red, swollen, itchy, small and large bumps on my thighs and arms in rows; my friend was "unscathed." We researched online, checked with our college's housing department for any information they could provide, and determined the cause to be bed bugs. (We notified the co-operative, which supposedly arranged a time/date for chemical spraying of our room: but the appointment, for unknown/unclear reasons, did not take place, and we were not recompensed for the whole incident ie. prescription drugs for treating my skin condition and infections, the next month's rent because we decided to move out right away.)
