I started experience bumps/hives/bites on my leg and arm. At first, I had explanations for what could be causing them. Then I got them on my wrist, and had no explanation. Of course, I started to internet search and bed bugs came up as a possibility. After work last Friday, I came home and searched my apartment. I found a bed bug behind my bed (on the floor close to the wall), and I found another one on my couch. I live in a studio, so the couch and bed are right next to each other, separated by a nightstand. I immediately contacted my apartment company, and they had someone come a couple days ago, on Tuesday. I hadn't cleaned out of fear of getting rid of any evidence. I bagged my sheets and purchased mattress and box spring encasements. I figured since my sheets are a dark purple, I wouldn't be able to see anything, and it would be easier with the white encasements. To which, currently, there are no spots of any sort showing up on the encasements. He inspeceted many things in my apartment and found no activity. He said he wouldn't think I had them if I hadn't kept the ones I found and showed him. I'm trying to get them to come and check again next week, but they only will if my management company says its ok. I still had new marks on my arm when I woke up this morning. I'm so afraid they wont come and recheck, and I don't know what to do. I haven't even slept with sheets on my bed for a week now. I keep desperately searching for more bed bugs so I prove they are still here. I'm slowly losing my sanity.
