I'm so encouraged by this email I got today from my contact at Public Health. I've been copying him on links from this site and articles...He called me months ago, but I was in no shape to be "active" in anything other than eradication. I'm sharing and if you have advice, please do......................................................

We have accepted an OSU intern for 400 hours to work specifically on this issue for 2009.

I and her supervisor are looking at sending her to Seattle for the Bed Bug summit. Additionally I have passed your name along to her as a citizen advocate. She may be contacting you for more information as we proceed in resuming our facilitative role.
