throw all your cloths and bedding into the dryer just to be safe
heat kills bedbugs
if you go to an area with bedbugs as soon as you get home strip down and throw those cloths in the dryer

You can also put your stuff in the freezer for a couple of days. If I were you, I would treat all of the stuff you were wearing/carrying.

Note, that bites from bed bugs may take about nine days to show up. They appear in clusters and itch like hell.

Just try not to panic, wash all your clothes/bed sheets at 60 degrees and they should all die!
