I have recently been getting large, itchy welts on me. Right now, I have two on each wrist directly across from each other, and one on my head. I also got itchy bumps on my arm, toe, and ear a few weeks prior. This almost mirrors a situation half a year ago where I was getting the "breakfast-lunch-dinner" bites. At that time I was upstairs with my parents in my room. Now I'm downstairs in a new room and it seems they followed. I'm putting my matress in plastic (it's on the floor, no box spring) and I might spray some "bed bug killer" I got, but the entire situation seems hopeless. I work a minimum wage job and my family is struggling, so an exterminator is 100% out of the question. Yet, we live in a 3 floor-house and I shudder to think how spread out the infection may be. What can I do? Are my only options really to get rid of what little belongings I have, move in with someone else and start over? Or is all I can do is sit at home and get bitten up as the infection grows?
