    i freaking hate them
    everyday there's a new one in a new area D:<
    recently, the most annoying bites are on my left elbow and on the back of my right knee
    the one on my elbow is just itchy, but the one on the back of my knee HURTS
    i need to go to the store and get some aloe vera....

    Mix in some baking soda with your aloe vera ointment, that helps relieve the itch and the "bruise" will disappear quickly.
     
  3. ^ baking soda? thats new..

    if you dont have ointment ready, you could always use your spit... sounds disgusting, but theres this substance in your saliva that stops the itch....

    well first of all, i started to get the bites like a week ago (when i was in vegas at caesars) but i'm still getting bites at home; they're pretty common around where i live, and i have a cat, so he might be bringing in some bugs too.
    2) ya i'm hot-washing my sheets today
    3) yay i got my ointment :D
    4) bites are still there D:<

    If you tried watching your sheets and that dont work u may even wanna consider getting a new bed maybe (especially if its an old bed) because I remember watching something on TV saying that there are a lot of bed bugs we just cant see them

    could always try "sterilising" as opposed to "disinfecting"
    hehehehe

    keeping in mind that disinfecting is more of killing bacteria/germs/bugs to a certain "safe" level, where as sterilising kills them all~
    eheheh

    I used to get bug bites... but somehow they just stopped coming to me for blood... I think its the taste of your blood that attracts mosquitoes... and it could also be whatever you ate before, because I know that you're not suppose to eat bananas or something sweet because it'll get into your blood stream and that's also why mosquitoes are attracted to you.

    You might want to consider changing the bed cuz it sounds like you got "beg bugs" and no matter how you clean the sheets, they are still there.
