God if I hear that nursery rhyme one more time... why do they use it again and again.. then they say bedbugs are back.. no.. they have been back for quite awhile now. They are spreading.
I feel like I have bugs crawling all over me. And yet I know that's not true.. especially since the sensations I feel are more of like slower ants crawling on me.. in fact I do have a few ants in my room. But the sensation is part of the paranoia.
I was reading more about DDT and the IMPORTANCE of residual pesticides. I would love to make DDT if I could and needed to. In fact, I would love to try to buy it on the black market and have my future apartment toxic to bedbugs from the get go.
I was wondering how bedbugs are in fact the perfect weapon of mass destruction. A nice crop dusting of these things onto a town would be a worse fate than many things someone could conceive. Scary as it seems, but a scientist doing some genetic modification could create a strain of bed bugs so horrible that these regular ones would be a literal walk in the park in comparison. Imagine bigger, badder bedbugs that need to feed all the time?
Ok, I need to stop letting my imagination go into such negative directions. Itching to get rid of them (the poster) is on the same page as I am about our weird society that can do so much technologically but couldn't grow their own food or deal with simple disease and pestilence to save their own lives (literally). -
Hey Blazing, I have to support Emmm's question...when was the last time you slept. Have you had one treatment or two, can you isolate your bed? I've been yoyo'ing up and down (hope/dispair) for quite some time now, but today...hope (after several months now).
The sensations..they suck, but you have to follow spydie's advice on one of these posts. If you feel something and look and there's nothing..there's nothing. If you feel something and look and you see a bug, there's a bug. Staying in the present (when there are no bugs and you are not getting bit) is a huge challenge, but it's good advice. Doing all the prep you can, following the guidelines, taking precautions..do those things, but if you can, do it....and I can't at least 50% of the time, . so I really understand the difficulty. I'm taking it on as a practice because other wise I will get CRAZIER, than these things have already made me.
I'm certain I'll look back at this episode and think "whew, I was soooo crazy" during that time. There was a time also when I didn't believe they would ever be gone, gone. But they might be now. My infestation, I come to realize was horrific, very very bad. For multiple reasons.
And, it's better now, much better. In fact I'm not wearing socks, laid down for a while on my (isolated) bed without showering first today, and am simulating normal life. My butt itches now and again, and sometimes today I felt imaginary nibbles on my legs and feet, but there is nothing there, and things are good today.
So that's my advice..do what you can, take a warm bath (it's a safe place), recognize that most everything you feel is a kind of oversensitivity syndrome that most here develop, and that at some point you have to use your brain to overcome it.
Get some rest, there actually are worse things than having these f'ing bugs..and we are glad we don't have whatever is worse, and hang in there. Peace out! Portland, Or

Psychosomatic itching - it's Shocking. I have never heard of anything else prompting this. Not fleas, cockraoches, etc.

Portland bed bug situation unknown...It is only addressed in the media here once in a blue moon, and then only referencing infested subsidized housing..i.e., it's the poor people's problem. They're here, but I have no idea what the overall picture is.
