Comments on: Waking Up Covered in Bug Bites Was Not My Idea of a Five Star Resort Vacation http://dev.philatravelgirl.com/2017/05/01/hotel-bedbugs-waking-covered-in-bug-bites/ Just another WordPress site Tue, 30 Oct 2018 09:28:27 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Erin http://dev.philatravelgirl.com/2017/05/01/hotel-bedbugs-waking-covered-in-bug-bites/#comment-3317 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 09:28:27 +0000 http://dev.philatravelgirl.com/2017/05/01/hotel-bedbugs-waking-covered-in-bug-bites/#comment-3317 In reply to philatravelgirl.

I literly just got back from Cuba today and waking up to leave to go home this morning I’m covered in bits I’m so damn itchy it’s literly 5:25am the next morning and have yet to sleep yet as I’ve been up itching so much and googling about bed bugs I’m so worried I brought them home

My arms were covered pretty well. It happened at our “condotel” – hotel condo – in Hawaii a few years ago. I went to the Housekeeping Department and the woman there recognized them right away. She arranged for a plastic mattress cover as an interim fix. There was an area on the side of the mattress where they clustered. Unfortunately, a stray bug or two can be carried from place to place with no regard for star ratings. There was a new mattress on the bed the next time I went to Hawaii.

Thanks – everyone does react differently as you say. I’m sorry to hear of your experience -what an ordeal no one should have to endure. As for the doctors, they should have listened to you. You are correct, they aren’t always in the mattress but in the upholstery, hence my query into the room furniture at the hotel. I hope life is back to normal for you and you’ve changed all those doctors!

I enjoyed the cruise – with spots, itching and all. I was disappointed that the hotel experience ended this way as it was a fantastic stay until checkout day

In my experience flea bites cluster together, but you would have been able to see them in the bed if they were there—I think. But, I think bed bugs are likely. My mother had a bunch of bites. They only ever found one bug—and it wasn’t in her bed. I was once attacked by what they called sand flies in New Zealand, but it was in the day time and outside. Sorry you had this experience. I hope you still had fun on your cruise.

I can’t imagine what I’d do in your position. I can only assume the GM is inclined to take the defensive tact here and deny bedbugs but if your GP thinks so, then that’s certainly enough information to proceed with a complaint further. If the exterminator is a professional, surely they can search or advise what other bugs could be in the area and cause such a reaction.

And yes, I am currently scratching after reading your post!

Your bites don’t look like mine, but we all react differently. Mine looked more like welts, and I did have the typical 3 in a row pattern. I went to 3 doctors, and NONE OF THEM recognized them as bed bug bites. I was put through allergy testing (to the tune of approx. $900.00) and bought a new mattress, because the allergist thought I was allergic (mildly) to my 10-year old tempurpedic bed, which contains latex. The dermatologist I saw hardly listened to what I was telling her, was completely disinterested in seeing the photos I had taken of my bites (which clearly showed the 3 in a row pattern). I will say this to you — typically, bed bugs feast on the upper body only (as it was in my case). They satisfy themselves on your upper torso, head, neck, shoulders before the need to go any further south. I found the bug (2 of them) crawling on the floor one day — I found NO EVIDENCE whatsoever of them under my mattress, in the corners, etc. They had nested behind my upholstered headboard. I went through costly ($1,400.00) heat extermination process, bought mattress, boxspring, pillow encasements, and have done a lot of praying since March. I found Benedryl liquid somewhat soothing as well as cold compresses. I believe I got them via crowded city buses, but you can never know. I had been at a NYC hotel 6 weeks prior to outbreak, but after discussing with them their prevention procedures, felt they weren’t the source. Who knows. Good luck to you.
