don't let the bedbugs bite!

no, i'm not wishing you a cute 'good night.'
i'm warning you that you should watch out for bed bugs. i didn't even know they were real!

on the sunday edition of la times a couple days ago, there was a whole article on the return of these BED BUGS. i can't find the exact article on the la times website but it was close to this blog article. they're making a come back since their enemy, DDT, has been banned in the US. bed bugs are hard to kill, even with over the counter pesticides, so they've serious. reports of bedbugs have been sprouting up from all over the country and yes, CALIFORNIA. it's really easy to get them from public places. their eggs are near invisible and you might catch some on your purse or shoes. YIKES! they're awfully hard to get rid of, and you might have to throw out all your furniture.

so.... just watch out. not much is being done by the gov't yet because they're not known to carry diseases. but bed bugs sound prettty gross, don't they?

*bringing back DDT is not an option because it's hazardous to all organisms.
