Around March, April 2008, I started to notice very itchy reddened bites on my body.
I wasn't sure what was causing them, but knew they were some kind of insect.
I found out from my doctor they were BED BUG
bites !
I was shocked and disgusted. I feared sleeping
in my own bed, and was very distraught and
upset. I had to leave my apartment for a few days to get away from the scene of the crime.
I somehow thought maybe I brought to problem to myself and was too embarrassed to say anything.
Then I found out other suites also had bedbugs.
The management of this building denies there is a problem.

I began to get bit in July 07. Thought it was ants because I saw an ant in my apt....then I went away for work for 3 weeks....when I came back it had gotten worse...my boyfriend and his daughter housesat for me when I was away and didn't get bit...weird!

I started getting more and more bites and my mom told me to go to the doctor because she thought it was hives. It was not.
She said it was bedbugs and after my boyfriend inspected the bed for a really long time, he found one....

after spending hundreds and hundreds of $ in cleaning/preventative supplies, days of sleepless nights, and a couple days missed work, I decided to move out before they come back because if they are not dealt with properly, that's exactly what they do. Your apt and apts that surround you need to be professionally fumigated. I got them from the apt beneath me that decided that he would deal with it himself..ugh!
But people continue to huck mattresses in the dumpster....so I'm sure they are still around!
