   there seems to be a lot of paranoia about trying to identify fecal stains and a lot of misconceptions about size, color, consistency, etc.

   i assume most people are living with white sheets and pillow cases... can anyone post pics that they KNOW are fecal stains on their sheets? the gallery is helpful but most of the pics are of extreme deposits in mattress crevices or wood, not the one or two stains or streaks that many of us around here (myself included) are freaking out over. i'm about to quit looking for them, it just seems crazy to get paranoid about every speck, especially considering the amount of dirt i'm tracking all over the apartment after 3 rounds of PCO's residual treatment...yes, even with a good foot scrubbing before bed

   side note: black garbage bags, while very useful, can also make kind of a mess of black specks, i've noticed

   I saw this video it shows some sheets that are stained. Turn down the volume though the music is kinda "creepy"! It's bad enough having BBs I don't think anyone needs to be creeped out more than they already are!

   wow, thanks, that was a nasty one. totally creepy. i can't believe i never came across it before.

   so although the mattress shot (and the shot of that one bug actually 'depositing' that fecal stain at the end) is pretty informative (and gross), it's not exactly what i was looking for... which is somebody's stained white sheets, the stains we are all so paranoid to discover on our sheets that we wash every few days in fear... maybe the answer is that it just doesn't happen like that?

   thanks for posting! (and for the music warning)
