It amazes me that the lost and found systems on mass transit can actually work, given the number of people who travel every day! So kudos to the system!!! And happy news for you, Anna. So glad this worked out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-it-rains-it-pours-3/page/2#post-1721042 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 14:55:22 +0000 AviaMariah 1721042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woo Hoo!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-it-rains-it-pours-3/page/2#post-1721039 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 14:49:37 +0000 Diana 1721039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!

What good news!

She looked at all the red spots and asked me a ton of questions. Since they weren't itchy, not bed bugs, not spiders either due to distribution on my body. I don't have pets and didn't interact with any recently so probably not fleas.<br />She thinks it's an allergic reaction. Saturday morning I did use Tom Ford Portofino body oil. It's bonkers expensive but a treat for me. I don't use it on work days as it's highly perfumed. I've had the bottle for a quite a while, so maybe it's gone off.<br />She said to keep an eye on the spots in the next few days.<br />Then I got an email from Metro, they had a possible match for my wallet. I had to leave work early to get it as the lost &amp; found had really limited hours. It was my wallet, complete with the cash!!! The lost &amp; found guy gave me some grief for all the stuff in it as he had trouble finding my driver's license. So I guess a purge of the wallet is in order. I already found a shoe stamp card from the now closed Solestruck in Portland, Oregon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-it-rains-it-pours-3#post-1720706 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 20:08:26 +0000 Nebraskim 1720706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My university had an infestation several years ago and we brought in the bedbug-sniffing dogs and also purchased some sort of "heats up the room" contraption that supposedly kills them. You have to remove items that will not withstand heating up to about 140 degrees for several hours (like candles, food, etc. but candles are forbidding in our residence halls anyway.) We spent several thousand on this but got the problem under control. There are periodic small outbreaks at the library, in labs (where people bring them from home) but this heater thing works wonders. Hope this is a bit of a false alarm. I was terrified I had them once, but it turned out to be fleas (equally horrible). I am one of those people whose body over-reacts to bites so my skin looked pretty bad.&nbsp;</p> <p>A "cheater" way to deal with BBs here is to put the items you think might be infested (like clothing, bedding ,etc.) into sealed plastic bags, and then leave in your car on a super hot day for several hours. When it gets to be 100 outside here, it can get to 140-160 in the car.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-it-rains-it-pours-3#post-1720698 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 19:52:43 +0000 Jules 1720698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had bed bugs and my understanding at the time, based on a lot of research, was that a hot dryer was more important than hot water washing. Some things that are dry clean only or can't take a hot water wash or go in a hot dryer *wet* can go in *dry* - this might apply to your wool mattress cover. Basically the dryer acts like a Packtite, heating up things that can't go through a wash/dry cycle. They don't need a full cycle time as it doesn't take long for dry items to heat up in a dryer.<br /> We didn't have fully functional W/D when we went through this, so my husband took many bags of stuff including shoes to the laundry mat and ran them through the dryer. A few things did not survive - something I can't recall melted, and some boots shrank so I couldn't wear them anymore, but they were still wearable just too small for me. It might be a tool in your arsenal &amp; peace of mind to throw some things in the dryer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-it-rains-it-pours-3#post-1720660 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 17:56:14 +0000 Diana 1720660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes.&nbsp; You really can't get a break, can you?&nbsp; </p> <p>I hope the wallet turns up soon... but if I were you I'd cancel all the cards anyway and request new ones just to be on the safe side.&nbsp; You never know.&nbsp; (I've lost mine twice - once in Greece, which you might remember was a gigantic disaster, and once at work, where I got it back untouched in 1 hour after someone found it and turned it in to security).&nbsp; </p> <p>And I hope you don't have bedbugs! I haven't experienced them (thank goodness) but like Sally, I have had scabies (probably picked up on public transit) and wouldn't wish that nighttime itching on anyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-it-rains-it-pours-3#post-1720655 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 17:23:16 +0000 RobinF 1720655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is really a bummer! Why is it that these things always seem to happen at once?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-it-rains-it-pours-3#post-1720575 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 12:48:24 +0000 Helen11 1720575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Anna, I feel for you, all these things piling on at once! Hang in there, and take any break you can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-it-rains-it-pours-3#post-1720557 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 11:03:20 +0000 Anonymous 1720557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, no, Anna. Why is it that life can really pour it on so relentlessly at times? I thought I had bedbugs after a trip once, it turned out just to be some other bug bite in an unfortunate configuration. So hopefully you'll see no further marks, your wallet will turn up, and you can get on with finding the light at the end of the tunnel. Thinking of you... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-it-rains-it-pours-3#post-1720537 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 09:50:06 +0000 Sally 1720537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yuck...nothing worse than something that ruins your sleep like bed bugs. &nbsp;I had scabies once after a holiday in Fiji where my son got infected excema. &nbsp;I remember thinking i actually could cope with all this if I could get a decent night sleep so i sympathise on that score.&nbsp;<br />I hope you get the wallet situation sorted and you can get a good rest. &nbsp; </p>
