Sorry– the post is gone: removed at the request of the young person who wants to forget the whole thing ever happened. Traditional steps are being taken to eradicate bed bugs, and we wish this individual well.
Sorry to delete your comments which were so well-conceived, but we were all young once– Nobugs too!

A new article on Halifax, Nova Scotia’s bed bug epidemic, appeared in the Chronicle Herald Friday.
