once you have been bitten by a bed bug, how do you treat yourself,home,furniture?

my wife and i just discovered that we were sleeping on an infested bed, infested with bed bugs and both of us have been bitten quite a few times over the last 2 months; thinking that we were getting bit by mosquitos we did nothing until yesterday(9/29/07) i threw out the WHOLE bed but her and i and i think our children all are still itching. I want to know what can we all do to rid ourselves of the itching? My wife an i both have brusing on various parts of our body, what can we do to heal ourselves an heal our skin?

1. Bed bugs like dark, warm, and sometimes damp climates. If your mattresses are old, there's a good chance they're living inside them (including the ones in your kids' rooms). When a bed bug bites, it injects an anticoagulant agent around the wound, just like a mosquito. This frequently leads to the bruising you're describing. They also emit a sickly sweet odor; well actually their waste does, so if you're smelling something sweet, yet acrid, in parts of your house, chances are there's a high concentration of them in that area. You'll need to get a fumigator in to do pest control. Toss the mattresses and clean all your bedding (including your pillows!) well. Do a thorough clean all through your house, taking special care of upholstry and carpets. This ought to take care of the situation.
