But the allergic reactions could be of all the chemicals in the Off you are spraying on yourself all the time. Even if you were not allergic before you can develop an allergic reaction. Sorry you are going through this in your new place. I really hope things improve for you. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/two-weeks-after-the-move-yet-still#post-52749 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:29:27 +0000 Traumabugged 52749@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>Thanks, cantstandbebugs, the thing is I've been squishing these gnats and so far no blood seen. And I have been constantly spraying Off on myself, that's what makes me frightened when I see some bites or allergic reaction on me. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/two-weeks-after-the-move-yet-still#post-52649 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 22:14:47 +0000 cantstandbedbugs 52649@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>HI trauma, yes gnats do bite and suck blood I killed about 20 in the bathroom one summer and blood came out when I squashed them. The BB eggs I've seen in my moms box spring were white not black. I don't think the black capsule is a BB egg. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/two-weeks-after-the-move-yet-still#post-52643 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 18:04:45 +0000 Traumabugged 52643@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>Thanks, Doug, sorry for the absence of pictures. Here's what I'm referring to:</p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/XmN-PbnqZbAG6k-cTZRfhQ?feat=directlink" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/XmN-PbnqZbAG6k-cTZRfhQ?feat=directlink</a><br /> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Fq1P1h2IDH_4TyaI_gERqg?feat=directlink" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Fq1P1h2IDH_4TyaI_gERqg?feat=directlink</a></p> <p>And the weird thing is after I poured boiling water on the chair and let it sink in the water for about 2 hours, the crawling sensation sort of subdued (still got some when I'm using my computer)...and there was something I found in the water which was disturbing because it looks like an...egg?</p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/itRAxMGs5WfVyG3L1FUsgw?feat=directlink" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/itRAxMGs5WfVyG3L1FUsgw?feat=directlink</a><br /> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Jl68dAT9tlF1F1fzZ3bsuw?feat=directlink" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Jl68dAT9tlF1F1fzZ3bsuw?feat=directlink</a></p> <p>I found this kind of black capsule like thing on the kitchen floor once but have no idea what it is. Could it be an egg of bb? It has the size of sesame but is completely black. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/two-weeks-after-the-move-yet-still#post-52619 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 21:50:26 +0000 DougSummersMS 52619@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>Are you referring to mosquito's? </p> <p>Depending on your location.... you could be dealing with a small flying insect that produces bite marks.... No one can really be sure when we look at photos of bite marks.... </p> <p>Trap some of the gnats on clear tape &#38; take some good marco digital shots of them.... We will try to help you identify the gnats &#38; see if they are a potential source of your bite marks </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/two-weeks-after-the-move-yet-still#post-52602 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 16:09:38 +0000 Traumabugged 52602@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>I moved into the new apartment on June 23rd, and today when I woke up I found this two small bite on my knees:</p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/NvzNVFLUoHAWvvurHoWZBQ?feat=directlink" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/NvzNVFLUoHAWvvurHoWZBQ?feat=directlink</a></p> <p>Two in a row...And yesterday I got one just under my navel...</p> <p>What makes me worried is the comparison between these pictures:</p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/DH5CQO2NsHKynkKV8Lk2lQ?feat=directlink" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/DH5CQO2NsHKynkKV8Lk2lQ?feat=directlink</a><br /> Taken on June 26th, 2009</p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/kAlx3slKaBvX99nVtgxhrg?feat=directlink" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/kAlx3slKaBvX99nVtgxhrg?feat=directlink</a><br /> Taken today.</p> <p>The red area actually expanded (and there are some more welts) and I felt itchy on this area like everyday. </p> <p>And then I saw this one...taken by another one and confirmed like bed bug bites:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnbsmustgo/1418429573/sizes/l/in/pool-308028@N24/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnbsmustgo/1418429573/sizes/l/in/pool-308028@N24/</a></p> <p>which makes wonder if I'm dealing with not adult bugs but nymphs all over the place...</p> <p>I have put the passive monitor under my bed and chair, so far no sign. There are many blood spots on my blankets (while I do have some scratched wounds) but I am not able to find any cast skins, or even black spots like feces. </p> <p>My parents told me the bites might come from the gnats, which there are a lot of flying around me, but I've got Off all over me yet I'm still feeling like something crawling...Maybe I shall pour boiling water on the chair again.</p> <p>But one question still remains...Does gnat bite? </p>
