Answer: Nothing

It's been more than a week since I last got a bite. Since, in fact, anyone has gotten a bit in that bed. At least I think that's the case. Steve, who stayed here for a few days while I decamped to Eric's, didn't mention any bites. And I didn't see him scratching like he wished his skin would come off.

It might just be luck, but I'm hoping it's the vacuuming.

As an FYI, I did vacuum 4 spiders off the bottom of my futon frame. Maybe they weren't biting me, but I'm sure they were up to something. Cheering the dust mites on?

Little fuckers. All of em.
