So, Paris is Currently Infested With Bed Bugs...

Someone please shield my faves. I am having the ick all over my body. Yikes.

God, please, no one bring this back to LA, and please, not my building specifically.

My parents and I have only ever had covid (pneumonia is worse tho imo, I thought nothing could top covid and something did) but they’re not scared of anything like they are bed bugs. After my grandpa brought home a couch from the side of the street, my parents have been super vigilant even tho it wasn’t even our house. It was a nightmare to get them out of my grandparents’ apartment and so I couldn’t imagine how awful it’d be in a family home they’re constantly harping on about not bringing food upstairs when that doesn’t even attract the BB in the first plac

Oh no! Your poor grandpa!

Oh goodness! May the force be with you and your companions. Here's a bit of good luck bug spray.

This is shocking to me. You would think a city like Paris would already have a bed bug problem lol

You're not wrong, lol.

But apparently it got so bad this summer onward to the point now they are invading public spaces. Planes, trains, hotels (and not just the "cheap ones"), etc.

And, it's not because they are not trying to kill them. Those mfers have evolved and are now immune to most of the pesticides.

I guess because it now affects the general population and not just the poors, it's a problem lol.

Only reason we are even hearing about it now is because of Fashion week and influencers going over there and talking about it. Also, because of the Olympics next year. They don't want to mess up that tourist money.
