Pathogens and Bug Bites

Last night I was meant to be studying. Instead, I counted my bug bites. I have 42. They itch like mad. I am also taking a class that is all about the pathogens transmitted by arthropods. I am not convinced that I am going to come home with one. That or I need to get a blood test before I come home clearing myself of all possible sicknesses. Really, 42.
Also, the 3 year old I am living with yesterday walked into my room and said "There is heaps of your messes on this floor". Yes, thank you, I am aware. Unfortunately, when I get stressed out, I make messes. Due to the number of exams and assignments due in the next couple weeks, I am becoming stressed out.
Plus, obviously I need to worry about dying suddenly due to a pathogen. I am going to come home paranoid, and bleach-happy. Also, did you know that on average 100,000 mites live in a square meter of carpet. Yes, that is a lovely little fact I learned in class. Just in case you wanted to know.
