I must admit after reading about these bed bugs, it makes me think about our last couple of holidays where both myself and hubbie ended up with fairly bad bites which we always put down to mossies.
We had the room sprayed and the plug ins every evening to try and prevent bites.
However despite this we had some horrible bites which on hindsight did not look like mossie bites, but we thought that maybe the mossies were maybe more ferocious in Bali. They healed fine though.
Now i will be checking the beds thoroughly, on saying that if i see some i will probably be having a fainting attack.
To be honest though, for a lot of people bugs in general make people feel sick, i have seen people scream their heads off over ants, head lice etc, and all these things are present worldwide not just in Bali.
I will still be going in March
