This is kind of a random place to ask, but fuck it.

Staying in La Plata Argentina to learn Spanish. Found a good deal on an AirBNB with solid reviews. The woman who owns it has been a PITA the entire time. I showed up and there were some dirty dishes. She told me that was impossible bc her relatives cleaned. Showed her pictures and she was still in denial lol.

Last night I got no sleep because I was itching. Found little black and brown spots on sheets, according to google it is probably bed bug casings or w/e. I just know the owner of the place is going to deny it and be annoying. AirBNB is notorious for bad customer service, so idk if I would get any refund. Especially since I'm a week in and the stay is until mid January.

I am low on funds... What do y'all think. Should I try and fight the bed bugs? And if you've ever dealt with bed bugs, give me the rundown... I don't have a drier but I was gonna wash everything and dry it outside, then spray RAID...

Or should I use my credit card 😬 on another place I can't afford... I don't get paid until January, so I don't want to do that. But I don't wanna see these bugs spread like the plague and end up in my shit.

Bedbug bites are always in a line. Take photos of the bites and the sheet before you move. You will not beat the be bugs. They are worse than cockroaches. The longer you stay there the more likely you'll bring them with you.

They’re not always in a line, they’re often in a line. I’ve had plenty of single bites and some clusters. They tend to be in lines where your body contacts the bed.
