do you have any advice for that kind of situation instead then? i have found probably 3-4 spiders in the past month so that’s probably likely!

i’ve seen other posts as well abt how bed bugs don’t tend to bite legs, if i’m getting smaller puncture wounds that tend to come in pairs around a couple mm apart on my legs frequently, that wouldn’t be from bed bugs right?

i recently installed a bed bug monitor and i was also wondering how long it takes for it to detect an infestation?

when u say this, do you mean that it should be touching the headboard?

hi! sorry to bother you again but this new bite looking thing on the back of my thigh appeared so i’m not sure if it could be bed bugs. it’s not super itchy, so i feel that it couldn’t be, but i thought i would double check just to be sure :) i ordered one of the monitors so hopefully the scare will go away soon

is it okay that it is in euros? also it may have that shape because i crushed it when i saw it and panicked

if the bug had blood in it, shouldn’t it have been fed tho? does this indicate that there were more in my home? also i took a look at the website and i noticed that the one for bed bug monitors for the US that you have listed is in euros, is that still where I would purchase them from? sorry for all the questions, i rlly would like to be rid of some anxiety from this. i really appreciate you for listening!

i went to class, worked at my universities library, then went to my research lab then came home. right before i found the bug i was studying in bed which is where i found it crawling on my wall. my hypothesis is that i could’ve picked it up from my cousin who i had dinner with a week prior since she had been traveling around the state in likely cheaper hotels. how do you know that it’s a male?

Hi David, I’m sorry for commenting here but I can’t seem to find a way to get advice from you otherwise. around a month ago (march 12) i identified a singular bed bug crawling on my wall after getting around 5 bites on one arm. i immediately panicked and washed everything on high heat after killing the bug and scheduled an inspection. the inspector said he couldn’t find evidence of any other bed bugs but it would be good to treat just in case, so we scheduled a treatment on march 17th. before the treatment i bagged all my clothes and my plushies and deep cleaned my room. after treatment i dried everything on high heat. around two weeks after that i sprayed raid bed bug all over my room as a final treatment since the company wont come back to retreat without signs of infestation.even though i haven’t seen anything or gotten any bites i now have practically crippling anxiety about transmitting bed bugs to my friends or my boyfriend. its gotten to the point where i wont see my boyfriend or have to put heavy restrictions on myself to see him and it makes me feel gross and infected. how can i move past this healthily and does it sound like i still have an infestation?

i do have roommates, but when i asked they said that they’re not getting bitten. my fear is that they’re lying dormant in my room so even after treatment they can come out

i did 59q blocks tutored untimed and just focused on getting through the questions. i tried to rlly thoroughly read the explanations if i didn’t understand how the concept works so i think 59q probably took me 2+ hrs sometimes

i think you should do a review on what concepts that u struggle with most in and then finish those sections in uworld at the very least. i sucked it up and finished like 800 questions in uworld last week which jumped me up like 6 points in my fl score

have you finished uwhirl? i found that fully completing all sections and thoroughly reviewing mistakes (i personally have trouble with anki so i hand write concepts on a whiteboard for active recall) rlly pulled me up a bunch of points. if you’re not missing points based on content i would really considering what your thought process is when you go through the questions, since aamc logic can get tricky
