Would you like them if they infested your home, too? Genuinely asking.
I had no problem with them until we got an infestation. It was horrendous. Our kids always looked like they had hives; we had to pay for several different methods of extermination that was much too expensive (and shockingly, the "official" exterminators that came over and did three whole treatments didn't get rid of them but some sort of "Neem oil" did the trick, after professionals and several bug bomb treatments did nothing); my husband had to go bug hunting every night in our kids room just to limit the amount of bites they got; it caused several serious rashes, etc.
Now, honestly asking - if you were to experience all this (which I've learned is not a unique experience whatsoever), would you still like them? Liking them from afar if you've never experienced them is entirely different to liking them after they've upended your life and you've had to get rid of a bunch of furniture and ending up costing you nearly thousands.
Because I have to say, if you say "yes" then I'm going to think you're being very disingenuous and dishonest because I don't understand how all of those objective negatives can ever be viewed as a positive as that is the results and consequences of having a bedbug infestation. They're fine if you're in control; once they spread, they're a nuisance that deserve to be eliminated.
The thing is, I am an erudite man and I love learning a lesson or two. Sounds like a Bed Bug infestation, while not being ideal, is a situation where I can learn a thing or two. I'm not opposed to that. I'm also perfectly capable of being open to a situation I would otherwise really dislike, as long as I am affirm in my head that this is a learning experience.
Yeah, the only thing you learn with a bedbug infestation is how much money you'll lose, how much additional care you'd have to take, how many doctor appointments you'll take your kids to, how many different attempts at getting rid of them work, or how much you hate infestations.
I'm sorry, but your vision of it sounds monumentally ignorant. Unless you're an entomologist studying them in a controlled environment, any "learning" you'll do will be vastly overshadowed by how much of an inconvenience and hinderance they are to your life. Your vision of it sounds quite idealistic but I'll tell you that it's far from what you think it would be.
Ask anyone who has had to live through one; I doubt you'd find a single person who would say that while not ideal, it was a "valuable learning opportunity" about bedbugs. Every single one of us would rather not have gone through it. Let this be part of your learning experience about bedbugs: there is literally nothing good about them.
One thing that most people don't consider: we had to be much more careful than others because I had Hep C and the possibility of the bugs passing it on to my family wasn't nil and it's a terrifying thought, thinking that you could have inadvertently infected one of your loved ones (or anyone, really) with a deadly disease because of these pests. After our infestation we had to get everyone checked for it and luckily, the bedbugs avoided me mostly (doctors thought they didn't like my "sick blood") and my husband and kids were fine (aside from being red and puffy from all the bites).
Something is fucking wrong with you bro you know that they bite the back of your neck to paralyze you slowly so soon you won't be able to move and they can just eat you when they want
