Fleas Not Bed Bugs

Last one week was hell. Almost 11 days back I woke up with lot of scratching my legs & arms. For few days I thought it was a allergic reaction. After Benedryl didn't cure it away I suddenly figured its some kind of bug infestation. Since it always happened when i was in bed I assumed it was bed bugs. And then the nightmare began. I spoke to people who have dealt with bed bugs & heard their horror stories. I called our Slumlord Rick Chua to get it fixed. The Asshole refused. I filed an online complaint with Health Dept. But i started thinking maybe its not bed bugs. It could be something else. Like Fleas. They are always fucking with Pizza. So I trapped one of the tiny motherfuckers in a box & showed it to Jenna who had just had her house cleared of fleas 2 weeks back. She confirmed that it really was fleas. What a relief.
Got Flea Bombs from Home Depot & Bombed on Sunday. Then I mixed Baking Soda with Iodized salt & sprayed in all over my floor. Its Tuesday morning & I am still working on putting back the house in order. I have already washed the clothes 3 times in last one week. Last night was the 1st time I slept more than 4 hrs in 10 days.
