A bedbug proof mattress cover. Order it today. Doesn't matter what sort of life you live, anyone can get them and it's a horror show.

I already had one, but thank you for subtly reinforcing my irrational fear given I have never known a single person in my area who has ever gotten bed bugs. One can never be too safe....

It's one of the worst things that's ever happened to me. I still have the pest control service come every month and check even though it's been a year and it's always fine.

[-] Riccosuave@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I'm very sorry that happened to you. I don't blame you for being paranoid. Fuck. That. Noise.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Thank you kindly. Every time I feel something brush against my skin, every itch I have, every sock fluff I see on the floor and I'm traumatized again.

This is one of my biggest fears in life. Bugs creep me the hell out, I already have sleeping troubles, and I know I’d be wrecked by little bastards biting me in bed.

I can’t believe nobody has come up with a simple solution to this yet.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Me neither. They're insidious. I swear I had what's called delusional parasitosis for a bit as a result, and I caught it early and it was quickly resolved. I'm still running all my clothes and bedding through the dryer once every six weeks or so. I know I'm nuts but the feeling will take a long time to dissipate.

been 6 years for me. it lasted a long time but their shadow fades away eventually. I'm living in peace now

stay strong, survivor

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oh bless you for saying that. That makes me feel a lot better. I'm still very much in the crazed phase at this moment.

Have you seen Mark rober's video about bed bugs? It's so interesting!

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

No I'm scared l will retraumatize myself lol. I'll watch just for you.

[-] Shrek@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's really good. I love his approach to teaching and I never knew I wanted to learn so much about bed bugs lol Link

And it's good for more than just bed bugs - Mattresses are one of the more expenses items in your home (at least they are if you've got your priorities right), and all it takes is one accident (whether pet, child, or drunk spouse) to completely ruin it

Yes! My dog vomited on the bed just the other day.
