Yes it is that microscopic.
Oh my goodness, I'm really a victim of this thing called the bed bug.....
I feel so disturbed yet helpless about this because it is not easy to rid off and is difficult to find its nesting.
And now even as I'm typing this post, I feel the itch all over.
Uncertain of whether I'm being mind-effed or it really is the case that the bed bug bites are killin me softly (with the itch)
My first encounter with it was probably 2 months ago? Like on my comforter when I was lazing on my bed in the late night.
These pests are nocturnal so it makes it even harder to catch them when it's daytime, when I'm awake considering that I seldom stay up late.
And the first time when I saw it, I identified it through my knowledge from watching animal planet (this program called "monsters inside me" which features different personal recounts of pest attack) and also my best friend, Google.
And that was how I confirmed my finding.
As it was already past 12 midnight, I didn't want to wake my parents up to tell them about it and decided to only break the news to them the next morning.
However, my mum didn't quite believe me the next morning because she conducted a thorough search of my bed and bed surroundings for the bed bugs but to no avail.
And I had no evidence to show her because I was too shocked upon finding 1 on my bed and did not snap a pic of it nor catch it.
And so,,,,,,
Last night, when I was about to laze on my bed before falling asleep after a loooooong day, at around 2am,
I saw a more developed bed bug as compared to the one I first saw and confirmed that it was a bed bug given its distinctive body size and shape!
So it was a moment of like excitement and frustration.
YAY cause I finally caught the culprit and it's enough evidence to make my parents believe the existence of this nocturnal stupid #@$#% pest feeding on their daughter's blood.
NAY cause it means I'll still be at risk and the sofa outside will be my temporary bed. ='(
BOOHOOHOO!!
And yea, I've started to read up on it and will eventually find a way to EXTERMINATE IT!
And the lil bug that I caught last night as a "specimen" is now hungry because there are "hunger bubbles" forming in its abdomen. Some small transparent bubbly stuff!
Playing hunger games with it now. OKAY I AM SO LAME.
This thing is just driving me crazy I gotta admit.
And I think the carrier of these bugs is the luggage which belongs to either 1 of my previous maids. ><
Possible symptoms of bites:
Red patches, itch, marks (looks like pimples) that stay for weeks, allergic reactions, psychological effects
Current Status of Patient (Evelyn Lie):
Itch, irritation, angsty, sleepy, feel as though there are creepy crawlies under my skin.
