Modification of footed pajamas to confirm arthropod bites: The Modified Onesie Biting Bug Assessment suit.
When children present with features of bed bug bites, many parents are reluctant to accept the diagnosis. Furthermore, standard methods to detect arthropods in or around one's home can be expensive, time-consuming, and frustrating. We developed a simple, inexpensive way to provide evidence that the lesions are in fact due to arthropod bites. The Modified Onesie Biting Bug Assessment (MOBBA) suit utilizes simple alterations to a full-body onesie-type footed pajama, exposing some body surfaces to insect predators while protecting other areas.
