    Hi. After about a month dealing with this and four expensive fumigation treatments, I had started unpacking my things and trying to get back to normal. I haven't gotten too far -- I had removed my clothes from trash bags, though, and started unpacking them.

    But I woke up this morning to find conclusive proof that the bugs are still around: blood stains on my sheets and a crushed bug underneath me.

    My clothes are in various states of unpacking -- some in closets, some on the floor, some still in trash bags.

    I should probably wash/dry every single item again, I'm assuming?

    If they have not been worn, so are "clean," drying should be sufficient. Much less dryer time is needed for normal clothing items if items are dry rather than wet. See the FAQ on dealing with clothing.
