We're about to enter our third month of treating with Drione. I haven't seen a BB in ages. But I still wake up in the middle of the night and think I feel them on me. I don't think I have been getting any bites during the night, but I think it's really odd that I wake up so often out of a deep sleep like that, thinking that they're biting me. Is it possible that they are still around and I'm just not reacting to the bites any more, or am I just bug shocked and have residual psychological effects?

I've had a couple of bites in the day, but I'm thinking they are probably mosquito bites, since they don't seem the same as the BB bites I used to get. They're much milder, don't develop welts, and disappear much more quickly.

Is it possible to build up a resistance?

yes it is possible to stop reacting to the bites

it's also possible that you are experiencing post bed bug trauma symptons as well

instead of searching for bites you should be searching for signs of them - fecal stain - blood stains or cast skins in and around your bed

after 3 months you would see signs
