   Hi,
   I'm currently in the wait-and-see stage after the 3rd treatment. I have noticed that I'm definitely still itchy, and when I look at where I'm scratching, it is one of three scenarios:

   1) an old bite (up to a month old, when this first began, and a barely visible scar, but still capable of itching)
   2) an area of skin with nothing there (except maybe some red streaks from scratching)
   3) something that looks like a bite, but which goes away within hours, making me feel crazy

   Has anybody else experienced this? It has been 5 days since my 3rd treatment, so I don't think I'm experiencing delayed reactions to bites, although I was never really able to figure out whether I have delayed reactions or not.

   Yes, I'm in that "unsure" phase. I've just had my 4th treatment and although I haven't seen any BB or signs, my skin is still reacting. I think some old ones have been acting up. I've also gotten the itcy welts that disappear in an hour, near my elbow and knee. On top of that, I've woken up with these itchy, small, pimple-like "bites" on my chest and neck. It's all been driving me absolutely nuts. Do I still have bed bugs or not?! I know, it's very frustrating.
