Should I be freaking out about bed bugs at work?
I am trying to calm myself down, but I am seriously afraid of bed bugs -- I dealt with them last year and the end result was moving, after spending tons of money to try and get rid of them, ruining most of my clothes in the dryer, a slight additction to sleeping pills, three martinis a day weight gain and now almost a year in my new place I still have recurring nightmares, post-traumatic stress and a great fear of those fuckers.
OK so then I hear throught the rumor mill that a client was visiting last week - nonprofit agency - and the social worker saw some bed bugs crawling up the wall to her office by the client. She killed them and told the client he could not come back until he was bed bug free. An exterminator came Tuesday and sprayed her office and adjoining offices. BUT hello, they could have travled and laid eggs elsewhere in those days in between and my office is the floor below, nearly underneath hers.
What's the likelihood? Should I stop freaking out? Should I leave right now, strip naked outside my door, shower and drink three martinis with an ambien? Mm actually that does sound kinda good...........
