Bed Bugs! One word....EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! I don't have bed
bugs, but with all of the hype surrounding bed bugs at the moment it makes me
wonder if I am at risk for contracting these nasty little critters. I mean bed
bugs is like the new mad cow disease or
swine flu epidemic. It's an epidemic
that America never knew it had. Five years ago no ever talked about bed bugs. I
didn't even know bed bugs existed. Until, all of sudden every time I turned on
the news there was another story about bed bugs and the threat they pose to you
and your loved ones. Every time, I go near my bed now a days I can't help but
wonder if these strange little creatures have made a new home out of my comfy
cozy bed.
The thought of bed bugs attacking
my bed poses so many questions like: How
did I get them? Would I feel them crawling on my skin? Do they bite? Does it
hurt? Can I give my bed bugs to other people? Will they mate with each other and
make like a super bed bug? What do they eat? Do they live on my left over
cookie crumbs? If just by walking by some bed
bug infested bum on the street am I at risk for one jumping ship
and festering itself on my body and
later in my bed? Is there some type of
scanner I can make potential suitor's walk through that detects bed bugs? Why
do I think I would have suitors lined up to go through a bed bug scanner? Are
they expecting payment? There are so many questions and no clear cut answers.
I mean these news stories are really great about exposing the truth about the unknown,
but what do you do once you are made aware about the unknown? Is life ever the
same again? Can I ever go back to a life where I didn't know about bed bugs and
their desire to ruin my life? It almost makes we wistful for a time when I
didn't know about bed bugs, and didn't worry about the hygiene of every one I
met on the street. I think the best thing to come out of this worrisome
discovery of bed bugs is the fact that I have taken notice of all of suitor's
hygiene, and have become much more selective of the men I allow near my bed. So,
thanks bed bugs for making hygiene a priority and giving me higher standards. I
appreciate that. I may never get laid
again.
