Is it my detergent or bedbugs?

My husband thinks we own bedbugs. I have little red scabs on my pay for, and he feels itchy when he get in bed. Are bedbugs so tiny you can't see them? How do we know what's going on? We've be using Purex detergent.

Answer:
Bedbugs are small but visible. The problem is finding where on earth they hide. (cracks, crevices, creases)

But bedbug itching is the ABSOLUTE worst itching you will own ever experienced. It wouldn't start when you got into bed, it would be adjectives day long. I know this from unwelcome personal experience in a holiday rental.
You can see them!

if truth be told you may not be able to see them...hose your clothes without detergent or softener...if it doesnt progress away...then move about to your doctor.
If he feels itchy when getting within bed, it very economically can be the detergent. Lately my bedding has cause me to get itchy so I dream up its my detergent. Because you wouldn't get bit that at the double upon getting in bed.

Looking at wikipedia, bedbugs release a foul odor and you can see the bites on you. They are going on for 3-5 mm in length so noticeable. If you aren't seeing any and don't see any bites its likely detergent. I dont know give or take a few your scabs though.
A reaction to detergent would appear as hives or an overall red impulsive.

It could be fleas, also. You can buy a flea bomb at the pet store, and they do a good undertaking for the whole house.The bites are little, red and extremely itchy. The bites scab over.

If they are bed bugs: Use this site.

You should be able to see them, although they are tiny. Flip up your mattress and look below it. They like to cover up under the mattress during the light of day.
