I've been having issues with bed bugs in my home since around April. It all started when I started sleeping on the living room couch for a while at night. I started waking up the next morning with raised welt like bumps all over my body that were insanely itchy (calamine lotion and hydrocortisone cream don't really help). I wasn't sure what they were and no one else in my family did either and they actually kind of treated me as if I was crazy or something despite the fact that I have visible bite marks all over me. A friend looked at the bumps and informed me that they look a lot like bug bites not an allergic reaction to something. So I ended up cleaning up my own bedroom up pretty good, washing all the sheets and went back to sleeping in there. The bites stopped after that. Then about a month later my mother started having the same issue but her condition was literally 10x worse! She had them literally all over her body! Same thing started happening to my brother and father shortly after. I didn't really have anymore issues at that moment when I was sleeping in my bedroom anymore. But the biting persisted with the rest of my family. We didn't know exactly what type of insect was causing the issues but my parents sprayed down different areas of the house with pesticides multiple times to no avail. We only found out that it was bed bugs during a trip to the doctors for my father for his bites. I had seen a few of these bugs around in the bathroom and on a sofa that I was sitting on. The doctor showed me a picture of bed bugs online and voila! that was what it was. So we or at least I was able to confirm what was causing the issue in our home.
But yet after that doctor's visit neither of my parents have done ANYTHING about it.
I've recently been hanging out in my little brother's room again and started getting these bites again with a VENGENCE. Within 2 days I gone from rash free to at least 12 different bites on my body. The itchiness this time is so bad that I think I'm about to rip my skin off from the scratching.
Now I am not sleepinng in my bedroom at this point and I haven't for the past week almost and I don't want to until I can clear everything out of my room (it's a mess right now) and spray things down with a pesticide specificially for bed bugs. But I've seriously reached a level of paranoia and I seriously feel sooo itchy all over all the time. I keep feeling as if something is crawling on me. It's affecting my sleep too. I've tried talking to both of my parents about it and they both want to play dumb and act like they are in denial about our home having a bed bug infestation. They both are still getting bitten, especially my father on a major scale. I recently had a really bad fight with my mother at night about it all because I seriously can't take it anymore. She keeps telling me that we'll clear the house and get it nice and tidy and spray it down. But yet NOTHING has been done. Got into another fight with her today about it because I'm really pushing for hiring an exterminator. She started complaining about how expensive it was and I agreed. But if she's not doing anything about it and I'm afraid that spraying it with bed bug spray will somehow either not work or make matters worse then we have no other choose really. She said that we'll have to take it up with my father. But he again is in denial of it and keeps finding other "reasons" why we're having these issues from allergies to all sorts of weird things. I just keep telling them though that it is BED BUGS!!!! And that they are difficult as hell to get rid of and that spraying something in the house may or may not even work from what I have read online. But they just don't want to hear me out.
I'm literally at my wits end with this whole situation. Not only am I getting bitten over and over again but my family does not want to listen to a single word that I have to say. I even offered to give my dad whatever is left of my student grant money after they take my tuition out along with part of my student loan so that we can have a professional handle this. He just again kept on going on and on about other reasons why we are having this issue. I really at this point don't know what to do regarding the bugs and my parents. I don't know what I have to do or say to make them finally listen to me and realize that this "problem" is not going to go away on it's own. I'm starting my freshman year at college the end of this month and that has been stressed out enough as it is over it. I do not need to wake up to itchy red welts all over me and to not even want to sleep in my own home on top of that. The rest of the family is getting bitten too so it's not just me. I seriously can't even put in words how much this is effecting my overall wellbeing. Sounds stupid, I will admit but I can't help it. I don't feel comfortable even in my own home. I'm just so desperate at this point to find someway to make my parents DO SOMETHING about it and to listen to me.
