Are you up to a midnight feast in bed? What if your were the feast? It's happening everynight, all over the country. BED BUGS are back and they are dying to "eat you." Bed bugs bite and suck blood from humans. Bed bugs are most active at night and bite any exposed areas of skin while an individual is sleeping. The face, neck, hands, and arms are common sites for bed bug bites. The bite itself is painless and is not noticed. Small, flat, or raised bumps on the skin are the most common sign; redness, swelling, and itching commonly occur. If scratched, the bite areas can become infected. A peculiarity of bed bug bites is the tendency to find several bites lined up in a row. Infectious disease specialists refer to this as the "breakfast, lunch, and dinner" sign signifying the sequential feeding that occurs from site to site.
Protect yourself. Start out with a fresh new mattress from The Bed Store and start using a "mattress protector" from the very start. Wash your mattress protector right along with your sheets. I recommend that you get two protectors so that you can put a fresh one on while you are laundering the other. Not only will this protect you from bed bugs, but also from the allergyns associated with dust mites. Mattress protectors insure your hygene while at the same offer protection for your mattress warranties by keeping your mattress free of spills and bodily fluids. No mattress should be without a mattress protector.
