I agree that the biggest problem is that we are not "overreacting" and no one could understand just how we feel till they too are ATTACKED and VIOLATED by a bedbug infestation. I have been amazed at how our government is doing almost nothing to help educate the public on how bad this realy is, and what to look for. maybe your right, and a march is what is needed to wake them up. I don't know what to say, something has to be done to wake people up to this growing problem. buggedinbrooklyn dear deb,

Lou--thanks especially for the one showing your finger-- I really was not sure what a 1st instar would look like NOT close-up, and now I am. I am completely perplexed why I have seen nothing. I am pretty sure that even a translucent (never fed) 1mm instar would be visible on me or the bed. Hi Buggedinbrooklyn– you’re right– all of NYC is going to have an enormous problem soon.

Seriously, holy crap. Those pictures are, while quite disgusting to a person who has been bitten so many times, utterly amazing as well. It's awesome that you took the time and put in the effort to take them and post them for us. Thanks, Lou. Jess P.S. Is that you being the food? Holy crap. Holy crap. Seriously, holy crap.
