Question by Robert:
My friend has bedbugs? HELP!!?

Hi, so everytime I sleep over my friend’s house I get severely bitten by bed bugs (I know its bedbugs). We sleep on the same bed.. However,she DOES NOT get bitten but I do. Even when I am not there she is fine. Can anyone shed some light on this? PLEASE help me, only if you know what you are talking about.

Maybe you taste better.
She doesnt have bed bugs. Otherwise, she’d be getting bitten too. If you want to confirm this, lift off the sheets and check the mattress.
You could just be allergic to something in her house/bed.

It could be that she has developed some kind of immunity because she is exposed to them everyday. (For example when I went to Vietnam I was covered in mosquito bites yet the locals never seemed to get bitten because they were immune.)

It could be bed bugs. Your girlfriend’s skin chemistry might put out a scent that repells them. No different then how flys and other bugs can bite you and not the person sitting next to ya. Have yu thought of an allergic reaction to the detergent she uses when she washes them. This is much more likely then being allergic to the material in the matress or sheets, etc.

Have you seen the bugs? That’s so gross… don’t sleep over again until she gets an exterminator. There’s no other way to be rid of them.

Have you checked the mattress to make sure that it is bedbugs? They don’t discriminate, any blood is good blood to a bedbug.

Also, don’t sleep over there again because you could carry them home with you (on clothes, bags etc) and then you’ll end up with the problem in your own home.
