Now that makes you stop and think. I used to manage a property and we were one of the first to have bed bugs. The woman had just bought the mattress, over $700.00 and they were only in that mattress, not one of her kids' bedding had one! We had the exterminator in and he said you can bring them home just by visiting someone that has them, they crawl onto your clothing or into your purse, even a bag.
What I am getting at, is, we could probably get them just from shopping if some one else had one on them when they shopped. They can go 2 months or longer without food.
Amazing how one topic can lead to so many.
