I have bed bugs. I get multiple bites on my hands almost every night.

I have enclosed the boxspring with a latex cover, but the bites continue. I’ve sprayed with Home Depot insecticide, which says on the bottle that it kills bedbugs. I’ve sprayed every inch of my bedroom with this junk, multiple MULTIPLE times, including spraying the mattress. I’ve also done the routine of washing all bedding in hot water (I do it just about weekly).

I’ve spent so much money on this, it’s ridiculous, from replacing pillows to paying exterminators to buying mattress enclosures. Do I really have to just accept that insects dine on my blood nightly and smear it on my sheets as they depart? Do I have to move and trash all furniture and belongings? Should I go to bed in a beekeeper’s suit? What’s a guy to do?

I have always had warm skin. My hands arent the normal warm people have, mine are extremely hot. And everyone tells me it all the time. I never ever have a fever, but my hands and skin are always extremely warm. Could this be like a symptom to a disease?

I talked to my attorney about this and he completely blows this off stating that "we could say the statements were his opinion only and not medical expertise".

Health class again Just wondering what the easiet way to cure it is. Like if someone were to know the had it and wanted to get it cured with out anyone knowing about it. like would it be possible, and if so how? Thanks again!

I have read that taking decongestants and expectorants can actually Extend an illness like a cold or the flu because they are stopping your body from doing what it does naturally to combat such things. Is this proven? If so, why do so many people take SO many drugs to combat little colds?

PS- I’ve had a cold since Sunday and have steered clear of symptom relievers, relying on water, tea, mentholated lozenges, and as much rest as I can get. It seems to be clearing up, I’m just left with a hoarse voice and minor stuffy nose.

Medical Transcription Is this a good stay at home job or just a waste of time and money? I have tried a few other stay at home jobs and it was a joke! . Is this job different?
