    They still make mattresses with two sides?

    I’ve been experiencing bites that I think are from bed bugs, but I inspected my mattress and didn’t find anything. Would it be possible they’re INSIDE the mattress itself?

      If you have bed bugs, it will be like a rash. We have a problem in our building, and I did not have a problem, I let two people in to look at my bed and they said you do not have bed bugs. I said I knew that otherwise I would have been bitten. As soon as they left I felt lousy. I now have a rash and I thought that it was just the mattress becoming old and maybe the insides affecting me. I was going to turn the mattress over this afternoon, and then I noticed on the opposite side of the bed, I had bugs. One side was clear and I never bothered to check the other. So when I saw those, I killed them straight away, you can do this with your fingers they die easy enough, however, when I turned the mattress over, I noticed black on the mattress, like they have been doing their business. If you have black anywhere, then get rid of the mattress, and get rid of it, if your son does get a rash. You have to wash and dry your clothes and bedding on as high a temp as possible, heat kills them so I am going to go around with the iron and boiling hot water. I might do the water first on the carpet and then when dry use the iron but obviously only use an iron if you don't mind replacing the carpet, hot water will be bad as well as it might shrink the carpet.
