Foxnews ^ | Oct 25, 2010 | AP News

New York City's bedbugs have climbed out of bed and marched into landmarks like the Empire State Building, Bloomingdale's and Lincoln Center, causing fresh anxiety among tourists who are canceling Big Apple vacations planned for the height of the holiday season.

Some travelers who had arranged trips to New York say they are creeped out about staying in hotels and visiting attractions as new reports of bedbugs seem to pop up every few days. And officials in Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration are concerned about the effect on the city's image and $30 billion tourism industry.

If you think about it... a bed you sleep in has had LOTS of people “messing around” in it.

I found bedbugs at a Marriot-associated hotel in Boston. I spent a half-day trying to find first the office at the Massachusetts Dept. of Health dealing with it, and then someone who would actually answer the phone. Gov’t pr*cks could not care less.

For sure!

I am sure you know DDT was demonized by these same Liberal idiots and subsequently outlawed.
Actual Science shows that it is perfectly safe and the claims of it being a carcinogen are as fraudulent as CO2 being a considered pollutant; but regardless DDT could save millions in Africa from Malaria, but Liberal Junk Science trumps little brown people and is the religion of the Media and so, “LET THE BED BUGS BITE” :)

I won’t either. Same reasons you posted. The thought makes me ill.

My husband has to stay in hotels, his job requires it. I get worried when he comes home. I never know what crawled into his bag.

Bedbugs are a consequence of allowing millions of illegal aliens to roam free and work anywhere in the U.S.

That makes sense until you try to explain why it is NY much more than LA with the bedbug problem. No particular shortage of illegals in LA or other cities in the Southwest.

Why NY?

I don't care how expensive the hotel is...Those places are filthy and nasty...

Ya hear about the family last week, they went somewhere, and went into this hotel room and they turn around and their little kid has a used condom hanging out of his mouth...

Gezzzz....

Karma. Kismet. Fate. Just desserts in a fair world? Who knows?

I am trying to find out the overall hot pepper consumption of NY vs LA, and haven't figure out how to rate the types besides the Scofield units. And that doesn't take into account the differences in the flavinoid molecular structures.

Your link didn’t work so I fixed it. They say here in Ohio, these critters are a huge problem so this information will be extremely useful. Thanks.

The rooms are crawling with nasty bugs, they burrow into the mattresses and lay their eggs...Ya got the illegal maids looting and shaking down the rooms, wit h illegal alien cooks contaminating the food in the hotel kitchens...

Then ya jump in a cab with some hostile A-rab driver that smell like a GD camp fire, and he's scratching his beard...

It's enough to gag a maggot.

On a spiritual level, Bloomberg’s sell out to radical Islam is not going to work out well for New York.

OH MY GOD.

I’ve had chigger bites before. I couldn’t believe how bad they itched but they looked nothing like that woman’s bites.

Now I’m paranoid. I’m going to look up his next hotel stay and see if they are infested.

He HATES staying at hotels but he has no choice.

That picture upsets me.

And now they will be willing to bring back DDT.

They left all those poor people to die overseas and now only DDT is going to save us from Bed Bugs.
