Comments on: Rashes From Hotels - Learn About The Horrors You Can Bring Home http://www.itchyskinrash.net/rashes-from-hotels.html Tips to Help Stop Itchy Skin Rash Problems Tue, 07 Feb 2012 08:49:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Mary C http://www.itchyskinrash.net/rashes-from-hotels.html#comment-7591 Mary C Thu, 19 Jan 2012 16:34:48 +0000 http://www.itchyskinrash.net/?p=382#comment-7591 I've been in this hotel for three nights now, planning on staying a while due to household construction. Every night, outrageously itchy skin. So much so, that I have scratch marks all over my arms, face, entire body. I've stayed in countless hotels due to the nature of my work. This hotel is semi-luxury and near my home. I've checked for bed bugs. The first night I was so exhausted from my house construction situation, I didn't realize until morning that I'd scratched the hell out of my skin. I put the little plastic "environmental" sign on the bed, so the maid would know to change the sheets (it instructs to do this if you want new bedding). But the next night, at time for bed, I went to crawl into bed, only to find my own pink lint from a pair of sweat pants still between the sheets.... I was horrified, remembering the itchy time I'd had previously, so I wore my sweat pants again to bed to protect my skin. Still, face, body, everything, itchy. I had thoroughly searched for bed bugs, looking up on line for what to look for. I have never encountered this problem before. So itchy!!! The next morning I called the manager right away to tell her that the maids had not changed my bedding, even tho I had requested thus, and she sent two maids straight away to change the sheets. That night, last night, upon getting into bed again, again, itchy-itchy-scratchy-scratchy!!! So bad!!! It was late, so I put my sweat pants on to attempt to protect my skin... Then decided I would switch beds. When I pulled down the sheets for the next bed over, I saw hairs and a few balls of lint... Under the sheets of the bed I has not used!! (two queens) Horrified, that it seemed this bedding hadn't actually been changed before my arrival!!! Either that, or the washing machines may be inefficient. Or cheap detergents. I ended up going down to the lobby (also to get some fresh air after being attacked by itchiness), and requested new sheets from desk clerk. It was late, and I was tired. He gave them to me (albeit confused he was at my request), and I brought them to the room, laying them out over the bed I had not yet slept in. I did not use the comforters nor the pillows they provided, yet still had a horribly itchy night!!! I'm having to make arrangements for another hotel now, which is such a bother. But I am concerned about this issue. And my skin is uncomfortable and sad. I’ve been in this hotel for three nights now, planning on staying a while due to household construction.

Don't bring back some insect like a bedbug, scabies or cockroach to your home. Definitely check your luggage before leaving a hotel.
