It's been in the news these last several months that bedbugs are on the rise again.
The problem is, they get spread by people, so even the best hotels may get them. And once a room has them, they are extremely hard to get rid of! It's not just hotels. They can pass from person to person in airplanes, buses, even store dressing rooms. You can buy a new mattress infested with them because the same truck that delivers the mattresses may haul away old ones.
