Question by Mirry:
Bed bugs on my body but not on my mattress?
I have been waking up with bites on my body for the past three days. I even noticed that i was getting bit at work. Today, I found two bed bugs (or so I think they are) on my body. When I went to strip my bedsheets to check my mattress….I did not find any bed bugs on my sheet or mattress (I checked in all the crevices, on the floor and along the edges….still nothing.) Does this mean I am safe from them? What should I do now?

Wash bedsheets in hot water vacuum mattress, air out pillows outside, then put in drier to fluff, wash hair and body, go see doctor.
I don’t think this is a problem that will magically disappear.
First, are you sure that you’re dealing with bed bugs? Bed bugs are visible to the eye, nocturnal, and will hide from you.
Do you have red or brown spots on your mattress? That is a big indication of bed bugs.
Your next plan of action depends on how much money you’re willing to spend on this.
The best option is probably to combine all these:
1- get a new mattress. Bed bugs are really hard to get rid of. Most people spend hundreds of dollars trying to do such.
2- hire a professional to come out and exterminate them. Let a professional take care of this for you. He may need to bug bomb your house anyway.
3- try a product like this: http://www.diatect.com/bed-bug-killer-ppc.php?gclid=CMyHrtycn5MCFQmRgwodbDPSoQ
Call an exterminater, Please! It’s the only way to know that you’ve gotten rid of them and yes they will hitch a ride with you to work etc… So if you you remember that kid in grade school that had lice – you do want that reputation.
They are a lot like roaches – they like to hide.
