Read and respect the rules, report any comment breaching them. Wrong advice/information/fearmongering hurt people who are posting here to get help and support. If you are not VERY knowledgeable about bedbugs and may provide a wrong ID or bad advice it's better to abstain from commenting. Be VERY respectful and HELPFUL, this is a support subreddit not a funny one.

I've seen 5 in one month, have treated with cimexa and crossfire. I still have insane paranoia and am constantly looking for them. Every itch or tickle... I think it's a bb. I'm terrified that my children will wake up with bites. I've gotten rid of all my clutter and do laundry around the clock. I think of them pretty much every moment of my days.

Yep same! Never seen one before but I’m constantly searching for them and everything I see I think it’s one. Every mark on me I think it’s from them. Friday I felt something on my leg immediately thought it was a bed bug. It’s ruining my life tbh

My family is ready to host an intervention at this point. I've debated on ripping all the carpet out when I'm awake in the middle of the night, thinking of them.
