The latest is there are bedbugs in your hometown, and any other city you’ve ever been to in the world, but they didn’t make the news. So it’s not a big deal. But apparently if it is in Paris, it’s national it’s a worldwide panic. Bizarre.

Bedbugs have also been reported in cinemas, trains, hospitals and schools. Social media has hugely amplified public anxiety - though many videos circulating on the internet turn out to be of insects that are not bedbugs. In the latest verified case, teachers at the Elisa-Lemonnier lycée (high school) in the 12th district of Paris refused to work on Friday after several classrooms, offices and changing areas were found to have bedbugs - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67027138

I think I've seen this sci-fi movie 😅

In the 3 weeks since the panic started I've had no first hand repots of bedbugs from any of our clients.

I think there never was the bedbugs people said they were. It's looking like people were bitten by harvest mites, which you get on parks gardens and on farms at this time of year.

We are on tour now. We haven’t found any but we check our bed when we check into our room. Google how to check for bed bugs.
