I thought this thread was about the Saudi with the alleged burns.

Third world nation immigrants will bring them every time.
Maybe immigration reform should include a bed-bug check.

Used to be a sure fire way to cure oneself of ‘The Crabs’.
Scissor cut half of affected area.
Use lighter fluid on other half.
Set fire to lighter fluid half, then as the survivors are escaping the fire, stab them with the scissors.
Works every time...(So I am told).

Heard that one back in 1966.
Also heard blue ointment and tight underwear does the trick.

Yes, good old Blue Ointment.....
Works,just make sure it doesn’t come in contact with the mucous membrane.
Also, ‘clap’ becomes NSU if an Officer/NCO/ or on the career track......
BTW, I am just citing these bits from what I have heard NOT personal actions. That is my story and I am sticking to it. <: <:

The weak point of bedbugs is that they cannot handle temperatures greater than 120F even for a short while. So the best bet is to move furniture and smaller items like clothes and rugs, to a rented truck with a heater in the back. When the temperature at bed level reaches 120F, you are done.
At the same time, fumigate the empty building.

Bedbugs are hard to get rid of...The Plaza Hotel in New York has them.
Too bad we can use DDT on them.
To: yefragetuwrabrumuy
My mom tells the story when they were in New York with my dad training for WWII. The basement they rented from some lady had bugs of some sort, so they waited for a really cold day (it ended up being after Christmas) and took EVERYTHING out into the yard (rugs, curtains, etc.) and then scrubbed down the place.
The landlady came home and my mom didn’t want to embarrass her when she asked what the heck was going on. Mom said it was a custom she grew up with that just after Christmas they give the house a good cleaning.
Can’t remember if it worked or not!
