Our good friends recently made a trip to Vegas and had 2 encounters with bedbugs in 2 different hotels.

Now I'd read about it, a bedbug epidemic - but you know how it is, until it happens to you or someone you are close to, it doesn't really, sink in? Yeah.

The first hotel was POSH - and it wasn't them, but a co-presenter at a conference. It happened in an expensive suite in a casino.

Then, on their way home, they stopped at a normal hotel - not the nicest but certainly not a dive - and the first thing they did was CHECK the bed when they went in the room - because they had got paranoid after that happened in Vegas.

Sure enough, there were bedbugs between the mattress and boxsprings there!

Tammy is saying that if they go anywhere else, they are camping. She's been traumatized I think.

Anyway, she was telling me you could see them, but I didn't know what quite what they look like, so I was looking it up. This link has pictures that seem to be what she was describing.

Watch where you sleep!
