Hi all,
It has been quite a long time since I've talked to you all. My bed bug scare apparently happened to have gotten resolved. (?!?) But as many of you well know, mentally, it doesn't quite stop there, right? Thank you so much for sharing all of your wisdom. It is so invaluable and I continue to read the boards from time to time just to keep myself educated.

That said, tonight I went to see Swan Lake at City Center in New York City and this evening while doing my evening routine, I started scratching an area above my elbow that started to bump up a bot. It does seem to have a center as if it could be a hair follicle inflammation but it's itchy. I don't seem to see any other pattern marks but then again, I just got home! It was only a 2.5 hr show! Getting freaked out, I gathered up what I was wearing there + bag and threw them in for 40 mins in the dryer. I'm hoping that I'm just being paranoid.

Has anyone heard any reports there? I know Lincoln Center has had them and also Carnegie. So who knows, they must want a little (blood) culture in their lives lately.

Any thoughts?

Was that area exposed during the show?
This is why I packtite everything after going to public events like this. Yes, maybe insane, but i makes me rest easier.
It is probably nothing, though.

Oh, you know what? That might help me rest easier. I had a sweater on, so my elbows would have been covered. The timing was just so random and weird that of course my mind went to the high-profile theater places. If I had a packtite, I probably would've dumped everything into it as well. Well, hopefully the dryer helped and it's nothing.

Thanks for your comment. I feel more at ease – I think – lolol you know... other than the paranoia.

P.S. I even had looked their address up on the Bed Bug Registry and didn't seem to find anything conclusive, for what it's worth.
