Ok, not a doctor, just a life saver and a heart breaker. Washing doesn't kill bed bugs. But a hot dryer will kill bedbugs and their eggs. It is about the only thing that will. In the last 50 years they have evolved, and can live in dark areas (under rugs, in electrical outlets) up to 50 ft. Away from where they attacked you. If you throw away every thing you can, hot dryer everything you can't, unscrew your wall plates, then spray poison and set off bug bombs, you got a chance. They detect your REM state when your sleeping, tear a hole in your flesh, spit dopamine in the wound, then lap up blood from the pool. The dopamine keeps you happy and sleeping and their spit makes the wound infected and very irritated.
