Bedbugs

Good night
Sleep tight
Don’t let the bedbugs bite

Yeah well let me tell you a thing or two about bedbugs. New York, that is where it all happened. I am in bed in my hotel room with my three sleeping children in the bed next to mine, and I am watching a movie on my computer when out of the corner of my eye I see a small bug crawling on my pillow. Well I brush it away and don’t think much of it, bugs are around now and then…no big deal.

In the morning I have several large bites on the back of my shoulders, and as the morning goes on more and more big red bites keep showing up. The itching is starting to drive me crazy. So I figure it must be bed bugs. This was a three night stay so I switched to a new room for the second night, but by then it was too late. I had over a hundred bites show up by evening. And these bites were turning into huge welt like hives. By the middle of the next day I ended up going to a walk in clinic because I was starting to react to the hundred some odd bites. Three medications later I am doing much better. Lucky for my kids I was the only one attacked. So far that is my one and only experience with bedbugs and I really would like it to be my last.
