Uh-oh. I'd heard a little bit about a resurgence of bed bugs but this article could be cause for alarm:

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/04/08/MNGIDP4V7K1.DTL

Says they're being reported in all 50 states in surprising numbers.

And, no, I'm not trying to tie this to global warming.

I hate bed bugs ... except the female kind
Did you join a masonic cult, or even advance into the cast of Iluminati?

Wait! I know! You took a tour at the "Opus 1" winery ...

No, I always liked that part of the dollar bill as a kid. The all seeing eye, and all that.

I've not experienced bed bugs. After reading that article, I don't want to.

Dateline did a special on those pesky little critters right before I went on vacation damn them.....and now we can't travel with areosol cans on planes, what's a neurotic to do? On my last trip to NYC I did pull the bed cloths off and discovered that housekeeping hadn't changed the sheets, meerly made the bed up again......one trip down to the lobby and magically appearing before mine eyes ,fresh sheets....

A few years ago when I was travelling a lot, I picked up bedbugs from a hotel. Took a lot of effort to get rid of them but I finally succeeded.
I can confirm the statement in the article of the student who had them at the intersection of ceiling and wall. They like to travel up the walls for some reason, I'm guessing after they get a meal of blood.
