&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It has been discovered that bed bugs can carry MRSA -- methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). They have been increasing in the news lately and are being found even in hospitals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While bedbugs were nearly exterminated in North America in the mid-20th century, increased global travel has contributed to their&amp;nbsp;newly found and infamous spreading&amp;nbsp;, according to the CDC. Bedbugs can hide in clothing, in furniture, and are carried in luggage. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are difficult to exterminate-but not impossible. Be sure to do your research before investing in products to get rid of them.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bedbugsnotjustinbeds.blogspot.com/feeds/3150556997173562282/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bedbugsnotjustinbeds.blogspot.com/2011/05/bedbugs-found-to-carry-infectious.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4602104303192150899/posts/default/3150556997173562282'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4602104303192150899/posts/default/3150556997173562282'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bedbugsnotjustinbeds.blogspot.com/2011/05/bedbugs-found-to-carry-infectious.html' title='Bedbugs found to carry Infectious Diseases'/><author><name>Marianne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09915567760238350997</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFWUKIR0OYr8TGNp6YSaXJz96bdiVgJlhAzeXl2O2QoTNwtCaFvKKVy5vR3PxI0M7lONqEC9lS0Bplq35bGikw--aV4dMtGsaSYXWCaIzi3tGNBZIKTKl1QGA-LX_5Knk/s220/105_5503.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602104303192150899.post-6221999043011045068</id><published>2010-09-04T05:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-04T05:01:40.299-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="bed bug extermination"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="bed bug prevention"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="bed bugs"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="South Florida"/><title type='text'>Tourists bringing Bed Bugs to South Florida</title><content type='html'>OH, say it isn&#39;t so!&amp;nbsp; They can travel in suitcases and on you!

&lt;br /&gt;
That is one pest I am sure not looking forward to. Make sure you learn what you can, and wipe them out as soon as you have identified them.&lt;br /&gt;

As if you needed something else to worry about, bedbugs, those pests from the old bedtime rhyme are making a comeback. More of a nuisance than a health hazard, they’re showing up to suck blood from people in hotels, college dorms, and hospitals. Take an informative look at bedbugs: what they are, where they lurk, and how to spot them before they get you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A recent &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forbes.com/2010/08/19/bed-bugs-germs-office-forbes-woman-well-being-illness.html&quot;&gt;Forbes Article&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;says they are also lurking in office spaces! The articles states &quot;Earlier this year, Orkin, the Atlanta-based pest control company, conducted a national survey with the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) and found that 10% of bed bug reports were from commercial properties. At a bed bug conference last year, the Environmental Protection Agency said the incidence of infestation in the U.S. has tripled since 2005.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bed bugs dine on you without waking you. You don&#39;t feel their&amp;nbsp; bite because they inject a numbing agent into your body, along with an anticoagulant to keep your blood flowing as they suck. The first sign of bedbugs may be itchy, red bites on the skin, usually on the arms or shoulders. Bedbugs tend to leave straight rows of bites.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
