You cannot win. I had bedbugs, i fought them for a year and only won by throwing away everything i owned. I don't hate many things but i hate bedbugs.
if you can sleep thru the night knowing they're there, do so. By the way, don't bother trying to move to a different room, they will find you from your CO².
When you leave that dump, take the hottest shower you can stand right before you leave and scrub your hair (ugh im getting ptsd flashbacks from bedbugs in my hair). Change into freshly laundered clothes that you prepared and left outside.
When your arrive back home, don't bring a thing from your trip inside. First get everything washable (or dryable) to the laundry and put that shit on high heat. What you can't bear to throw away stays outside until you can cleanse it with heat too. (Black trash bags in the summer sun are enough).
Pray it was enough.
God i hate bedbugs
Yup, i feel you on the hair thing. The first "symptom" was me thinking I had a dry scalp. Fuck this so much.
Glad to know others have suffered through this. I will survive. Just sucks donkey balls that I have two finals today. ðŸ˜
