When I was a kid I remember my dad saying “ night night sleep tight don’t let the bed bugs bite.” Was just a night time ritual for me but according to the news, the bed bug population has exploded. Why the sudden increase in bed bug outbreaks? The tiny insects had been all but eliminated in United States the 1960s following the widespread use of DDT, but bed bugs remained a problem for much of the rest of the world. Experts believe that the 1970s ban on DDT and an increase in international travel are to blame for the recent outbreak.
Here is a list of the top 10 infected cities in the US. Plan your vacation accordingly. You are welcome.
1. Cincinnati, Ohio
2. Columbus, Ohio
3. Chicago, Illinois
4. Denver, Colorado
5. Detroit, Michigan
6. Washington, D.C.
7. New York, New York
8. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
9. Dayton, Ohio
10. Baltimore, Maryland
Just reading this makes me itch all over.

With the possible exception of Denver, ALL these cities have ONE thing in common...care to guess?
(plays Jeopardy music)
They ALL have large ethnic populations.
And hotels/motels are often used to have illicit affairs and conduct drug deals.
Now, if we "do the math"..we can pretty much figure out WHERE the origins of these outbreaks are coming from...and it's sure not YOUR place or MINE...!
I see black kids with close cropped hair constantly brushing and scratching their heads...sounds like a lice (cooties) issue.
THIS is what occurs when people DO NOT KNOW how to behave like CIVILIZED people and do such things as practice proper HYGIENE and CLEAN their house or apartments.
Add that to the travel mix and there 'ya go.
Very good catch with this post...I like it a LOT.
