Bugged Out

Someone told me about a new species of bed bug that has wings and buzzes about like a fly. It can only fly short distances, but its power of flight allows it to fly onto humans rather than simply crawling.

This person said he heard about it from someone else, so I’m taking this piece of news with a grain of salt.

Evolution usually occurs within a species as a survival mechanism. I’m thinking (if this is true!)the bed bugs evolved and grew wings in order to have easier access to their prey and to avoid any residual pesticides which may be on the floor or furniture.

Can anyone verify the existence of this mutant species? I really hope this is just some rumor.

Update: I don’t feel comfortable sleeping in my room tonight. I’ve seen about a dozen bed bugs in one hour, plus I can smell their musky scent, something I haven’t smelled in a long, long time.

FYI, blood and gut stains have reappeared on my sheets and pillows. And I have been itching a bit. But I digress.

In talking to people who also heave dealt with bed bugs, different people seem to have employed different methods of having a full-night’s sleep despite the itching, the paranoia and the biting stings that come with living with bed bugs. Some people drink to lull themselves to relax and sleep, others take sleepiing pills, some do sit-ups in bed with the lights out until theyre too tired to move. A few people have begun smoking pot to put themselves to sleep, even people who quit smoking it years ago.

So here’s my survey question: what do you do to relax yourself (or tire yourself out) in order to fall asleep desite the bed bugs which will most likely bite you during the night?

You can find my response in the Comments window. I look forward to reading the answers people leave.

Of all the places to be bitten by a bed bug, why my underarms?

The bugs are acting really stealthy (is that a word?), like ninjas. I don’t see them, I don’t see any stains on my sheets or pilow of their droppings or guts. The only way I know they’re still here is the few bites. I got the underarm bites a few days ago, causing me to scratch my underarms when I think no one’s watching. Already today five people have caught me and asked, “Are you a monkey? Ha ha ha ha!”

Yeah, real funny. They don’t believe me when I tell them mosquitoes bit my underarm. I’m surprised no one has asked me if I caught crabs. A real bad case of crabs.

Waitin’ for my paycheck to clear so I can order that Suspend from where????
