Living on the downtown east side and knowing, meeting or just seeing the people affected i also realize while two people may live in a space that has not yet reached infestation levels one may contain bites often while the other doesn't. This entails that while being down here you may have bed bugs and not even know or show any signs because they are not feasting on you. These single occupancy buildings, which are usually older buildings only need one person living in them who has a friend that drops by for a visit, that may or may not bring eggs or a pregnant bug with them. This is the issue as why it gets so bad down here. On the internet it is pretty easy to find stories about people living in a single occupancy room with like 4 or 5 people who are all addicted to drugs. You must consider that that environment is a haven for the bugs, expecially if these people are on downers get high (or low..lol) and are way to inhibited to for one; clean, but two even consider anything that isn't within the realm of their high. I'm not ignorant i understand that theres usually an exception. A lot of what i've noticed that i really don't think you will find in reports because you gotta be at the heart of it all for a while is that your common hard working individual alcoholic of the downtown eastside one day wares out, a while later they have hookers coming home to fill large voids and contract bed-bugs, from the smell of it i dont want to know what else. k i could go on a lot more but i wont because i know a lot of people that skip the spiel.

If they found evidence of infestation in 80% of the rooms, there must also be some rooms they went into where they didn't find evidence, but bedbugs might have been lurking anyway.
