Hello everyone,
I work as a front attendant at an Urgent Care in the morning shift. My coworkers, including the doctor, suspects that the front attendant who works the evening and night shifts, is bringing bed bugs to the Urgent Care. However, I was new and I thought they just didn't like her. However, after working there for around a month, I woke up one day with around 15 bites on my arm. It was so red and I suspected that it was a bed bug. Then later that night I saw an adult bed bug on the door (which was next to the bed) I called my brother and he confirmed it was in fact a bed bug. We looked in the mattress and the box spring and we found 2 small ones (larvaes, I think) but that was it. We got rid of the whole bed and we sprayed the room 5-6 times. We washed everything and looked underneath all the closests and sprayed them. We even pulled the drawers off and looked to see if there was anything, then sprayed them. We even looked in the carpet and behind the painting on the wall. We sprayed every inch of the room. After we bought a new mattress (after 3 weeks of the infestation) we didn't have any problems. However, A week ago, I saw 3 bites. I thought they were mosquito bites. 2 days ago, I saw two bites on my hand and one on my arm near the shoulder. Also just today, I've seen around 5-6 bedbug bites around my elbow. At first I thought it was just a mosquito, but now from what I have seen today, I can tell it was a bed bug because they are close, form a line and are very itchy.
We have sprayed the room again washed everything in the room and looked in the new mattress 3 times just today but we saw nothing. Not even poop, blood, skin, or anything else. Am I getting bitten at work? (Since I basically sit in front of the computer, it's easy for the bedbug to bite me. ) or there might still be bedbugs in my room?
PS, after I got bedbugs, I've started changing my clothes in the car and spraying my clothes everytime I come back home. I also spend some time looking to see if there is any bugs hiding in my clothes. I've seen nothing so far.
Please help! I'm freaking out! x(
