Didn’t know we had them till we were infested
I live with my parents and sister. My dad has been itching and breaking out in hives for about 2-3 weeks now. We thought it was seasonal changes bothering him because my mom sleeps in the same bed and was not getting bit. My sister wasn’t experiencing anything and neither was I. Genuinely thought my dad was just having allergies or something.
All of a sudden, yesterday, my mom sees 3 bed bugs back to back while she’s reading in bed (my dad hadn’t come in yet) and pulls back the pillow to find a shit ton of them. Strips the bed, more, everywhere.
My sister tore her room apart and found just one.
I tore the couch and living room apart and found nothing.
But the state of my parents room is insane.
I am so sad because I love all my clothes and feel like I have to throw everything out or something. Or wash everything on high heat which will ruin most of it.
We’ve been spraying and washing everything. I just wanted to complain because I truly understand this can happen to anyone. But fuuuuck why meeee.
