I'm so sorry that you're having to deal with this. I came home from a week away in a nice motel and 2 days later I was all broken out. I was afraid I'd brought home bed bugs. Went to the dr and turns out I had poison ivy from pulling it from under my shrubs preparing for winter. Funny thing is I'd pulled that vine before always thinking it looked like poison ivy but because I'd never broken out I thought it must not be poison ivy. Its unrelated to your bed bugs but what I've learned is that you can touch it and not get a reaction and then one day bam! Your body will react! Still I'm so sorry you have bed bugs. I think I'd rather deal with this poison ivy.
