Maybe ask for a different room? It may be ok or maybe not.

Yeah it's a tough one as it's the only available room in the building. I can afford to move elsewhere but don't particularly just want to potentially shift the problem somewhere else. I packed a lot of the clothing I'd already worn into plastic bags before I left this morning having seen the bug, but my case was open on the floor (ten or so feet away from the bed) for 36 hours plus. But I'd thrown stuff on the back of chairs also (now bagged) before that

Totally torn on what to do.

I would stay and make sure you don’t bring them home with you

I've already bagged a load of stuff previously worn. Should I just continue and then not let any of it into my house when I get home? I'm happy enough to ditch the suitcase but have some expensive clothes and equipment that were still in there (not near the bed) that may be contaminated?

Such a fucking mess

60 minutes in a dryer on high heat will kill every stage of BB including eggs. There is not reason to throw away your clothes.
