Three articles on bed bugs appeared today in the Washington Post. One gives a first-person account of what was apparently a not-so-serious bed bug case, and the second shrugs away the problem as a bunch of media hype.
“Yes, Tiny, Evil–and in My Bed” is the first, and provides yet another first-person account from […]

After traveling to 71 countries and staying in hundreds of hotels, NY1 journalist Valerie D’Elia encountered bed bugs in a hotel. Luckily, she did not appear to take them home with her.
Here she tells the story, and asks a few questions of attorney Steven De Castro (who’s been involved with bed bug lawsuits) and […]

Note to readers: I am experimenting with posting some brief bed bug news links–with shorter commentary from me. I will still be doing more in-depth analyses (as often as before), but since the volume of stories is increasing, in this way, I can share more of the news with you, more promptly. Let me […]

This week he published a follow-up, which focuses largely on the many ideas people suggest (besides PCOs) for fighting the bugs. Hmm, Barbra Streisand albums. Now there’s an idea we hadn’t heard before. Cats? Barry’s right–not only do they […]

Yet another journalist gets bed bugs.
When I spoke to Meredith May of the San Francisco Chronicle, I told her I knew of one journalist who’d gotten bed bugs (months after a story s/he wrote, and with no suspected connection between doing the research on them and catching them, in case you’re wondering, as I was). […]
