inconvenient situation, me, my twin sister, and my two cousins all had to share a bunk bed. The matresses were old… I slept on the bottom and my sister slept on the top.
After a few days I started to notice red itchy spots on my feet and arms, then I eventually got a few basically everywhere. After one night of sleeping on the bottom bunk, my sister, who didn’t have any bumps, started getting the bumps. They’re your typical bed bug bites. Some of them were in clusters of three. We went to the doctors who comfirmed them as bed bugs.
My question: Why didn’t either of my cousins get them? My other cousin, who always slept in the bottom bunk (which had the worse infestation) never got them. Was is because they had been living there for a long time and their bodies were used to it?

That is terrible. Even clean homes can have bedbugs, though. They are major pests. Everyone reacts differently to bedbug bites, and some people get a bad looking red mark, while others get very little. Still, I think it is difficult to ignore the fact that you are being bitten each night. Most people are bothered by them! All I can imagine is that maybe the bedbugs got introduced to the house around the time that you moved in, and that they really like you and your sister.
Good luck in dealing with those b@stards, as they can be hard to get rid of.
