Bedbugs are tiny bloodsucking insects that smell like soda pop syrup and are shaped like apple seeds. Is this about trial lawyer PACs???

Illegals, importing the blood sucking insects that americans don't want to import themselves.

Yup, these are the guys that are the natural disease vector of smallpox. Without bedbugs, smallpox stops spreading. This is why blankets and bedding were necessary to spread smallpox among native americans in the 1800's.

Laura Jesse, an extension entomologist at Iowa State University, said it's tough to stop bedbugs from spreading.
The bugs were somewhat common in the early last century. Laura, how were they stopped then? And why are they spreading now? WE know the answers; YOU just don't want to admit them because they are so un-PC.

Another reason not to like to travel---eeew---take a shower right before leaving for home, seal-pack dirty laundry in plastic and throw it in 140-degree laundry water at home. (A reason to keep your hot water heater turned on high).
Travel is beastly enough without beasts.

Major bed bug outbreak predicted in Boston during 2004. Huge swarms of bed bugs have recently been reported moving toward Massachusetts.

It was just a matter of time before buggery became mainstream...

They don't carry diseases, but they bite while you sleep, turning brownish-red after feeding on your blood.

Family sues over bugs in Md. hotel
By Keith Herbert Inquirer Staff Writer

The Dugans allege that they suffered bites as late as Aug. 20. The infestation drove them from their home for six weeks, and prevented them from using their van for a week, according to the lawsuit.
The complaint states that the Worcester County (Md.) Health Department contacted them and confirmed the seriousness of the bedbug infestation.
The lawsuit also claims that bedbugs
can transmit HIV, hepatitis, and other blood-borne illnesses, and that the family will have to be monitored.
__________________________________________________________
Correct me if I'm wrong; it seems to me the suit would have the right of it, in that any blood-sucker has the potential for exchange of fluids during the feeding process. All I would question is which diseases can survive in them long enough to transfer.

Article SAYS "bedbugs," but these look suspiciously like "Chinches" to me!
These only bite persons that no American was willing to bite.
