Paranoid about bed bugs..hardly travel anymore
I have been all over the world (54 countries) and in some very exclusive hotels and some rathole ones and I have never gotten bed bugs before. However a friend of mind got them and he basically stays in the city. I think it is luck quite frankly.
I have a rednecky habit of keeping my travel clothes, etc. in plastic bags.
This might have saved me from bed bugs. The bugs eat blood but they don’t chew plastic.
