Bed Bugs
Posted: 04-21-05 08:33am

Hello everyone, i'm just trying to understand if they are really bed bugs that bite. I have been itching for the past 3 weeks uncontrolable. And it is driving me nuts. I have put benadryl, caladryl, i've took benadryl tablets and nothing stops it. (screaming)help! I'm trying so hard not to go nuts.Please i'm begging anyone to give me some input

Believe it or not you may need to change the detergent you use to wash your clothes. I had a similar problem about three years ago. Try the brand "all -free clear." you can buy it at any grocery store. Try this before you go to see a dermatologist. It could just be an allergic reaction.

Thx andrewt
tes I will try that and clean and wash evrything w/all free clear detergent. But I also got an idea from a friend from work about putting bug killer on my mattress and close all the windows and stay out of my rom for 2 days. I'm going to do that too and change all my shets and make an apptr. W. My Dr. To.
Thx again for the reply

Hey listen I did the same thing a few years ago and it didn't help the problem. You might be wasting time and money. Start with changing your detergent and using a bath soap for sensitive skin. I had an exterminator come to my house and he said I didn't have a bed bug problem. (if they're in your bed you should be able to see them). I also went to my dermatologist and he thought I was crazy. You're probably just having an allergic reaction. I know what you're feeling though. It's a huge inconvenience. Try the detergent first without wasting your money.
