K-Girl has been complaining of waking up every morning with new, suspicious, itchy spots. We've concluded that they're spider bites. The problem is, we don't know where they are, and now they're attacking me! This afternoon I noticed a really itchy spot on my ankle, my forearm, and my calf. I used to chastise K-Girl for scratching, but I find myself seeking relief in that same fashion - HELP US!!Does anyone know any good remedies to get rid of/repel these pesky bugs so they'll stop eating us alive in our sleep?!?!!?!?
They're probably bed bugs, not spiders. Maybe fleas (which are TERRIBLE) but fleas are bigger and sometimes you'll see them. Sorry to be the bearer of terrible news. I guess there are other, similar nasties that it could be. I had fleas on my mission and it was terrible. I haven't gotten bed bugs, but I think they're more common in the US and I've read a bit about them.
ReplyDeleteHere are some pages that talk about them, and you could probably google it too. And I'd get your management involved.

I think they might be bed bugs. Gross, I know. Any way, I love your blog. I am so excited to have found it.
ReplyDeleteI never really thought we had bed bugs. My guess has always been spider and I'm going to stick with it. We haven't been bitten in days...
ReplyDeleteThat is one aggressive, wandering spider, to go and bite both of you multiple times. I hope it was, for both your sakes.
ReplyDeleteAnne Lind, I would recommend just not sleeping. By the way, how did you get this sweet blog template?
