on my sheets...low and behold, a bed bug. I feverishly conducted another search and this time found them in the mattress BELOW the top mattress I sleep on (I have two mattresses and a box spring). The middle mattress nor the box spring were not covered with a protective sheet. I killed the bugs I found, discarded the mattress & am notifying the super and the landlord immediately. The box spring did not have many signs of bugs, maybe one or two tiny dead ones and I am going to put a covering on it today and wash all my linens (again).

I really don't know where they could have come from. There are cracks in my floor that I am going to request to be filled. I went to Tulum, Mexico in April but I can't be sure if I brought any back with me from there or if they came from another apartment in my building.
