[SPAM]Bed Bugs how to repel them - Any suggestions?

[Guest guest]

You cannot see bed bugs, they are microscopic- I am not sure if you can feel

their bites or not, I do not know. I do k now that you can be allergic to them;

I have been skin tested, and am allergic. I have the allergen matress pad,

works nicely.

If I laid out $$$ for a fancy cruise, I would be reporting bugs to the

Stewards, to any management I could find. They do NOT want this sort of

troubles. If it happens they will be bending backwards to offer

compensation.

Ummmmm, Maybe you are thinking of dust mites. You can definately see bed

bugs with the naked eye. I know you can feel dust mites occassionaly,

especially when you breath in one when you're sleeping and choke on it. ;-)

What about one of those lights that is supposed to disinfect? I don't

really know if it works or not, but we have one that we use on our

beds, at our camper, and the dog bed.
