Have you ever woke up to a bedbug in your bed who was nibbling on you?

When I was a little kid I lived in a cockroach-infested house. They got into EVERYTHING, including crawling on you and getting into bed with you while you were sleeping. It could have been something like that. If that's the case, you might want to hire an exterminator.

That wasn't what's called a bedbug, Peanut. Bedbugs are microscopic and you wouldn't have seen it crawling away. I would imagine this insect had either come in with your laundered bed linen, or crawled in through an open window or something, making its way into your bed. I'm sure it's a one-off occurrence anyway... certainly not a bed bug. Brightest Blessings.

We lived in a little (pop. 7) town for awhile and for about 2 months every morning I'd wake up with 2 little holes in my arm about a quarter of an inch apart. The first few weeks I didn't notice it much and didn't worry about it. Then I thought maybe it was from outside. Finally, one day I decided to clean the stuffies that were on our headboard and low and behold, a BIG, FAT SPIDER was in there. This thing was a good 2-3" around. I managed to kill it with Raid and then beat it with the can for good measure. I never had the bites again so evidently it was biting me each night to feed. EEwwwww makes me shiver to just think about it. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

When you mentioned in Darkwing's response how your hubby had been in the woods, my first thought was it couldn't have been a tick?? But they are very small. Bedbugs can reach a 1/4 of an inch though. Bedbugs are getting to be a real problem all around and more common, almost every hardware store near me had adds in their window on how to eliminate them. My friend who now lives in CA has had to get rid of not one, not two, but three mattresses already and she's only been there two years! I have the most disgusting old mattress going, don't ask how old it is, and I long for a new one, and so many times I'll see these perfectly beautiful like new mattresses out in garbage piles along the block, and I'm thinking gee, wouldn't mind taking it home to replace mine, but then it's like whoa, why is such a beautiful like new mattress being thrown out..and I'm guessing bedbugs.. here's a link about them http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/bedbugs/

we have no bedbug. try putting out your mattress out in the sun for the day and those buggers will go away...i think.

That wasn't a bedbug, they are microscopic. Nope. Never had that happen. Maybe I'm not delicious to the bugs. Well so much the better. I need my sleep and I don't need insects biting me.

That would freak me out! Seriously, I don't blame you for being scared about it. I don't even know what one looks like, but I'm fairly sure I've never had one in my bed. The only bug I've ever had in my bed was when I was 10, and I started sleeping with my light on again. I seemed to attract a few bugs with that light.

Sounds like a beetle?? Hmm, now your making me feel ichy!! LOL:)
