Bedbuggers,
The bed bug bite photos page is turning out to be one of the big attractions at our site.
Since it obviously is a resource folks need, I want to keep expaning it. If you have clear photos of your own bites (they can’t be from a cameraphone or otherwise small), please consider adding them. […]

Editor’s note: Remember from last week, how our hero G experienced no signs or symptoms from his adult and nymph bed bug bites? When it comes to the saga of S and G, things are continuing to develop, literally. Read on for the latest update from S. In case you missed […]

Editor’s note from Nobugsonme: As promised, the much-anticipated third part of S’s and G’s Bitefest 2007. You can click on any of the photos to open the photo on flickr.com, then click “all sizes” to see it at its largest. If you missed part one, it’s here. Part two is here. […]

Editor’s note: this is Part 2 in a series of two. If you have not read yesterday’s Part 1, you’ll want to read it first.
What We Learned, So Far (Day 2)

George did not react immediately, and still has not reacted. It’s now the next day. So we now know that they may have […]

Editor’s note from Nobugsonme: this is an exciting story.
I must confess, I thought S and G were mad when they decided to beg their PCO/entomologist friend to let them be bitten by bed bugs. He must have too: he made them sign a waiver, but he let them experiment.
I […]

Before you look at Lou’s bite photos or read his description of them, I have to clarify, for those “newbites” who are unaware, that Lou Sorkin (American Museum of Natural History entomologist) keeps a bed bug colony so he can do research on them. Bed bug newsreels commonly feature one of a number of US […]

Hello all,
S. has asked about hosting photos of bites, bugs, etc. I don’t want to physically store photos on the server, since that uses a lot of space. But an easy option is to use flickr.com. I encourage you to start your own flickr accounts, where you can upload photos. But […]

An article in the Vancouver Sun today gives hope for a committed response from the hotel industry, but, in what’s becoming the grand tradition of bedbug journalism, minimizes the effects of bed bug attacks on innocent travellers.
What’s good about the article? Well, it documents a concerted effort on the part of Vancouver hotels and […]

Pittsburgh is buggin’ today. Watching bedbug news segments and reading articles from around the country can sometimes feel a bit repetitive–same entomologists, same stock photos of bedbugs, stained mattresses, and so on.
Offering a welcome respite from the same old bug photos, this video from KDKA news has Allegheny County Health Dept. entomologist Bill […]

At bedbugger, we love, love, love articles that claim bedbugs are a nuisance, but not really a health issue (not right now, anyway). Not a health issue? Is anxiety a health issue? Loss of sleep? Allergic reactions (not common, but I have one)?
Road rage? Air rage? Going postal?
Wait until […]

Featured in this article from tomorrow’s New York Times is Lou Sorkin, the American Museum of Natural History entomologist who is a member of the yahoo group Bedbugger, from which this blog sprang. Also featured is Michael Potter of the University of Kentucky, who is mentioned in several recent posts here at Bedbugger.
The article does […]

This video, “Bedbugs Attack!” by Kyle Scott Tekiela (on YouTube) is fabulous.
Maybe it will help educate folks who don’t yet believe there’s a problem. It features Michael Potter, the U of Kentucky entomologist we heard from in yesterday’s news round-up.
Thumbs up to Tekiela on interviewing middle class Americans, because most news stories are still […]
