Don't let the bed bugs bite

I'd heard a year or two ago that bed bugs were on the rise again, even in nice hotels, but there were stories on the BBC and in the New York Times this week, so... beware.

Luckily these nasty critters don't seem to cause disease, but I was alarmed to learn that a hungry bed bug measures about 3/8" long, and a well-fed one can be a half inch long. Ugh!
