"It's amazing to watch them feed. They really do not like crawling on human skin."

"They crawl around on fabric to find some skin, then extend their rostrum to feed. That's one reason why people do not feel the feeding. They prefer not to crawl on you."

Thanks, bedbugs.

Sleep naked... and somehow float above the sheets.

Who is to blame for these damn bed bugs? I have not even seen one yet, but they are apparently epidemic. And they are freaking all of us out. I could be over run at any time, like Willard or something.

I'm on a trip for work next week, and bedbugs is one thing I've pondered. Guess I could just leave my luggage in the back yard for a while if they've infested the Sheraton. Freeze the suckers.

Best comment on the article, "I didn't know bedbugs were so uppity."
