I’m so fucking tired of finding bed bugs. So fucking sick of it. I feel like bugs are crawling on me all of the time because I’m so paranoid. My boyfriend can’t even spend the night because they make him sick. I need the next 10 days to go by FAST
They’re small, blood-sucking parasites perhaps living in the corners and crevices of our beds, feeding off us while we sleep.
Bed bugs, for decades, existed as myths, part of a rhyme our parents told us before bed. Now they’ve made an unwelcome return and those who know the buggers best say it’s high time we start taking them seriously.
After all, getting a bed bug infestation “is a bit of a crap shoot,” conceded University of Kentucky entomologist Michael Potter, meaning all of us are at risk.
Bed bugs used to be “incredibly common” in the early 20th century, Potter said. Back then, people routinely checked for them and carried insecticide while traveling.
