omg i'm terrified of bugs, mice everything. I would have a hard time killing a mouse, and I hate seeing one thats dead in a trap, but they are NOT welcome in my bed/bedroom/house. My theory - based on my latest scary irrational dream - is that it is a land orca whale that runs around and chases people. They have sharp teeth, so its likely he was just testing you out. He might not have liked what he tried or maybe he was just trialing you -like wedding cake shopping. I'd definately work on having a pile of fish at your bedside to throw his appetite off next time

I stayed at one hostel on a deserted island in Fiji where I knew two guys beside me had come from a previous hostel with bedbugs. They said they had done the fumagation routine - which I didn't believe given how remote the islands we were in were.....and.....I knew the place we were at was 'supposedly' clean, but by that time, I had been sufferring from death bug (i don't know what it is but it caused sickness pretty much my whole month there) for about 3 weeks, and wasn't about to get 'bed bugs' to top it off.... So I slept in my VS boyfriend sweats, socks up over the sweats, and a long sleeved lulu lemon zip up shirt/top/sweatshirt thingy and little dollar store finger gloves I found in my backpack. Thankfully, there was only a small sheet and airconditioning (which was really too cold in any event for the room)..... I realize if there were actually bed bugs I probably still would have gone down, but in my mind, it allowed me to sleep. Just remembering that time now makes me so thankful we live in North America - where, for the most part, aside from this post, we can sleep without crazy things attacking us!! |

Fishy, I would be moving out. You are one brave woman! I got bed bugs in Arkansas while on a hiking trip. Itch! Itch! Itch for three weeks. But, thankfully, didn't bring any home. |

Hey Fishy, Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but I was just talking to some moms in my dd's book club and they were telling me about a 4-H camp out thing they had last summer. When they got up there was a bat in the cabin, which they all found rather creepy, but not dangerous so it was pretty much forgotten when they packed up and left for home. One of the moms told her own mother about it (a public health nurse) and she advised them to call their pediatrician. Apparently in NY there is a high enough prevalance of rabies in bats that if you wake up to find a bat in your room you are advised to go through the rabies shot series whether or not you have any evidence of a bite (because bat bites can be very tiny). The entire 4-H troop had to get the shot series because of one bat (that they didn't catch for testing). I guess the shots weren't so bad but I was shocked to hear that is the public health protocol in this state. So....I think you should call your doctor and see what they think you should do. Rabies is fatal so I think if you're even a little concerned you should get the shots. Just not worth the risk. ![]() Signed, Debbie Downer |

Well let me put y'all's minds at ease. I called the nurse helpline and she said that small rodents rarely have rabies and are not known to transmit rabies to humans. So I think I'll be fine!

I'm glad you're not rabid FC. However I'm still not 100% convinced you're not an alien in a Fishy suit... |
