The blistering is called a "bullous" reaction, and for me that is a convincing sign that it's a bedbug, even if I have only 2 or 3 bites. Go to a pharmacy for antihistamine (ointment and/or orally). Your husband probably just doesn't react. Consider yourselves both exposed, and treat your things accordingly.Some of my bites are blistering. Does anyone know what might be causing them and the treatment. I seem to be a bug magnet. My husband in the same room is getting nothing.
A medical center may also put you on some type of cortisone.I started a conversation about all the bites I got. Some of my bites are blistering. Does anyone know what might be causing them and the treatment. I seem to be a bug magnet. My husband in the same room is getting nothing.
My objection is that there is usually more naming than shaming. It is generally never clear that the albergue management has been informed, and have not been given the opportunity to address the problems. As it stands so far, the claims being made about this albergue are dated, with no suggestions that the problem persists today.Sadly, Comillas appears to be one place where "naming and shaming" is warranted.

What is the message to members? Comillas is a seaside town with relatively expensive alternatives to this albergue. Avoiding it would be difficult for many. So is the message to check carefully? I would say that about every albergue - after all, they are all at risk from yesterdays pilgrims, or those that stayed three weeks ago.
Sorry @peregrina2000, but I think Ivar's message is just as valid for Comillas as it is for any other place.
I already had, but I have checked again. There were NO comments about bed bugs before 2016, and no reports of them this year. Hardly evidence that 'the problem goes back years'. Further, all the problems were reported in just one month - Sep 2016. That would be about the length of a single breeding cycle. I could draw the conclusion that something has actually been done to address the problem. That might be a bit speculative, but probably no more than some of the other speculation that goes on from time to time.Have a look on Gronze - looks like the problem goes back years.
"Las noté subiendo por mi cuerpo" Yikes!
True, but that doesn't make it look anything like 'the problem goes back years' - which was your wildly exaggerated claimThe ones climbing up the body of poor Sandra were in summer 2015. She seemed to take it well.
Hi I walked the Norte from Irun in May/June this year staying in municipals when there was room with out any problems. Stayed in the municipal in Comillas which I really liked and had no problems with bedbugs and did not hear of any. I had my sleep sack and pack treated with bug spray. You'll love the Norte it's so beautiful but don't be afraid to ask for local advise on the the coastal tracks and get off the Camino at times. Buen camino.
