Hello,

I have been staying over a friends house for most of my time. I come home every now and then. Today when I came home I saw a bug crawling on my leg. Upon closer inspection (after it was flat and dead), it was a bed bug.

Then I saw another one on my shirt. This is the first time that I have seen any actual bugs, but I have had mysterious bites for quite a while. Both bugs were crawling downward on my body, as if they were trying to find somewhere to burrow…YUCK!!! Would they be in my hair??

My question is, what do I do. Apparently the bugs just hitched a ride on me. Is there a need for me to go into all out attack? Or should I just wash all of my clothes and linens JIC? Also, I have a plastic/vinyl/nylon cover over my mattress. Should I worry about them getting into my mattress?

Please advise! I have never come into contact with something like this at all!!

Also, will tehy bite my cat? I have heard that the little buggers only like human blood…is this the case?

Thanks so much!!!
