don’t get them in the first place. Throw out the bedding it is ruined. have your home exterminated professionally. and keep your bedding clean. change it regularly and vacuum around the edges to remove excessive dust/dirt that may have collected there. of course we all sleep with some bugs. Dustmites live in our beds also . They eat the flakes of skin that comes off our bodies not to say anything else we might get on the bed. but you can’t see them they are so small. Heck you probably breathed them in last night and didn’t know it.

No experience, but I did have lots of little bites once that stopped after I washed the sheets. =)
The following is from the Mayo Clinic website…
“Once your symptoms are treated, you must tackle the infestation. First, you’ll need to freeze pajamas, sheets and other bedclothes for at least 24 hours or launder them in hot water of at least 97 F (36 C). Vacuum the area of infestation daily and freeze the vacuum bags for 24 hours. Insecticide sprays such as dichlorvos, permethrin and malathion must be used around cracks and crevices in your home. Lawn and garden insect control sprays may contain these insecticides, and garden stores may have permethrin. However, this difficult task likely requires a professional inspection of the bedbug habitat and subsequent extermination.”
They have a lot of other good information about Bedbugs. I put the website under “Source.” Good luck!
