    Fumigation isn't always the way to go. Bedbugs lay a lot of eggs and they can hide anywhere. Best thing to do is throw out the furniture and vacuum everything from the ceiling to the tiniest crevice in the room.

    Another thing: based on the experience of a friend of a friend who suffered with scabies for a year and was diagnosed with anxiety, soap allergy, food allergy, etc. until she found the right MD, most dermatologists don't know squat about buggy infestation (bedbugs, lice, scabies, etc). Dermos get into the business because they want to get rich off acne, dermabrasion, etc. If you have an infestation (like my BF and I did with the scabies), find yourself a nice immigrant outer-borough doc who knows something about crawlies. Nice middle class docs won't help at all.

    When I take my glasses off, the bedbug pic looks like a three-eyed puppy. I'm going to leave it that way. I think a three-eyed puppy might be cuter than bedbugs. I'm not totally sure about that, though.

    You haven't lived til you've contracted bed bugs. I had them 8 years ago when they were not trendy. You don't feel them or know they are there til you see blood on your sheets in the morning and splattered around the electrical outlets [they breed there, I believe]. Then you leave all your ruined furniture in the alley, you call the bug man and he charges you $100 to hopefully get rid of them. Then you move. Then after a few months you are relieved that they didn't move with you.


    Spirit Fingers: They are the size of lentils and I finally did see them.


    It's a cool thing to write about now.

    Yes, I scratched myself seven times while reading this. Perhaps this bedbug infestation is a lesson. [J. Walter Weatherman] "And that's why you don't sleep your way to the top!" [/JWW]

    @AuntPenny: ... And that's why you always leave a note. Which is what the woman in the apartment next to me did when she found out SHE had bedbugs.

    Wait, how do you identify bedbugs? Aren't they microscopic? Or is "bedbugs" really code word for "crabs" which are pretty visable from what Sex and the City says.

    Was the intern one of the poors? Maybe she was eating bedbugs for nutrition because she was being paid nothing.

    Psahw. Bedbugs are so last year. For Shantytown-chic 2009, someone should give everyone at Vogue a roaring case of scabies.
