I had bedbugs once, and I basically had a case of delusional parasitosis as a result. I’m still not over it. Every speck on the floor, every slight itch, I still jump every time. Get yourself a bedbug proof mattress cover TODAY and your life can be saved.
What exactly makes it bedbug proof? I’ve avoided them and I’d like it to stay that way.
It’s a heavy duty zippered bed encasement. Idk seems to work. Also get those interception things for the legs of your bed. A simple investment that can save you a lot of headaches, NOBODY is immune to them.
The mattress case, because it fully encapsulates your mattress, reduces the areas where bed bugs can hide.
I’m sold, even if it means one more thing to wash. 😣 Does it make the mattress any warmer in the summer time?
Not really. And it keeps the sheets staying on better too.
This is actually a plus, I hate when the sheets come up in a corner.
Exactly!
I bought one, and looking up the leg interception things now. How often do you need to wash the mattress cover?
I usually wash once every couple of months.
That’s actually not bad, I wash my mattress pad that often, so it can be worked in.
Years from now when you never get bedbugs you’ll wonder why you listened to the crazy lady on the fediverse but I promise you it’s better than finding out the hard way.
The problem is that very occasionally there actually IS a bug on you.
One time I thought my arm was just itchy until I looked down and it had like a 2.5 inch long cockroach on it.
Yes I freaked the fuck out.
Aghhh… you’ve reminded me of the time I was in a room sleeping, but felt the sensation I was being watched, so I turned on the lamp next to my bed and a large pregnant insect crawled out of the bathroom in Palm Springs. I freaked out as it’s butt was full of what appeared to be a ridiculously bulbous egg sack.
I less than bravely called my sister in and instead of bothering to identify it, she grabbed a shoe and swiftly crushed it. It was a huge mess as the squish shot a juicy egg sack out on the floor. That night was my birthday lol.
Dammit we just had ants and I just got over this you monster
Funny you mention it, we just got rid of them over a month ago. Pretty sure I poisoned myself while killing them lol.
Yes
It’s a curse. 🥴
All the time!
I’ve woken up smacking myself thinking a spider is crawling on me, and then spend the next 20 minutes trying to convince myself that there’s no spider and its safe to fall asleep again.
I know the feeling, once I see one I can’t sleep until it’s dead or outside. 😳
I have thyroid issues, and when one of my hormones is out of wack, it feels like microscopic bugs are crawling all over me, especially in my eyelashes. That was A TON of fun to deal with until I realized what was going on.
If it makes you feel better, there are microscopic bugs that live and mate on your eyelashes. They’re called Demodex mites.
Yes I feel much better now thank you
