I was getting into bed one night about 3 weeks ago, pulled the sheet back and there was a little black bug under the comforter. I got a piece of paper killed it, changed the sheet and never thought anything of it. About a week or so later, I noticed 2 red whelts on my right arm. When I sleep I usually put my right arm under my pillow. So I looked up red whelps online and was histerical when I found out that it was actually a bed bug that I had killed. I have never in my life had anything like this. I am the only one getting bit, my husband sleeps like a baby. I am obsessed now with checking EVERYTHING, I get up in the middle of the night and turn on the light to try to see them. I have yet to find them in my house, I have been vacuuming like crazy, changing sheets every night and have ordered fossil shell flour. My skin is crawling right now just typing this and I feel like I am loosing my mind. I am actually S-C-A-R-E-D to get into my own bed at night.... Essex/Baltimore MD

I came home from work around 9 and did a little house work. I was changing my linen on my bed and saw the bedbugs lined up on the ends of the blanket. I dont understand why I would have bedbugs when my house is spotless. I do not have a lot of clutter nor a lot of possessions my apartment is pretty simple bedroom(bed,dresser,tv) my clothes are hanging up in the closet.

I was laying down in bed with my daughter in the afternoon. I noticed a red bug on my pillow, I killed it and didnt think nothing of it. A week later i noticed itchy bumps on my arms. I showed my nurse the bumps on my arms and she said they were bed bug bites. Ever since then I have killed 3 more bedbugs. I am bitten atleast twice a week. It is horrible
