Well, now you tell me. I should have been shaving the X-wife's ****.....sure would have been cheaper in the long run.
Old expression, set the bush on fire and stab the critters with an ice pick when they come running out.
Actually I have seen people that slept on a bed bug infested bed and the rash from the bites is something to be concerned about. Check out the sites with customer reviews of Hotels or Motels, some really scary stories out there .
Had a big department store close down in NYC because people trying on clothing were bringing home bed bugs that had infested the store.
Buy a new mattress and when delivered they cart off the old one, in same van as the new ones that may cross contaminate the new ones. Make sure that mattress you buy is factory shipped in shrink wrap other wise you may end up with bed bugs in a new mattress.
Crabs and head lice are huge problems in the world. Way back both Egyptians and surprisingly people in Central America shaved their whole body's and wore wigs.
I cannot buy Amber's story about bed bugs, or being accused of bringing them in to a shelter. These suckers do not have anyone's name on them. Can and do come from any number of sources, same as head or crotch lice.
Anytime you see a roach for example outside your home before you go inside strip off all your clothing down to the naked as a Jay bird ---Screw the neighbors, before going inside. Watch those paper bags we put food into at the supermarket store them outside.
Bug A Phoebe here, not in MY home.
Oh and April, the only one of my children that came too fast for me to be shaved contacted Staff infection, damn near lost her. I instructed both my daughters to shave a few days before their due date, and wish I had done the same to my EX's before they came home from overseas. Not that I did not trust them, just the visits to the Clinic after they had been home a couple weeks was getting OLD.
