Bed Bugs (Uuuuggggh...)

I hear these things are making a comeback in New York. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Oh man, I'd have to hate somebody a lot to wish bedbugs on 'em. Google it -- if they get into your house you'll have the devil's own time trying to get rid of them. Fumigation doesn't work because they burrow deep enough into the walls that it won't kill them all; cleanliness doesn't matter; they will travel 20 feet from their nest in a night to get to you and then hike back. If they hitchhike into your place they are almost impossible to get rid of. Apparently there's lots of 5-star hotels that have them.

What can you do to protect yourself? Check under mattresses in hotels / hostels for their droppings as soon as you arrive in the room; make damn sure they haven't come home with you in your luggage. Once again, google it -- forewarned is forearmed.

My sister manages at an extended stay hotel, typically hosting business travelers from central Asia. I won't even relate the stories about the resultant bedbug infestation. Disgusting. Thank goodness there are companies out there that specialize in exterminating those things.

Careful when traveling.. as you can just as easily bring them home.
