Apparently bed bugs can be "money bugs" if you're bitten enough times! ICK!!!! http://www.bed-bug.org/bed-bug-lawsuit/

Suck it up. You are Homo sapiens sapiens and accordingly are granted dominion over the earth. That includes bed bugs. There's no insect alive capable of withstanding our mastery of the toxic. Mix up a batch of ammonia and deltamethrin. Douse liberally. Fill every crevice with Cryonite. Make the double-sided carpet tape trap permanent. Wake up at 5 am and starve the fuckers. Treat it like the war it is. Worked for me.

Thanks for the mention, Leanne! I hope you do have a false alarm. Warning to others: suckafree's right that your sheets are not the problem. But it is surprisingly difficult to move away from your bed bugs. And be warned--they are really getting around.

Perhaps they are flea bites? Fleas can be as tenacious as bed bugs and have similar looking bites but they're not quite as creepy.

Why is there always a bed bug horror story around the holidays? Can't you and 60 Minutes wait until June when we're not wearing itchy, itchy wool?

OMG. Bed bugs give me major Smith College flashbacks. Is it "Coming Out Day" already? [rimshot]
