Last night I dreamt that I was in bed with my ex-husband (we were just sleeping) and he said to me that he felt like something was crawling on him. I looked and he was covered in maggots. They were all in his arm and leg hair and falling from his hair on his head. [...]
A week ago, I was bitten twice in the wrist area that looked like mosquito bites. It’s winter here, so I figured they were flea bites, or bed bugs. After that I wasn’t bit at all, until 6 days after! I was bit once in the leg, like another mosquito bite. I checked everywhere for [...]
SO I have had a few people tell me that it is bed bugs, but I am not certain.
Looks:
The bites themselves look like they are simple mosquito bites. Several of them. Around 20 on the left side of my back, more toward my side. But they are welted. And it’s not mosquito season here, so [...]
I just want to know. I thought about tide, rubbing alcohol, lysol, windex, bug spray, etc. I wonder if a combinations of lysol and windex or tide with Clorox beach or any of it could kill them. I also would like to know if washing dark and delicate clothes (as well pinks) with hot water [...]

I have even had itching because of a strand of hair on the outside of jeans. Almost any time I itch, I can find a hair on my skin or clothing in that area. It tends to get worse at night or when I’m stressed. It gets so bad some nights that [...]
I think I might have a bed bug problem in my college dorm.
Recently I’ve been waking up with bug bites, but I didn’t think much of it as I am up and out at late hours of the night. Today I woke up with my arm covered in bites. So I check my sheets and [...]
I’ve just treated my mattress with a good beating on the balcony, to un-dust it. Afterwards I felt like I had smoked a whole package of cigs.
Question: Are those dust particles so small that they will stay in my pulmonary alveoli and therefore are hazardous?
(I know about mattresses for allergics and don’t think I need [...]
Hello, I just discovered, after months of investigating, that I am allergic to dust mites. Most of them come from my 6 year old mattress. Do I need to buy a new mattress or can I simply buy a mattress allergy cover thing to wrap around it? Thanks
Yes, I wake up to itchy red bumps [...]

Theres an infomercial on TV touting the Space Age Foam Bed that makes the above claim regarding standard innerspring mattresses. The claim seems impactful, but is there any truth in it?
I know that old mattress IS awfully heavy, but don’t say it’s bugs!

I heard if you keep the same mattress for 10 years it will weigh twice as much as it did when you bought it brand new . All from the dust mites . Is this true?

I want to get a protective cover for my mattress that keeps out bed bugs. I know they have the bed bug proof kind but they are pretty expensive and I’ve had people tell me that they are just something to sell. Would a plastic cover work? If so can I also get one for [...]

I’ve been struggling with very itchy eyes since April. I’ve seen an allergy doctor. I’ve been to an eye doctor at least 10 times. I was told to use artificial tears. I’ve tried every over the counter brand. My allergy doctor prescribed me pataday which did not provide any relief. Then I was put on [...]
I have dust mites upstairs and had an exterminator here, but after three days the bugs came back. It is hotter upstairs so I have no bugs downstairs. I live in Arizona where it is very hot.
One way to kill them is to freeze them. Is there any type of spray that [...]

I found a loveseat covertable bed at the Goodwill yesterday.It looked clean upon inspection at the store; however, after asking a neighbor to help lug it up stairs, I noticed small feces (looked like from bugs) in the edges. So I took the mattress off, and the top of the fold out bed was COVERED [...]
Okay, so I took this nice wood bed frame out of the garbage, not literally but it was in the disposal areal, and 2 weeks later, I have bed bugs. I’ve verified that they are, I caught a few. So, sadly, i threw out the frame, not before writing "bugs!" all over the [...]

Do the dust mite mattress covers that just cover mattress works as well as the ones that zip closed around the mattress?
Do those types of covers (or which one) also work with bed bugs as well?
Thanks. We have dust mite covers but will be having guests over that I understand have had bed bugs [...]
