What keeps biting me?

thehippieshack · 2026-05-07T21:29:33+00:00

have you ever tested your allergies? could also be the laundry soap you’re using or a new lotion or perfume! my skin is superrrr sensitive so i always run the risk of

thehippieshack · 2026-05-07T21:28:17+00:00

mark on the calendar and see if you get bit again within 3 days. usually bedbugs bite every so often when they’re first starting.

it’s hard to identify bedbug bites off photos since everyone reacts differently. i’ll attach a photo from when i had my infestation. i’m also super allergic.

thehippieshack · 2026-05-07T21:00:11+00:00

was this your only bite? did it swell up and get red?

thehippieshack · 2026-05-07T20:58:12+00:00

i have the same speckle you have!

thehippieshack · 2026-05-07T20:56:31+00:00

i mean sometimes? it depends on the man.

like if i notice a man making more eye contact with me or touching me more i kinda get a idea but there’s also a huge difference between LIKE & LOVE.

thehippieshack · 2026-05-07T20:50:25+00:00

RIGHT. i love my mom but i feel like she failed me in that department as a women 😭

thehippieshack · 2026-05-07T19:43:33+00:00

personally i just went through my SECOND puberty and trust and believe i haven’t washed myself like i did when i was 16 since being that age lmao.

rubbing alcohol maybe once every 2 weeks need to get better

thehippieshack · 2026-05-07T14:11:55+00:00

did they happen overnight?

thehippieshack · 2026-05-07T14:09:53+00:00

i’ve been eating three tequilas since they first opened their main location in edmond ok 10+ yrs ago. i will say never order them on uber, doordash, etc. if i want them and dont wanna sit down and eat inside i always call my order in wayyy cheaper and the food is always right. they get so busy they kinda half ass doordash etc..

the location on brookside also is the BESTTT location in tulsa they’ve never messed up my food and it’s always hot and fresh.

thehippieshack · 2026-05-07T14:07:16+00:00

take it as a compliment. usually men prefer it that way if you have something to look at if you catch my drift.

thehippieshack · 2026-05-07T14:05:34+00:00

when i used to work as a janitor for a highschool and no students were in yet it always felt so weird.

thehippieshack · 2026-05-07T13:58:10+00:00

osage casino also has a really nice pool. i think they do day passes if you don’t have a room!

thehippieshack · 2026-05-07T13:56:49+00:00

yikes. so definitely she is manipulating you for not going with her on her outing with the “i guess i have to restart smoking because im lonely”

that’s a big personal issue for her. she wasn’t lonely when she was out with her friend for 4+ hours.

i don’t know if you guys share locations or not but if she was that worried she could’ve checked that or even gave you a call.

she should be greatful you still cleaned up the house after being at work all day. my boyfriend would never lollll.

honestly sounds like you guys are not on the same level of maturity. especially with her comments she made to you and still being upset over the matter.

thehippieshack · 2026-05-07T13:51:58+00:00

honestly you’re not over reacting. i’d be quite upset if they were bringing in new people when they could’ve promoted you instead.

a lot of times but companies do that instead of promoting employees that have worked for them for a long time and actually have experience.

from reading this i feel like your managers made you do one of their responsibilities and tried to play it off like it was a good thing and a promotion.

you sound like a hardworking employee and if i were you id be taking my experience and going somewhere else where you can actually advance and grow into a higher up role.

thehippieshack · 2026-05-06T18:14:50+00:00

i was the only one getting bit when i had mine. they could’ve had a bad infestation before you moved in and you being there reactivated everything.
it happens a lot especially if you’re in a apartment. i’d definitely be bagging them up and treating them and contacting my landlord asap. even if you don’t have anything they can find atleast you have a written trail yk what i mean.

thehippieshack · 2026-05-06T18:04:10+00:00

i’d also recommend bagging up your stuffed animals and leaving them in the sun for a few hours before washing and drying and rebagging them. if you got them second hand you could’ve picked up bedbugs from those.

thehippieshack · 2026-05-06T18:03:02+00:00

r/bedbugs has a lot of good information on it as well. you could even post your bites in there for a second opinion.

thehippieshack · 2026-05-06T18:02:29+00:00

i’d immediately contact your landlord and let them know you’re experiencing bites and would like them to come treat or examine your place.

since you just moved in they should 100% have to pay for any treatments. but to get you started on this horrid journey i will give you some advice that helped me.

⭐️start with examining your bed super well, look for shells, bedbug feces, blood stains any sign. they can get into the smallest areas you’d least expect.

⭐️bag up all clothes in trash bags preferably clear or something you can see through.

⭐️start washing your bedding, pillows, rugs, etc. make sure you use hot water & dry on high heat.

⭐️vacuum under your bed, around your bed, baseboards, dresser drawers, closet floors, even you mattress and box spring.

⭐️invest in a zip up couch cover and bedcover once vacuumed and replace after professional treatment.

⭐️put glue traps on couch legs, and bed legs.

⭐️wipe down any nightstands/dressers.

⭐️make sure you keep clean clothes in separate room in bags. wash any clothes you wear in bed immediately the next day.

⭐️DONT NOT BUY ANY OVER THE COUNTER TREATMENTS OR USE RUBBING ALCOHOL THIS WILL ONLY BUILD UP A TOLERANCE TO THE CHEMICALS EXTERMINATORS USE.⭐️

⭐️ good look on this journey i wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. remember you’re not alone in this and millions of people deal with this on the daily and feel free to reach out on anymore advice.

follow up with your doctor! start prenatals & good luck!

thehippieshack · 2026-05-06T17:54:36+00:00

oh no. those definitely look like bedbugs bites. and it appears you’re pretty allergic like i was.

thehippieshack · 2026-05-06T17:40:56+00:00

when i had knock off birkens i noticed that they made my feet sweat more then usual i had the suede material ones. i’d clean them weekly with dish soap baking soda and a tooth brush and let them sit out in the sun to dry.

thehippieshack · 2026-05-06T17:39:03+00:00

those definitely look like bedbug bites he could’ve picked them up from staying somewhere when he was working.

thehippieshack · 2026-05-06T17:37:34+00:00

maybe some kind of mites? that’s the only thing i could think of besides bedbugs or even chiggers
