I took off my long sleeved shirt to go to bed and saw a bunch of raised bumps on my arms in patterned clusters.

I work with a student who has an absolutely filthy backpack which I have to handle daily; and I sit in a fabric chair at my desk. So naturally I thought I got bedbugs from work, freaked out, and used all the cedar oil I had left spraying down my apartment. But after checking all my fabric items, I concluded it wasn’t bed bugs because everything is perfectly spotless...

… except for the dust. It’s dust mites. They look just like the pictures and I’ve been having awful allergies and dry eyes for (seemingly) no fucking reason.

Home Safety Hotline trained me for this very moment. This is my time to shine.

#I liked the game but please I don’t want to play it irl #I don’t want flowers growing out of holes in my arms please and thank you. I don’t want to be a tree.#I knew it wasn’t bed bugs deep down because even though my floors look like shit because I haven’t mopped them in forever #I keep everything really fucking clean for someone with executive dysfunction #and I’ve always showered and bathed regularly #Also my “bites” don’t quite look like bed bug bites #They’re not red enough and they JUST showed up at night after sitting on the floor next to a very dusty vent #interestingly enough right next to the sites of two mosquito bites I just got (and mosquitos make me swell like a balloon)#I’m guessing the mite “bites” popped up there because there was already a histamine reaction happening #so why not have an even greater histamine reaction since it’s clearly weakened #also they don’t itch at all which is weird for bed bugs
