Ok when I lived back in the caribbean there was this bug...I don't know the scientific name of it but we called it a bush bug...the smell that the bed bug makes is EXACTLY THE SAME.. a strong irony smell. It's really hard to describe though :§

Im sending a link to another site because I cannot upload the pics at this time, but they are exactly the same. The smaller ones aren't brown though but bright red, your blood that is :/

The sad thing though is that my husband has to sleep with the light on, and every minute I go checking to see if there are any more, THERE WERE!...even with the lights on!

I can't deal with this, the itching and the long lasting marks, I have fashion shows to do when I go back to Italy, what am I supposed to do now? Reply to this

I think you need to move to a new room - as soon as possible - if there is a reception open 24 hours - then make a scene - make them wake up the manager.

Next - take anti-histamine for the bites - it will stop them itching (so much) - and above all - and hardest - don't scratch them.

Good luck! Reply to this
