This place is very short on advice, isn't it? I am no expert- but it seems the mental toll of this is exceeding the physical on you. I know how it is. It's panic. Hopefully you can keep things in...

Thanks everyone! Yep - it is the emotional toll of this that is getting to me. I've never even had evidence of a bite - I don't react. My husband and son do. It's the mere thought of bugs in my bed...
