The scourge of bed bugs has no end. No end. Even single dads (potential DAP) are affected:

The guys at work noticed that Mel was scratching. They asked him what was up. He said he had bedbugs. Here is a fresh hell:
Mel works with a dozen other men; a city job, to do with waste-water pumping. So, how did Mel’s mates react to the news about the bed bugs?
“At first they didn’t treat me bad. They’d say they felt sorry for me.” Their sympathy didn’t last.
“Pretty soon they didn’t want me around. To be honest, I don’t blame them.”
Mel had been doing his best. He was taking precautions. He was shaking out his clothes before he went to work. Not good enough, I guess.
“Eventually, they didn’t want to work with me. The acting super told me to take two weeks off — the guys were complaining.”
Mel’s blood pressure shot through the roof, as it would have done anyway: no sleep; constant worry; fear and frustration. But if you think it’s bad when you’ve got bugs and you can’t get rid of them, it’s worse when you’re treated like a leper at work.
I remember my mom telling me "Don't let the bedbugs bite", and I always thought they were myths - like that monster in my closet.
ReplyDeleteThen a couple of years ago I got them - took me weeks to figure out what was going on.
Then I got them again! The first time was moving into an apartment, the second after an overseas trip. They hard to spot, and harder to get rid of.
Afterwards I started a blog on my experience, and the best product I found that gave me the knowledge and plan to get rid of them.
