Bed Bug Infestation: Story of bedbugs attacking baby

Hi, Im heather and Im showing you my bed bug infestation so that should you end up in the same situation, you may be able to avoid the run-around I received and get to the root of the problem.

At first we thought I was getting bitten by a spider over and over, but after the first visit to the doctors (and ruling out spider) I started taking pictures. The first picture of my shoulder is how I attempted to rule out bedbugs. Because I thought they could not bite through clothes or would not travel that far to bite me.

The back shots below are bites that progressed in intensity over an 8 day period. The 2nd day of the back (what I thought was a ) rash I went back to the doctor who ordered a whole bloodwork up which included testing for thyroid issues, white blood count, food allergies and a few other things. When it came back normal she sent me to an allergist. I told him each day I get up and it hurts so bad I cry. But as the day goes on it feels a little better but then at night its awful (turns out they were just chomping on me again and again every night). Anyways, the allergist gave me a steroid cream that did nothing.

2 days later Im back at the allergist with a few choice words. Im diagnosed with contact dermatotis. I get an antihistamine and a different cream. And that i need to take an allergy test for materials and metals that will cost about $800. My husband decides Im allergic to the new mattress cover and he tossed it. Within days its better. And in a week its gone.

Unfortunately, the welts on my arms, the ones I originally thought were spider bites are back. Im annoyed thinking there must be a nest somewhere. Well today I put my son down for a nap, I come to check on him and bedbugs are crawling all over my poor baby!! Now there is no question we have a bed bug infestation.

At first I thought they were ticks and I strip him down and toss him in the bath and search his whole body and hair for the devils. But after further research of his bed I captured some and yep, bedbugs!

Im hiring an exterminator and its gonna cost $1,400 to get rid of them and a whole month of treatment!
