Don't Let the Bedbugs Bite

WARNING: THE PICTURES IN THE LINKS BELOW ARE KIND OF DISGUSTING, SO BEWARE IF YOU ARE SQUEAMISH ABOUT BUGS.

Bedbugs are making a big comeback in the United States. Once you get them in your house, they are really hard to eradicate because they are tiny and they can live for months without feeding. Often people don't know they have an infestation because at first they think the bites are from mosquitoes or something else.

They can spread from place to place by getting on clothing and then jumping onto someone you rub against or by travelling in luggage. Experts suggest that people avoid bringing used mattresses/bedding into the house and keep their luggage off the floor in hotels. Unfortunately, there's not much else you can do and clean houses are just as susceptible to these bugs as dirty ones. Here's more info:
