This is horrific. If this tenant gets on public transportation or goes to doctors offices or stores they can spread these bugs.
Years ago I moved into a little cabin in Chocorua NH that had bedbugs. I would wake up with huge welts in areas of my body that weren’t covered by pajamas and I thought they were spider bites because I would see spiders everywhere. I had no idea until I went to see my Doctor who immediately knew what they were.
(Apparently they bite in a pretty straight line of 3 bites-the doctor called it “breakfast, lunch, and dinner”.)
This was 10 years ago and I’m still kind of traumatized by it. I suppose the bright side is that if I was anywhere with bedbugs I would know instantly because of the welts that I get if they bite me.
I immediately moved out, I washed and dried everything that I could. Some of my clothes got destroyed in the dryer and I didn’t even care. The rest of my stuff sat in my car for a week baking in the summer sun. My TV got destroyed but it was better than bringing bugs into my mom’s, who was kind enough to let me escape to her place.

Oh my God this is horrendous. An eleven year old girl was killed when her neighbour tried to treat a #bedbug infestation with illegally imported poison gas. Yes this was a terrible and negligent decision but I can't help feeling part of the blame lies with the landlord for providing poor housing conditions and failing to treat the infestation.
60% - 80% of the population have some sort of parasitic infection and they don’t realize they have one. So many symptoms are related to parasitic infection, and oftentimes you go to your physician and complain about a symptom you end up with a medication. They don’t put it together and say ‘huh this could be a parasitic infection’.
Symptoms related to parasitic infection:
Vomitting Diarrhea Nausea Change in your bowel movements (a sudden change, all of a sudden you constipated, loose stool, diarrhea)
unexplained fatigue or malaise, constantly tired no matter what you do, got 10 hours of sleep and still tired.
Sleep disturbances.(Toss and turn, wake up 2 in the morning and can’t go back to bed, this could be a blood sugar problem but also could be a parasitic infection)
Itchy skin, rectum, pinworms are notorious for itchiness around the rectum. unexplained itchy skin is very common with parasitic infections.

Suspected a hotel had bedbugs 30 minutes after checking in, immediately checked out (didn't even get in bed). We've been inspecting and cleaning everything now that we're home and found this. Is this a bedbug?
Boost please. Any help is appreciated

Meanwhile in #Paris..... having been subjected to a #bedbug infestation & a #sewage problem in the #Seine, now the #Olympics organisers are picking a fight with Paris' riverside #book stalls that they want to absent themselves from the banks while the opening ceremony as their stock boxes are apparently a security risk...
How this will play out for the Paris mayor & Olympics management remains to be seen
I felt bored watching Killers of the flower moon, I even went to see with my smartphone's flashlight if bedbugs weren't having fun around my seat. #LeonardoDiCaprio and #RobertDeNiro act bad It's distracting. Lily Gladstone is fine. After reading the flamboyant book by David Grann, i think its adaptation was narrow and plane. What I liked: Some great shots (Scorsese!) and the movie points straight at evil, ignorance and greed. #Killersoftheflowermoon #scorsese #davidgrann #movie #cinema #bedbug
"...United States in 2007 showed that bedbugs resistant to pyrethroid insecticides were rampant"
"Insecticide-resistant bedbugs ...were also detected in #Japan."
"[Bedbugs] are active during warm periods and can survive several months without feeding"
"It is difficult to eliminate bedbugs from homes without professional help. The insects crawl into any crack as wide as 1 millimeter"

"...Paris city hall said the invasion of bloodsucking insects must be tackled before next year’s Olympic Games and the transport minister summoned train and bus operators to prevent the [bedbugs] multiplying on seats."

#Bedbug hysteria has now spread from #Paris to #London. I expect to start seeing Starship Troopers-style recruitment ads appearing on the #tube
Meanwhile, back in #Paris...
Having already had to 'fess up to a major #bedbug problem across the city, now it seems there is also an urgent need to clear up the #Seine, which is being used as a sewage outflow (such an English problem)...
So, not only are you going to be scratching & itching your way through the #Olympics next year, you're going to be feeling a little ill if you get in the city's river...
Its not a great way to start your marketing to #sports fans, now is it?
