It is about time someone starts educating the general public (as opposed to us, the BB aware) about how easily it is to get BB, how and where you can get them, just everything about the bugs. Everyone thinks it can't happen to them. I don't get it. My friends know me well and know how anal I am about everything, why do they think it can happen to me but not them? I have offered all kinds of advice, even typed up a BB travel protocol. Still, I see my co-workers engaging in high risk BB activity. For tha past two days, the local news in Dayton, Ohio has reported on used furniture and clothing. And, now they finally report that several schools in Dayton have the BB. Yesterday's story included the Greene County Health Director claiming 2 ONLY TWO reported cases in Green County Ohio. That is just not so or possible. That type of thing gives residents of Greene County a false sense of security, no wonder they think it can't happen to me!! I wish I could really get an educational program started on how to reduce contracting the BB and how to effectively treat for them as well. A little spray here and there just won't cut it. Anyone with ideas, let me know. We use the local TV station to advertise our business so I have some contacts there if I could come up with a comprehensive plan. They need a special presentation, at least one hour in my opinion. The local, state, and federal governments have to kick in money for this. They are bailing out the fat cats leaving the poor to fend for themselves. I am sooooo frustrated. Can you tell? someone PM me and tell me how to get the entire message on this new forum.

Aballen, but you have to get people to watch and listen. There are so many people out there who either think it's not going to happen to them or that it's only bugs blah blah as in "are you going to live your whole life trying to avoid them refrain etc". What annoys me is other people acting like the proverbial ostriches, which just makes it worse for everyone else!
