Bugs Attack
July 6, 2009
Im known for hating all sorts of bugs. Ants, roaches, lizards, mosquitoes(dont think they should be categorize under bugs but wadeverrr), etc.
Guess what? I was in Bangkok over the weekend and in JUST ONE DEADLY NIGHT, i got attacked by stupid bed bugs at GRAND DIAMOND SUITES HOTEL, ROOM 1901, KING SIZE BED with more than 20 or 30 bites altogether!!!! Its making me so itchy that my goosebumps actually stood. Disgusting hotel. My god, i didnt know bed bugs can be so lethal. I came back at wee hours 1am last night and had to visit CGH cos i simply cannot stand the itch anymore. At first i thought it was some rashes, will go away after a while, but the doc said i was bitten by bugs! And most probably its bed bugs since i just came back. FUCKIN HELL. And i spent $75 for consultation & medicine.
Its damn itchy, red and swollen. Now i look like someone who gotten some fatal skin disease. Stupid bed bugs bite my face & chin too…:( Almost disfigured. Came and googled about bed bugs…it really seems they did attack me.
-bedbugs are mainly active at night
-Its name comes from its preferred habitat: mattresses, sofas, and other furniture.
-The bites cannot usually be felt until some minutes or hours later, as a dermatological reaction to the injected agents, and the first indication of a bite usually comes from the desire to scratch the bite site.
-Patterns of bites in a row or a cluster are typical as they may be disturbed while feeding. Bites are often aligned three in a row, giving rise to the colloquialism “breakfast, lunch and dinner.” This may be caused by the bedbug being disturbed while eating, and relocating half an inch or so farther along the skin before resuming feeding.(YES MY BITES ARE ALL CLUSTERED….)
-most observed cases, bites consist of a raised red bump or flat welt, and are often accompanied by intense itching.
ARGH. I HATE BUGS & AIR TURBULENCE.
