Bed bug paranoia help?
Hey, I've recently developed a bit of a problem, or rather a strong paranoia, about bed bugs.
So on September 12th, I went to Paris with my boyfriend for a day (+overnight stay). Everything went well; I didn't notice anything unusual. When I got home, everything was fine as well. A week later, I flew to Greece with my best friend, and even after returning from Greece, everything was still fine at home.
But recently, all the news came out from Paris about the bed bugs in the metro, etc. All the videos and news on social media made me really paranoid, since I was recently in Paris and even used the metro. After Paris and Greece, I was still able to sleep peacefully in my bed until I saw all the videos.
I've changed my bedclothes and checked my mattress. Every lint I see on my sheets scares me, and I immediately think of bed bugs and even start itching.
Do you think it's really that bad in Paris, or is it just a trend/gossip? Has anyone had similar experiences?
By the way, I haven't heard anything from my boyfriend and best friend about the bed bugs. So they probably don't have any? But then I shouldn't have any either? Help 🙁

The two vacations are almost a month ago and so far you have not found any tricks (when bedbugs do not make skin reactions with every person) or any traces, have you? That’s a good sign.
I don’t think you’re a bit more vigilant after traveling, you’re logically trying to protect yourself from such an attack and vigilance is good for that. If something has actually been towed, you should actually see the first tracks on the bed frame or mattress in the next 8 weeks. So, feces or skins. The animals themselves are extremely difficult to find. Also pay attention to itching/crabble feeling, increased fatigue despite sufficient sleep. These are at least indirect references.
Toi toi toi, that everything is good!
Strangely, I really sleep in my bed much more uncomfortable than with my friend. I also have itching and a tingling when I sit in bed or in my room.
Today I am unfortunately with red spots, although not round but large spots and strokes were awakened.
fortunately, I just raised my bed sheets and found something crawling there.
I guess it was actually a bedbug:(
Do you have the itching and tingling only when you are in your bed and not with your friend? In principle, bedbugs are also contagious, so you can transfer them via clothes, shoes, backpack etc., the nymphs are only as large as a salt grain.
On the skin, it is impossible to read an infestation. The stitches can look totally different from man to man and a large part of people does not react at all, although they are bitten. So also untypical spots could be stitches. But it would be unusual that you only have them now and not on holiday.
The fact that you find bedbugs so easily in bed would be rather untypical. They are more likely to stay in totally hidden places, deep into any ridges or holes from the bed frame e.g. the nymphs are already more active, but are still very small and transparent, so badly recognizable.
I’m pressing the thumb that’s nix!
:(Mr., yes, if I find one more then I try to catch it
From shape and size it would fit, but color it is actually in the middle too bright. Bed bugs are really very fast, you can’t believe them. If you find another animal and catch it, you can also show it to a pest fighter.
I just uploaded two pictures:(
Thank you.
on holiday I actually had no itch and also no stains. But when I pulled up the bed sheet tonight at 13/14, and saw a tiny insect like that, I really panicked. I wanted to catch it, but it was too fast away:(
This is going to get rid of you need to do something and not write.
You get the gloves nice cleanser turn the sofa to take a flashlight and throw it sofa out the window..👍
This is certainly not a bedbug. It doesn’t look like the shape and colour.
What it is instead I can’t say, because the pictures were apparently taken with a potato.
Anyway, this whole bed bug in Paris is extremely overdramatized. No Paris is not fed with bedbugs.. It is very unlikely to have bedbugs with dragged in if you had no stitches during and after your holiday.
Don’t get too clean, otherwise you’ll develop a forced disorder 😀

Thank you for your answer, made me feel a little easier.
In the beginning I had no worries and thoughts about all the bugs.
Besides, it would have to be my friend because we were there together. That it is overdramatized I had the idea, but well, if you hear a lot of it, you see and read it then you get really paranoid and you think you have dragged yourself some too.
Yes the insect was quite tiny and had full panic, so I could not make a better picture:(
In fact, all the news and videos have made me crazy and I couldn’t sleep in peace for days xD Bald would have developed a coercive disorder with me, have now tied my whole room, controlled and cleansed.
Hope I will soon learn from this topic 😀
thank you very much
I’m guessing you’re free of juries now? I’m just going back out of vacation, and my paranoia is going to sit down for bedbugs. XD I stumbled over the post
To the photo: I would also like to see things on a 100-year-old camera: carpet/speck beetle larve 😀
Cute biesters, but well to get in the grip with regular dust suction and 1x/year all wipe with vinegar cleaner, especially in corners and behind foot bars and behind the foot bars scatter baking powder. Are not bad and come like paper or dust lice in almost any household, you just never pay attention to it if it is not a big infestation.
After a longer absence, she had a plage of them because they lived in a bedcloth in a bedbox. I’d like to have burned everything, but in the end, I’ve done almost all of them, and I’ve been quiet since then. Once here or there is a dead after a huge cleaning action and subsequent baking powder per year, but this is not so tragic.
I heard.
I really think:( xD
Hi.
So I’d say you shouldn’t worry about it. It doesn’t mean that you have them. So don’t make a head

The stains can also mean something else.
You better watch if you have stitches and if you realize that you have stitches, you better watch again.
