How Long Can I Live With End Stage Cirrhosis

Name: Evelyn Housseau
Location: Gap (05)
Date of first discovery: September 2005
Remarks: infestation in a Formule 1 hotel

Story ( quote):
" During a night spent in a hotel f1 GAP 05000? I woke up the morning the bed full of bugs, after having stated their presence by a service person, I am leaving my contact section. the next night buttons appeared as intense itching. Not knowing the names of my attackers doctor tried to treat me, disinfection of clothes, medicines, my stay in the south of the Mediterranean would be lost;. On several occasions I have contacted the hotel, it s the next Friday as they told me it was bugs, with repayment of the room I was stated that the room had been disinfected for 2 days. I'm back home earlier than expected I went to see my GP who has never seen it in his career, this morning I've complained to the police who do not really know how to take my complaint, I will send tomorrow registered mail to the DDASS GAP 05000. Tonight I meet you at j n my dermatologist because I have still not solved the problem of care. Is there any possibility of preventing such a situation, I think the hotel trivializes the event, is what I can expect compensation of moral and physical harm for over a week, I should say that I am in contact with the public and the recovery will be difficult tomorrow ... "

Treatment performed: ? The hotel seems to have done ... but no further details.

Councils could be Useful
- In an outbreak in a public place or a hotel, do not hesitate Contact the DASS. The bed bug is a pest resurgence in full against which it is absolutely necessary to fight. The event should never be minimized.
- Think disinsect or get rid of luggage and clothing that could have been in contact with bedbugs in the hotel.
- Tell your doctor to make them aware and maybe help to think of bed bugs in a more systematic.
- Avoid Formule 1 hotels Gap:)

Question to those going there:
What legal recourse for a victim of bedbugs in a hotel ? What are the steps to follow, who to contact?

Thanks to Mrs. Evelyn Housseau for his testimony.

Case 1 [not really solved]

Name: Anne
Location: Paris
Date of first discovery: May 2005
Remarks: a single bug yet discovered

Story:
April 2005. Every four or five days I noticed a bite on my body. The first under the big toe, then on the leg. I think of a mosquito and is trying to treat me with my usual ointments. But it does nothing. I go to the pharmacy and show my shots. The pharmacist, intrigued, watches and gives me a topical corticosteroid and an antihistamine (anti-allergic). Several days later, injections have eased slightly, with less pain and itching, but others (of arms) replace them. I take a visit to my doctor to tell him. I prescribed a corticosteroid stronger than the previous one. After a few days I realize that this does not work better. I then found a way to relieve these atrocious itching: run them under very hot water (be careful I do not recommend this to children and people with very sensitive!)
early May, I'm getting very concerned. I never see an insect, I do not understand where do these stings. I sometimes feel a strange odor and nauseous around my bed. A search on the internet then directs me to the bed bug. The disturbing evidence compels me to act so quickly.

Treatment performed:
first time
- vaporization of 'Baygon Verde' (I had it at home) around the bed, on the baseboard, between the floorboards, and gross error on the mattress. CAUTION: It is strongly recommended to use a insectides like that on the bedding. Spray on the mattress (with slats).
- washing clothes at 90 ° which can be washed at this temperature.
- insulation in plastic bags of clothes I can not even wash.
- obviously, the room is uninhabitable, I sleep elsewhere.

second time (a few days later)
- careful passage of the vacuum everywhere, in every corner, in every little hole in the mattress. I discovered the bodies of some insects that will prove be harmless.
- Careful crossing over the entire surface of the mattress of an iron to heat up and steam position.
- new spray Baygon on the floor under the bed.

>>> a few days later, after inspection of the room, discovered the carcass of a bed bug (which I immediately recognize from having seen a picture on the internet).
The months that follow, I watch incessantly, with a few sprays of Baygon, and other natural insecticide pyrethrum plant. I find no other bug bite and have no more, but I dare not reinstall my room.

third time (September 2005)
I still have doubts, I am very afraid that one or more bugs have escaped my vigilance.
I go in a "Glue and tries to tell him about my case, it seems rather a hurry, I confirm that the bedbug is a real mess. I explain that since May I have found one and have not been transplanted, its only response will be a smirk and a "better for you." I sell an insecticide to dilute and spray on the floor and the mattress (Permax). I do it, I spray the baseboards on the floor, in corners accessible and in each hole of the metal structure of my mattress.

Today
Still no second bug discovery, but I'm still not completely quiet.

Tips that might be useful:
- act as quickly as possible and carefully.
- for bites: unnecessary use of ointments containing corticosteroids, which are ineffective in these cases.
- treatment with high heat is perhaps the most effective (steam irons, washing at 90 °).

Question to those going there:
Are there any cases of "infection" with a single bug? Is this possible? How can I be sure it is none?
