I've been diligently checking my bed, desk, etc. every day

and also getting immensely itchy EVERY TIME, but to be fair, while I've yet to figure out a complete list of "things that make me itchy", I know for certain that "thinking about things that make me itchy" tops it.

My conclusion: Definitely probably almost certainly no bedbugs. (I hope!)

At least, I haven't *seen* any or had any more tell-tale bites. So if there was one, maybe it was a SINGLE one that had just been haplessly transported away from its home and unceremoniously squished upon disembarkment.
