I first noticed a couple of red welts on the right side of my upper torso when I woke up one morning. At first I just assumed that these were mosquito bites. But then the next day I woke up and had a few more. The next day, again a few more. Of course I did what everyone does these days, hopped on to my trusty laptop and started working with Google.

It didn't take me too long to arrive at bed bugs as a possible culprit. I actually found some pictures of bed bug bites and compared them to my red welts and bingo, it was very clear to me that bed bugs were the problem.

These are a couple of great resources on dealing with bed bugs:

Notify the health department and the landlord in writing ASAP. Do some research like on this site here and do what you can to report the problem immediately. Here is a link to bed bug law in New Jersey that also may help.
